Battle time. Xenoblade, activate. Monado Art: Swift!

Slice them down with grace, and once surrounded, trigger Monado Art: Roar/Thunder!{To knock them all down.}

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You use your 疾Monado Art-Swift ability to increase your speed, then use the Xenoblade on the... Things. Each of the "things" are now in two distinct pieces and do not end up getting immediately surrounded.

Although there is a short delay from the time you cut them, they appear to still be capable of moving, and they start moving towards you again. They didn't need internal organs in order to move, and it seems that bisection wasn't a deal breaker either.

Its difficult to use several Monado Arts in rapid succession... But they appear to already be sufficiently knocked down, either crawling towards you with their hands, or trying to stand back up without sufficient leverage to do so...

[TricMagic]

Vampires maybe?

Monaco Art: Machine.

Stake Enchanted- Stab through them with efficiency.

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You use your 機Monado Art-Machine ability to increase the cutting power of the Wooden Stake, then use it to stab. A few stabs later you are fairly certain that these are not vampires; their body seems to be hollow everywhere, no blood, guts or organs aside from skin at all! The fact that they can move at all is strange in and of itself. Aside from educational purposes, stabbing seems like it is far less effective than slashing attacks.

One of the things grabs your leg with one of its hands. It seems to be pretty weak, but it would not be ideal to let yourself get swarmed.

[TricMagic]

Yeah, no. Monado Roar/Thunder!

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You use your 轟Monado Art-Roar/Thunder ability, though with limited success. Most of the enemies are already not standing on their feet, and the legless ones quickly regain their composure. How are you going to follow this one up?

[TricMagic]

That was mostly to get them away, off, and off balance.

World Law, Ether Shift- Fire.
World Order- Ether of Thyself.

I'm shifting the Neutral Ether of the Xenoblade to Fire.

斬Monado Art-Slash/Cut/Slice

Spin and slash along the ground. Burn them to finely cut ash.

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You rapidly expend the ether in the area to set your Xenoblade alight using your world order ability, then use your 斬Monado Art-Slash/Cut/Slice ability to extend your blade and slash at the enemies in a circle around you.

These things do not appear to be combustable, but they were possible to burn. As far as you can tell, that last attack was sufficient to deal with them, as well as all of the trees and bushes in the immediate vicinity. The plants prove to be much more flammable, though the snow on the ground prevents it from spreading too wildly. Thick smoke rises into the air...

[TricMagic]

World Law: Ether Shift- Water.
Monado Art: Roar/Thunder.

Send a blastwave up and out made up of water.


{Note, my blade is Ether. And not much of an exhaustible one}

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You attempt to use your World Law ability to change the element of your Xenoblade to water to use a large scale water ability using your 轟Monado Art-Roar/Thunder ability... But you find that there is simply not enough ether left in the area to do this! You have only been using World Order here for a short time, and you depleted what little ether you spread with your last fire attack.

You cause another shockwave, but this does little to stop the flames.

Tip: All "abilities" that are not listed in your character sheet fall will typically fall under the "World Order" ability. This means that you need ether in the environment for it to function. For example, the Xenoblade ability does not have any elemental information in the ability description, and thus cannot use elemental attacks such as Fire and Water without the aid of a different ability (In this case, either a Monado Art or World Order). This world trends towards the exact wording of your character sheet.

[TricMagic]

{k}

World Order: Build up the Ether... Spread it as a thick mist to dampen the flames.

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You use your world order ability to create more ether, and convert it into mist using the same ability. Its not an efficient use of this ability, but it is a feasible one. Its only having a noticeable impact on the flames that are nearest to you however...

The fire is only barely spreading outwards due to the moderate snow on the ground. You will eventually put out the flames that don't run out of fuel if you continue, but it will take several minutes of this. You can do that, or perhaps you can try to use your powers in a different way?

[TricMagic]

Infuse the Snow with Ether of Thyself, so it contains Ice Ether.

{Are their any other abilities I can use to put them out?}

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You spend a moment to use your World Order ability to add ether to the snow. Doing this on its own is only marginally effective without some way to follow up.

You also consider the other abilities you have and how they could be used to help put out the fire. You know your own abilities so this isn't hard.

You could use 読Ether Prediction-Reading to test various tactics, though it requires at least a little bit of ether to function things that aren't a huge danger to you.

You can also use a Monado Art at the same time as World Order. The most obvious examples are...

破Monado Art-Break/Destroy would let you sacrifice some matter in a point blank area of effect around you and convert it into ether that you can use to put out fires in other locations with your other abilities.

鎧Monado Art-Armor could be used on a specific tree to prevent the fires from being able to burn it.

喰Monado Art-Eat/Devour could take the ether out of the snow, then release it as an explosion.

[TricMagic]

Right.. Add Ether of Thyself to the flames.

喰Monado Art-Eat/Devour the flames. Then release the added energy as neutral ether.{if needed}
