Kingdom Hearts: Keyblade = Magic Resistance?

[Nehz_XZX]

Why does the Keyblade grant Resistance against Magic? Sora's page say that it holds magical spells at bay but doesn't really elaborate on it. The page for the Keyblade itself says that it protects against Magic-based Time Stop.

 

[Bobsican]

Yeah, it's regarding time stop magic in particular, IIRC.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Then that should be clarified. Resistance against Magic should be removed and the bracket for Resistance against Time Stop should clarify that the Keyblade grants additional protection against Magic-based Time Stop.

 

[Bobsican]

I still don't remember well the details, however, so I would ask for some input from other supporters on the verse.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

I think I should wait with that until some of the other threads are concluded.

 

[Bobsican]

TBH I agree, there's a ton of discussion right now, so doing everything now would only result in a mess.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Okay, we'll simply wait and continue this another time.

Make sure to use your profile page to track this sort of stuff, considering KH is popular in matches out of it being somewha broken, this thread has to be watched out just in case.

Oh yeah, I should also tell you, there's this "bump" (Bring Up My Post) thing on the wiki, once about 24 hours have passed, you can reply to the thread with something like "Bump" to get it back on activity and remind others about it.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

I'm already tracking it on my profile. I have also already seen these "bumps" even if I didn't know exactly what they mean. Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Bump.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Bump.

I think the general resistance to magic for the Keyblade comes from the fact that the blade can block basically any magical attack without having to use a spell like Reflect. Being able to take on pretty much every single spell the enemies use as well as things like Xehanort's magic beams supports this

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Isn't that more along the lines of Non-Physical Interaction?

 

[Sorvoe551]

Technically no. By this site's definition, magic is "the ability to allow manipulating aspects of reality (or all of them), bypassing the known laws of physics," while NPI is "the power to interact with intangible or non-corporeal beings." The keyword seems to be "beings"

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Okay, would Magic Resistance include the Magic-based Time Stop Resistance?

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Bump.

 

[Bobsican]

Okay, I think it's only limited to time stop magic in particular.

The general Resistance to Magic might still need some discussing. Aside from that every Keyblade Wielder has Resistance against Time Stop Magic through the Keyblade.

 

[Bobsican]

General Magic resistance is rare, in this case it's explicitly stated that it was the time stop magic that it blocked, rather than that it can block any kind of magic whatsoever, which normally falls as a NLF anyways.

Meaning that it would only be a time stop by magic resistance in particular.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Okay.

Should I edit the pages that this would apply to or should I wait for staff input?

 

[Bobsican]

IIRC it's already like that on profiles.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

It isn't. Sora has on his page a general Resistance against Magic with the Keyblade as justification and Kairi has on her page a Resistance against Time Manipulation and Magic without explanation. In addition to that none of the Keyblade Wielders pages specify that the protection is specifically against Magic-based Time-Stop.

 

[Bobsican]

Okay, I guess that could be explained further in certain profiles in that case.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Should I take care of that?

 

[Bobsican]

Feel free to do so.

This is minor enought and shouldn't be controversial as it's already something accepted before even this thread.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Okay.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

Done.

 

[Bobsican]

Thanks, this thread can be left to be closed now.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

You're welcome and yes, this can be closed now.
