If it helps, theres two nubs on two of the keyboard's keys, on the F and J keys on mine. You could simply use that to orient your fingers when typing without looking at the keyboard. Thats what I do anyways.


Shhhhhh you are not supposed to know!

So that's why there are always those two bumps on those keys. I noticed them before, never paid too much mind to them. That's a nice thing to know.

EDIT: @Riffus MaximusHmmm now you are tempting me... GOD DAMNIT YOU, STOP MAKING ME EDIT MY CS! Hahahaha it's alright, I'm kidding. I've always been the kind of guy who likes to have options. While it doesn't bother me to have limited choices, I've always been some sort of a Jack-of-all-trades, or at least someone with lots up his sleeves. A lot of my characters reflect that (if they aren't theme-based anyways).

@Scio Alright, in that case I'll read over the IC in a leisure pace now and catch up with all the interactions so far.

@Riffus Maximus Wasn't meaning to tempt you. Lol

But if you ever decide to go for multiple forms, this is the perfect chance to rename your magic, right?

@January@Scio

Most of what I've been racking my brain so far has revolved around lacking a direct effect on other people (and thus avoiding doing things that would have massive effects on other characters), but that still doesn't prevent the consequences of his powers from being rather impactful. It's also not really a power that seems to correlate much with character growth either, which is a problem.

Hmmm

@Crimmy

If you consider that the first limiter proposed is intimate understanding, that solves all of your potentially OP manifestations. You can't manifest "hydrogen bomb" since you don't know it intimately. Likewise for the magical theory or whatever behind "your powers are gone."

Hell, you wouldn't even be able to manifest "cat" or "car," so it really puts a damper where you need it to.

@Riffus Maximus Not really, just wanted to give you the opportunity to actually name it. o3o

No problem with that, as long as you're happy with it.

@Crimmy Sorry for the hassle, man. If I had to think of some sort of limiter for it, I'd say that he can only produce words and attach them via touch. And the only things that he could affect for now, would be himself and inanimate objects. The larger the object, the longer the statement, or the more complex the command, the more taxing it would be. Sounds good?

Your ability also reminds me of Creation, a quirk from Boku No Hero Academia. Maybe you could take a look at it. It has an interesting condition for it to function.

@King Tai Weight manipulation is fine. As for density manipulation, I'd have to know the limits of what you're going for.


Okay cool. I'll stick with the weight manipulation. I'll make the changes now

Scio: No worries, it's not that big of a hassle for me at all.

Hm, the intimate understanding bit would tie into how language seeks to convey meaning. You can't really convey what something means through your own words if you don't actually understand how it works. It's sorta like ... explaining to reality what you want, isn't it? So he'd also need to be pretty specific on what he wants done, and if he screws that up, it won't work. And I'm fine with limiting his range to just himself and inanimate objects for now.

@Crimmy The range limit is settled, but could you give me examples of commands he could accomplish and specific/more complex ones that would require more thought?

@Scio I assume both Varus and Jasper have means to break that language barrier so everyone can understand what they are saying, correct?

@Riffus Maximus Good thing you noticed, I'll edit that in, but Jasper has already taken measures to address that problem. I kind of mentioned it in the update. I'll probably reveal it after this trial.

"Materialise a coffee cup, made out of glazed ceramic, that can contain 250mL worth of liquid."

"Increase leg strength by a multiplier of 1.5x."

"Give me a pair of wooden chopsticks."

"Set temperature of the water present within this kettle to 100 degrees Celsius."

And then he has the keyword thing (two of them), which he can assign certain commands to, but he has to prepare them beforehand and if he wants to change them up he'll have to go through describing all the commands once again to them. Sort of like hotkeys.

Like:

"Increase strength output of muscles by a multiplier of 5x. Increase durability of knuckles on my right fist by 10x. Manifest low-intensity gold light upon an impact between the knuckles and any object. Keyword: Big Bang Punch."

@Crimmy Sorry, man. If that's what you were going for, I don't think that's possible. With an ability with a semi-limitless scope, I can't really allow it. Most abilities have themes and even they have repurcussions. The amount of options you have with that type of magic is too much even if the side effects would be severe fatigue. Most magic would lead to severe fatigue as well, if overused. I don't like doing this, but I got to say no.

Honestly, I don't mind if it's limited entirely to just self-enhancement, because the power was dreamt up when I wondered if it would possible to weaponise "calling your attacks".

@Crimmy The thing is, I don't think that sort of power translates well with the whole school thing that we're going with. I mean, how would that sort of power progress? If we look at other characters, we have abilities that allow them to persistently release fog, inconsistently produce fire, see traces of magic/emotions, dampening of emotions, and short range teleportation to name a few. They all feel like blank slates but the path of progression that they have appear limited if not completely linear; you can definetely see that they'd progress to something better than what they currently are. But with an ability to make your statements into reality as a base, it would be too powerful. Even if we limit it self-enhancement, what would be the limit to that? An explosive kick? Turning his arm into that of a giant's? Coating his body in a layer of metal? Those are probably exaggerated examples, but are all still viable if phrased properly enough. Sorry, dude. Just feels a bit OP to me.

@King Tai The edit in his history is good. As for the ability, just remember that this is just weight manipulation, nothing else. This can get really tricky.

I think a ton is too heavy. Given his frame and built, I'm assuming he'd be around 50 something kilograms at most. Thrice his normal weight seems pretty heavy to me; he'll just train to increase his limit. I don't mind him being able to change his weight to 0 kg, but just be aware that going to the extremes of weight may have repercussions. Is this the final description you'll be giving your ability? I'll be basing my posts involving your character on how you describe his ability and what he can do with it.

Hmm...I don't mind lowering his maximum weight to it being maybe twice, if you don't mind it being twice the amount he is. Like you said, he can train to be able to increase his limit. and what kind of repercussions were you thinking involving the weight extremes? I can make the needed changes in describing his ability.
