Linuto@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

This is like saying you would be tired after lifting a pallet with a forklift. Many magic systems are about using magic in the world around you, which only requires you to understand how to use it; the energy being consumed doesn't come from yourself.

AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

No, if you were just worried about energy, you would be much less tired than by doing things manually. For example, moving a heavy object downhill would gain you energy, not lose it, and keeping a heavy object in the air would neither gain nor lose energy. it would only be lifting that is hard, and it would still be easier than lifting manually.

Edit: and according to Wikipedia, human muscles only have an efficiency of around 20%, so doing basically anything through magic would be 5x easier than doing it by hand.

AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Obeying all of the laws of physics, magic wouldn't work at all. Assuming you were able to break a few but kept some such as conservation of energy, it would be very powerful, ex: teleportation does not break conservation of energy as long as you teleport to the same height you left from. If you were able to extract energy from your surroundings, you could probably do basically anything you want. You could lower the sun's heat by a degree and be able to move a mountain.

megane_kun@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 3y (19 replies)

Cool! Every time you manipulate gravity, your body loses mass in addition to and proportional to how much energy is needed to do the manipulation.

Which part of your body loses this (additional) mass is totally random. It could be your fat, it could be your brain tissue, it's all random. How the mass is lost depends on what is the most likely way it'd be dissipated.

AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

if the part of your body losing the mass was actually completely random, the atoms would disappear roughly evenly across your body, so probably the main thing you have to be worried about is your DNA (and thus getting cancer).

megane_kun@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

That's something that, depending on your POVā€Œ (sadistic DM or a player), might be either interesting, or really terrible.

But then again, it takes time (to know that you're fucked) so I guess it's just horrifying. You'd never know if you've fucked yourself up using the power.

Thanks for making me think lmao. Can you eli5 your very last sentence. I think I understand but want to be sure.

megane_kun@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (15 replies)

I wasn't really thinking much about it, tbh, but it's more along the lines of "cell burns glucose to create energy", or "random photon hits skin cell, making it slightly warmer," or in the more unfortunate circumstances where the random part of the body is, say, a brain cell, it could have not much choice but to "spontaneously undergo nuclear fission."

It's me trying to cover my ass, tbh, and make things more interesting by just not going "E=MC² thus things go boom!"

I suppose you can go use the power safely most of the time, but there's a chance that something important might go off in the most unfortunate way.

MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (14 replies)

OK I get. How about if it's not random, but the amount of force I need to use is dependent on where I take it from, according to importance to normal bodily function.

Like if I wanna make a leaf fall off a branch, it's my finger nail, and I can sort of, as a baked in part of the power, decide where I gets taken from as long as it meets the required energy?

megane_kun@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (13 replies)

I mean, that'd still make it somewhat OP, I think.

Though to be honest, your approach is similar to what I actually came up with as a consequence for a different superpower (time-space manipulation--which I think is a lot more energy-intensive), in the sense that it'd take energy from the least important part of the body to the most important.

However, I suppose just having the energy requirements already limits a lot of the OP potential of the superpower (can't just summon a black hole, lol!), so I think your changes are quite reasonable.

So, yeah! Let's go with your modifications.

1st@kbin.social · 12 pts · 3y (1 reply)

You no longer have any side effects, only things intentionally done will happen. You must now consciously think about breathing and blinking as they are no longer side effects of being alive. As this is not a side effect, but rather the effect itself it cannot be nullified.
