Yeah.
Do you have to use Codex resources to take them out, or can you rely on allies outside that bubble?
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
*Sighs*
Yeah.

It's not really something you can just "get good" at.

*I shake my head*
No, they don't work the way they did in our memories. It's based on our connection to the NS, and our inherent potential with them. It's infuriating, but I'm just slower at it. And we don't even know where the person who's faster than me stands in all this.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
Overwhelming a weakened opponent is the closest I know of to that. If Ulthar's right, we have to go through someone with a better version of my own power anyway. Apparently I'm only the second best at it now.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
... Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that, that's really brilliant and NO. That's not how it works at all.

Equal power levels. She's stuck because there's a huge portion of the Borderline power being used to keep her there.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
That's one part of it, yes. More as in "she can do basically anything by making it real that it's happened."
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
From what we know, she's basically as strong but the big difference between them is her power is "actualization." Which is cheating by the way, and we don't know much about her personality other than that she also has a fanatical following just about the same size.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
That's the plan. If we release the prisoner, she'll keep her occupied enough to slowly drain both their power. The key thing is Ulthar keeping them from fighting outright where they'll... basically destroy everything. Then if we take out their followers, it might be possible to beat them both. We're a little afraid that beating her alone will just release her rival too and then we're in the same position.
