Poll of the Day > Fire magic is not all that good, guys.

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's all sorts of problems with throwing around fire.

Says the guy throwing shade

Blood bending is where it's at

Yeah but it's the coolest destruction magic for the lowest cost and has burn damage, so fuck lightning and frost

Provided you throw it far enough, though, those problems become somebody else's, so it's fine.

I like Ice magic

Blizzard, sleet ice storm Ice spikes/spear and the all might COMET ( ice version of meteor) and the worst one yellow snowballs hahaahahah

so many offence, defence support and debuff options
(blinded by ice storm blizzards and falling over from walking on ice)

I like Ice magic

Despite my username I do like ice magic a lot as well; dual-wielding lightning and ice would be my ideal setup.

ice magic is the superior form of magic every time

My favorite thing is using healing magic offensively against the undead.

I've noticed in most games, when there's a variety of elemental magic or effects available (and they're all relatively equal in power and versatility), I tend to gravitate towards ice. It's not even a conscious thing, I don't do it on deliberately. It just sort of happens.

I usually gravitate towards ice. If speaking games, it usually has a Crowd Control effect of immobilizing or at least slowly enemies. In a bigger lore sense, ice can be used to make tangible objects, like bridges, ladders, etc., giving it extra useful traversal properties.

From what Ive tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire.

But I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great, and would suffice.

i usually go for ice magic, mostly because it actually gets fleshed out whereas at least in the games i've played things like water, earth, and air tend to be either forgotten or if they're there they have few or weaker options. i rarely go with fire or lightning (outside of FF7 where lightning is absolutely broken).

what's everyone's favourite Element combination when you combine two

fire and water probably not so great unless you like steam and boiling people to death lol
Fire and earth probably the most deadly for extreme destruction
earth+water mostly poisons/cures/healing or mudslides

Fire+wind if you just want to watch the world burn from massive inferno's

Or you could combine Earth, Wind & Fire and play September.

Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Though Sodium and Chlorine is a nice combo as well.

If you're talking about real world science you can't just "throw fire", the fire needs to be attached to a fuel source it's traveling with, however since we're talking about magic that doesn't matter.

I mean, if you're going to drill that deeply into real world science, magic as a whole does not and cannot exist because of the dozens of ways that it violates multiple laws of physics.

Pretty much all ice powers violate thermodynamics, lightning is violating conservation of energy, etc etc.

The point I was making is the issues that exist with "throwing around fire" IRL do not apply with elemental magic.

The "practice" dungeon in Super Lesbian Animal RPG is the first point in the game where Claire joins the party, and since she's a witch, well of course, you want to start throwing spells. And the first offensive spell she starts with is Scorch.

And the first enemy you encounter is a dust bunny. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/958d92f4.png

Dust bunny + fire spell = ..https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c41a4210.jpg

I just about died laughing when Allison comments, "Why did you think it would be a good idea to set it on fire?"
