Balefire doesn't undo balefire. Gher Send a noteboard - 10/03/2010 04:13:28 AM
Can you balefire yourself?


Yes you can

But only with a hair-thin slice of balefire

Why? Because the balefire should only be powerful enough to balefire you out of the pattern a few microseconds before, meaning you would have been around to create the balefire, but would have dissappeared sometime while the balefire was travelling from your palm to your body.

Any larger quantity of balefire won't work, 'cos it burns your thread before you create the balefire, meaning that nothing happens

Which goes to prove that its very hard to commit suicide using balefire


So if you balefired yourself with a -1 hour stream of balefire, you'd die 1 hour ago, even though you would never have been there to balefire yourself. Crazy, but the size of the balefire doesn't matter. The question is whether you could actually touch the stream to your body.

Balefire has enough paradoxes, I don't know that this would be that much worse... Gher - 08/03/2010 11:18:59 PM 498 Views
That is one of the questions that must never be asked. Fanatic-Templar - 09/03/2010 12:08:00 AM 636 Views

My point is the 'dosage' wouldn't matter. Gher - 11/03/2010 11:14:28 PM 610 Views
