“We need to escape,” said Allera definitively. If the Beorin discovered they were wanted by the Kkhlei…

Allera shivered.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Certainly. But we won't be able to by any conventional means."

"I doubt they need dime-a-dozen magic users like you. People like me and Variance, sure. But you are rather expendable."

Variance frowned at Shim. "I don't think that's fair. It's also not an idea."

Welcome back. The conversation has yet to go very far.

"Fine, you want an idea? We go along with them for now, and find a way to escape later."

"Actually, Strohger," Ayia said, "your magic works by... he said it's some kind of domain-type thing?"

Did he ever explain the "flagging" thing to her or...?

Yes he did

"Have you flagged any of this ship yet?" She asked. "And are you always consciously aware of what areas you have control over?"

Double quote and I do not know why

"Of course. That's why I've been trying to waste time. And I can sense air, but not sense with it, if that makes sense. I can definitely tell what's been flagged and what hasn't though."

"Is it possible to take a flagged area? Conventionally, anyway."

"Like, get rid of it? Yes. But it works in general areas, but time is a great filter for flagging.

Hedric shapes may or may not allow this but we ignore that

"Then I suspect it won't be long before they've eliminated your flag," she replied, "and protected the entire area from any further manipulation."

"There is absolutely no way that a flag can be removed. That defies existence. They can't do anything to the air really, without hedra and stuff like that. And they don't have hedra. Or we would know. And flags are permanent. They aren't like scent markers or colored air, they're invisible, and affect general areas, and are permanent. That's like the first rule of Tempest."

"Rules of magic are often not so concrete as we assume." Shim chuckled. "Especially when more systems of magic are added in."

The entire foundation of tempest is based upon flags being permanent, that is the ultimate reason why tempest is very underwhelming.

"This one is absolute. No matter what."

"There are ways to stop you from placing markers though, correct?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"That's the problem with mixing magic between universes. The rules are different everywhere - and generally speaking, your own magic will be weaker away from your home universe. Sometimes you'll lose access to it entirely, depending on where it's sourced. As for your permanent flags... there are millions of magic systems that Beorin has access to that are just as immutable, and with enough fenangling they could probably find a way to work around yours in a matter of hours. When unstoppable forces meet immovable objects, it's however you design the terrain that determines what ultimately comes out on top."

Ayia crossed her arms over his chest. "If I had to guess, they don't have anything at their immediate disposal to directly counteract your Tempest. The best-case scenario for us is that they stop your domain from spreading after awhile, but the worst is that they can compress it down somewhat. Either way you'll probably still have access to your powers, but they'll be significantly more limited than they would be on your homeworld."

Normally, Otherside would be around. Now if it was around in this universe... There will be chaos. So I'll let you make the call on that one. It would certainly be more... Limiting.

"I can tell if my air is being moved. For instance, I can tell where the ventilation shaft is in the first room we came through. My powers... They are much stronger here. They aren't chained by consequences or responsibility. I can use them much more liberally here than ever before. Or well, probably. Most likely." 

[Channelknight Fadran]

I'm still sticking to the "has to somewhat follow the general laws of physics" thing so that we don't have to worry about any runaway multiverse collapsing stuff... but tell me more about this Otherside stuff anyway.

(Also I know you said that "using Tempest attracts other Tempest users" was a magic system limitation, but like... no? That's a consequence. It's not baked into the magic system itself, so doesn't really count as a limitation in the classical sense).

(Not that that changes anything, though).

The Beorin could probably prevent him from marking more air somehow, correct? Perhaps by imitating his markers. And they could contain already marked air using magic or some other means.

The Otherside is basically reality suffering massive tears, hyper energy leaking in, and evil forces cominbin through said rifts as a result of usage of the fourth. (The source behind the powers of strohger). It could be intresting but also with great responsibility comes great power so he "could" rip open a massive hole in reality and destroy everything. Does that make the decision better?

Tempest does not attract other tempest. Uh. That might be the Elsepower, which is an alternative to Otherside, but would be much lamer. Its just a big force that (is similar to a high storm) hunts down excessive magic usage, although it still hunts even if no magic is being used and exists regardless of usage of power.

Additionally, if we really have to I could change his powers to Winter, which is generated water-based structures that don't use flags ir weirdness.

They've never seen someone from King's folly universe before so they wouldn't have imitated his magic, or the flags wouldn't have interfered. It's too unlikely to be probable

They've seen a ton of universes though, and presumably have access to countless magics. I think they'll figure it out quickly.
