"Let's Talk About Magic"-Part 2: Magic P&A/Potency Revision & Explanation Page

Status
Not open for further replies.
In my second sandbox I listed a few non magic users who resist magic. I probably don't know every character who resists magic stuff like hellfire, so I welcome people to inform me but I would ask that they bring scans as support
Well Captain Marvel is one. She has resisted a spell from The traveller to age her I put as Age manipulation resistance on her profile
Resisting the attacks of Robbie
She was fine after being hit by Penance stare

She can also absorb magic which sort of counts as resistance right?
magic[30]

Another thing that I'm curious about is Hulkling with his sword that nulls magic, would something change for him too?

Looks fine to me.

His power null would receive a huge boost in capability and potency.
 
Does the abilities that aren't spelled out for us being High 1-B to Low 1-A just 4-D by default or what?
Btw, just to be sure on this, what do you think of the following giving 1 layer of the powers/resistances of basic magic P&A (Concept hax, space-time manip, info manip, soul manip, etc.) to High-Tier and Sorcerer Supreme level magicians?:

 
I was already planning a Storm crt so this is some of what I've got on her magic if helps.

Storm descends from a line of godheads. Defeated Tarn the Uncaring within the Well Beyond the Worlds due to his own overconfidence and her knowledge of magic. Storm was one of the other High Priestess draws along with Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness. Has been trained by Ashake about using her abilities while astral projecting.
It does help.

Seems even like it'd be enough to bump Storm up from Low-Level Sorceress to High-Tier Sorceress
 
The magic revisions looks ok, plus with the comic panel for the norse stuff it helps solidify plot hax being blatant and it not being vague.

the 1 layer hax is fine given the showings of bypassing basic magic user resistances.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much!

Just wanted to avoid having to get it double-checked in the layer revision thread and what not, so I greatly appreciate this.
 
So long as you just get it evaluated in general in a CRT you should be fine, especially if it's a series that didn't have layered hax prior to the standard change.
Noted.

Though with how inconsistent Marvel scaling is, magic stuff included, one layer was all I felt could be attained here.
 
Added his resistance to Hellfire
Sentry (The Void):
Strange had lost the majority of his magic when the Void absorbed him due to Zelma using the Sands of Nishanti to null it, so I'm not sure.

He would have basic magic and resistance to high-tier sorcerery, since even Sorcerer Supreme Loki (Ikol) wasn't sure if they could beat him.
and what of Beta Ray Bill who almost have similar powers as Thor
No idea if he has the same Asgardian magic.
 
Btw, grace has passed and this thread has been unanimously accepted including by 5 voting staff members, so a huge thank you to everyone who made this possible!

I'll gradually edit pages one by one to make sure the additions are added properly (in addition to transferring all the contents of my sandbox to a new "official" page).
Wouldn't Doom's higher-end Absorption feats be performed through his Power Cosmic Siphon Harness, especially if Doom absorbing the Beyonder is directly referenced?
Yeah I just removed that part for your reasoning.
 
Here's the official page:


Now to take things slow, I'd first like to have just the following pages opened:

Doctor Doom
Doctor Strange
Clea
Umar
Dormammu

After I get those done properly, I'll move on to the other ones.
 
This was... one hell of a read, I mean damn, my head is still spinning trying to grasp the sheer amount of story and lore that went into making all the Magic page. Excellent work, dude. I really mean it.
Coming from someone who has made their own massive kick-ass sandboxes on the site, that really means a lot, so thank you my friend.

Sheer amount of story and lore is an understatement lol, I read over 500 issues bare minimum lol

Oh yeah, the scale of the research. I noticed when I finally reached the references the many issues that were used, and the many different artworks showed the many eras that were covered.

It helps that I read literally every Doctor Strange issue I could find in his mainstream "storyline", from his first appearance in "Strange Tales (1951) #110" in 1963 to his most recent appearance in "Doctor Strange (2023) #14"

And the number of references wasn't even the max possible, it was just that all the scans already had the sources in the Imgur links so I decided after a while that, while the footnotes did make things look nicer, it wasn't totally necessary since it did eat up quite a bit of time.

Actually covering the complete storyline of a comic book character from beginning to it's most recent end. I hath believed such accomplisment beyond human capability.

Yeah, I see your point. With the huge number that accumulates as the document grows it becomes too time consuming and exhausting. Not to mention it makes it a pain to look at the code if you need to revisit to correct something.
 
Btw if there are any magic using/resisting Marvel characters I missed in my 2nd sandbox, feel free to lemme know before the thread closes so I can add it to their profiles.

Only one I can remember is the Black Knight and his Ebony Blade. It deflects magic and even absorbs if I remember correctly.
 
Honestly, while their profiles mention magic, neither provides any scans for it so I'm not sure if that should stay, since Skurge doesn't even seem like a magic user.
I'm not sure either, I don't know them very well I just read a comic recently with She hulk and Hellcat and made me remember of her.
Thanks, since Minoru I know is a sorcereress (just look at her profile pic)
Minoru is not exacly big but it's somehow popular, although I'm not sure on what level she would get because she is limited by the staff to use only a spell only once.

She had a issue dedicated partially to her in the Mystic Arcana series, but yeah she has needed the staff to do magic IIRC

I read runaways, and I know she even become a teacher on strange academy. I know her staff is a prison to a magic entity, actually her ancestors were much more powerful than the entity there they were the ones who locked him there, but Nico never unlocked her real power, but she does have magic "in her blood" so she is limited to the staff

So she resists magic naturally but needs the staff to use it.

Actually she can use spells on her own but she is basically a newbie without it

Looks alright.
