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 1591 Views
yes but it doesn't proactively do this darius_sedai - 19/01/2016 10:06:25 PM 1435 Views
Responding to a shield doesn't require proactiveness fionwe1987 - 20/01/2016 05:53:24 AM 1368 Views
it's a visualization thing really darius_sedai - 20/01/2016 04:39:08 PM 1395 Views
Not the crux of the debate... fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 03:37:40 AM 1473 Views

I always explained it as fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 09:26:35 PM 1497 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 1364 Views
That's precisely my point fionwe1987 - 21/01/2016 10:09:02 PM 1457 Views
now you are speculating based on a lack of evidence darius_sedai - 21/01/2016 10:39:13 PM 1312 Views
There's actual evidence: fionwe1987 - 22/01/2016 06:25:25 AM 1460 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 1662 Views

from the very beginning of this conversation I've been saying I'm theorizing darius_sedai - 26/01/2016 04:09:19 PM 1373 Views

Yes, but that's not what I'm arguing... fionwe1987 - 16/01/2016 08:56:15 AM 1305 Views
But additive doesn't explain buffers and being able to overdraw darius_sedai - 16/01/2016 03:02:33 PM 1364 Views
Don't those two facts explain each other? fionwe1987 - 16/01/2016 03:24:44 PM 1367 Views
