#752: "They are similar."

[Ryong]

WM casts dia9 at zombie. Zombie dies. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And...

What about hadoken9? I suppose Hadoken9 would probably create such amount of energy it'd rip a hole into the universe and the dimensions and everything, the beings that wouldn't be killed by it or turned crazy by the fact they can't calculate the amount of energy in it would be killed by getting blind upon seeing so much energy, their eyes unable to "process" and eventually causing the head to a'splode. On a side-note, would that be basically the infinidoken?

[Heliomance]

Hadoken's already a level 9 spell, isn't it? The only one more powerful is Ultima, of the theoretical 10th level.

[Massacre]

Ah, ha... No, you are wrong, my friend. For at Spinal-Snap Industries, our spells go up to 11!

[Khael!]

Mmm... inifinidoken... I thought about cure9; mortal flesh surely can't withstand that much positive energy being channeled through it. Using Cure9 on somebody would be like hooking up a 10 watt lightbulb to an entire hydroelectric dam.

First you'd be healed, then you would get temporary bonus hp, and then more. You would be so full of life that your metabolism and other functions would speed up beyond natural capability, your muscles and everything else bursting with unbelievable health and strength. Then your cells would go into overtime being alive, their processes speeding up just to keep up with everything else; they'd split and grow so fast you'd degenerate into a thoughtless, ever-multiplying life-mass. Probably exponentially. And the only reason your overpopulated cells wouldn't all die of self-induced starvation, or lack of waste management, is because they would be surviving off of pure healing magic. Whenever the spell did end, you'd die as a horribly deformed cancer-like super being. Sorta like Jenova.

[DavidG]

Hmm. I seem to have triggered a chain reaction here...

Well, now I won't be able to eat for a month.

Unless you start adding numbers onto that...

Or like that description theory guy in an issue of Planetary. He transmuted himself into a creature that could survive an atom bomb or wotsit. There was never any scale given to suggest his size, they said his breath caused earthquakes, and he ended his days in the bottom of a miles deep drill hole where he starved to death after 30 years.

I wonder what Ultima would do, being a level higher than level 9 spells. Following the theories laid out so far, it'd have to be, simply, ultimate. Maybe it'd generate enough anti-matter and anti-energy to destroy all the matter and energy in the universe in a blast twice as powerful as Big Bang.

[superluser]

I have had a most horrible pun: Wouldn't Bolt9 be Breakin2?

[Ryong]

Ultima is normally descripted as the strongest spell ever, a pure attack of the purest magic possible. While other spells channel magic at normal elements so they turn into magic, it's not pure magic. As BM said when talking about blue magic: "Magic is forcing your will into things" or something like that, so, when an elemental spell is used, it channels your will into an element. Non-elemental spells wouldn't be affected by elemental weakness - or resistance, for the matter - since they're just pure magic being channeled directly at the target, no channeling magic at elements.

So, if cure9 does all that... What does esuna9 do? Does it make the person never, ever get sick, but still be able to die? I'd like to see magnet ( from kingdom hearts 2 ) as a lvl 9 spell. Super blackhole?

[Amake]

I tend to think that Ultima uses all elements and they cancel each other out rather than no element to start with. Viz. FF8, where Junctioning Ultima to your resistance adds to the resistance of all elements.

Esuna9 would have to purge everything from your body, like the bacteria from your bowels , maybe even damaged and worn cells. Maybe it'd strip frayed DNA spirals, or possibly just delete you entirely.
