My question is How much Psions Material Burst need to convert 1kg of water/dust/metals (any kind of material) into energy? How much does this magic affect Tatsuya body or mind? Any fatigue or aftereffect?
Lets say that Tatsuya wants to change the maps and in a frenzy he decided that he will convert 20kg of material into energy at the center of the USNA... will he easily do this ? EDIT: Masaki cant do nothing against an entire fleet... What will he do? Kill the guys on the ship just boiling the water? Not viable... |

Its actually probably a good thing that he lost his stronger emotions before the family really started heaping on the emotional abuse. For anyone who has ever seen Armageddon, its like the guy straddling a nuke and treating it like a joke. They are really way too stupid to be realistic.

*Added: Food for thought What do you guys think is First Institute's specialty? Since both Ichihana and Ichijou come from there, I think it might be "magic that can directly interfere with human body." What do you think? *Added2: Question Can Tatsuya decompose a body without destroying Edios shell first?

Tatsuya is able to Material Burst from so far because he has the Third Eye for visual confirmation as well as Elemental Sight to search in the information dimension, Masaki can't do anything with just visual confirmation. A battleship is also massive, he probably can't cast Rupture on the whole ship and he'd have to get into range to cast magic on it in the first place. Why would you steer a battleship into medium to close range for a single magician to damage the enemy fleet when you can just as well bombard the enemy from afar? And if the enemy fleet lands on Japanese grounds, would you rather have the talented magician fight on ground where he can fully utilize his abilities or have him on a ship in the ocean where his effectiveness is questionable at best?

You said he cann't use magic from afar because he doesn't have ES. Then, how are you going to explain Mio's Deep Abyss? That magic can be casted on underground water too. You think JSDF dug a hole and took her there just to cast it? btw, I think the reason tat cann't use MB from longer than 20 km in Vol 8 doesn't relate to visual image(of cause he saw the fleet coming while ago) but the reason might be "the bullet he cast MB on(to make a suitable level of damage)" cann't reach farther than 20 km.

Hey now that I think of it (because i'm re-reading again) erika tells her brother that tat's is 101, but kazama intentionally never gave his unit name, miyuki didn't tell her and tat's wasn't even around, while there is always that chance that they could tell her later I doubt it same for finding out via research(since 101 has a high information restriction) so how did she know.

Okay..... so it's 20 megatons against the most important naval port on the Korean peninsula, effectively killing at least 400,000 people if this was the pre-WW3 population from Busan to Goseong and from Geoje to Miryang.
I can see why Koreans would consider this anti-Korean, never mind the problem of how Korea is annexed. BTW, is this the web or published version? |

Also remember, the Chiba Family has strong ties with the military though Tatsuya information is top secret thanks to the Yotsuba. Last edited by iCloudz7; 2014-01-18 at 11:23. |

Chiba family has more influence in the police, and even among people deeply involve in the defence force it is a rumor at best so knowing the comand hierarchy is a different matter and erika defitnely didn't know kazama to the point that her brother was the one that ended telling her about him,.so while the possibility is not zero it is highly unlikely.

Thus we can conclude that magicians capable of 'bombing' a ship from several kilometers away are limited to an extreme minority of specialized magicians. Abyss is designed as a wide area magic, whereas Rupture is designed to target a single object as stated in Vol.7. Quote:
We also know using Rapture on humans continuously exhausts the user considerably, does using it on humans or a battleship require more magic power? Quote:

Between the USNA (which annexed Canada), Russian taking over most of Central Europe, Great Asian Alliance (which is a re-imploded China re-forming and annexing Korea) and more than a few other things -- I can imagine why a lot of people that are more sensitive about these kind of things could be offended. That said, I think it's pretty clear from the author's perspective, that in this case Japan isn't exactly being painted with a halo either -- but protagonists are still protagonists! The world as it is in 2095: My personal feelings on it reminds me of "Code Geass" -- it's an alternate world of "what-ifs" that has enough of a foundation of world building underlying it that I'm nonplussed by these kinds of protestations. The most "unbelievable" part (other than fanciful magic and the like) is how quickly the international "magic community" came together and how effective they were at silencing nuclear weapons. "The UN (of magic) can't possibly be this cute capable!"

That's actually not that surprising to me at all. Nuclear weapons aren't really weapons that can be used. As such, if given a promising and flexible alternative which can see immediate use (and which doesn't immediately identify you as the culprit, unlike a nuclear weapon), nations would likely dive right in. Just look at the US and drones, for example. In other words, the reason they were so effective at "silencing" nuclear weapons is because they were such an effective replacement for them, and not because they brought some magical peace to the world.

Don't fiction writers all do this to 'simplify' the real world political climate into something more manageable? Breaking it down or consolidating into a handful of key players relevant to the plot.
