• Why don't the hex wishcoins give a noticeable backlash? Stars, presumably, can mutilate or kill the wisher with their backlash. Is the hex backlash too low to be noticed?
  • It's explained somewhere, maybe on the forums, that wishcoin backlash uses power extremely inefficiently, so though a person acting deliberately can easily blow a person up with a pentagon the backlash from a hex is so inefficient that it usually doesn't produce noticeable effects. Theoretically you could get killed by a smaller coin but it's incredibly unlikely.
