Possible Megumin upgrades

[MidnightDawn1]

Hi everyone. I wanted to bring up an old topic but after looking back at it I’m honestly quite confused on what was the issue.

Being abrupt, I want to upgrade Megumin to at least small city level, but I feel she should be mountain level.

“Explosion!!”

A large explosion blossomed over the rocky mountains not too far from Axel.

When the shockwave and dust cloud subsided, only a large crater remained.

It’s pretty straightforward, Megumin explosion destroyed mountains (plural btw). And remember her explosions don’t just destroy they vaporise.

Even using an accepted standard calculation for a mountain tip being - Vaporization: 93024.9579748m^3 * 27050 J/cc = 2.51632511 × 1015 joules or 601.4161352772466671 Kilotons of TNT (Large Town level+)

(https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Dalesean027/Destroying_a_mountains_tip)

Taking the plural use of mountains - bare minimum of 2. Multiplying that gives
1202.83 kilotons of TNT which aligns her with City level AP (6.3x10^6 to 10^8)

And that’s being humble. As there is a small mountain destruction calculation.

Which assumes the vaporisation of a singular mountain resulting in Island Level AP (2.052e19 Joules)

Vaporizing something once doesn't mean that attack will vaporize anything it destroys. It needs to be proven that, in this specific case, the mountains were reduced to vapor (It's probably just Pulverization, as a "dust cloud" is mentioned).

Other than that, I agree that Megumin should be at least Low 7-B or 7-B because of this.

I mean all her explosions leave a dust cloud and anytime it’s portrayed it leaves nothing behind (that’s one of the reasons why it’s joke magic, as you can’t even sell the parts of the monsters you kill) but that effect can be achieved with pulverisation so eh. But my goal is to get her to City level so I’m not too huffed about her not being mountain level.

Thanks for engagement

Also do you think this counts as electricity manip

“D-Don’t do that! Considering Aqua’s poor luck, she might end up getting caught in the blast! And look at Megumin! Her eyes are already shining brighter than ever…!”

Perhaps it is because of her continuous unleashing of high level magic, but Megumin, in addition to her glowing crimson eyes, was also surrounded by a constantly fluctuating halo of electricity.

Yes. Completely useless for combat, but yes.

Wait wait, i'm pretty sure this was already discussed before, the only reason Megumin feat wasnt accepted was because there was some problems with the translation, and they rejected it unless someone bring the raws

Ah so it was a translation issue. Because I remember it being brought up but forget why it was rejected.
