Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

With a whole warehouse full of "much more active than anyone expected", the "one or two tempting powerful objects" option is right out. Who wants to guess how many incidents? I call three.
-
I also suspect this was a case where too little dialog made trouble -- if Nioi had justified her "baby soul" theory with (in-story) rock solid evidence e.g. "We've done it before and it always worked, we've skipped it before and we still have nightmares about the results," then a drastic step like that would feel more reasonable, and Nioi giving such a justification would imply that she knew and admitted that such a step needed a lot of justification.
-
Were those additional memories immediately merged into her personal history, or were they initially "as if read in a book" and only became really a part of her when and if she decided to accept them? That would be a way to provide the necessary experience with a lot less violation -- plus, she could assert her individuality by picking and choosing those she wanted to accept.
-
This sounds like it might actually go through. So, what happens when Tedd requisitions a human guinea pig test subject (and with Sarah already in DGB's records, does she have the inside track on that opening)?
-
Bungled by overloading. Birds, bats, and ... was there a leopard in there, as well as Human and Uryuom? Just being alive to begin with should credit Vlad with a win.
-
Tedd could produce one-day transformation wands with pointed ears, cat ears, cat whiskers, puppy tail, green skin, etc. (just one small transformation per wand) for vaccination purposes....we could have play groups with every grade-school child showing a different trivial transformation.
-
The trick would be to get the clothes to morph themselves...perhaps a wand sewn into an inside seam with as much energy as Tedd can store in it and a single spell: Stretch/Shrink to fit the person wearing you.
-
All magic must now be used by gestalt beings with at least three components. What do you mean, all humans are individuals? What's an individual?
-
They actually have a great rating so far -- it will be an infinite time before they fill up. Unfortunately for them, mathematicians can post downvotes based on expected poor service at infinity...
-
No further worries about magic hiding -- Tedd has power to bend worlds to her will, and now she's angry enough at WoM to do it...
-
If the WoM is an AI (probably powered by Magic instead of technology) it might wonder what happens after the cycle of change ends. A good tactic might be to reassure it that it will still have a purpose and won't suddenly be decomissioned.
-
Let anyone who wants to get magic by studying hard for more than a few years, then have most of them get "Firefly flicker" or "levitate feather" as their one and only spell. How many people won't quit before then with the odds really low?
-
Would the magical equivalent of a Dyson sphere be a series of "empowering shelters" laid out along the paths magic follows (does EGS have ley lines?) where magic users can sleep and absorb some usable magic before it finds it's way to a "drain" area like Moperville and gets recycled?
-
Arthur is in an excellent position for an Appeal to Force "argument": He can threaten Tedd's father's job; Tedd's access to alien technology; and possibly Tedd's, his father's, and his friends' freedom. Of course, the Will of Magic just might recognize really blatent coercion and stop listening to the person using it...
-
It's the silhouette of the tiny mouse form she is transforming out of.
-
Perhaps Magus finally got the nerve to tell Ellen (or anyone who would tell her) and she is doing everything she can to get him a body so he can help with the impending vampire attack.
-
When it really hurts is when the metal doesn't deform at all -- instead, you distort to match the metal.
-
Wonderful how clearly Mr. Shive shows the distinction between bravado (this comic) and genuinely being relaxed ([url=http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2382]here[/url]).
-
What about a usually beneficial, ethically neutral spell to improve strength and health by scooping up excess energy -- all the prospective abberation needs to do is overpower it with an intentional disregard for where, how, or from whom the energy is taken.
-
Chaotic systems can also typically compound the effects of quantum uncertainty until they reach macroscopic levels; it just takes a bit longer.
-
I'm guessing that originally it was personal feelings that were preserved, then someone found a way to instead use that capability to pass on more knowledge and a bigger "starter seed" of power, and the temptation to save more and more power crept up on them untill personal feelings got crowded out.
-
I'm seeing this more as a "mother bear" who has lost her sense of proportion and barely remembers that tearing apart someone only indirectly related to a threat to her family might be crossing the line...some member of her family may need to make an impassioned plea not to flash-fry that private investigator, for example.
-
This puts a good lower limit on future planning, but inadvertantly puts a strict ceiling on accumulation of wisdom with age -- no one who has raised children is around to advise future generations.
-
Tedd and/or Tess has always been cute when refusing to let her fear of disapproval stop him/her, but (s)he's even cuter when she feels hope that this time there might not be any disapproval.
-
Well, it's been established that Ellen can add power to her basic fV5 beam, which amoung other things can add a "knockback" effect...perhaps the victim subject is slumped back against Tedd's zap pad in a heap.
