Defiler magic isn't so much a death effect as it is... and I'm having trouble describing it here... a connection to negative energy which breaks down plants on a cellular level. Like cancer. > 2.

I don't think they change everything into a uniform substance, I think they simply ACCELERATE (thus the name) whatever is put in them to such a high velocity that no matter what it was when it went in, the effect is the same. Example: If I threw a quarter at you from across the room, it wouldn't hurt (unless I sent it through your eye or it got stuck in your nose or whatever, there are always crazy exceptions), but if I dropped that same quarter off the Empire State Building and it hit you, I imagine it would hurt quite a lot (or not, it might kill you instantly). Why? Because force = mass x acceleration (I think... I haven't taken any science courses in a good long while). Actually, as has been recently shown on Myth Busters, once an object reaches terminal velocity, thats it, it wont do anymore damage. The show used the penny off the empire state building myth to show that a penny will not even brake the skin let alone bones or cause death....unless by some freak happenstance just as likely if the quarter was thrown across the room. None of this of course has anything to do with the game or game mechanics of course just something interesting I thought id pass along. LT --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
