| Aug 27, 2020 at 2:42 | comment | added | Li Jun | is it something like rasengan but made of compressed air? you say that you want the user unscathed or have focus effect or impact, so does that mean it cant be thrown or need to contact or connected with the person in limited range? i know your question is about best gas material for it, but maybe this detail can help find a suitable and safer gas you search for. | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 19:27 | comment | added | Halfthawed | @ITAlex No. In the magic system I have, that would count as a 'kinetic' type power, which is wholly distinct from a 'creation' type power. | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 18:00 | comment | added | IT Alex | @Halfthawed is there no way in the way the ability works to contain the air initially to just directionally open the "sphere" holding it all in? | |

| Aug 26, 2020 at 15:22 | comment | added | user69935 | Its not really related as its in microgravity and involves liquids but there are videos of bubbles of air within bubbles of water and repeated and the effects are pretty strange and cool youtube.com/watch?v=4zKLL167KOE | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 15:12 | comment | added | AlexP | Oxygen is plentiful in Earth's atmosphere because it is constantly replenished by photosynthetisizng organisms. In the absence of constant replenishment, the oxygen would be gone quite quickly (geologically speaking). | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 15:09 | comment | added | Halfthawed | @AlexP Oxygen occurs more commonly in Earth's atmosphere than sulfur hexafluoride. And all the gasses are created in an instant, then normal physics take over. | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 15:07 | comment | added | AlexP | "He can choose where any air is added within the sphere": gases have this property that they mix freely. You cannot keep two gases separated without a solid wall between them. | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 15:00 | comment | added | AlexP | In what way is molecular oxygen more "natural" than sulfur hexafluoride? At least sulfur hexafluoride is stable (that is, completely inert) in any conditions likely to be found on Earth. | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 14:59 | comment | added | Halfthawed | Putting the gasses in a sphere and then removing it isn't a bad way to visualize what is happening. | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 14:59 | comment | added | Halfthawed | @Salami-tsunami There's only a problem of accidental nuclear fusion if you add enough air, 'enough air' being increasing the pressure by several magnitudes, so I wouldn't worry about it, unless you plan on adding that much air, or if you create the extra air in the same literal space as the old air, but that's prevented by magic. | |

| Aug 26, 2020 at 14:39 | comment | added | Salami-tsunami | I don't know much, but there is also the problem of accidental nuclear fusion if you combine enough gas into a tight enough sphere with those limitations. Also, for clarification, is it like you put all the gas in a clear sphere, and then remove the sphere? | |
