A Joe in the Bush Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 In Steelheart, David figures out that Firefight is an illusionist due to a series of Pictures of Firefight, one of which Firefight disappeared because the illusionist lost concentration. But If Firefight isn't an illusion, is an actual Epic from a different universe, how does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I think it's because even though she isn't maintaining an illusion, she is consciously maintaining a window into the other universe. This probably takes concentration, which could be interrupted. Her interrupted concentration could be caught on camera, thus leading to David forming the faulty conclusion that she is an illusionist.

Argent Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Or the male!Firefight got out of range and Megan could no longer maintain her... interdimensional summon, for the lack of a better term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemlub Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I think it's easier to think of as projecting a different dimension, than summoning another universe. Because dimensions are infinite, what can be shown or done is similar to an illusionist. However, it sounds like the closer / or more likely the dimension to her own, the easier it is to project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dankworth Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Maybe she flew him past a window that had a candle burning, thus activating her weakness and dispelling her projection. Kobold King's probably right though; she most likely needs to concentrate to keep her extra-dimensional door/window/hologram thing running.
