Quote: I think every successful superhero character has to have those limits; think about the harm an evil Human Torch could do unrestrained by conscience. As long as there are good in-story reasons why the character can't use an instant-battle-winning power every time then the writer retains suspension of disbelief.Plus it's kind of nice when the reader starts to ask the same questions the hero asks themselves when fighting something. Quote: Quote: Silver, on the other hand, isn't quite so dense, and she may be able to handle if she makes only one small medallion a day over the course of a few days. Since a proper spell isn't something that can be hurried, and since it would likely require a certain purity of silver, and since Vinnie is usually broke, I guessed that Liu Xi may have made them from possibly junkyard iron or something.Quote: Indeed. But imagine Vinnie trying to describe the runic sigil N'Krog'Kroth so that the amulets get twisted into the correct configuration.If he has a picture or a drawing she can duplicate it. She's seen much more insane things from the Shoggoth, so a little unnaturalness wouldn't bother her. Quote: It also means that she's always walking round seeing things differently to the rest of the world. If her power was somehow shut down it would be like us suddenly having black and white vision.And the more she practices using it, the tougher it's going to be to live without it. | |||||||
