I might not be able to post until after Monday, so Not sure if Skalla wants to extend the time or not. [quote=@yoshua171] The thing about Raelis' abilities is they can all build up rather quickly. He can pressurize air by moving. His heat is basically a passive prep (meaning it builds up at a constant rate as long as he devotes energy to channeling it). The electromagnetic bit is less a prep, but more a build up. If it's not a prep, it'd still be just fine considering the other points, which is why I mentioned both points rather than just one point. For all intensive purposes I don't consider Raelis' heat generation a prep, nor the electromagnetic or wind bits. They behave similarly, but are not quite the same. So the only thing that's feasibly being prepped is the armor. Anywho. Rather than edit my last post. Just presume he didn't waste much time, energy, or attention doing that.[hr] Side note so that you're aware of this for my next post and don't mistake it for my character [i]thinking[/i] it to be true, rather than it literally being true. The Light of Devene is a magic which [i]channels[/i] energy from their star, Rhay. This means that the magic is not the GENERATION of the heat/light, but instead is the guidance and channeling of this heat/light. Ultimately this means that the "elemental," nature of the Devene light is NOT magic, but that their control of it is. So when I use heat magic, your starlhrim blades can't absorb the heat because they interact with magical/supernatural energy. What they will absorb is the energy that is guiding the magic. This means that the heat/light will remain where it was and will not disperse, weaken, dim, or lower in temp. It'll just sit there till a user of Devene light reconnects to it with their energies. So yeah, absorbing his magic doesn't lower the temperature or dim the light, but instead disrupts his control of that heat and light. This is OOC knowledge and since Khazna, or the Angar-Rylla, have not made contact with the Asarae he has no business knowing or predicting it because he shouldn't know how the magic works. If I see you countering it due to having "predicted it," I am going to be be upset. With that in mind [b]*works on his reply*[/b] Edit: Noted in regards to his mask. [/quote] Ah, well it mentioned the air prep of six turns or something awhile ago so I was confused about what was the prep and what was not. I was going to edit my post to reflect the parry's not causing the armor to be cleaved, but I guess it won't matter now that you posted anyway. The nature of Devene is not all that important. Since what Khazna does is not absorb magic, he cuts the threads that caused or allowed it to exist. This essentially means it possesses no future, no past, and thus never existed. Causing the effect to meet a sort of paradox that causes the effect to collapse. For example a spell that created fire or wind would not mean the fire itself is magic, he merely cut out the magic from its past thus causing the fire to cease to exist in the now. He can basically see space time (in short he has a dreamers vision though it is imperfect as he can't read the future only see the threads) though he can't physically manipulate space or time himself, but he can cut the magic/channeling in the past that created the effect thus it ceases to exist or happen. Make sense? It's a tad hard to explain, but as long as magic caused the effect, or started the channeling of it to a place. If it never happened the effect wont exist in the now.
