Amen to that Gold.
To which?
Hainuwele has no magic either, it's a super power based on mind
It is?
Either statment.
What statements?
I'm busy doing math ferociously to see if Neferis has a shot in hell of performing her action.
I need two estimates: the contact area of her hands (strength is measured in force over area, so I need the area) and her strength compared to normal clay. Preferably in metric units.
Ooh, physics!
although if you can find a way to relate that to compressive strength, more power to ya!
Well...
The average human body has a volume around 70 liters, which is a thousand cubic centimeters, which is sadly not a cubic meter. However, 70 L=0.07 m
3.
According to
this, a whole cubic meter of clay (wet or dry) weighs well under a single ton. 0.07 ,
3 would be around 120 kilograms. Several tons would be around 7,000 kg, or nearly 60 times what she should weigh.
Conclusion: Either Neferis is a lot bigger than anyone else in the group, or she is not made of anything resembling normal clay. (And, indeed, much denser than any mundane substance. With "mundane" substances including things like "solid hydrogen".)
And while I'm thinking about it...the bottom of my feet, rather large ones, probably have a surface area around (estimating) 250 square centimeters, give or take maybe 20%? Assuming Neferis has feet around that size, she would be balancing several tons on 250 square centimeters, for a pressure of 14 kilograms per square centimeter, or...Google doesn't know how to change pressures, apparently.
Annie and Wheatley could work rather well. Assuming of course they stop bothering ressembling human beings (since having consolidated distortions perfectly repiclate a human body requires so much power that it's practically impossible) and temporarily deconsolidate their bodies into high power tears in reality that destroy everything inside them short of souls.
...Let's call that "Plan F".
She weighs a couple metric tons, after all...
The quoted figure was "several".
