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 1361 Views
yes but it doesn't proactively do this darius_sedai - 19/01/2016 10:06:25 PM 1210 Views
Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness fionwe1987 - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM 1123 Views
it's a visualization thing really darius_sedai - 20/01/2016 04:39:08 PM 1170 Views
Not the crux of the debate... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 03:37:40 AM 1255 Views

I always explained it as fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 09:26:35 PM 1262 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 1152 Views
That's precisely my point fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 10:09:02 PM 1240 Views
now you are speculating based on a lack of evidence darius_sedai - 21/01/2016 10:39:13 PM 1067 Views
There's actual evidence: fionwe1987 - 22/01/2016 06:25:25 AM 1250 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 1417 Views

from the very beginning of this conversation I've been saying I'm theorizing darius_sedai - 26/01/2016 04:09:19 PM 1151 Views

Yes, but that's not what I'm arguing... fionwe1987 - 16/01/2016 08:56:15 AM 1074 Views
But additive doesn't explain buffers and being able to overdraw darius_sedai - 16/01/2016 03:02:33 PM 1108 Views
Don't those two facts explain each other? fionwe1987 - 16/01/2016 03:24:44 PM 1135 Views
