He swings a tent pole, aiming for the head. Quote Yes, you two can draw from the same wind; regenerating life force doesn’t dry up some sort of well, it just benefits from the presence. But neither of you can get it from your own winds. Lemme set up a hypothetical similar to the “oscillation”. Two people are playing tennis, with two spare tennis balls. They hit a ball between them, and they technically have a continuous supply of tennis balls even though the keep hitting them away. The moment the tennis ball goes over the fence (or wall, or whatever barrier), neither of them have it anymore. It is gone from the equation, and they only have access to two. The moment one of you uses a small amount of power to do something else, that power is gone from the equation. The creature dives to the right, taking the blow on its side. It is flung down, but it comes for Cole to claw at him.

I saw it then didn’t have time to reply, then forgor about it. At the shout, the creature flinched back, and stopped itself from clawing Cole. It screeched, angry for the unnatural fear it felt. After hesitating, it launched itself at Felicity. 1

It is flung down, but it comes for Cole to claw at him. Cole jumps, stumbles, and flies backwards. He has no true idea of how to fight, but his higher reach with the tent pole is counteracting that. Quote Ah! First, because the power both fuels and can perform actions if used to make wind, this makes it last much longer, even if there is inherent loss. Secondly, if three people with the same magic work together, one can create and the other two can retrieve enough power to also create things, powering the other two.

So even if one wind generated by someone can power two people, the amount of life force they would get from it would be too low to recreate it. They only get power from the portion of the current they block, so if there is a big, giant wind that is slightly slow, they would get almost nothing from the wind. If it were concentrated on the one person, though, they would get much more. (hey. I designed this with temperature in mind. Stop making me think through it in a different way. [don’t even get me started on emotion; I thought that one out]) Cole’s stomach began to ache. A single drop of blood fell from his brow. The creature, however, who was using much more life force, seemed to be slowing, and when its feet hit the ground, they left bloody footprints. Felicity could feel a large amount of a… harsh emotion emanating from the man. He had stumbled shortly before he would have collided, and he made a gasping sound, then retreating. He was dripping blood. Edited October 23, 2024 by SpiritOfWrath

Madness lent him some psychopathy, but that made him unable to fear the consequences of losing too much life force. ->-<- @Dragonheir The Burnt Man yelled. “Do it! While he is WEAK!” 30 minutes ago, DaveSouls said: Quote You’re with me. Imma jump a bit, say we’ve travelled some. Important scene coming up. Retlen walked with the new soldier, leading him to the bonfire, where his other men sat. In the end, only fire can cleanse us. Retlen straightened, the narrowed his eyes. What would you wish me to do? The fire. If you truly believe in purity, allow the fire to cleanse you of your impurities. Retlen stood in front of his men, raising his voice with a zealot’s rage. “Men! If you believe in our cause, you will follow me in this path to be cleansed, starting with the refining of a fire!” And with this, he threw himself into the fire. He felt strangely invigorated by the intense heat, and felt vastly stronger. “Join me, or prove your heresy!” He yelled from the flames. One man grinned, throwing himself into the fire. He was unharmed, and joined him. One other man shoved another into the fire, then leapt in himself. The man was unharmed, but the one he shoved screamed of pain, quickly collapsing then dying. A voice appeared to Arel. Do it do it do it do it do it

So he catches the man’s arm, and holds it still so he can actually use the saw. (I will not describe that further, partially because I have no idea what a saw would do to human flesh.)

Sure, she had briefly talked to “herself”, but that man had been doing so for hours, in a near constant one-sided conversation. She would definitely follow Mirth’s advice and try to avoid him.
