    "Sorry, you must have misheard me. I said 'annoying me'. And my point was that I haven't killed your avatar for doing it."
  2. NameIess
    Nameless huffed. "Have I ever killed your avatar without a reason beyond him mildly ignoring me?"
  3. NameIess
    Only it didn't work, as the magic of therapy didn't exist, and the Nethergrim trumped it anyways.
  4. NameIess
    "So you never signed the agreement of agreeableness?"

    "I didn't know she had a father, but he certainly wasn't a Narrator either. Do you even know the seven edicts of Courtesy?"
  6. NameIess
    "Archaic texts written by a Narrator don't give any description of the proper codes of conduct! No wonder you're always annoying me!"

    "No no no, I meant that DP is both the ruler of a nation inhabited by two donkeys and a really good hired killer! Not that the land was inhabited by two donkeys and a hired killer. How could you not instantly interpret my completely vague language as I intended it to be interpreted? You should go back to Narrator school."

    Nameless bonked Thaidakar on the head. "Bro, seriously? You actually made this character. How'd you forget who he was so quickly?"

    Friction occurs due to irregularities in objects. Those irregularities can be smoothed out by Stormlight. Yeah, but with trained perception they'd be able to do it just fine.
  10. NameIess
    And a really good hired killer.
  11. NameIess
    They can't, because air resistance is a problem because you have to physically push air out of your way. Eliminating friction can help with that, but you still have to move the air, and that still takes energy.
  12. NameIess
    If that were the case, then going at incredible speeds would require insane amounts of power too, as you'd have to go through just as much matter. As I understand it every object has a friction coefficient. I believe that Abrasion works by setting that friction coefficient to zero. So speed and force won't matter.
  13. NameIess
    If it's just perception, then era 4 Edgedancers will be able to phase through walls. I don't think that's going to happen, so I don't think this theory has merit.
  14. NameIess
    If that was the case, then it will stop working that way eventually. I think this is all an overcomplication of what is in all likelihood just a case of either Brandon not fully understanding the physics behind air resistance or Lift not noticing the air resistance that was still there due to the massively decreased air resistance she felt.
  15. NameIess
    Then why does it only work for air?
  16. NameIess
    If you remove friction completely, then it won't matter how fast you move, because no friction means there'll still be no energy exerted against you.
  17. NameIess
    Well, eliminating friction will always take the same amount of Stormlight. However, actively pushing the air away, which is required to completely eliminate air resistance will require a ton of energy, which can't just come from nowhere unless Brandon's breaking the rules that he's established.
  18. NameIess
    "Well, this one's pretty good, from what I've heard."
  19. NameIess
    Yeah, it does that. And the end result is kinetic energy. So they phase?
  20. NameIess
    Nameless rolled his eyes. "You need serious help with your addiction. Once we're done with this, I'll recommend you for Dr. Calano's new program."
  21. NameIess
    But DP was the king of assassinations.
  22. NameIess
    Surges work by using Stormlight to do something. In the case of Gravitation, Stormlight is converted into kinetic energy. In order for Abrasion to push air out of the way and completely eliminate air resistance, it would have to do the same. Just as using a bunch of lashings to move something takes a bunch of Stormlight, so too would using Abrasion to move air out of the way while at incredibly high speeds. Unless you have some more energy-efficient way for Abrasion to eliminate air resistance, that is even slightly related to how Abrasion is stated to work?
  23. NameIess
    And also had a shotgun.
  24. NameIess
    And it takes a proportionate amount of energy to do so. If Abrasion took a proportionate amount of energy to remove air resistance, it would use too much to be practical at high speeds.
  25. NameIess
    No, Gravitation is an addition to physics. It takes a proportionate amount of energy from Investiture in order to change. At high velocities, pushing air aside to remove terminal velocity would take tons of energy, and would likely be just about as efficient as simply lashing yourself more.
