True~ It also doesn't make nanocancers~

[kj1225]

Your right. It's even worse.

[~Neri]

Exactly! Instead of The Melding Plague that techies'll get, Akia can give peoples Contagious Randomly Flailing Pseudopod Syndrome~

[kj1225]

The joke in mission two is going to be much funnier if you guys keep up to date on upcoming Wii U games.

[MrVoid]

Seriously though, what is happening with group one?

[kj1225]

They're about to go manually set off C4 after the people wanted double the price.

[MrVoid]

Can I just magic the C4 to go off?

[kj1225]

No. It is antimagic C4.

[MrVoid]

Umm... okay, sure lets go with that.

not like I couldn't magic up a finger to push the button for me or anything.

[Lyeos]

Oh, yeah. This was a thing. That I still can't participate in.

And, yeah. That last part always makes me giggle when anti-magic fields come up. S'totally not like, in settings without specific spells, someone could just fling a boulder in your direction at high velocity from a relatively distant location, thus rendering your field pointless.
Nope.
Not at all.

[Shadestyle]

No. It is antimagic C4.

So it IS going to explode instantly, and kill them?

Caused by magic. It stops when it touches it.

...

Physics does not work that way, Kj. The rock isn't moving due to magic when it touches the field. It's moving due to the momentum/velocity from the spell. The difference between the two is huge.

[Lyeos]

Why, though? What's to stop them from ending the magic just before the field and letting the boulder go forwards with the speed it's already at? What does it being caused by magic have to do with anything? The boulder is still moving, and I don't really see why removing the cause of that movement would stop it. Sure, it might slow down, but that's going to be the same as if you strapped a rocket to the back of it and then the rocket ran out of juice. It's gonna start to slow down, but it's still gonna keep moving.

It just seems silly to me.
I mean, I totally get how it would make a game unfair.
But it's still silly.

Yeah, anti-magic fields, when known about are pretty easy to bypass.
But if you don't realize what's going on...

I have to go with USEC on this one, as long as the boulder isn't itself magical, and only the method it was thrown is, then a rock's a rock's a rock.
and it'll rock your world.
like a rock.
because rocks rock.
...
rock.
