Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Again, certain runes are mentioned but not described. I like to shine light on my abilities, to avoid the chance of being accused of bullshitting. The 'path' rune isn't explained whatsoever, although it's in virtually every idiom. The 'time' rune, which actually doesn't control time, is required in the idiom that does.

However, this still doesn't change the fact that you could up the anti without ever having said so. Without a clear definition of spells, I can assume you're capable of increasing the maximum amount at will, in secret. Given that we've entered the high tier, but I didn't begin in it, I can assume you've mentally prepared new frontiers for your character's varied magic already.

So, if 'likes evocation' concludes using every elemental spell... the fact 'likes magic' is written in Myron's profile, should give me the option of adding in some new spells to fit climbing a tier, as long as I openly express what they can do. It's also openly stated that there are hundreds of runes, and hundreds of them in his book. He memorized a certain amount, however, upon scrolling through his tome, he may remember these unmentioned runes. In any case, any new spells will not be high tier themselves, any that could be, will be idioms based on the spells he's already listed as having, giving you no reason to deny them. (E.G, A vortex, consisting of gravity sucking everything in to a rift.) If anything I have the same excuse here as you've used; "Everything is in his sheet," albeit vaguely so.

Alright, thanks for the coverage.

I don't see an issue with more runes, mainly because I've been expecting an 'everything and anything' response from Corban ever since the cryoclone. Most of these runes aren't particularly new, some are mentioned but not explained, and others are idioms made of pre-existing runes that I could've concocted without needing to explain them (I.E. Possible with his current skillset unaltered). I'm adding a couple new ones however, ones not specifically made for high tier, but the kind to make it less of a burden for Myron to face high tier enemies. I don't see this being a true issue, considering Corban has thousands of non-listed spells under his belt.

Esti will be explained, too. It's a magical race, I'll give you that hint.

Feel free to edit your post and add in actual damage being dealt, rather than simple burns to his robes. Since he didn't dodge, I do think the burns would materialize on his chest.

Also, now on to another ability of his that confuses me. Although I'm not against it as much as its process eludes me so far. Corban and Ishtalle fused together? What parts of both characters are present in the one new body? As in, each organ roughly, (I assume the skin is veiled by Ishtalle's durability, but coating Corban's?)

I've been working on Myron's extended rune sheet, I'll have the information available to you before my next post.

@LeeRoyYou adore guns. You hate numbers. You're angry. You're sure that people can survive multiple gunshot wounds and come out with a knife kill.

I've come to the conclusion that you are the human incarnation of Call of Duty.

The rest of us that like numbers and math are probably reincarnations of various MMOs. Cause you know... wooo, level up! 45 Strength! Etc etc.

Alright. I can see multiple scenarios unfolding, but in the end it will be up to Innue.

If it's rationalized that Corban couldn't summon the second barrier (aerogel + disjunction) in time, then I can see the annihilation beam eating through his diamond barrier and dealing severe damage. This is the worst case scenario for you. Although the gems are resistant to fire and lightning, it's not mentioned that they're upright immune, so it's wholly possible for a peak level energy blast to get the job done.

If Corban's second barrier is created in time but not fast enough to gain its full strength, then I can see the late sparks and stray blasts of the laser leaving vicious burns at most. Perhaps an explosion as well that would send Corban flying.

If he upped both defenses in time, but they weren't strong enough to take the blast - again - horrible burns is my weather forecast.

If he upped both defences and they were strong enough to deflect the blast... that means Innue thinks your character could react perfectly in the 1/2 second given.

There are probably other outcomes I'm missing, but this is what I see based on my understanding of my own ability.

On another note, how capable is Corban at self-healing?

After saying I can use the gravity rune, you'd lack intuition to imagine I wouldn't apply its effects to spells that require its effects.

Upon looking back, I never mentioned cutting the effects of gravity out of my idioms. Saying I did would be a lie.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Even if the beam is split, it's gravity locked in a certain direction by force, so only a fraction of its width would be redirected, and then that redirected energy would just continue to follow the gravitational path around the sword's blade. I personally assumed that the laserbeam could pierce those gems because 1) you stated that stray sparks punched holes in the barrier, 2) the disintegration ray is far more powerful than your average fire or lightning spell, the energies you mentioned, and it's especially effective at destroying physical constructs. 3) I don't think Corban could react fast enough to conjure that barriered graphene-aerogel in time; but when I find out if he can, I'll have the most accurate template possible to apply my own cast times in the future.

I think... the issue here is that... if Corban's defence here falters, it might indeed spell his doom. He made absolutely no attempt to actually dodge the beam, so if it hits, it hits him dead on, exactly at the vitals Myron was aiming for. It can pierce his diamond dome with ease, and has 100ft of girth behind it to spear him in place until he's done with life. I doubt he'd be able to concentrate on erecting barriers when his heart, lungs, and spine have all been reduced to ash.

Given the situation, if I was in Divinity's shoes, I'd also argue every single little speck of information I could in order to save myself the loss.

The annihilation rune works more like a gun than your traditional kamehameha. Its prep mostly consists of the process of aiming it, which indeed was done, and of course the initial act of writing it, also done. Preps vary, especially if the magic is unique. Usually a prep is associated with power as a means to make things fair, stronger spells would require more preparation, so that wizards aren't spamming their godliest abilities without backlash.

EDIT: I'll be strictly honest with you, Div. I do want your character to be dead ASAP, I kind of want out of this fight. But forfeiting isn't an option I give myself.

You wrote your character sheet beyond a level of vagueness I thought humanly possible, to the point where I was practically forced in to misinterpreting it. Those bracketed abilities? I thought all of them were just magical domains Corban had read up on, so he could react to them accordingly. You even placed them right where it would hint towards that. Then I find out each bracketed ability could constitute a thousand or so spells, you can imagine how tricked I felt.

'Likes Evocation,' still doesn't explain anything he's done with evocation so far. It just means he appreciates it.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Delayed reactions. Prep... doesn't prep mean prepare? If it does, Myron prepared his rune, then kept it dormant until he needed it.

You also overlooked how blood magic was the main factor in Myron locating Corban underground, and he's beyond a master in such an art. Earth magic; I didn't say he couldn't control earth without water, he's fully capable of scouting the area with geomancy.

You didn't give me access to Myron's space-time paradox, so that's a lie. So no, no 'time' based magic here. Gravity and rift, sure. I never unlocked the timespace paradox. We didn't actually get to that, not yet. I was waiting to be done with this issue. If your character could do what you've expressed him capable of in that post, my god, I'd definitely need to control time itself to beat you.

I assume a prep is actually just an abbreviation of prepare. I should know, my character actually struggles with cast times and spells that require preparation, unlike Corban.
