    It means he knows all the spell list of Darkness, Destruction, and Illusion up to level 100. Note that, because of gnosis rules, he cannot cast spells of level 92 and above of these three paths. I unfortuantely don't possess scans to the Chaos and Time paths, so if you'll want to skimmer through...

    Anima beyond fantasy revisions part 1: Gnosis 40 and the wake

    The anchors, like described in the game, were only the consequences of the disaster orchestrated by Romeo, and it was what would allow Baal to manifest in Gaïa during that instance. Note that isn't like the possibilities for Baal to influence the real world are zero; it can still influence...

    Well, for the record, Baal had done nothing since it was sealed. You can skim through the books and his name will only be mentioned when refering the third Secret War, but not in any other occasion. During GoM, he had to be stopped because of Romeo's screwup, whom only goal for entering in the...

    Anima beyond fantasy revisions part 1: Gnosis 40 and the wake

    I meant as in now, it cannot influence the world, not after the events of the game nor before them (barring the third Secret War). Really, all this misunderstanding came from taking Romeo's speech as true. Baal hadn't the chance to make any meaningful change in Gaïa since the third Secrete War...

    The ritual performed by Lady must had enacted the gradual awakening of Baal to the point he almost broke free, that much is clear. However, prior to the events, and after all the trip to the Arcane is done, Baal's influence over Gaïa had been, and it is, minimal (there's an ongoing relationship...

    It's not the nature of the Arcane what is being brought into question. Romeo was not lying per se about that part, but that doesn't make what he said truth: if you're familiarized with the setting, you could notice there's a bunch of pressuring stuff happening since the Emperor was assassinated...

    Romeo's true intentions are revealed here starting minute 12:40 Yes, he was dishonest, manipulative, and stupid, Nameless and Unknown even brought that up that once in a while during the DLC.

    Anima beyond fantasy revisions part 1: Gnosis 40 and the wake

    The ability specifies he absorbs powers (from both monsters and artifacts) and ki techniques. Power is a completely different category rom Magic and the likes; likewise, combat abilities and attributes neither count. That is what I'm trying to convey. There's a misunderstanding. You wrote type...

    Anima beyond fantasy revisions part 1: Gnosis 40 and the wake

    Learning spells require memories chants and gestures, even if the caster is not forced to execute them; they aren't considered powers per se. It's evident that Ergo doesn't absorb the knowledge of those he destroys. That's the issue: it doesn't need to be negated because immortality type 7...

    Baal has chaos magic, yes, and he also tried to warp reality into his personal hell. But the way you worded it above sounded like you suggested he was altering reality during the events of the game, which is not truth. He is seal and for the time being, his capability to influence the real world...

    Although the Arcane was reshaped based on Baal's memories, he is not entirely responsible of its creation. The Arcane is a manifestation of Baal's seals, and is what prevents it from materializing in the real world. Would consider multi-location (thus, nigh-omnipresence is out of the equation)...

    This is not how LS works. This is also not enough proof for Immeasurable. As a explanaroty remark, mere having Zen doesn't guarantee you to reach Zen difficulty, which is what the text refer to. I.e, one needs to have a final result of 440 to be considered reaching Zen. And btw, the text might...

    Moving on. This is Avatar Creation. If any, this would be Power Negation. Note that this may be considered a limitation for the one who created the avatar and not necessary an ability for who destroyed it. Partially true, but saying they are completely immune is an stretch. For instance, A...

    Going by authors statements, the Pillars being a threat to the 14 is an impossibility. Nonetheless, that would require for me to scroll through extra-official information that may or not be available. In any case, as the weapon's current state, it couldn't not harm, no mind destroy, any of the...

    Light and Darkness as form of controlling luminosity? not standard considering that is a physical measure. Now, these forms of manipulation are often associated with other kinds of hax which can be layered.

    Yeah, I saw Highway to Hell not like a Stand that transfer damage per se but rather one that mimicry the way its user is inflicting self-harm, Costello using a second nose to avoid suffocation is proof of that (otherwise, it would had try to choke the girl independent of the amount of noses)...

    What ability is this?

    Well, the flame shines with green before blowing out, so perhaps he is responsible of that as well. I would call it a form of detection instead of precognition tho.
  21. Antoniofer

    What ability is this?

    So it is Guiding Light's power to relight the candle, but is he the same responsible of blowing the fire off? The ghost could just extinguish the candle and then the flame is reignited by the Gliding Light, no precognition involved.
  22. Antoniofer

    What ability is this?

    Can you confirm is the candle's fire effect to extinguished itself and relight afterward and not an effect that can be attributed to the ghost (even if extinguishing the fire is only temporary)?

    This is an exaggerated interpretation of the meaning of "slow motion"; no english dictionary define the term like that.
  24. Antoniofer

    Ishura Discussion Thread

    That "slow motion" is not synom of "as fast as a snail"; rather, it means slower than regular speed.

    Those threads would be wrong then. A modern, firearm projectile could have its speed dropped to a crossbow's bolt and still would be considered slowed down.

    Dakai's calc do not work: its too vague. The comparing to a snail's speed if for when speeding objects appear frozen in time, no when slowed down.

    basically resisting explison manip is not a kind of conventional hax resistance, as explosions, as a mixture of overpressure and heat, are a form of AP. Sure, it can be resisted, but it does not have layers.

    Note that most magic through fiction is defined as some force used to bend the laws of reality to obtain a desired effect. We cannot stretch and say that every time magic is used is altering rules and reality in a great scale when almost always the spellcasting limit to perform mundane stuff...

    Since no new meaniful information has been brought up, I guess I'll keep my previous vote on the queen.

    Hydra (D&D) vs Hydra Queen [0-7-0]

    Hydra Queen have one main head that is surrounded by other 7 minor ones; however, its lore also says that it can have between 7 and 8 secondary heads. The Queen Hydra's sheet grants her 7 secondary heads, but I guess OP can choose to give her 8 secondary heads if he wants to.

    It is caused by Omega's Aura of Combat, and it is not much, being a mere -10 to all actions (not even enough to decrease attribute control, movement value and carrying capability). In general, Aura of Combat is not a very good ability, is mostly to affect masses of fodders, hardly useful...

    Men, this most be one of the Anima profiles that have not been updated since its creation, it left much to be desired.

    I feel like poisons (or similar health-related hax) should be treated different than supernatural hax. Potency of poisons have their are form of measure in real life (LD50) and effects vary depending of the form of administration and how much substance was injected. For instance, what poison in...
