Default Lesser Horror bonus

In an SP game Pan and Man have gone nutso with temples, so to raze them I've been sending out a few Lesser Horrors a turn. Even solo Lesser Horrors do a pretty good job against the mid-level PD the AI is buying, and the occasional small army that happens to be in the province. They are successful about 80% of the time.

But about once every 4 casts, I get a fully-fledged horror who absolutely ravages the opposition. Nice! I'm boosting S2B1 units to S3B2 to cast, so no way I'm accidentally casting Send Horror.

Has anyone had an extra-special doom horror pop out of a Lesser Horror or Send Horror ritual? Or are vanilla Horrors the best that will appear?

Was astral corruption in play? It gives Horrors a chance of being upgraded, and you should get Doom Horrors occasionally on send/call Horror if it is.

Yes it is. I did not know that, thanks! So that's why I've never seen it before, I don't bring AC up very often.

I'm eagerly awaiting Kurgi paying a visit to Pan's temples now .

Does anyone know the exact amount of horror marks it takes, assuming that horror mark is worth one unit of horror marking, for different types of horrors to be summoned? I must have put 30+ horror marks on a pretender one game, and he never got anything more than a regular horror. I was quite disappointed.

Horror marking comes in "levels". Ok, most people know that.

What they don't know is that only some effects have the capacity to increase a horror mark to the next level. The spell Horror Mark seems to either not increase a mark's severity, or it has a very low chance.

The Forbidden Light seems to increase Horror Marks quite quickly, though. I've never increased a Horror Mark past the point where each turn its "one Doom Horror, then a Horror, then another Horror", but it might get worse.
