Kurogami clearly is starting to lantz his char.
My Mage in making might have pretty versatile Awakened Magic that bends reality to his will, but I'm sure to add weaknesses that in practice makes spamming magic and doing something too blatantly magic a dangerous proposition (Paradox backslash).
With Minato's time space control there is the issue of requiring long stretches of time (In the order 6 hours to several days, or shorter periods over weeks.) to do anything remotely significant with (I made a room slightly bigger!), and just because people seem to still have problems with it, I will add to that and say that the nexus supresses that and the only thing he can use time space power on is himself, the dorm, and things in the dorm.
I guess something I forgot to ask.
Why is this old man even doing this? What is his motivation? Why did he even pick Minato other than apparently being nice? How does he even have all these connections and influence?
I will be making a sheet for this guy eventually so most of his story will have to wait but his motivation can be summed up as a split between his ambition to bring peace to as much of the nexus as possible, and his own amusement. His interest in Minato started when he was saved a huge chunk of trouble by Minato destroying a rather violent feral dragon that had gone on a rampage.
The Abyss of Time was totally made by the SEES members' personae over six months, it also facilitates time travel. That is practically half of the plot of The Answer.
When the phenomena of Dark Hour and Tartarus was created, Tartarus, growing out of the ground each night eventually left a great cove underneath its roots. Following the death of the Protagonist, the Abyss of Time was attracted by SEES' grief and sorrow and spread its influence there, rooting down below the dorm. Eventually the Abyss of Time would become active, locking SEES in an infinite time loop where the time will re-reset itself whenever the clock hits 12:00 A.M., leaving time forever frozen on March 31.
Yeah my bad, I looked back over my notes and found that I had misremenbered a few things. I do not intend on taking out a bunch of things but I do want to try to be able to do the things I want to do without trampling lore too much. I actually have a better explanation in my notes that I will put in during my next edit.
I believe it's pretty much the equivalent to Kindred sucking blood that the Hunter is doing right now.
Also, the point with Strige that makes them so hard to deal with is precisely that normally very few things can hurt it, except for its Banes. That would be Fire and Sunlight plus whatever other Bane the Strix has acquired if it's been around long enough.
So, say, if it didn't use the Twilight Form power, a sword that can cut spirits still wouldn't be able to hurt it (unless it was specifically enchanted to hurt Strix by Blood Sorcery), but a shotgun with Dragon's Breath would because it's fire. And it doesn't matter if that fire is of supernatural or mundane origin, it is complete anathema to them.
Right, I get it. The question now becomes, would it be too meta for Minato to know to use fire, normally I would say yes it is and leave it but the city is apparently full of them so my line of questioning becomes;
Are the strix as a whole recent or have they been in the city over a long period?
If they have been here a long time what are the chances of Minato having run into them before?
And if he attacked them would they flee before he cycled through the other elements and tried fire?
I will not interfere this time but I want to know just in case it comes up again later.
Soreness and slight anemia, based on what YOLF said in the chat.
If that is all I will just have Minato heal the problem away at breakfast if Mike wants me to.
