doran Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 If you reduced your mass so much you were less dense than air, couldn't you use it to hover like a balloon, and control your height by finetuning your mass? As such does this mean that Coinshots aren't the only ones who can 'fly'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeshdan he/him Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think the only problem is that your ironmind would still keep you down. But good thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus Ex Biotica Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Wax actually does fill his Ironminds until he's no longer staying on the ground very well. However, there's really no way to steer without Iron/Steel Alchemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvoryRoad he/him Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) You could blow in the opposite direction you wanted to travel. As long as there's no wind, you could pull it off. I can see it now... PUFF-MAN. You know it's him because you hear him coming, on account of the heaving breaths he has to take.

Vortaan he/him Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Wouldn't that cause problems vis a vis the food in your stomach, etc? Becoming weightless tends to induce nausea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyuiop he/him Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think that Wax actually says at some point (can't find exact quote) that gaining weight doesn't make him more dense. I'm guessing that means that you don't actually lose density when storing weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall that Wax is thinking about density as far as his body not being perforated by bullets went, as I commented in this post.

Yeah. That particular branch of discussion has been just about talked empty. I think that nausea could be something easily trained out of yourself. If you do something enough, soon your body adapts to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
