How do clouds and storms even work?

[MidnightDawn1]

Like How does Creating a Cloud or storm grant City Level ap?

You can't attack someone with a cloud lmao.

Because building and moving stuff requires energy, and if there is evidence that it scales to your attacks or physical strikes, then the same energy is on them.

Many clouds are the size of several city blocks, making them have a lot of mass, it is just too disperse to weight them down, but if you move all of it at once you are still moving a fuckton of mass, aka kinetic energy.

Making on requires thermal energy and stuff.

You thought.

Anyway, because it takes energy, especially if you move the clouds.
And you'd be surprised how much energy a storm uses, that lightning and wind doesn't come from nowhere after all.

But it isn't always city, it could be less, could be higher. Depends on the types of clouds, how much, and so on, even the stability of them in some cases or even the temperature.

Cloud Calculations

Due to being virtually always present clouds are one of the most common objects affected by the attacks or powers of characters. As such how to calculate feats involving the creation, destruction or movement of clouds is of common interest. The first step necessary for any cloud calculation is...

Storm Calculations

C.A.P.E is an indicator of atmospheric instability and hence associated with storms and their strength. In order to calculate the energy to create a storm we approximate the C.A.P.E. using some simple indicators and from that the necessary energy. C.A.P.E should be used if clouds are created...

I was gonna bring up that if you concentrated a cloud on someone you could crush them, or use it as a melee weapon, but weather report is better

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

some characters are storms or air in the literal sense of the word

We use CAPE to properly calculation storm feats in most cases, but there does need to either be certain methods and/or details on universal energy systems to scale to physical stats.
