StanLemon Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Just like the title says, what are some fun ideas you think might be possible with Surges. I'll start with a thought that Abrasion could make pseudo force fields. By upping the friction of air to an absurd degree it might be possible to basically make a solid wall of air. 3
Quantus he/him Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Division should be capable of Lighting attacks like Stormform, by Dividing the charged particles in the air to create the electron imbalance that is Lightning. 3
Brgst13 Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Division should be capable of instigating fission by dividing uranium nuclei. Edgedancers could use their surge to be awesome chefs where nothing sticks to the pan. Progression could grow farm animals really fast. Illumination could create a mobile rock concert.

StanLemon Posted August 10, 2020 Author Posted August 10, 2020 I mean...it would be interesting to say the least
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Use Abrasion to move furniture. Actually, Lashing would work too.

Never again would D&D night end with an army of new scratches on the floor! This is BRILLIANT! Gravitation to reenact kung fu movie fights where someone gets kicked across the room. Tension to make bulletproof clothing and become a superhero Transportation or Gravitation to become the fastest pitcher in baseball Cohesion to create breakaway walls wherever you want Transformation: CONGRATULATIONS! It suddenly only takes a moment to make breakfast! Illumination makes your voice carry wherever you want. You have become quite the ventriliquist! Regrowth: Hey, I cured cancer! Regrowth: Hey, I started a religion! I didn't even need to tie your shoes together with adhesion. Gravitation made me the strongest man alive! See ma, I can lift over one-thousand pounds with one hand! Transportation got me both in and out of your new highly-advanced and impenetrable bank vault. Transformation: And now I'm an architect that doesn't need other people to actually build the project we'r - ahem - I'm working on. Assuming teleportation, Transportation means no more work commute. Division lets you tell your math teacher that yes, you do understand the concept. You just don't like writing long division by hand. (sorry Chaos) Illumination instead of spending money on makeup or select other beauty products Edit: typo Edited August 11, 2020 by BasementDwellingRadiant 3

theTruthshaper Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I just had a great idea. Using Abrasion + Adhesion, you can make a surface which is complete slippery, but still doesn't all anything to be picked of it. 2
Azarias Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Progression could allow one to shapeshift through the controlled growth of bones and flesh- though I'm not sure if there would be a way to turn back

Azarias Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Just now, Frustration said: Transformation. division maybe. Have we seen transformation used to change somethings shape, or can it only be used to change the material something is made out of? Division is plausible, but it seems painful and a bit of an overkill to just blow up the extra body parts you don't want- unless you're thinking it could be used a different way

They're not shaping the air- they're just turning the air already in that space into stone. and yeah you're right about the pain

Rorzikel Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 10 hours ago, Frustration said: Mistborn Hide contents Until they get Dur-aluminum I mean straight up that’s just not what Division is capable of: Quote Questioner The Division Surge: does it actually split atoms or does it split the bonds of molecules? Brandon Sanderson It splits the bonds of molecules, it does not split atoms. Questioner That would be completely overpowered. Brandon Sanderson I have done an atom splitting magic originally in Dragonsteel. And wooow it was overpowered. So really, this is fiddling... You'll see what it does when I use it, but we'll not be splitting atoms. We're not creating nuclear reactio... or fission, so.
