  1. Chasmfiend looked up, blinking at the sudden bright light. It was quite beautiful, with several rainbows encircling the sunbeam. Realizing quickly who it was, he tilted his head forward as a sign of respect. His newly made squires behind him knelt down, likely fearing for their lives. He couldn’t blame them; lightning was scary as heII.

    “Yes, my Queen, what do you wish?” He spoke upwards towards her. He would not show his petty and illogical fear hear, in front of her. Or his squires, for that matter. He was Chasmfiend, he should have no fear.

    He then stood, stiff as a board, at attention for what Rainmaker would say.

     

  2. Ok, Comatose, thank you for explaining what you wanted.

     

    It happens on a sliding scale (i.e. he could make something absolutely tasteless or overload your sense of taste, but couldn't make bread taste like fish) and only on physical properties (i.e. boiling/melting points, hardness, taste, etc.). Also, it gets harder to push the 'scale' the farther it goes; say, a doubling or halving a property makes it 5x harder to push. Say, making a person evaporate would be very hard, though it is possible. Making the water in a person is much easier, so is more likely to be used, though Chasmfiend likes evaporating people because it's flashy and usually scares the heck out of people. Also the mass matters; a double in mass would make it, say, 3x harder. So, while evaporating people is hard, evaporating a large tree is just about impossible without a considerable amount of time; he would have to continue pushing the slide, so the tree would have melted already anyways.

     

     

    If he doesn't think lightning is his weakness, what does he believe it is? Does he not reaize or refuses to believe he has a weakness? Throughout the trilogy, we see more or less every Epic with a noted weakness being aware of it, so I'm curious what the reason behind his lack of knowledge is.

     

    He refuses to believe he has a weakness. He has major Hubris.

  3. First, I would like to say that many people together have convinced me that Chasmfiend would not come to Corvallis because of his weakness. My answer to this; he doesn't know it. Whenever a storm comes along, he stays in the same place, and doesn't do strenuous activity that would cause him to realize that his powers where negated. He explains away the death of his beast that his fear causes him to lose control, rather than lightning be his weakness.

     

     

    Hey Chasmfiend, before we get going with Rainmaker and Chasmfiend's conversation, did you ever figure out the extent of his property enhancing powers?  What they can and can't do still seems pretty nebulous.  

     

    He can change properties of matter; make them denser, less dense, stronger, increase or decrease the melting/boiling points, etc.
