I am unsure if this is a bug or intended, but it seems somewhat buggy, the two spells do the same thing (9.5 speed goes 37 blocks up, 2x5 speed goes 38 blocks up)

The cost and the complexity of these two spells are incredibly different.
I am aware of the fact that projection goes up alot on the 2x5 spell, but having one spell cost a fourth of another with the exact same function seems somewhat unintended

(Build 18)

It's because add motion is exponential in it's cost, so adding more tricks is always cheaper than one big one. I suppose that's why projection exists.

Yeah, this is definitely a problem. There's really no way for the pieces to interface with one another. I might just have to do it so you can only use a single add motion in a given axis. :|

But then you might cut off the possibility of a good flight spell :( and that would be terrible if you know what I mean. ;)

Got any other ideas to fix this?

Make adding motion less effective the more the player is moving in that
direction?

I am aware that it is exponential, but a 3/4 psi cost reduction doesn't seem intended

Or for each of the tricks that are already in the spell you can give a 0.5 multiplier to Potency and Cost.
In this case it would be x3 so Potency: 210 and Cost: 1800, thats cheaper than the single Add Motion spell but you gain that from using more Bandwith and Projection. If it has a bad effect on other tricks you can narrow it down only to Motion type tricks, but to justify that to a player is another problem

Maybe doing something where you add up all of the constants pr. direction, and then doing exponential growth on that, i don't know how possible that is with the way the code is set up tho.
