Hint taken, shutting up now.

Thank you, it was just a warning. Debating is good to a point but I don't want it to become a shouting match is all.

Again, the master psychomancer instantly disables the opponent with a thought, thus winning by default. That master geomancer doesn't look so tough when you can slice his neck while he sleeps huh?

A lot of people aren't threatening when they're asleep. The same could be said when their feet is covered in ice. And if a Geomancer gets the initiative, the Psychomancer would have to decide to either try to counter with a spell, or get bashed in the head by a rock. Psychomancer magic isn't Instant, and they don't have any means to protect themselves once an attack has already begun, magically. What Psychomancer has to do to defeat an opponent requires focus, planning, needing to find the weakness of the enemy, but everyone else have a much more direct means getting the job done. Psychomancy is not a "Simple" class to master, more so if you plan to have any combat applications. It might be killer in a court meeting, but once swords have been drawn you'd find that it is difficult to try to manipulate someone's mind when you have to worry about not getting skewered for your troubles.

I suppose it never occurred to you to dodge it then? Or fact Psychomancer can create illusions to fool their enemies into attacking thin air? Not to mention each blood has it's negatives and positive traits. Vitamancy can hurt you with a look, but unless that PC has flesh, muscle, or skin, then it won't have an effect. Not to mention you blind them, a possibly with Psychomancy, then that ability IC negated completely. You're also forgetting there's metals that negate magical effects like Mythril and Mage Bane, being mage is pointless at stage. Not to mention you're only mentioning master abilities without considering the fact Psychomancy, if you're being fair, is also mastered. As Free mentioned and I have, we're working on a balance so try not to let this debate escalate guys.

IF you are tricking only the visual sensory, A geoamancer (because og magic logic) could be "intune" with the ground and feel through other sensories where the physical person.

And how are you going to dodge a lightning bolt perhaps? And hwo are you going to dodge or focus when your face spontaneously explodes in a firey blaze?

And as you say. MAgic negating metal: WEAR A HELMET OF MAGEBANE!!!

Tin Foil hat works wonders for the paranoid.

I think one of my earlier questions got buried. Do you think it would be alright if, in addition to the mental warding class that is being taught by another instructor, that another class be available that is taught by Satori? That way, the students who are not quite as bitter about the whole ordeal can have the opportunity to learn from the best?

The problem: Magebane is rare, expensive, and making a helmet cover your head would be an unwieldy annoyance and finally, magebane is weak against the physical. So that noggin-cage won't protect you from a heavy stick. And given the variety of Psychomancers (Giant motherfuggin dragon man) getting smacked is a real possibility.

Oh, sorry about that.

Depends how much magebane is needed. Hell you probably jist need some the size fo a penny and wrap it around your head with a cheap leather thong.

And again, IT'S MAGIC!!! It don't work like the real world. For all we know, a person's mind can be like a maze and you need time and energy to navigate it, not to mention fabricating a whole new purpose and altering people's intentions.

Well, the intent was to have Satori teach both, but even if she can't teach the warding class, assuming she doesn't get killed or otherwise removed she's still going to teach Psychomancy.

Like I said, Tin Foil Hat. Won't protect you directly, but it'll let you slip under their radar. It'll even help the new students control their powers. Yeah, Satori is totally going to give them all tinfoil and allowing them to make their own little hats.

[EliteCommander]

I think it might be wise to defer to Fallen's suggestion of stopping the discussion.

That's what Khan was thinking Elite and I thought you caught that. >_>

Well, if she doesn't teach the warding class, Ssarak could still go to her and request private lessons, right?

*hugs Elite* Thank you for the help...and Free's already stopped so Witch, please?

Ah, well...when I read that, I didn't think I had a lot of time, so I was rushing to get through everything.

Khan is going have a mastered student of Satori, I assume there's likely one or two qualified, to teach the classes though he can't force the Students to take them sadly.

DO IT. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

[WitchChild]

Anyways, Haklo is now carefully depriving the personal that just had a mental breakdown from anything sharp.

[EliteCommander]

Now, I just need to figure out if I should post now, or wait until after the next demonstration. Leith already stepped out of the room, so Ssarak would no longer go over to him. If he saw Aruna, he would probably be concerned, but I don't know if Toxic is planning to do anything or not.

Bitch, Imma get a tinfoil hat!
