Alright, well, since no edits have rolled in from lotus yet, I'll get everything else out of the way right now...

[@VitaVitaAR]: I mean, if the duffel bag's not [i]too[/i] huge, then it should be okay. I think. Otherwise, I guess that's fine. Accepted.

[@Grey Star]:
[list][*]Well, not to be technical, but fake glasses don't dull eyesight, per se. They're usually clear plastic, iirc.
[*]Since when was 16 a freshman? In Japan, 15's a freshman because high school's only 3 years long iirc. Well, generally, unless you're going off of either a) the lunar calendar or b) other shenanigans that may have gone down... I think.
[*]Please tell me she doesn't bring that stuff with her to school.

's about it, I think. Also, a wok more or less named 'Master' seems... Interesting. I'll see how this plays out.

[@KoL]:
Hm. Well, nonspecific height is a minor issue, for one, but... Yeah, let's get to the issue of that power you've got there.
Hoo boy. Well. That's broken. Like, a mile is MUCH more than a small city block; I would know, I LIVE in New York City. Like, twenty blocks is a mile here, so even half a square mile is [b]HUGE[/b]. Also, after plugging the numbers in following some minor calculations (praise be to algebra plus logarithms), the barrier hits max size in ~7.33 cycles. That's freaking FAST, especially given how it's growing exponentially. Nerf numbers on that, please. Both fronts.

Following that, I kinda need an idea of the rate at which the energy gets drained. Also, the fact that it's inescapable means that there's no counterplay if a character ends up inside while fighting yours... Well, at least, as long as she's allowed to not be inside the boundary while it does its magic. I like the concept, but it just seems really heavily balanced in favor of your character. Not many other issues at the moment, but since history isn't complete I can't judge any further.
