The possible revision basically revolves around lightning feats and spells, specially the one Grindelwald casts against Newt in the first movie. Is it possible to calc Newt's reaction speed out of this?

IIRC the Lightning Feats calc instructions has some criteria to determine whether we can consider something as real lightning or not, and Grindelwald meets some of them quite comfortably. His spell causes Newt's muscles to visibly contract upon being affected, and also flows though conducting material - the railway, in this case.

Grindelwald was also displayed creating natual cloud-to-ground lightning in the second movie, so from that we should be able to scale this spell to real lightning without much issue.

Grindelwald's also above 8-C and electricity above that would be assumed to be lightning speed

Hey, that's nice too. I normally see reacting to lightning falling around MHS reaction/combat speed but I've seen it vary, so I'm not that sure how to tackle this.

I suppose it would be trying to take the distance Newt swung his wand there

although using the Reactions page for the seconds of reaction time would probably get a higher value since wand movement isn't really that big

I'm actually kinda bad at math and this kind of calculations, so I'd appreciate it if you could do it, and maybe even teach me eventually (how do you guys even do the whole pixel scalling magic thing?).

I could make a calculation request if you're currently too busy though, no problem.

Sorry I got COVID and just kinda forgot about this after it, has it been calculated yet or should I still do it?
