we do many impssible things and people get frustrated in a fantasy setting when things do not line up with the real world?

Is ther a voice of order in here if that is the case?

We are chaos, not entropy.  That means that even we must create a little order every now an again.  Also, this fantasy setting seems to be constrained by all the same physical laws, so I think we can safely argue that.

+1, except for referring to arthropods as "lower," you hominid centrist.

I am not a hominid centrist, I worship a giant turtle.

Oh, fun idea. Move the heat from the water to freeze it and boil the water around the ice bridge. Then when the enemy trails us, collapse the ice and cook them like lobsters. With a delicious iron shell.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Tell Edward to experiment with his saltwater-firenector mixture, maybe there is a way to control the explosion by spraying small amounts of it together, creating a small, incredibly hot, but not explodey flame.

This gave me an idea.
Could the mixture be used as a substitute for gunpowder with a little work?

Lower on the evolutionary chain? In a way, yes.

EVOLUTION! DOES! NOT! WORK! THAT! WAY!

What's wrong with having a bunch of 'slaves' in our people's possession?

The slave part.

Okay, sure, calling them slaves may be a bit much, but they wouldn't be indentured servants nor cattle.

Then why did you call them "slaves"? A slave isn't a mere laborer, it's someone who is sub-human (or whatever race), property rather than person. Making workers? Fine with me. A new race, just to be slaves to the humans? No.

It would be the sphere of temperature if we could freeze things. We can't. We have control of the chemical reactions of fire, can increase the temperature of something, or reduce it up to a point; that point likely being somewhere around a hundre to a few hundred degrees.

Actually, as has been quoted, previous Fire Gods have reduced temperatures, to the point of freezing paths across oceans. We probably could do stuff like that, too, if we tried (and had absurd amounts of mana to burn).

Oh, fun idea. Move the heat from the water to freeze it and boil the water around the ice bridge. Then when the enemy trails us, collapse the ice and cook them like lobsters. With a delicious iron shell.

That actually sounds kinda hilarious. But we'd need a substantial moat to try that.

The reason Fire Gods can, with a little creativity, freeze water is because manipulation of heat falls within their sphere. Gods of Frost are likewise flexible, but in different ways.

The GM has spoken. Now stop bickering.

You might be able to break apart large molecules if you're careful.  Splitting one atom with another doesn't really work.  At best we'd fuse them and make an H-bomb.  At worst we just wasted a bunch of energy fusing iron together.  The reason nuclear fission works is because the atoms are 1) very unstable 2)free neutrons do the splitting 3) You've got a critical mass of it lumped together so that the chain reaction can occur 4) Without said chain reaction we won't be doing any atom splitting, at least not without an enormous investment in energy on our behalf for very little gain, especially if we're after certain elements.  Seriously, it would be much cheaper to just buy the shit.

I think efficiency was out the window once I suggested manipulating individual atoms.

I have a sneaking suspicion you have just led to the creation of the medieval H bomb.

Just curious, what would the benefit be of making a "slave" or "worker" race when we already have stems?  Also we don't just have a bug theme we also have a plant theme.  I actually prefer the plant theme.  A white tree against a black background might even make a good flag/banner if we want one.

I suppose that is an acceptable waste of our power.
BRING ON THE HEAT!

We don't have any fissionable material and don't know if we can manipulate atoms anyway.

I don't really like an idea of using real life WMDs in a fantasy game. But if we do want to get some plutonium we should probably ask Urist for rocks that make his dwarves mysteriously sick.

we get a bunch of hydrogen together and then pile on enough heat in a small area so we fuse it together, and there will be a larger release of energy than input of energy.
