Title: 2/19/05 - If you had a CT element, which one would it be?
Post by: Leebot on February 12, 2005, 10:04:32 am
A lighter tone for the poll this week, have fun with it.

Well, I am Leebot, so I'd have to side with Robo here.

Gotta be water, and not the freezing kind. Imagine the slow, painful death of your enemies as you fill their lungs with pure water, forcing them to suffocate as their mind begins to cloud and their eyes view the world one last time.

<_<;; Huh? Er, I mean, imagine the healing powers and sheer water manipulation!

Shadow easily. With cool techs like Black Hole and Dark Matter (not to mention their BITCHIN sound effects...I'd be Shadow just for the sound effects even!), along with the availability of all the other elements, you can't be beat!

Magus may be my favorite character, but judging by my name, you can guess the sort of techs I think are cooler.  ;)  I voted for Lightning/Heaven.  Luminaire is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Well, someone appears to have resurrected an antiquated thread, so I don't feel bad posting. Anyway... what is it with all these people and 'shadow'? I know it's a valid elemental, and does not inherently imply evil, but I can bet you most people who like it like it because it's the whole dark and 'cool' seeming thing. Most, probably, would want to be like Magus. That is, until they're in his sort of position. His alleigance has virtually destroyed him, and the immesurably evil done through his hand far outweighs the good. There is nothing cool about him, really. He is someone to be lamented and pitied, a dark lord who sees the light but cannot attain it because his choices have damned him. Just a personal gripe of mine; I see on so many forums people thinking these dark characters are 'coolest' when, althought they are indeed very interesting and often deep, it is naive to think them just some kind of 'badass' to borrow the term.
Anyway, as far as magic goes, I went with lighning. Why? Because who would look for lighning from a clear sky? It is most unexpected, and has the power to lighten the dark places, and bring sight to blindness. In its incarntaions it is perhaps the most gracious, and most deadly. However, I almost chose the 'no magic', not for the sake of preferring fighting with hands, but for the philisophical idea that magic, as a power, would lend one to become prone to corruption. Like the Jedi in Star Wars. You begin all noble and heroic, but in time your power thwarts you and becomes your own downfall. That, may we not forget, was one of the chief follies of fabled Zeal - their magic bred arrogance, which sparked such overreaching pride within their hearts that they felt themselves superhuman, and reached in their infinite folly for immortality. Because of magic! Better to be a simple man without power than one struck down by power and pride, after all.

I beg to differ. While Magus himself is responsible for his decisions, just as all men are responsible for their decisions, many of the events that transpired were thrust upon him. Janus did not decide that his father's death would lead his mother on a mad quest for immortality that would result in the death of his beloved sister, the destruction of his homeland (not that it matter a whole lot because of) his ejection through time.

Allow me to pause, and maybe rethink things a little. Janus was damned (would condemned be a better word?) by the decisions of others. Magus was damned, if anything, by his love for his sister. While his means were certainly not admirable (he relied on deception and violence without regard for consequences), it was his singleminded devotion to avenging a loved one that drove Magus' actions throughout the game.

I'd like to think, that after Lavos' defeat, Magus redeems himself through his quest for Schala, but the games give us no indication one way or the other, and his indications that Janus was another person certainly suggest that he may be beyond hope.

To say Magus is your favourite character does not necessarily mean you admire him.  Magus is one of the most complex and interesting characters in the whole series, which is reason enough to like him.

I think Shadow Magic is popular because is represents the highest level of magical ability.  It is certainly not evil.  Robo manipulates shadow energy, and I cannot imagine a character more pure of heart.

Didn't I say that? I said that I can well understand that it does not imply evil at all. I was just griping against the people that like Magus for his 'cool' darkness. I'd personally favour him over the other characters, but for his complexness, as you've said, and not for a certain thinking that darkness is in some way 'cool'. I've seen people on other forums like him for that reason, that's all. As I said, to like him for character traits, or to say 'shadow elemental' is perfectly valid in the right context, or if you're not just saying to try and be 'cool and dark'.

