This....~-Attention to what negative energy is not, should be adressed. It should not be confused with antimatter, which has positive energy.When an electron and its antiparticle, a positron, collide, they annihilate.The end products are gamma rays, which carry positive energy.-

Is a response to this.....~The magic shield was completely formed of negative energies~, acting like a anti-magic shield. The negative energy sheild was one that would simply defuse the magics in the now powerful beam, the magics being split up and dissolved at moment of contact with the green shield.


Of course this was to answer your question, located within my post ~ What does this mean? Negative energy and postive energy null each other out but the positive one acts last overcompensating naturaly. And thus should have some ramifications. Such as failure to the sheild upon impact with the positive energy of light. Of course equaling out. The light of triangular design shedding its shards would easily and naturaly dispel the shield. And continue its work.


You have to pay close attention to rp with me and it is good that you seek to understand. I'm glad to help you any way I can.

First the way negative and positive energies work is balanced. Your force is negative, mine positve, when they collide they do not equal out, the positive over compensates in order to return to zero which gives it an advantage, the interest aforementioned.

Looking through the internet will provide you with such info. Its logical that negative and positive cancel each other out and thats that, but this is not the case. Logical is not always true.

Negative and positive energies are natural not magical forces at play. For your negative energy to work like anti magic, thats what it would have to be. It is not, unless you used another magical spell to make it so. And I don't see that you did. Then your being would be casting a spell not only to make the negative energy act like antimagic but also form a shield. Taking more time. What was the length of thought? Then there is the matter of it completely doing away with the magical effects which flow like water, so it would have to be continuous. Think of this light as I have described it as a small chunk of ice continuing to melt as it passes threw the shadow. Leaving particles behind like shrapnel in your boddy, if you shielded you would be cutting yourself apart.


And Now for the best part, I always save the best for last. Shadowcross has trained his men in his methods of always being prepared and ready for the unexpected. A simple explanation of this magic effect with this light is like a switch conected to a power source. As it moves the power can be activated or shut off. The power was created with the triangle, The magic was set so it did not need a thought or to be brought up in any way. Its effect would be existant upon contact like a chemical reaction with shadows. The switch was used in keeping it turned off as it was touched to the shadows before. If he could feel danger as to the light it would have been present the whole time. And nothing would have been different.

I quote ~As the light beam had crossed over his body harmlessly, the obvious stiffening of the muscles had proved a wary unease. At this moment, he really wished he had the power to sense aura, such as his master.

He has no ability to sense aura, Aura is simple life energy, how would he be able to know a magical attack was on its way? This is what will kill him. For he would not have the ability to know he was under attack until the effect started. The first blow was entered and gone before he could think to react, leaving behind the acidic poisonous effect of the light magics. The attacker is within eyesight, his thought of killing the specter opening the switch as it returned toward him and was directed at him. Upon contact moving through this shade was too fast. The remnants reacting upon contact to disolve into the shadows very existance.


The second pass I could see him knowing and bringing in the shield. The magics are clearly active already if they are to take place upon contact. As was stated.

~Upon contact, it was designed to solidify with shadows and break into tiny shards. This triangular blade of light would pass into the shadow leaving behind its solidified shards to fizzle and foam. Only to melt again into the form of this soul of shadows born.

I point to ~fizzle and foam~ showing an indication of chemical like reaction. But still the shield is not said to be anything but a shield like something solid put in place to protect him. The negative and positive reacting would dispel the first wave but once the shield was canceled the light continued to move through. Throughout my posts you can see the light magic is a source of flow and exuding, while you have posted a shield which to me suggests a one time measure, one spell which needs to be cast again and again when defused. Even your ooc statements suggest this.


I do not blame you for fighting for the life of your creation, but clearly I see nothing that has been done, able to save him. It makes the rp interesting when there is a fight. And I myself continue to learn every day. There is no shame in that. Look around you and you'll see no one wants their characters to die. But I have had to acknowledge the powers of other beings and witness the fall of some of my characters. It is the nature of the game we play. I also know you will gain more respect from other players if they see you as equal, and not trying to be their god. Not to say that you play in a way that suggests you are above every one else. But sometimes failure can lead to something that opens many doors to you. Don't think of a loss as something you lose. It is something you have gained my friend look carefully and you'll find it. This is not Taren so what harm is there in letting him die if you can figure no way to save him?


