Rory isn't much a magic-looking type. For simplicity, Rory can obtain Return to Sender from BioShock Infinite: (as I'm too lazy to describe any magic)

This limits his magic to counter-attacking and traps, and stands out from the usual magical powers. It also doesn't look too magical, so I think this fits best. Of course, we certainly assume the power isn't so powerful it absorbs every single type of attack effortlessly; it's up to you how powerful it is.

Elizabeth likes animals. I think she being able to cast Murderous Crows would be cool:

This also stands out from most other magics that often come to mind.

Creating crows out of nothing isn't something that I'd really like to have. I'm basically nitpicking with this, but, if they're coming from nowhere, that's not something that really fits the way the world works. That's assuming it's actual crows.

What basically amounts to a magnetic field distortion is fine, as long as you realize that there's limits to what it's going to be able to do. If you're trying to reflect something that's immensely more powerful than you, i.e. a directly impacting 1-ton tossed stone, the field would basically burst and you'd get hit with everything you couldn't redirect.

I'm not sure what power I want for Harry. Maybe something that slows time, greatly enhances his reflexes, or increases his speed?

All of those would be fine, as long as you weren't taking them to the level where they get ridiculous, since all of them have that breakpoint where they cease to become strong and become overbearing. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Yes, of course, a magnetic field reflecting/absorbing/whatever should have limits; wouldn't work on a giant boulder. I was thinking it works for generic stuff, like bullets fired from pistols/SMGs/shotguns/shrapnel/small arms, that sort of thing. The projectile and trap could be somewhat like an antigravitational bomb of sorts, not necessarily instantly lethal.

The Murderous Crows seem to be summoned. They also swirl around the Zealots in an aura-like manner, even provide teleportation for the Zealots. But if they're not suitable for the RP, I'll have to have something else. Here’s something more conventional:

Note the chunk of crystals tossed to create an electrostatic trap, which I found pretty cool. The crystallization could also be used as electrical knuckle dusters or defences.

Yeah, summoning crows from essentially nowhere is not something that I feel really fits here.

Are you going for that other option, or no? I'm not in a rush to get it all figured out; take your time, especially if you don't plan on having anything manifest any time soon. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

The difference is that electricity is a manipulation of energy rather than the conjuring of organic life. I understand it's mostly technicalities, but since it's my technicalities it makes sense to me. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

That's not quite true.
Everything has an electric field. Yes, you are manipulating. But, unless you're near a lightning strike from a thunderstorm, you're going to have to use quite a bit of energy in order to manipulate enough surrounding energy into an effective attack.
Even then, there are going to be surroundings where this isn't an option because they are not conducive to generating energy, or you're just there at the wrong time. (or worse, there's enough for 1 shot and the other person just used it).

At which point, you're either:
- using an external power source (technical or magical) that you carry on yourself
- using your own internal power
And most of the time, you'd be better off using your own internal power, rather than the external supply, because the area just won't give you enough juice. And you may wear yourself out further trying to make the attack rather than pulling from yourself.

Hey rainbow!


Let's rp!


I'm not posting in ITV anymore, but, I'm thinking of joining another Rp while I recreate my witch hunter Rp.

I have a few ideas for a my next RP, but I'm not posting any of them, in case SOMEONE *Eyes Fish* decides to steal my ideas. =)



Because my Rp's tend to have some epic world-building and lore-building in them, I think the route to go is to make a separate lore thread for each RP I make. It will save me the headache of having to make 60 pages worth of reserves in the RP thread for the lore. Lol. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)
