Probably earth since it's just super-hot rock, not fire.
You don't get the joke?
Obviously not which is why I've never done it. It does give me free reign to bullshit any spell within my school of magic, though. If my character can use fire magic then it really doesn't matter whether that manifests in fireballs, or flaming punches, or flamethrowers, or whatever. It's all fire magic and it's all as powerful as an A-rank can manage.
NEVER DONE IT? Do you even listen to yourself sometimes or look through a stain glass mirror?
Xira has talisman magic, which might I remind, is practically limitless (Which I'm fairly certain you yourself stated in your CS. Lets look. ).
This gives her magic a near limitless level of versatility ranging anywhere from binding and summoning to massive earth-shattering attacks. The more complex and magic intensive a spell is the more talismans are required.
The single greatest weakness of Talisman Magic is the talismans themselves. Once utilized a talisman will burn up requiring her to create a replacement.
The problem with this Ambiguous nature, is that while that is a weakness, you never state which talisman's she has on hand, how many she has on hand and as such you can negate ANY GIVEN CONFRONTATION. So being an A-rank means little if anyone can be negated their very magic. How many does she have? Yeah that spell cost 12 talismans, WE don't know how many she has on hand. Nor where does she keep them? What is drawn on them? Do she have a bag? Does she keep them in her vagina?
You have a weakness but it isn't one because you haven't specified the logistics of it. It is like me saying "Valken is weak against One type of colored light." But never stating that color, and when a fight saying. "Yeah, not that one."
I know you. I know how you play. I know you won't listen.
But maybe that is the reason you have 4 characters and only One is being role played right now.
So define your magic or sit in your corner, alone.
I have no idea why the random hostility but I repeat myself in saying I have never done it. When has Xira been in a fight, exactly? Oh, right, that character has literally never been in one single fight. The entire reason I explicitly stated in the CS that her talismans were limited is because I would reveal how many she has during the fight, but she has never been in a fight. And the fact that you take a character's combat capabilities and go "well since you didn't tell me exactly what they can do at all times, I'm not gonna rp with you" is a bit much. I like to think my characters have nothing to do because I haven't been outgoing with them. The idea that people are actively avoiding rping with my characters because of something THEY NEVER HAD TO EVEN DEAL WITH is more than a little disheartening to put it lightly.
At no point in this entire RP have I ever stepped above my station. In every single fight, every single one of them, where my character fought another character I either relied on dice roles (I.E. when I fought Genon in the tournament) or common sense (I.E. when I got my ass beat by swift at Malnia or LeSora in the tournament). I have NEVER just pulled uber magic out of my ass to bullshit my way to victory. And yet you're here writing up big ass posts ranting at me for something I have never done? You're saying my characters are being ignored because of something I have never done? Aint gonna lie, that's a really fucking low blow.

That's really fucking rich considering you have done that with Xira. You godmodded the fuck out of both Rosa and Kazuo when they got into a fight.
You have actually. Zuka is talking about when you had Xira godmod in to fully restrain Rosaline and sap her magic.
Then there is clearly a misunderstanding as I talked about Xira doing that very thing when Rosa threatens to blow up the guild hall and Zuka gave absolutely no indication she was against the idea. More over, I view slice of life conflicts in a different light than actual combat. I think back on my DnD campaigns and you didn't need to roll for initiation or roll for damage or roll to hit just to punch your teammate over drunken argument at the pub. Those things were for actual legitimate combat. Doing the magical equivalent of grabbing someone in a fight and being all "yo dude calm down" isn't something that requires rules and regulations in my mind. Clearly I stand alone in that belief. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
Even in those scenarios your magic must be the same power level as it would be in combat, which it clearly wasn't, or else you'd be breaking the very rules about ranking you like so much.
It was at the same level it would be in combat. I never specified the extent that it effected Rosa. I never did what I do with Gilad and just went "you're fucked" because I don't have that authority here, Xira and Rosa are the same rank. Which is why Rosa zapped out of the chains. Other than specifying how many talismans Xira had there was nothing different about the spell than what I would use in actual combat.
I'd call "stripping away her control over the electricity" rather specific. Good to know that you think overwhelming an opponent at the same rank is an even fight. It'll really clear up confusion in the future.
This is why I hate when people just bitch behind closed doors and don't actually talk to the person until they blow up and get pissy. Reading my post yes, I could have worded that better. However had you people talked to me about it instead of just being silent up until the day you decide to accuse me of godmodding I would have explained it that it simply hindered her ability to cast her giant hall-destroying spell. I didn't mean it stripped her of ALL her control of ALL electricity. It basically short-circuited that one specific spell. Hence why I gave no fucks when she broke free, because the spell was never intended to be THAT strong. Completely stripping the target of their magic is what Gilad does and Xira's obviously nowhere near that strong.
But instead of talking to me, instead of having me clear up my poorly-worded post you just sit there and silently think I'm some godmodding asshole.

