from what i know it wouldn’t be that you have a strict energy allotment, more that people would see you using tons of energy and come knocking to gently ask what in the blazes you’re doing in there

i’m sure the federation has good heat pumps and such

Hotspot: generally derided by spellcasters as a pathetic imitation of proper fire magic, but in fact responsible for the normalization of hot water tanks.

cycle detection is either a really useful metamagic that lets you cycle through various detection spells and thus be much more aware of your surroundings, or it’s the most useless spell ever created since bicycles generally don’t exist in fantasy settings.

i engaged in some gap analysis with your mom last night, sadly my microservices lead to an ultimately unsatisfying evening…

I’d like to imagine that this is how non-necromantic sapient undead creatures are created, someone has all their flesh incinerated away but somehow their soul clings to the bones, and bam sapient skeleton.

In this case it could result in a poltergeist, which uses the dust to interact with things.

use whatever spell that lets you somehow communicate with it, somehow enable it to cast spells on its own (i would presume if there’s still a mind it can simply cast spells?), then it’s just a weird magical creature similar to elementals and slimes from then on.

i cast insulin

alternatively just an HVAC technician who casts enchantments

“For the last time i am NOT an ‘installation wizard’, i am an engineer! I didn’t spend 5 years studying enchantments just for people to compare me to bedsheet-wearing dementia-addled codgers!”

harmacist

at least there’s only one word in there that makes it complete nonsense, “extrapolating a vector” sounds vaguely sensible, technobabble for “i’ll have a guess at where it’s headed”

pipe fox news through the PA system along the outer sections of the ship

at least from what i’ve seen it generally results in you becoming a thrall, they can straight up just completely control you like an RC car

trans people wielding immense power in the fae wilds

i haven’t watched modern trek because blehhhh, but i presume it’s just used as a deus ex machina? “ah crap we don’t have a sensible solution to this situation, let’s just have them mind meld to get the information”, shit like that?

this depends heavily on the specific candy/dessert IMO, solid sugar candy is fine because it dissolves slowly, but some stuff just detonates a sugar bomb on your tongue and it genuinely makes me shudder in bone-deep rejection of something that must be poison.

Swedish desserts are generally really enjoyable to me because they have a bunch of savoury with the sugar mostly coming from some sort of jelly or stuffing, like in cinnamon buns.

it’s dead simple: lemmy is like 90% nerds

yeah i was thinking more the ability to pull water out of exposed moist stuff, anything that would get dehydrated when exposed to regular dry air.

to pull moisture out of cells and the blood you’d need to break cells, which is on the same level of power as bloodbending.

even without true bloodbending, imagine how miserable it would be to have someone pull the moisture out of your mouth and eyes… Living with dry air is bad enough, and that follows the laws of physics

i’d be quite happy with just the abilities shown in ATLA, outside of moon shenanigans

i kinda need water to live, so being able to recycle my sweat and urine is really quite convenient! And then it can be controlled to move things or slice stuff, which is just the icing on the cake!
