yeah, but...how can it not actually kill a human, who is actually absolutely screwed if his body temperature is even just slightly risen (+6°C is guaranteed death), while most machines still work entirely reliable (+20°C is shrugged off like it's nothing) under increased heat but are fucked over?
Magic. Also because it would be so broken. Against a machine, a machine can be repaired. A human? Good luck. True resurrection is impossible, period, in this universe.
Precisely my thinking.

But if Lily thinks someone isn't dead, aren't they not dead?

I guess. But I wonder wether there wouldn't be something more fitting that can take out machines easily but only slightly bother humans than an ability that would do the exact opposite.

Nope, doesn't work like that. Even the Gods can't bring someone back. Ashley and Cyrielle are technically undead, not truly resurrected.

If someone dies, that's it. Undeath doesn't count as resurrection.

Eh, less of a zombie than Cyrielle. Think of a shapeshifter that just goes back to the void everytime their physical form 'dies'

Well, human Ashley is dead.
...
She just became a Voidwalker, which can basically alter what they look like. And a bunch of other shizz.

yeah, it's the single most forgotten thing ever


I will just pretend that it is actually set to auto-whitelist everyone who approaches and actually has to be set to block specific targets whenever the player who was in controle of it remembers that it should block some magic. Whatever PCs is in charge of it must be kinda neglient, constantly slapping itself on the forehead about forgetting about it

I would just like to point out that yellow dragons are supposed to be able to fly, which means there would be landing sites near their lairs. An overfly of the area encompassed by the eyewitness reports should narrow down possible locations, and would therefore make it quicker

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

And Yes satellites that can pin point magic are a thing.
Accounted for.

unless the eye-witness reports are very accurate, it might take weeks of tracking through the jungle to find anything. waiting for the satelites is a lot more convenient, and likely faster too
Dependent on the satellites being numerous and in convenient orbits (unlikely) and on the yellow dragons having very, very small ranges and/or ignoring things that aren't within a hundred feet (also unlikely).

yeah, but...how can it not actually kill a human, who is actually absolutely screwed if his body temperature is even just slightly risen (+6°C is guaranteed death), while most machines still work entirely reliable (+20°C is shrugged off like it's nothing) under increased heat but are fucked over?
Biological organisms have superior homeostatic capabilities.

But if Lily thinks someone isn't dead, aren't they not dead?
Their body would be moving, and there might be something like what Lily thought the person was like controlling it, but...not really.
And even Lily isn't dumb enough to not recognize a (typical) corpse.

Do condors need landing sites?

((Well does the field work against powers from divine sources?))
It works against anything save greater gods, Wall Street, and the conventional laws of physics. I'm not sure if even quantum physics apply.

Wait, why hasn't anyone mentioned Sen's Magic books to Lunette? That would bring all kinds of shenanigans.

((Well, the way it works here is, it would still raise her temperature, but MIND would simply be to not get some form of damage, because she can resist heat, but it's still there. I'm just using realistic effects.))
Makes sense. No matter what our willpower, having the air heated around you (or in you) is going to give you a bad time.
Yeah except previous precedent indicates that it still protects. Otherwise, Kyle could have previously exploded people's lungs with air magic seeing as willpwoer shouldn't be able to stop that either.

But if Lily thinks someone isn't dead, aren't they not dead?
Nope, doesn't work like that. Even the Gods can't bring someone back. Ashley and Cyrielle are technically undead, not truly resurrected.
'Slightly biomechanical corpse-puppet' is probably a better term for the latter by now. Either way, works well for shipping prevention seeing as necrophilic subtext tends to halt it.

The former is more akin to a ghost except one with an adjustable physical form.

Aria's form, the one time she appeared was probably either the afterlife's equivalent of using Skype or a ghost.

Silica's body amounts to a UAV with the operator already in the afterlife.

Look, Elf agreed it would be alright. So that's good enough for me.
