...and Ben gets the Malley-Vision?
That'd be awesome.
That would be the first guess, but another is that both of them gain the vision, or part of it. And then there is the question of can it be reversed?. Since he can only steal what he does not have, Voss would not be able to take the vision away if they both had it.
I think he could steal whatever share of the vision Ben got. If he got any share at all, that is.
Voss' talent was described as letting him steal whatever ability he didn't have. So if he has gained any degree of ability to see spirits, he can no longer steal that ability from others no matter what amount of ability he or they may have. So unless Voss got nothing, Ben is "safe".
I don't think that is how it works.
And besides, Voss wouldn't have Ben's share of it. One of the defining traits of envy is that, even if everyone has the same amount of stuff as you, you still want it.
If Mr Thackeray could see the malforms as well as desummon them, then he could decrease his workforce by one third, which is certainly going to help his competitiveness against Herr Voss' operation and he won't have to clean up so often.
Just what I was thinking!
I would guess the vision will go loose through the town, big panic \\o/
Voss takes an Attack of Opportunity when trying to use his spell-like ability? >.>
Nah, that was a readied action. The trigger is "O'Malley does something idiotic" and the specified action is "stop him". He spends most of his standard actions on it.
Nerrrrrrrds! :)
See kids, all problems really can be solved with violence
If violence isn't solving your problem...you clearly aren't using enough of it.
also...everything is legal as long as there are no cops around...I learned that gem from a Disney cartoon.
Same here!
Okay. Normally I dislike Ben. But not right now. I think he's won me over here.
And the worst case scenario had just happened. The spell was disrupted and we all know that magic sight isn't natural. I am willing to bet that "spirit vision" goes wild since it isn't tethered to anyone at the moment.
Ah, the simple solutions are the best!
Oh...
OH MY GOODNESS
BEN HAS GOT DA POWA
OH MY GOODNEEEEEEESS THIS WAS ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED BEN YOU HEROIC FOOL
Unless, y'know, I'm completely wrong and it just bounces back to Mal. CURSES WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR FRIDAY TO KNOW
I love it: the "if in doubt, pull the plug" school of thought. ^_^
Oh, Ben. You are awesome. I always knew it!
Woah. Maybe the vision is just lost, since it was pulled out of Mal but no one received it?
Oh man that would both be horrible and exciting cuz MAN will Wolfe be pissed :D
What is happening/what happens next might depend on how Mal got the vision in the first place, and if that green squirk is JUST vision or a package of stuff. Spose we turn around and find out that Mal the Human is really a . . . a . . .
Man, that stealing ray was slow if Ben could talk to himself so much!
OMG OMG just received my copy of Darken :D woohoo thank youse much Kate!
Well, well, well, the Mage interrupts the spell with an attack!
And swearing, too!
And the funniest part is that Mal was probably too caught up in the magic beam to catch it.
Aha!
NOO
Ben to the rescue! Kinda!
uhp! You blinked.
Got to take another one.
=)
