Right, picking the closest one it is. xD

Assuuione (A Multiverse RP)- Open for Business!

Question: any of the areas in line with each other? xD

You may be underestimating what a total understanding of the kinetic energy in an area will let a person do.

@Silvan Haven

Very little without some means to influence it. Let's assume a savant with that ability and decent physical training: with effort, they will be able to match casual attacks with a gear using only their bare hands. Everyone else gets the fun of spotting exactly how they're squished.

Don't bring physics into this. xD

Reading over Silvan's profile and the "All-Seeing Eye" thing that Odin had going on.

Those glasses are far from useless. Even though it's within Hikaru's field of vision, seeing anything is pretty scary.

>Seeing structural weaknesses in a weapon
>Seeing the way the movement of the air
>Seeing mana buildup

Being able to see anything is incredibly versatile.

@Crimmy

First one just flat out doesn't exist with Divine Gears and stuff in any practical way. Plus... gun. Congratulations on landing a shot on an exact point of a weapon?

Everything else suffers from only being able to activate one or two, and probably from sensory overload even if half a dozen could be kept up. Even with Air Traffic Controller reactions, that's... not a useful ability if you have to consciously swap between infinite options and hope one of them shows something useful.

@Crimmy I call upon Minoru's service as a ringside commentator! xD

Jennifer White

Resisting the deflection would have been pointless; Ruriko was mostly using her own momentum against her. She wasn't about to give in yet, however, and eating a counter-attack to the face was tantamount to surrender. What, then was the blonde going to do? Maybe she could counter the deflection with a parry of her own but that would be a close-cut thing. So Jen opted for something far less reasonable: going with the downwards momentum of the continued attack and dropping almost to the floor. That, on its own, was simply a bad idea; she took things further by releasing her right hand from the grip and using it as a pivot to spin entirely, expecting that the unexpected move and drop would achieve two goals: avoid the routine counter-attack and provide a cut from an unexpected angle, securing her the win. Of course, it relied on speed and agility since it was hardly the most conservative of moves... but those were two things that the blonde had in abundance.

An objective observer would probably hope for someone to come along and break the fight up before it drew blood. Even though mock battles were far more restrained than real ones, they were still conducted with dangerous weaponry and, in fights like this, it would be far too easy for someone to get seriously hurt...

"I shouldn't have been going into battles without some sort of range anyway. My pact gives me good aim... I just got lazy and after breaking about three bows through pulling back too hard, I just went for punching and tossing any rubble that happened to be around," Kaede answered, laughing at her own flaws.

Natural battlefields, huh? They were an interesting idea but... there were so many things about them that would get in the way. "If you set up battles in forests, it would ruin the tournament aspect. It instantly gives advantages to some weapons over another and the crowd can't even watch what's happening well.

"Even if the Gate opens again, what good is a little experience with one-on-one fights in a natural environment going to do? You can get the area practice from training rooms and a better handle on the things from outside, too. The tournament is just a sport, like fencing; it doesn't need to be realistic."

If I had to name examples...

The electromagnetic spectrum, magical energy, emotions, kinetic energy, how objects interact with one another.

Concepts tend to take more mana and she can't see people's thoughts.

@Silvan Haven

So.... having talked things over with Vita, that all seems kind of useless. Maybe thermal vision would be useful, but aside from that it looks like a bunch of modes that you'd never put to use and are totally irrelevant in other scenarios? Which leaves your character's sole weapon as... a totally normal gun, albeit one powered by magic* rather than explosions. It seems to fall a bit short of the acid test of whether the main piece of equipment is going to be used.

Inefficiently, at that. A whole ingot for six shots?

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

Please explain which part confuses you.

@Silvan Haven

You haven't actually said what the vision modes are. Just "it can see lots of things". For the character's main piece of equipment, some specifics on how they can use it is necessary.

Academy Wars: Rituals and Technology in the Modern World, a Magitech School RP

That doesn't explain any more...

Despite knowing it was being written, forgot to accept it. Oops.

But yes, he's accepted. @Dblade26
