Australian Parties are great. I'm a huge fan of the Sex Party, but the 'Help End Marijuana Prohibition' Party is pretty neat too.
Bulletproof vests can easily give you severe bruising, internal bleeding, and broken ribs or bones when used.
They don't have to be deeply devout. They merely need to know that it's a holy symbol, and then it affects them. But I think they have to know it's there; having it tucked under your shirt probably doesn't do much.
Huh. Okay, I was wrong there, I was banking on them not requiring training but I didn't actually check.
Not... sure, actually. I think they would only need to be tight enough to avoid shifting significantly, but it would vary based on which kind they are. I'd suspect that designs that use ceramic plates wouldn't even need to be tighter than a sweater... but i'm definitely not a expert here.
It heats up when he comes up against epic level magic effects. Against street magicians it barely gets warm.
Nah, I was (sort of) gonna bring up that point myself, though more along the lines of suggesting "training" on a level of, "They get warm as they absorb magic, the stronger it is, the warmer they get. If it gets hot enough to be uncomfortable, you should probably fall back and call us in instead." No training needed to use it, but a quick briefing needed to know its limits and how to identify what the hell's going on when it does get hot.
In the last federal election a month or two ago, there was a "Love Australia or Leave" party whose party logo was an outline of the country with the word "FULL" inside it. I'll admit, after seeing that, I was half-surprised that there wasn't an "Aussie Shitposter" party whose logo was the Aussie shitposter meme from 4chan.
The heat effect is intentional, a way of notifying the wearer that they're under attack. Otherwise they would be none the wiser until the spell finally overloaded it.A poor rate of Magic to heat energy conversion
Could you make spell eaters insulated by, say Fibreglass and don't bother with the heating at all?
For the OL own use, I'd even run a water cooling system to chill it.
They could. However, those have their own problems. You'd have to notice the colour change in something that works best when held against the skin, and you may well be in a noisy fight when it starts absorbing spells.
. And while the other options have issues, it's less dangerous than having heat be the indicator. But as you've said the heat levels are only high when dealing with major magic, it shouldn't be an issue for most mainstream uses of wards.
You Can't Stop Stage One.
Everything has a connection to the Dreaming.
California definitely isn't the worst example of Jackasses in America. Actually, we here kind of seem like we have some of the most moderate politicians. And for dumbasses, we have Florida ... enough said. I don't remember the last time I saw a California politician being an obvious dumbass.
Thank you, corrected.
