I knew that hard expanding foam existed for things like home insulation, but I had no idea that the "containment foam" for controlling superhumans in Worm was based on a real thing. It's called riot foam or sticky foam and was deployed briefly in Somalia. | |

Assuming they can't willingly separate their bones (because magic), they'll be stuck in place. Once you have enough skeletons stuck in one place, fire up the steamroller and make bone meal! | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 16:58 | comment | added | Chris H | That foam would burn (though you wouldn't want to be downwind of it). That should help getting a pyre going. | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 12:33 | comment | added | Tim B | @JulianEgner Certainly possible. Easier to pilot (and piloting mistakes less likely to be lethal to the pilot!). | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 12:05 | comment | added | Julian Egner | @TimB what about a remote controlled drone? | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 11:34 | comment | added | Tim B | @JulianEgner Yep, or a helicopter - launching and landing a plane safely would be hard. Of course you'd still need a decent pilot so unless the protagonist happened to be one that is tricky | |

| Jan 9, 2019 at 11:28 | comment | added | Loid Thanead | There are limits to her ability to summon objects, mostly in terms of how big/many in how much time. She could prepare a lot of ammo beforehand, but not summon it 'on the go'. I didn't put an exact description in the question for fear of drowning readers in info | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 11:20 | comment | added | Tim B | @LoidThanead You said she can summon things though? I assume that includes ammo canisters for the foamers. (Incidentally what stops her just summoning a swimming pool full of foam over the top of the skeletal horde?) | |
| Jan 9, 2019 at 10:50 | comment | added | Loid Thanead | I really like this idea. It is definitely a very useful option when the number of enemies is small. I'm a bit concerned about ammo though, since it looks like you would need quite a bit of the foam to immobilize a single skeleton. You would also need to get relatively close to use this effectively. I've updated my question with some more context that I might not have made entirely clear initially. | |
