| Jun 17, 2021 at 1:13 | comment | added | DKNguyen | @I'mwithMonica Yuh. What's stopping you from making a unloaded magic bomb that's light and easy to get airborne that collects magic on the way down to detonate? | |
| Jun 16, 2021 at 20:48 | comment | added | Nepene Nep | Not necessarily no magic, some might accumulate in caves and indents, but less magic, yes. I wouldn't assume those on the ground have a short range, they could have very powerful ranged attacks. You'd need quite advanced technology to overcome that. | |
| Jun 16, 2021 at 10:01 | comment | added | I'm with Monica | @NepeneNep, but wouldn't flying the boring (physics based) way then be even more beneficial? You could get yourself out of range of those pesky magic users and use physics based weaponry to inflict pain on anyone not guarding their top as well as their left, right, front, and back... (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fliegerpfeil would be a starting point, but not the end of the line...) | |

| Jun 16, 2021 at 3:36 | comment | added | Aequitas | I'm pretty sure I read a book, where there were magic users but none of them could fly very high because the way they explained it was, that to fly with magic you have to push yourself off from the earth, so the further away you were the exponentially more difficult it was. I'm not entirely sure of the exact explanation but I think they may have used the moment arm as the reasoning. | |

| Jun 15, 2021 at 15:12 | comment | added | Nepene Nep | You're welcome. With this, if someone does invent physics based flight it will have a massive disadvantage vs people on the earth who can have magical shields and magical weapons. | |
| Jun 15, 2021 at 14:46 | comment | added | Argent Hellion | That's a... pretty damn unique way of looking at things. I might wanna delve into it, thank you for suggesting, have an upvote :D | |
