What would it feel like if you were hit by a magical firebal : IV

» Mon May 24, 2010 5:05 am

so what do you think you would feel if you were hit by a magical fireball or electricuted by the next person that touched you with an open hand ???

what would it feel like if some one casted a soul trap at you ?? or put you under a command spell ?? what would you be thinking if you were shot with an arrow of calming ???

or other such magical effects

(and lets assume your not your character but a weak by-stander that would die if hit with anything that did damadge twice in a row )

"Oh [censored] oh [censored] oh [censored] oh [censored] oh [censored] oh [censored] oh [censored] that really hurts, ow oh [censored] why [censored] why ow!"
Something like that I think....

I think you'd just be burned/shocked/or frozen by their respective spells.

Deterioration spells would just make your clothes/weapon fall off, and wither away.

Basically, I don't think it's too hard to imagine, some that might go unexplained would be Soul Trap, in which case I guess a person just might feel complete emptiness on the inside, but thats about it.

When you're charmed you'll inexplicably just start liking someone, when calmed, you'll just decide to chill, etc..

Elemental damage I know how it feels to some extent, but as I have never suffered burns of any kind to a high degree all over.
I can only guess shear agony followed by system shock, deadening of nerves, followed by weeks of unbearable pain if not instant death.

Disintergrate I see as rusting, verdigris, flaking followed by the complete break down of all molecular cohesion.
Reflect spells, I like to imagine as like bouncing on jelly ( jello for none brits ).
Charmed I think a euphoric rush when near to the charmer would take place.
Frenzy, don't have to think, imagine Sean Bean in 28 weeks later straight after getting infected.
Calm, drugged.
Absorbtion, probably a violating experience imo.
Commanded, probably a very scary experience with no control over your actions, but still able to think in a fuddled manner.
Damage health, razor blades through flesh and soul imo.
Soul trap, I like Holy's idea, but will add a pulling, tugging, strugling sensation to the mix.
Burden, as how it makes me feel in game, like a bloody useless rock.
Drain, lethargic. sick.
Weakness to, a uncomfetable tingling and humming throb pulsing through the body.

Since Soul Trap does nothing until you're dead, I don't think you'd feel anything when the spell hits, and you're not feeling anything if it works.

I wouldn't know what it feels like. My character does though. Here's a snip from her journal:

* * *
The undead apparition, of course, ignored the effect. I could see a globe of energy growing between his ghostly fingers, as my own hand began to form a glow that could turn the undead. The wraith was faster, and my spell fizzled as an icy blast of magic engulfed me, forcing the air from my chest.

A reassuring twang from behind me announced an arrow that interrupted the spirit's next attack.

After failing another frantic attempt to cast my spell, I realized the wraith had cursed my magic. The spirit was upon me now and raised a glowing hand. Once again, the snap of Alawen's bowstring heralded an arrow that that caused a momentary pause. I was able to raise my bow, only to have it nearly knocked from my hand as the spirit swept it aside. His other hand struck my shoulder with a frigid blow of such jarring force, I was knocked from my feet.

On my back now, I brought up my knees and bow defensively as I prayed for Alawen to shoot faster. Another arrow only slightly delayed the icy hand that raked freezing tracks across the front of me and dislodged the bow from my chilled fingers. Alawen's next two arrows allowed only one more such numbingly cold strike before the wraith looming over me, with a final wail, transformed into a rain of green slime.

The ranger was instantly kneeling beside me. "Buffy, can you hear me? Talk to me!"

I was still on my back with knees and arms drawn up in front of me, shivering uncontrollably. "C- c- cold."

A potion appeared against my lips. Alawen helped me to drink the soothing liquid, much of it running down my chin and joining the ectoplasm that covered me. The shivering eased a bit.

Man, Acadian. I love your stuff. :foodndrink:

It's like sticking your tongue on a galvanized lamp pole in -10° weather. Times 42. Alternatively like putting your hand on a hot stove times 67.

Random person : "Are you calm now?"

Since Acadian beat me to Frost, here is how Teresa felt after being hit by multiple lightning bolts:

Then one of the Teresa's poisoned arrows buried itself under the dremora's extended right arm, piercing the weaker mail there. The dremora let go of his mace and fell to one knee. That gave the magician behind him room to see however, and the next thing Teresa knew lightning was dancing in front of her eyes.

Her body burned, and she could not restrain the scream that tore through her lips. Most of the pain subsided a moment later, and shaking her head, she found herself lying on the floor, smoke curling up from her frame. She tried to rise, but agony lanced through her belly, causing her to fall back to the floor. Looking down, she saw that her leather and hide cuirass had virtually disintegrated, and she hoped the blackened mass she saw beneath it was only the linen tunic she wore underneath, and not her flesh.

Her heart was a hammer in her chest. She had to do something, she realized, or they were all doomed. She saw Volsinius struggling to pull the mace tip from his stomach, now on his knees in front of the dremora who had stabbed him. Simplicia stepped beside him and pummeled at the dremora with her axe, yet its armor was strong, and her blows fell away with no obvious effect. Still, mace lost, and poison coursing through its body, the dremora did not rise to strike back at the beggar.

Then the dremora mage filled Teresa's vision, and she saw its staff lower. Agony shot through her body as once again lightning engulfed her. The stench of burning meat filled her nostrils, and the shrill sound of screaming was in her ears. The entire world vanished into a haze of white hot anguish.

When the room swam back into view, Teresa found Simplica standing over the body of the dremora mage, bloody axe in hand. Behind her lay the dremora maceman, glassy eyes staring at the ceiling overhead. Volsinius lay face-down nearby, and the wood elf was not sure if he still breathed or not.

Not bad for us if it hits Jessica Alba, but very bad for us if it hits Danny DeVito. I guess it's an AoE damage spell. :ninja:
