As in, they attempted to deceive someone with severe anger issues and are now facing the consequences of their actions.
God of War characters resist magic for the following reason:
TL;DR: Any mortals/non-gods need their resistance to magic removed, as this was never accepted and applied without any evidence or permission from moderators.
God of War characters resist magic for the following reason:
There are no citations on the individual pages themselves, so let's do a bit of digging. The explanation page is similarly vague as to the source of this claim:Divine Magic (Gods and magic users resist the innate properties of their magics)
This is the only mention the explanation page makes of a broad resistance to magic. This isn't entirely useless, however, as it only says "gods" and does not mention magic users in general. Still, this claim had to come from somewhere, so let's look at the original upgrade thread (and the thread that actually applied these changes). These are the reasons given for the gods possessing resistance to magic:Magic: Gods are immune to the innate properties of their magics. This applies across all pantheons and generations.
- Poseidon can shoot lightning out of his hands without ill effect.
- Zeus and Hades can survive having their own magic shot back at them.
- Thor is unaffected by his own lightning, but is consumed by it upon his death.
- Kratos adapts to and resists Atlas' magic.
Gods should resist their own innate magic's base properties.
Freya gets Resistance to Bifrost Magic, as all gods (Irrespective of their pantheons) are able to resist their own innate basic magics
She would also get resistance to Vanir Magic due to again, Gods resisting their innate base magics and the Vanir themselves not being inundated by their own magics toying with time for fun.
All Gods should get resistance to Divine Magics/Runic Magics
Gna should get resistance to the following:
- Bifrost Magic: Since Gods are able to resist their own innate base magics and because she can take hits from Dodher’s Glaive (Chakram Bifrosts)
- Seidr Magic: As she can withstand hits from the Hilt of Dainsleif
- Vanir Magic: As she can withstand her own electric powers being reflected back at her by Kratos, and because Gods are able to resist their own innate base magics
So GoW supporters know this ability only applies to gods. The threads only gave evidence that this applied to gods. Moderators evaluated and approved these resistances under the impression that they only applied to gods. Despite this, GoW supporters applied this change to all magic users, including those who aren't gods, even though that was never evaluated by anyone. If you wanna play devil's advocate and say maybe the changes came from a different thread, then you'd also have to explain why the thread linked in the change log is the one that never so much as mentions mortals. I'm gonna sound like a broken record at this point, but genuinely how did they keep getting away with shit like this??Resistance to their own innate magic powers: The Gods are visibly unharmed by using their own powers or having it be turned against them with the Golden Fleece, as was determined in this CRT. This actually applies to all Gods, irrespective of their Pantheon (This wouldn't apply to any powers that is unique solely to themselves)
TL;DR: Any mortals/non-gods need their resistance to magic removed, as this was never accepted and applied without any evidence or permission from moderators.
