Re: What is Hardened Air anyway? Orlin_Artemi Send a noteboard - 16/10/2009 01:19:14 PM
Hardened Air is a weave that has been employed by channelers in the Wheel of Time universe on numerous occasions. Essentially, the channeler thickens the air around the target until it solidifies into a hard casing. The best example that I can cite would be the weave that Liandrin used to bind, gag and disarm Jaichim Carridin.

Something seized him-the air turned to crawling jelly-something forced him to his knees, encased him from the neck down. It tightened around his wrist until his bones grated; his hand popped open, and his sword fell. The Power. She was using the One Power on him. A Tar Valon witch. And if she knew that name...

An "accurate" WoT game would be heavily, HEAVILY biased in favor of channelers beetnemesis - 13/10/2009 10:54:04 PM 838 Views
Good idea - esp. since in Ars Magica, you have a "non-magical" character under your control, as well *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/10/2009 12:44:36 AM 344 Views

Can't reply to all of these - many of these OP-discussions are heavy on the philosophy RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/10/2009 06:39:09 PM 801 Views

Maybe Mage: The Ascension would work better. A vague, open-ended system would be better RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2009 07:30:32 PM 708 Views

That was probably 'bending light', as Rand used on Egwene in Cairhien, no? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 17/10/2009 06:52:21 AM 328 Views
I don't think so. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/10/2009 06:32:36 PM 656 Views
