<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Ok. Good luck with business.

@Darlit Glitch

I believe Soren can explain it best.

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

I was talking to our friend Tech Deck.

@Multifarious

I figured, but I had my doubts.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Wow? Why wow? Underground hideouts are a bit overdone, but they're still cool.

@Multifarious

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

@Host

Have you heard what happened to Serenity? Poor girl.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

Sorry or the long winded answer, I was being kinda defensive.

@Darlit Glitch

I can see.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

Or they can just, you know, blow up the bulbs.

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

He probably won't find me.

@Host

Yeah.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

That's pretty cool I guess.

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

No, I'm saying what if he does? Did he suddenly become a poor magician?

@Host

Sreig is probably searching for you right now.

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

Since you can't always count on having a bunch of power to draw from, most magic uses precision to achieve it's results, instead of brute force.
Let's say he uses magic to turn off the lights, he can do it in a few ways.
*starts counting out on fingers.*
One. He can compress the air above or below the switch and release it in a focused burst to move it.
Two. Mess with the gravitational effects on the switch to make it move.
Three. Bend space to make it closer.
And so on.
But all of these require at lease a decent amount of power to achieve, and oftentimes magic users are targeted right after they're done with giant spells. So if he get's attacked after a huge experiment the next day, he's not likely to have much energy left, and the energy that he used to turn off that light could deflect a bullet or create a distraction, giving him time to live and recover.
It's the reason why most of the careless magic users are dead, because they aren't prepared for such situations, making them powerless and physically unable to protect themselves.

@Darlit Glitch

I see.