Sorry, I'm not trying to contradict you.  

Magus appears to operate on scientific principles, but are there are also mystical or occult phenomenon?  Some of the things Magus is capable of (necromancy, summoning) appear to be supernatural.

Well, someone appears to have resurrected an antiquated thread,

I want to be that guy! And since I didnt have the chance to have my input in this thread, while Im here, I would pick Shadow, No it's not because Magus uses it, but because Shadow is the purest form of magic, in other words Shadow = Holy/Lightning, So even though Shadow may be tied to evil and other things of the sort, it is actually the best.

**random fact**
Ninja's are always wearing black because the color black in Asia is considered Holy.

Ninjas don't always wear black. They do w/e the situation requires of them. Look at Storm Shadow! He wears white because he's an effing snow ninja. Black blends in with the darkness though, which is where they are a lot...Not refuting what you said, but I think there's more to it than that.

Nice bump, I guess...Though a fairly random (and kinda dumb) thread...You don't get to choose your Magical innate anyways, it's based on your inner strength! :lol:

As of Feb 12, 2005, with 11 voters...

Lightning, but in Japanese I'm heaven.    5 (14.3%)
Fire. Burn, baby, burn.    5 (14.3%)
Water, and I mean _water_, not ice.    2 (5.7%)
Water, but only below the freezing point.    3 (8.6%)
Shadow. I'm a master of all the elements.    16 (45.7%)
None, but my lasers do shadow damage.    2 (5.7%)
None, magic is for those who can't fight with their hands.    2 (5.7%)

I'm just posting this because I'm reopening it (which should allow you to see which you voted for now).

I have no idea if I voted in the poll before...It allowed me to vote, so either I didn't or else it allowed me to vote again after reopening it...Either way, there's one more for Shadow!

I'll have to say Shadow. It's a lot more useful and versatile than the others. Just imagine how many around-the-house applications it could have! You want to cook something, just cast a water spell into a pot and use a fire spell to bring it to boil. You'll have Light to use as a flashlight or make a small breeze when it's too hot, and you have Shadow for any little curse you need. Roommate snoring to loud? Mute him, or make yourself deaf!

I like swords. Swords with fire, shadow, lightning, water, ice, heaven, laser, etc. A magical sword.

I pick sword magic. Whatever that employs.

I'd probably get stuck with Light, but I'd much rather have an offensive element like Fire or Shadow.

Fire? No thanks I have lighter.
Water? It is obvious. I adequately money supplied, enough to pay water bill charge .....
Ice? I have refrigerator, and my electric supply should be enough.
Lightning? I have lamp dude.....
Shadow? I thought the physic law say that ray of light create shadow?
Laser? It is 5 buck on market, and I can buy a handful of them. Or did you mean shoop da woop?


Ok, enough terrible sarcasm.

I like color Blue, but I don't like the way it resembled water. But freezing someone is fun and being capable of changing climate is awesome!
So, go Ice.

Also, while I agree, kid123, that Truthordeal probably should have left out the lame ZOAH'D MEME JOKE (what's that quote in my sig say?), you probably shouldn't have made a post about it.

And idk what physics law you're referring to, but I think that pretty much everything casts a shadow, if that helps...but Magic rarely follows the laws of physics anyhow...being Magic, after all. :lol:

Post by: GenesisOne on July 08, 2009, 01:08:13 am
I chose Lightning over Shadow for one logical reason and one personal reason.

Shadow is not the opposite of Light.  Shadow is the absence of light.  Why?  Light has substance and because it’s a form of energy.  I can have normal light, bright light, burning light, dim light, or no light.  I can’t have Shadow because it has no substance.  If it did, I could make darkness darker.  Perhaps this is why Magus is so moody and gloomy all the time; not just because of his past incidents, but also because his element is something he can’t truly feel or embrace, but simply project with his will.

Also, there is the appeal of Shadow.  With all magic elements rolled into one, it’s the “easy way out” as opposed to Light where one works hard for their ultimate technique.  I prefer to work hard for my magic, because there is no substitute for hard work.  Can you honestly say that Shadow isn’t an instant solution to your magical woes?

