extended rune sheet? He's getting more after space and time? Expect corban to scale similarly. As for the burns, they aren't simply burning his robe, they will burn through them to the flesh underneath, dealing some second-degree burns. The edits will be made by the end of the day hopefully.

Edit: Crystal is the suffusion of Ishtalles 'soul' or consciousness and her physicality mixed with Corban's. Organs are in the same place(even has the appropriate no-no parts!) they would be on Corban, but Ishtalle is 'coating' the flesh(as well as the disjunction).

I feel second degree burns is a perfect compromise for damage. Certainly not damning, but also something noticeable. Anything beyond would be highly debilitating, and considering the specifics revolving around my various defenses and the damage incurred from my railgun attack, is fair insofar as I am concerned.

All systems are good, if I am not being too liberal in saying so. All systems that are not perfect, which are all of them, come with potential abuses, workarounds, and cheaters who will do whatever it takes to win and steal a claim to valor. In my 16 years doing this, I've become more transient to titles, tiers, and semantics. I just go with the flow.

Corban was knocked several meters by the explosion regardless since its in my post. As for the barriers, I would say he isn't 'deflecting' the blast. He repositioned it away from vitals. Your second theory is the one im willing to go with (barriers summoned, but not at maximum power). I'm willing to accept some second degree burns(third causes incredibly extensive damage, not a 'mild impediment', unless we'd agree the surface area of them was relatively small), suffering a few holes in his robes where the damage was dealt.

Corban is not very good at self-healing. The typical 'heal' spells fall under the conjuration class, which he isn't very good in. However he has other methods of damage control and mitigation, just not outright healing.

I never said you did. I in fact said you didn't. That's why from the beginning I assumed your gravity part of the beam was active, but you said in pm's it still wasn't active. Regardless, the physics of my attack would lessen the gravitational force by extension as well. I covered all of my bases. This is another reason why it wouldn't be a death blow.

I already explained why your gravity argument doesn't hold up quite a few posts ago. Lightning is just massive heat and charged particles, two primary elements of your beam. It states it has decent defense to energy across the board, just with specific effectiveness against lightning and fire. That would apply to your energy beam. As for the aerogel, I still feel I could. Even if it didn't activate immediately, it could still be summoned after the initial collision to radiate away some more of the energy that passes through. It also punched holes through my barrier as a a show of sportsmanship. Even if it can punch a hole through it doesn't mean it retains all of the energy it had prior. Like I said it would have lost a good portion of its energy after all of that. I'm willing to make more concessions and just take some damage as Melon has suggested, but not if you will continue to argue it should be damning despite a third party agreeing that it isn't.

@MelonheadI'm satisfied with that answer. I just didn't see Dazsos' action as a typical 'prep'. It was never mentioned until just a few posts ago. So I was asking if he can do that, why not me? I don't intend to actually argue that point.

Your attack does not wholly supercede mine. It overpowers it, but it is also losing energy in the process. It is also still being split, and would therefore be off-target. The diamond is also insulated against energy. Says so right on the sheet. It still has to punch through graphene armor.

I highly doubt this attack would spell doom for Corban. Conveniently overlooking every factor that doesn't work in your favor. I've seen this before, somewhere....

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

I would not say I've come undone at all! If were honestly labeling a prep as simply 'mentioning something in one post and then bringing it up in another' then would my diamond barrier not too be prepped? I'm not trying to grasp at straws but this is a serious question. Dazsos' prep is nothing but 'writing it down' and then letting it off. It just seems convenient that this would constitute a prep and mine wouldn't. I will take some damage if necessary. Corban lost a testicle before, so this wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to him. But id like to hear a sensible answer to my question first.

Edit: Dazsos, how many times have I expounded on his evocation ability now? I sent you the entire list of evocation spells from d&d. I fail to see how that is still even being brought up.

Melon, expounding upon earlier, did Dazsos not do the exact same thing to my railgun? I had a prepped attack moving probably faster than this one, and he took little more than 'mild bruising'. I hope you'd understand why I'm so hesitant to roll over and adhere to these rules that only seem to apply when they inconvenience him. I feel I put more than enough thought into my defense, after having let so much slide, to facilitate some give and take of my own.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

I could agreed and that's why my defense was punched through. The beam wasn't totally stopped and obfuscated like it was the first time. It seems his problem is that I haven't rolled over and died, it seems to me.
