>>5691186the magical relay works by sending /mechanical/ signals that are completely devoid of magic. another fact worth mentioning about the relay is that Blue, one of its creators, was stated to be a defector of the Order of the End
as for the brainwashing and stuff, if you can brainwash something over the cellphone then i guess it could be done somehow- but that's as far as you all know. there is a lot less room for bullshit when magic isn't involved- but isn't magic just very high tech? weird shit
>>5691189i reverse the con rolls so i can take the roll as the damage inflicted- it just makes calculations easier. luci has con 7, meaning that a pa 6 hit would have to be over 70 to even start inflicting damage. given that rita has con 6, the threshold from a pa 6 hit would be 50 instead. basically, con rolls aren't about whether something damage or not, they are about how much damage is inflicted.
