Cool.. A Unison Raid that took so much power that it's almost put two of my characters out of the competition, and not a single opponent takes so much as a scratch. I get that some characters aren't allowed to be hurt, but come on.

Caits, I know it must be inconvenient to take into account how my character's magic works, but in the anime Nullification Magic can shut down even the attacks of Gildarts. Mundane Spark affects the magic signature of an individual. If it touched Penny's ethernano, it would shut down all of her magic for about a minute. What is this distinction you've drawn between fire magic and phoenix magic? Ignoring the fact that Mundane Spark nullifies all magic, they're not different. Immediately after her 'fire magic' dies out, she uses a big fire spell. Getting nullified wouldn't even be a problem since she spends the next minute having a touching moment with Merlina anyway.

Silicates like obsidian, which I'll go ahead and say the Tectonic Blades were made of, have a melting point of 1200 degrees Celsius, or 2192 degrees Fahrenheit. That's a little more than 1/6 the surface of the sun. That kind of heat is far more destructive and lethal than the Blades would be.

Regardless, what you wrote is dissonant to what Hatake wrote. Since you're GM, I assume your chain of events overwrites his.

A super easy solution would be to pull away from Nolan's attempt to help, take the Spark, fizzle out, and fall to talk to Merlina. However, given how well my suggestions in the past have gone, I won't hold my breath.

I can make it so that Nolan took a blow from one the blades. I wouldn't mind doing that.

That would make me feel a little bit better about what would otherwise be a near-complete waste of time and IC resources.

To be fair, Dragon Fang was already scrambling to get inside XD

In your earlier post, the last mention of the ascent up was when Jake made the platform to use as an elevator. You didn't even say that the trio hopped on. There was no indication of where exactly they were in the ascent, but given that the tower was floating quite a way up (hundred feet or more), it wasn't exactly a hop, skip, and jump away.

I took one ;____;

You posted after I made my complaint, silly, so of course you did. Still, I can always count on you to afford my actions some respect, and I thank you for it.

We're not out of the woods yet. And I thought the blades were acting as an arena barrier? Not an active threat but more of a boundary threat.

I also never gave any indication of how fast they were ascending either. That said, I don't feel that every character taking a hit is necessary RIGHT then. Unless these blades were incredibly and tightly packed to begin with, a large scale attack like that just isn't realistically guaranteed to hit something regardless. I am not saying you should automatically miss, not even coming close to it by any means, I am saying that misses should be expected and that in many cases, perhaps other writers, as I did with Dragon Fang and intend to do with Damian, though there is more time for bad things to happen as you didn't specify whether or not they'd stopped rising yet, to trade the danger of a Unison Raid for facing the remainder member of the guild.

I must also raise a minor issue with your wording in the last part of the post. You imply no one else pays you heed or mind, which I know is not what you intended when you said it, but phrasing is important. There are a lot of less kindly inclined people on this forum when they see things like that, I just happen to not be one of them.

And now onto the conclusion of this: Different writers are going to handle things different ways. Very rarely will we get the reactions we want. Hell, I imagine things would have been about the same had Damian used a similar spell if things were progressing a different way than they were. The best we can do is wait and see what their ultimate reaction is.

I apologize for if I have addressed things incorrectly, and feel free to inform me if there is a point I make that you disagree with. I also apologize if it seems like I was ignoring the attack. That was not meant to be the case.

@Zarkun My apologies for any potential malefic implications with my wording. You can be sure that wasn't my intention; I was merely stating that Oblivion is particularly nice to me. What you're saying makes sense to me. Just as you weren't implying that my stuff needed to miss, however, I was not implying that everything needed to hit; just that a little give and take would make for a more fair and thus interesting fight. I also didn't get the impression that you were ignoring me. In your case specifically, I was just surprised at how quickly your characters reached the top.

No, they were meant completely as an active threat.

So the both of you know, my Unison Raid wasn't a very complicated attack. It's pretty much 'suddenly, big hot spikes' and that's about it. They will not continue to rise, and nor will they explode, or anything like that. By the next time I post, the Tectonic Blades attack spell is completely over, and they'll be nothing more than hazards should someone happen to fall from the sky. Which may be happening soon, given the number of people converging on the tower.

I can't name the source material, but a wise man once said only a fool is slow in times of battle.

Well I try to be nice to people unless they give me a damn good reason to be a dick. You have given me no reason to be mean.

On another note, R.I.P Zephyr's limbs. Going one by one xD

Guess I'll have to read that again.

@Leslie Hall & @Expolar?

Guys???

(Jeezus Ik Im pestering the hell out of you guys, but can I have some form of notification on how things are going? Rather have a response then simple silence. Plus I've been waiting for quite a bit of time.)

I believe time frames were given. I know it's difficult, but just be patient. They'll get to it. As I recall, Ex said...Sunday?

I know, believe me. Pestering them doesn't make it faster though.

More like wanting an actual seeable response really. An update I suppose.

Sorry for keeping you waiting. Usually I have priorities that take longer than expected and I'm not the best when it comes to estimating a time of when I am done. I could say that I can post on a certain day, but it might not happen. Saying it is kind of like a goal, but as you can see, it doesn't happen for the most part and kinda becomes a false hope. So I don't really know what to say since it feels like I would be saying the same thing by saying another date of when I might post that may or may not happen.

I understand. Sometimes we all have things we need to accomplish, and sometimes we under or over estimate them. I've been through this as well. But if one feels like they won't make it in time, they must tell that to the ones waiting on them. With me, I'm patient to a very good degree, and will be accepting of extensions. However, if I hear nothing, it gets me antsy and such. Regardless though, you are more of a secondary view, for my primary goes to Leslie (with Saya and in my next post after her's the introduction of her Guard), but still very apprichiated if you can still do so.

So in that case...

What day do you sincerely think that a post can come?

Possibly on Tuesday.

And as you mentioned about our characters being a secondary view, that is partially a reason of why I don't have a Grane post up for Dreadlin already. Do I want to see these two talk, yes. But I rather make a post where I'm thinking clearly and have plenty of time to make apost and not worry about something else that could be done outside the RP. That way the post doesn't feel sloppy or written to quickly.

On another note, I haven't seen this many posts appear in the IC since, probably, an arc or two before the Magic Games Arc started.

That's also completely understandable. As much as I want someone to post, a sloppy post will certainly not do well. Hence why I said a "sincerely good time", meaning which day is right for you.

Really? Hmmm...

@ZarkunHow scared of cats is Jack Goran(that's dragon fang's leader right)? Like, moderately uncomfortable or, he can't even be in there presence. Also, I just realized that Ezekiel is the bane of two members of his guild at the moment, since he's a cat magnet.

The example I once used was to say that he's this big powerful Wizard Saint that ran like a scared little girl, sometimes even squealing like one, at the sight of a cat. He interviewed Prince, @SilverFox's cat man, through his office door because the idea of a cat PERSON was more than terrifying to him.

@ZarkunOh this is going to be so much fun, especially given that Cats seem to pop into existence around him.
