Hey, man, sorry to bother, I'm aware you're taking a rest, but if it's not an issue and you have a minute, can you evaluate these calcs? Of course, if that falls into calc stuff you're taking a break from then no worries. Thanks in advance!
Sorry for the inconvenience
I think I already got it to calculate the crystals, in one image there is a white part in the pink crystal, then I used another image where you can see that white part, with that I drew another line of the cat's height in front of the pink crystal, it was the only way I found to calculate the area of the blue crystal, please review it.

Hello
I saw your skill thread and had a few question. Would categories like Tactics/Strategies or Teamwork fit under skill ?
  • By Tactics/Strategies, I mean the ability of a character to make use of everything they have in order to take down a foe that can be far stronger than themselves. I'm surely explaining it badly but as for an example let's consider video game characters. During boss fights, they often are the underdogs and it is common that they are straight up outmatched and can't win in a direct fight. A notable example of this would be a character using their environment to take the advantage (EX: Making the boss attack an instable part of the boss room to make it collapse on it and damage it that way) a good example of this would be the first boss fight of TLoZ Wind Waker. An other would be using everything you can find/see to gain the advantage like using the water at your foe's feet and a nearby electric cable to electrocute them or taking down a water tank to extinguish the enemies flames. An other would be coming up with creative strategies to compensate your weaknesses (ex: Denji damaging his own brain to shield himself against the falling devil's mental attack he was vulnerable to). One last example would be varying your approach toward a fight to fit who you are facing (hit and run, stalling, sneak attack, etc). There is surely way more than those but those were the main point that came to my mind.

  • By Teamwork, I mean the ability of characters to work together to achieve something, obviously and it is more niche than before but it's not something everyone naturally have. In a team fight, a weaker team can beat up a stronger team by having a better coordination, a deeper understanding of their partner's powers and how they can interact with their own. (ex: the lyoko warriors from Code Lyoko can beat enemies in far superior numbers by working together even though they can have trouble 1v1 those same foes normally.)
A bit off topic but what's your opinion on how skill is categorised for fire emblem: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:TheGatememer/Fire_Emblem:_Three_Houses_Skill_Blog
Hello. Need you help. In A Song of Ice and Fire book verse there was a difficulties with scaling one feat. Feat: character Maelys Blackfyre kills horse with a single punch

Destrier horse in this verse described as: "are tall, strong, splendid animals, often high spirited. Destriers give knights a majestic air at tourneys. They are normally the most valuable type of horse, being well bred and highly trained but quite expensive"

So there were difficulties related to fact that durability of RW horse is varies from street level to at most street level+ and because of this it is difficult to say how high AP of Maelys is scaled. You can also see the latest messages in this discussion thread: (devoted to this issue)

And i created a thread about this issue in Questions and Answers forum:
Thread 'Question about horse durability and AP to kill horse' https://vsbattles.com/threads/question-about-horse-durability-and-ap-to-kill-horse.176743/

But I haven't received the correct answer yet. Can you help please

In fact, do this random Magma/volcanic rock Elemental!
Elemental passives and whatnot are in Rag's profile, though obviously burning with the full concentrated power of the sun is a him thing.

What am I meant to evaluate here? I'm not going to dig feats, lol.
Hello! According to the Bastard!! verse page, you are a supporter of the verse. I was wondering if you could check this matchup (Uriel), and give an input there when you have time. Seol, from the looks of things, seems to inactive.
Hello! I have a question but Ergen novels, specifically the Cultivation general abilities page. At one point, the resistances just state "All prior and current abilities", and I was wondering why that is? I'm indexing a Cultivation novel as well, and it was shown that higher realm cultivators are unfathomably above lower realmed one, with them resisting the abilities of lower ones. As such, I was wondering if it was normal to have them resist all current and prior abilities as well (Layering was already accepted)?

Additionally, if it's a yes, would the resistances extend to abilities that are not general, but are still of lower realms? There were statements of strong curses, and they were powerful because they ignored realms/levels (Extremely powerful and one of a kind), with no ability having such statement.

Thanks for answering! I still have a few more questions, if you don't mind (first time indexing a Xianxia novel). From what I'm seeing, each realm supposedly has 10 levels, though I checked ISSTH wiki, and Foundation Establishment was only like, 5-6 levels. Is the reason it is 10 levels as well is because of different Ergen series having 10 levels at the 2nd realm, or is it something else?

I'm asking because of the series I'm reading, with it stating that there is a huge difference between like 8th realm and 9th realm, as big as the difference from 1st realm to 8th realm, and was wondering if those qualify for extra layering? Not to mention there are other Worlds who have 10 levels in second realm compared to the main world, would that also qualify to assume 2nd realm in general have 10 levels?

Additionally, what about abilities that only work on those with lower cultivation realm, and is useless against those of higher realms? As in, an explicit statement stating that Power Null can't work against character stronger than them, would that qualify for General Abilities? Or if a character stated that, with all of their ability, their Battle Strength only reached 6th realm, and 7th realm ones would slaughter them, would that be enough to assume 7th realm cultivators have resistance to all the character's abilities at that point, or is it a stretch?

Foundation Establishment in ISSTH actually has 10 levels. The reason it is 6 levels in early ISSTH is later revealed to be due to Ji Tian meddling with the Heavens of the Ninth Mountain and Sea Realm.

The second paragraph is a very common concept (even Ergenverse has it) but I've never really applied it to hax so I wouldn't know.

For the third case, there's a direct instance of a cultivator who is physically more powerful having their Qi nulled due to their opponent having higher cultivation in Ergenverse (i.e. Bai Xiaochun's first mission). Do you have any similar things?

Oh, that's kinda similar to my case. Between 9th and 10th realm, there can be thousands of great realms, but due to Grand Dao imposing rules, all of them would just be below 10th realm, even if massively superior to 9th realm.

Understood, I'll try using it later on to see if it sticks.

For PNull? Solely due to higher cultivation, I don't think so, no. Mostly because the MC kinda has ridiculously strong Body compared to other cultivators, with it being stronger than even those at higher realms, though he never uses it against those cultivators, or those equal to him in realm, since it was stated it didn't work on those stronger or equal to him (even though he's physically more powerful than them in cases I mentioned above). Additionally, the power could be learned (as it is a thing that many cultivators could get, but requires many things to do). Additionally, I recall statement where "strength" didn't just mean physical strength, but that, mind, soul strength, cultivation level, etc...

I do however, have instances where higher realmed cultivators didn't get affected by paralysis of mind and soul due to them having a higher form of Qi granted by being higher realmed. There are also instances where characters at the same realm, with one character being close to a single level higher, having be unaffected by spiritual attacks due to having a stronger soul (said realm is the realm where they train specifically on soul/mind).

The layering stuff is already accepted, but I was wondering if it was possible to extend it to abilities of specific cultivators on lower realms. Mostly because one of the strongest things was a Curse, and it was said to be powerful specifically due to it ignoring levels/realms, with this being the only ability mentioned to ignore levels, with any other ability being stated to only work till like, 6th realm (ie their Battle strength was at 6th realm, and cannot win against 7th realm cultivators).