Also if you ever have questions perhaps contacting me through ez-mail could be done to avoid holding up rps. After and if that fails you should contest. But that is my opinion because i don't like contests.

Thats good, glad we can be working this out.


Your point is good and I would agree with this ~How I see it, the Light SUDDENLY changing directions, and suddenly coming for the Spector in a quick movement, would call up natural reflexes.


Except for this, visualize a mirror reflecting light and imagine controling this light in a playful manner bouncing it in all directions with chaotic movement. That is how this triangular light is being done, of course its not a reflection. I just use that as an example so you can get the right picture in mind.


Now picture a friend of yours standing in the room with you. As this light is wisked this way and that it inevitibly ends up gliding across them harmlessly. This is what happened the first time the light hit him. Here is the origal start.

~Chaotic in nature but as yet still harmless. Skating around it would pass the specter several times. Even gliding over him with no effect.~

His response ~As the light beam had crossed over his body harmlessly, the obvious stiffening of the muscles had proved a wary unease.~

If a shield was to be raised would not this be the time to use reflexive guard? Having no knowledge of this light and its effects. If he didn't bring the shield up for the first time it touches him what is it that makes him decide to use a shield at all? After seeing it did nothing to him.


See he can't sense the magic, so you can't use that. It passed over him harmlessly and he only tensed up warily. I would say that the first hit was a success, feeling the effects of that first attack...He would know now the light was trying to kill him and could raise the shield, but I don't think with thought he could raise that shield before the second effect takes place. If he waits till contact to think about raising his defense.


Now as far as negative and positive are concerned here, it is what I stated before. Let me see if this can give clarity in this this matter. First let me show you that I understand the use of this shield.


Its like drawing off energy used in the construction of magic, thusly stopping its effect. That is the intent here. How does this work? By using negative energy to draw it away. The process I described already being in play. Your energies are not anti magic so the spells are not destroyed. All I see is an affect like rubbing cheese against a cinder block. The porous holes filled in as the rest continues on.


So lets agree on somethings that we see as clear before moving on with the rest of this discusion.

The first time the magic worked is a complete success the way i see it, unless you can show me why he would raise the shield.

The second pass I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, he raised his shield with a mere thought after being alerted to the lights first affect.

The light passing through this shield after shedding a layer. Continuing its job. After all there was nothing mentioned of measures other than posted of stopping it. As this is an ongoing rp speculation as to what can be done will be left for us to see in the rp's continuance.

~Curiously all around the square light would ~blaze~ in a small pyramid shape about the size of a human heart. Like the suns light was being reflected off a mirror and moved around. ~Chaotic~ in nature but as yet still harmless. ~Skating~ around it would pass the specter several times. Even gliding over him with no effect. This the most cherished of tactics. It would not be without harm if they looked directly in it, if it ~flashed~ their eyes.~


This is the first time the light showed up, tell me where you see any mention of the light going slow. I've highlighted the indications of speed with this mark~.

~It would ~dazzle~ a path in random order ~flailing~ in an ~erratic~ nature just as before. Then ~blazing~ back with the speed so famously known. ~

The mention of speed so famously known is the speed of light and it had been moving that fast all along. I honestly don't know how you came up with the idea the light was ever moving slowly. Also you seem not to have mentioned anything about him getting hit without a shield engaged. That should be changed. I understand you already wrote this and is why its like that.

There is something else about your last post. Let me show you what the effect was that i posted. Sometimes its a good idea when your involved in a contest to reread posts and even the entire rp over again.

