Probably doesn’t work then- it may be an enviromental effect, but it’s still replacing one dimension with another.

Also, the point is, base Astral Energy off of feats. What it has actually shown to do. Don’t create arbitrary feats simply to ensure your characters don’t get oofed in a vs battles debate; let me promise you, it will hurt your writing. After all, simply saying “It resists anything haxxy” is quite subjective and broad, alongside “massive disadvantage.” I can’t debate around that.

Valev’s resistances have canonical feats and reasonings- Bambu has a massive blog for all D&D resistances, with sources. They are described, they have definitions.

Mana output doesn’t always linearly equal damage output in WoM: some people couldn’t use all their mana on a singular attack. But yea, it’s decently similar to AP, I guess.

If it bypasses unconvential variants, it needs to be described what it resists, and how.
