Quote: I believe I've mentioned this a long while ago (if not, I'm not sure why I didn't) that in human form, Faite is now limited to changing only what's around her. So her abilities are now more flexible than they are powerful. As a spirit she can be everywhere at once; but not as a human.There are likely natural limits to corporeality. One cannot experience linear time while omniscient. One cannot interact with a matter universe while holding infinite force. Etc. Quote: On that same thread, Danny's denial power is far-reaching. If he denies something in Faite's presence, she can...not quite reverse it, but reconstruct what he did and recreate how it would have been before. Naturally that's not always possible to do, especially when it has consequences that have already been set into motion (that's related to why Faite can't fix a lot of what the Hooded Hood does).Under most circumstances, Danny's power, which is really a specialised subset of the Hood's power,is quite weak. Even more than the Hood he is limited to small retcons (his really have to be on very recent events) and can't oppose more powerful beings. He and the Hood both have to use judo rather than boxing. Quote: Tying into what I said about her looking up to Chiaki, that's the kind of strategy she might try to emulate with Grimpenghast. She knows she can't really beat him in a power-vs-power fight. So she'd ask herself, "What would Chiaki do?"Quote: Which in this case would be either try to convince him, or just waste his time long enough for more help to arrive. If she has to, she might be able to fight him to a stalemate, but it's risky. Also, Chiaki would say to know your enemy. Faite knows Grimpenghast fights unfair, and that he has no stake in the fight; whether he wins or loses, it makes no difference. So fighting him is not a smart course of action.I showed Gaz in a debate-fight with Grimpenghast where poor old Gaz was out of his league. Chapter 6 shows Danny in a similar conflict ash a more even match. Quote: Faite is well aware of the unfairness of it, which is why she's so withdrawn most of the time. Chiaki is doing her best to convince Faite that's part of being human - the ability to worry about things like fairness. And that it's good she has a conscience.Since at least as early as Augustus of Hippo in the 4th century, theologicans have been grappling with the "how does a good God allow bad things" argument. The "free will to do bad things is essential to allow people to choose good" argument has been around from then as well. Quote: Faite wouldn't be a a danger to Kerry. She'd probably like her, because Kerry says anything, just like she wishes she could do herself. It's a learning experience for her.Kerry's experience is slowly drawing her the other way, towards a very gradual maturity. | |||||||