~Upon contact, it was designed to ~solidify with~ shadows and break into tiny shards. This triangular blade of light would pass into the shadow leaving behind its solidified shards to fizzle and foam. Into links it would also infect. Like a poison within a human body it would slowly kill. This was no body and this was no poison. But the effects would parallel. ~>

~, he would grin more. Knowing that it was only a matter of time. For the light within would brighten steadily to finally return to its original brilliance..~


In other words the light melded with the shadow itself, it wasn't just cutting it...it was cutting through and to it. Like a knife stabing through your jeans and into your leg,...then to have the blade melting and fusing into your flesh and blood stream infecting..the shade.., lightening it. Melting and slivering, the shadows would not stay shadows long.

~Affectively obliterating the shadow creatures existence. This would take the course of 3 hours to reach its full potency.~

But that is only one hit....he is now being concentrated with it. I don't like the details so obviously stated being so overlooked or ignored....the light is centering on that roses position...links were traveled....and there is no more mention of the rose...if it fades away or not the light is on him, in him, and following him. How is the mere stepping back into shadows going to evade it?


In an rp with Asteria at the nobles office, you posted your specter was a soul, yet ignored Asteria's mind attack stating it would merely pass through his form like a ghost. But her attack was psionic, pure mind force. Ghosts are mental energies in themselves.....here the dodging of the tiger seems to point that he feared harm perhaps, suggesting physical characteristics..hinting at mortality..now in your latest post its stated he has no soul.....I certainly ooc don't feel i have to honor any attack that comes from such contradiction. Either specters are souls or they are dark creatures who have no souls, you can't play it both ways unless you state you have both. Please don't take this the wrong way. I enjoy rping with you, but we need to settle some solid facts in regards to taren and his forces. Particularly this shade.

Because all players, no matter what they play, are not allowed to be invincible. All life has a soul, if it isn't alive it has no soul. If it chooses to move it has essence, and in the rp world those who play with no soul have essence. Entering into this rp world, automatically makes any character you play vulnerable to dieing. A player who uses characters that can affect all around him and not be affected himself are less respected. And I see this notion of people playing as if they have no soul or essence as a way to escape having to face dieing by another players character. Conflicting reports as to who the people are that you play and their strengths and weaknesses changing when the moment dictates, it makes me think your not being fair....


How is the shade able to concentrate on forming a ball of energy with the pain of being lightened and thusly being killed.....magic takes concentration.....and if he is concentrating on forming the energy ball he is not worried about defending himself.....which means he dies faster and would not have enough time nor power to send a shadow through to my guard. the building of the energy would take time as stated in your posts building it up....but i don't think this is reasonable given what the shade is having to deal with in the frame of time he is having to do it in. Not to mention the shadow walking which takes another thought. Drawing energy from my guards attack would not give enough to make such an explosion anyway. Only the contacting part would absorb energy and given the speed it would have no time to draw but the minutest amount. In your post it is the soul source for the balls creation. There is no beam of light conecting to the triangle in order to be traced back to the cold guard. Already stated in my previous ic posts. And he has been watching the same way the entire time. What makes him attack the cold guard? I stated ooc someone was looking at him and was controling the light..But my issue is not with that because I can see someone catching sight of another under duress of being attacked and falsly directing an attack that way. You might or might not pick up on that. But then again, this is ooc...why would you use ooc info for ic purposes? This latest post almost paints a picture in mind of a karate student trying to use the move his teacher just taught him against the teacher. And you should know what would happen then lol



Another thing the shadows around the square have already been placed by Katherin and by reading the rp you can see that the guards shadow would be over the building in the alley, not stretched out behind him. I'll point it out to you if you need me to. but this post is long enough so we can continue with our discusion.


Tarens essence was recorded while he was at the gates. I don't know if the posts were obliterated by the crash or not. The energy of the gates has been in place now for quite some time before taren showed up. In Light of this whenever you post it would be proper to show whether or not taren is the one there or not. If you want to still try and deceive someone then rp it as a deception, like the current rp at the blood pass,...Deception....but this stipulation should only apply when around t'g or Shadowcross and his guards.


One thing I see, is you as a player need to think about visualizing the setting and pay close attention to things others write, their posts have as much weight as yours do. If you had done this, your shade would not be in the danger it has positioned itself into. This is honest advise from one good rper to another good rper. Think about what it is I have used against you. I don't think we should continue the rp till we are both on the same page so to speak.
