Something has to be containing it, so unless the characters went through an airlock to get there, you need magic to keep the air in its super dense state. | |
| Dec 4, 2016 at 5:24 | comment | added | JessLovely | Very well, I suppose you have a point. The "lore reason" part is less "make up why magic works for me" and more "please explain just what effects this magic would have should you take this route". Oh, and, the whole "effective range of a bow" thing was less a desired effect and more a frame of reference for how objects in this abyss would behave in general (objects would slow down and stop rather quickly, as if facing high air resistance, rather than drifting infinitely without decelerating, like space). | |
| Dec 4, 2016 at 5:09 | comment | added | kingledion | @Papayaman1000 Its hard for me to give a lore based reason without knowing the lore of your world. Asking people to make up lore for your world is off-topic at Worldbuilding. In any case, you asked for scientific assessment and I gave it. I think you should make up a magical reason to explain the last two, and that it shouldn't involve the density of air or gravity. Maybe magic removes inertia from all arrows, or accelerates all objects up at 9.8 m/s^2. | |

| Dec 4, 2016 at 4:26 | comment | added | JessLovely | So, basically, "Here's how the geology would work. However, I'm just going to say the other parts are physically impossible and not even going to try to discuss possible magic solutions aside from suggesting they're likely the only feasible method." I do like the geological suggestions, so I'm not downvoting this, but basically brushing off the most important part also demands I don't upvote this. | |
