I don't see how magnifiers solve this fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 21/01/2016 10:01:17 PM

If sa'angreal are magnifiers, how are we explaining bufferless ones? Take Callandor. Let's say it magnifies by 100X and you're still safe. So if you overdraw and draw in 200X, aren't you still saying "a lack of a buffer allows access to additional power beyond what the angreal was designed for"??

You're forgetting the other side, though. fionwe1987 - 19/01/2016 08:19:59 PM 1386 Views
yes but it doesn't proactively do this darius_sedai - 19/01/2016 10:06:25 PM 1237 Views
Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness fionwe1987 - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM 1158 Views
it's a visualization thing really darius_sedai - 20/01/2016 04:39:08 PM 1198 Views
Not the crux of the debate... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 03:37:40 AM 1282 Views

I always explained it as fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 09:26:35 PM 1289 Views
There's not much to go on since all the shields except Berowyn's are the same darius_sedai - 21/01/2016 09:55:14 PM 1181 Views
That's precisely my point fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 10:09:02 PM 1264 Views
now you are speculating based on a lack of evidence darius_sedai - 21/01/2016 10:39:13 PM 1095 Views
There's actual evidence: fionwe1987 - 22/01/2016 06:25:25 AM 1282 Views
what's dense here is that you keep putting in quotes that don't support your position darius_sedai - 22/01/2016 03:28:16 PM 1451 Views

Yes, but that's not what I'm arguing... fionwe1987 - 16/01/2016 08:56:15 AM 1102 Views
But additive doesn't explain buffers and being able to overdraw darius_sedai - 16/01/2016 03:02:33 PM 1145 Views
Don't those two facts explain each other? fionwe1987 - 16/01/2016 03:24:44 PM 1157 Views