Post by: V_Translanka on July 08, 2009, 01:25:10 am
Technically, without the sun there would be nothing but shadow. So its not so much as a shadow is being cast as a light is being shone...or is that a chicken & the egg kind of thing? Either way, even fire is capable of having a shadow was my main point, but I covered myself fairly well with that "pretty much" line, but mainly because I don't think protons and neutrons and quarks or w/e cast shadows...

GenesisOne, you're thinking more physically, not Magically (which of course is your right to base your choice on)...In Magic, Shadow is created with a combination of Lightning/Heaven, Fire and(/or?) Water...Magus, using Shadow, has access to all of the Elements...Robo's got all but Water, himself (Spekkio just didn't bother to cover his later Techs I guess)...

Without light, there wouldn't be any shadows at all; there'd just be darkness. Shadows are specifically an obstruction of light.

I don't think so. Since one must know the other three in order to have Shadow, that would mean it requires more effort, not less.

Fuck yeah, who wants to mess with the front of their expensive refrigerator/freezer? Don't lessen any of them...How about look at how cool each can be...

Fire=Flame Thrower. Incendiary Grenades & other massive explosives. Very cool. Makes me think of Vietnam (wars in general, but Vietnam the most), GTA, mayhem & anarchy.

Water=Hurricane? Tsunami? Whirlpool? High-pressure hose? Well, either way it makes me think of the awesome & destructive power of nature...and, uh...the civil rights movement?

Ice=...uhhh...Mr. Freeze's ice gun? MMX's Chill Penguin? Batman & Megaman, obviously, and thus awesome NES games.

Lightning=Lightning. Lightning is like Fire that always has somewhere better to be.

Shadow=Black Holes & Dark Matter. You don't fuck with this shit.<-PERIOD

I think we all already know the coolness factor of lasers & Ayla's bewbs so I won't go over them...

Shadows can only be found where light is present, but they are connected to an even deeper darkness that is ever-present, hiding from the light and waiting for the time when it will rule again, when all lights eventually go out. It could be said, that Shadow, as an extension of that deeper darkness, is the most powerful element there is, and it would be, if not for Light or Lightning, as is portrayed in this game. Light shreds apart the darkness, and in it's wake, it brings along the form of reality, colors that were before unknown, unnoticed. Light magic, in itself, belongs to pure entity. A being of innocence and hope, but not necessarily peaceful, such as Crono. He was a being that was pure of heart. For a lot of real life people, that purity is impossible to obtain, having seen too much in our lifetimes to really remain innocent. That is why Shadow magic appeals to so many people. Darkness within ones heart usually tempts one to follow a path of shadow.

I contemplated this, and actually thought about which element I would actually be. I thought about Fire, because like Lucca, I have some knowledge of electronic materials. Maybe not the same amount of knowledge, but a base amount. And I like fire.

Ice definitely wouldn't be my element because I can't even go into the water of a lake on a 90 degree day without sitting there freezing. Ice ain't my thing.

Water? Yeah, no. Can't even swim, enough said.

And, I'm definitely not a fighter, or a robot with cool lasers, so that's out, too.

As I mentioned above, Light, or Lightning, is the most powerful magic there is, due to the purity of it. It can not be wielded by one that is not pure, because it is used to pierce the darkness that envelops all else in the absence of light. I am simply unworthy.

Therefore it is fairly obvious into which class of magic I would fall, having given my explanations above. It isn't something I would choose for myself, given the option, but it is what I would be, given the reality.

I picked the last option, I've always been more of a melee character in all the games I play, although if I were to choose an element, I've always liked the Ice/Lightning combo.

Lightning. Forget the holy stuff, I've been into electricity and all its wonders since Raiden in MK 1.

i think id be a shadow person. either that or fire. for shadow, i could control all the elements of the world and have a good excuse to stay inside with my laptop. fire, i would be able to inspire with my musish flame and keep the world warm when the sun goes out.
but i think ill just stick with the best element of all time:
the BUCKY element.