You can't nitpick others then get angry when others nitpick you. The reality of this matter is that with that wording you made it so that you could have made the claim that she was in fact blocking ALL control of Rosaline's magic, regardless of intent. Futhermore, while rps aren't always linear stories, you still had Xira burst in, cutting off several plans before they could start and ending a situation that could have been used for character development (more than what occurred) prematurely. Not just that, but you had her come in before Kazuo could reply despite him being closer and Xira being essentially uninvolved.
"Once in place all the talismans began to glow with the same yellow tint as Rosa, stripping away her control over the electricity while seemingly absorbing the magical energy directly."
Sounds like complete stripping to me.
I don't mind people nitpicking me. I do mind people accusing me of godmodding because they didn't bother to even fucking try to talk to me. If the wording seemed too strong then why didn't you people ever fucking say anything? Why am I hearing about this for the first time today? Over a week since I made that post? Also you're seriously saying I shouldn't get involved? What's the point of RPing if you can't involve yourself in what's going on? Nobody bitched about you waltzing in and putting spears to everyone's throats. Or Hud walking in and trapping them in bubbles of sound.
Note the word THE. Stripping her control over THE electricity. As I have already explained the intention of the spell was to negate her hall destroying attack, not all her magic. But instead of asking me to clarify you decide to wait over a week before bitching at me in OOC. Then again you taking jabs at nothing new now days.
1. The difference being that I actually discussed doing what I did OOC before just commandeering the situation. Also, we don't talk to you because you never listen, you just argue your point and refuse to give ground. I have seen nothing else.
2. I did not the word "the", which can also refer to her electricity magic, not just that spell specifically.
I'm the type of RPer that believes planning every little thing out defeats the point of RP. I never expect anyone to seek my approval in OOC for every action their character takes because that isn't RP at that point. Also that's 100% bullshit. There isn't even one single instance since this RP's creation where someone tried to talk to me about something and I just shut them down. In fact I can go through and find dozens of examples of people asking me questions and I give them the best answer I can. You're just making excuses because you didn't want to speak up to me but now you feel it's acceptable to bash me. And if you didn't notice the word 'the' then ALL THE MORE REASON TO TALK TO ME. This ENTIRE argument stems from you people refusing to talk like civilized human beings and instead choosing to just silently seethe for a week before blowing up in my face.
Honestly, take a step back and put yourself in my shoes. Imagine you're just RPing like normal, you're having fun, as far as you're aware there's nothing wrong. Nobody's said anything, OOC chat with the people involved is the same old shit it always is. And then at one point, some random ass fucking time over a week after you made your post, several people suddenly jump on you for godmodding. How the fuck do you think that'd make you feel? Talk about fucking blindsided. If you have an issue with someone you have two options, either you keep it to yourself or you talk to them before you get pissy. You decided to choose the one bad option in this situation.
The point of rp is entertainment. Recreation. Enjoyment. You're the one whose defeating the point of rp when you constantly dick everyone else over and sucking all possible fun out of it.

I have never seen you admit to wrongdoing, neither have others who have been here longer than I have. What I have seen is mental gymnastics and self-righteousness.
Also, this is not just some random time, this is the culmination of many different events. You simply aren't fun to rp with, that's the bottom line. That's what's showing up here.
You never see me admit to any wrongdoing because nobody ever accuses me of wrongdoing except on very rare occasions like right now. And in this situation the only wrongdoing on my part was not being clear enough in my post.
