Such is the nature of Tatsuatime.
Those that realize this will ascend to godhood.

Just a harmless friendly debate. From what I know of the setting and mechanics here, magic is not something you throw around lightly. It takes a very powerful entity to alter space-time or rewrite laws, and Skys' time mage is one of the most OP characters here because of that. Not every character is going to have that ability. As Anderiel said in an earlier post, magic in this RP is based on a mana pool to do these things, and the more you use, the more you exhaust yourself. So you can't go bending space willy-nilly to put a piece of lead in somebody 10 miles away, it'll be a complicated and stressing spell that you use sparingly.

Essentially, Click, stop wasting your time with debates and get posting. It's Anderiel's decision, and Taka's probably sold off his liver and viriginity in the RP Black Market to get his mahou shoujo assassin-chan.

Really? Considering my opening post had a hostage and robbery at a downtown bank I thought it would be the same bank.

Wikipedia: For an observer standing on the ground with h = 1.70 metres (5 ft 7 in) (average eye-level height), the horizon is at a distance of 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi).How will you aim? Magic won't fix that.

Tell your twin to stop looking up flamboyant comics and post.@Superman: Is he a male prostitute? Also, for the heat cutting thing, thanks for finally doing it in and making me have to create a periodic table for this RP. So let's add that to the fucking checklist.✓

Well, I was thinking since this is primordial fantasy animu, such laws wouldn't really apply to our powerful animu weapons. But there's no way getting around the fact that the earth is between you and your target, and no matter how advanced your gun is, there's no way to have over the horizon fire control radar for a rifle.

The curvature of the earth has less to do with it than air resistance. a modern day .50 bmg has a muzzle velocity of about 850m/s. by the time it reaches just 2km out it's down to about half of that and has already lost 75% of it's energy. The maximum possible range of a .50 caliber sniper rifle is usually listed as about 6.8km because at that range you'd do more damage by walking up to your target and throwing rocks.and I this point I realize that I spent half an hour working on this when nobody cares.

Hey hey, so Lyna's own op magitech rifle only has an effective range of 3km/2mi. Ten damn miles is 5 times the range of her rifle, which I already consider slightly op. You can't even snipe ten miles even if you had the range because of the curvature of the planet, bro.
