Hey Everybody!
So I was remembering Hexzyles (I don think I spelled dat right) Not Magic thread where he played Biotech Hann and answered all questions with science.
Ever since that thread I've wanted to do one of my own, So here we go!
Ask me any questions, but keep in mind that I am a Scholar of Owlite Magicks, with a subdivision in Explosive Combat.
NOW FIRE AWAY!
You spelled it right. It's a miracle! Of Science, of course: Your brain correctly stored and recalled the information without error.
How do you get two of the same item in two different slots in your inventory?
;)
@Mystrian: A Flame-Shinobi would be a ninja of flame
@Hexzle: Yes that is science... *grumbles*
@Red: You appear to be a posh Snarbolax with a Pipe. Meaning someone clearly cast the Owlite Spell of Inteligence on you.
@Silver: That's not magic, that is simply how the universe works.
Everything must be magic under your ruling.
How do alchemizer shots work?
Answer me the correct answer: Scientifically and Magically:
What is everything made of?
Did Greys (Aliens) Exist? If they dont, Can you explain me a Proof?
What we are consisted of, In Science and Magical terms? (HINT: the MATERIA is old already.)
And Last:
What's happening to earth nowdays?
Do you know it?
@Fang:
Alchemer shots use magic only in the sense to stop the liquids inside from utterly destroying the gun. I do believe the infinite amount of fused liquids also requires a Spell of Replenishing.
@Enlightened:
No science, that's hexzyle's bizz
(1) This one we allready know by science: matter, but matter is very useful as magical components *wink*
(2)Once again this has no magical or scientific explanation, yet I believe there are, Proof: In this infinite space we can't be the only living ones.
(3)Science: Matter/ Magic: Still matter, yet matter is required for certain spells, and certain matter at that, such as plant matter being required for the Spell of Growth
(4) What's up? Global Warming, which isn't caused by gasses (stupid science) it is really caused by fiery demons hidden in volcanoes, which constantly heat up.
(5) I honestly don't know... If you tell me a situation...
@ Sammich
NO!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ALSO: please only ask SK related questions, thank you!
=) ... I guess only i know in these forums what is really happening to earth nowdays :/
What does the Antigua fire? If it's bullets, how does Spiral HQ manage to make the ammunition?
RE: Andyspace
Our helms' eyepieces (or the eyes themselves, if you believe we are cyborgs) are capable of tracking multiple targets. Our armour (or our limbs themselves for those who believe we are cyborgs) will then actuate towards the currently selected target. Making a conscious effort to move ourselves against the auto-actuation will reset the targeting system until it acquires another target or we turn it off.
RE: Rothni-Halias
Knights are in charge of reloading their own firearms. The acquisition of archaic weaponry and the materials to make it function are the sole concern of the Knight who possesses it. And yes, the Antigua does fires bullets, however these one seem to pull air into itself in order to propel itself further. Sort of like a jet engine, but with only two moving parts. Inner and outer.
when you fully charge the autogun, why do fifteen shots rapidly burst out of the gun? based on a visual, its barrel can only hold 6 shots. and it looks too similar to that Nerf Maverick gun...
@Andy
(1) AA is a function in our armor, yet in certain cases it is the gun itself that uses it's spirit (i.e. Obsidian Carbine) to jerk the wielder into a position aimed at an enemy
(2) The autogun uses Energy rounds, not real bullets. Once again Owlite spell of Replenishing
@Rhonti
The antigua fires bullets, based off of chamber size the SO made a singular round, and had Mages like me use Copying spells to make more of them.
Global Warming, which isn't caused by gasses (stupid science)
You're right, it's not caused by just gases. It's also caused by the gamma decay of the sun which punches holes in the ozone layer because of the freon we used before it was outlawed because--...okay it's caused by gases.
So... Can you explain the Needle Shot, Strike Needle, and Blitz Needle's rounds then?
Why are there still Vog Cub and Skolver armour if they do not exist to provide their hide to make it?
Q: How does my fridge work
A: Magic
RE: Soulstaker
They do not specifically say that they are made from Skolver and Vog Cub. Think of it like making a fur coat from one animal that imitates the fur from another.
@Silver:
The rounds of these guns are simply needles, for Krogmo's version they are poisoned. Once again. infinite ammo caused by replenishing spell, and INSANELY wide spread charge shot caused by spatial displacement spell.
@Soul
As Ghret said, just because they aren't alive does not stop mage-trained tailors from mimicking the properties of their fur.
@Pi*5
I'd LOVE to see this fridge, but not exactly a question. Also I've refrained from those answers, If you'd like me to explain how a spell works, I can...
@Ghret
I appreciate you following this thread, and watching it if I don't answer immediately, but please don't answer for me. On the other hand, feel free to answer the occasional question, I do have studdies to attend to! (Note: this ONLY applies to Ghret)
Understood. Don't be a greedy snipe and steal all the seed. Got it.
It's a joke, magic is regarded scientificly as something that we don't understand yet, meaning the person who is answering doesn't know how my fridge works, but that's a lie created by scientists to purposly misguide people
How does forge work?
"How does forge work?"
All knights are secretly firebenders.
That's the best answer I can come up with....
Quit it Dermog, your tempting me more and more to put an answer to my own question
Vog is a fire beast, according to the Fang of Vog's tooltip. According to the wiki, all his cubs were hunted down for their coats. But where could you find these cubs? (EDIT: before they were hunted to extinction). Where is Vog? How did they manage to make a sword from him?
@Pi*5
Forges are simply fires built to temper your weapons in their flames. Fire crystals are used to power them because Fire Crystals are imbued with the pure essence of flame. That is how the forge works. UV's occur due to extra temperence as does double level up. Prize boxes are a side product of the magical reaction.
@Andy
Vog WAS an elusive creature. It lived in the forests around FSC before, you know. Vog's are currently endangered and it is Illegal by Stranger Law for them to be hunted. Only a select few know where the last of the population is, me includeed. But if I told you I'd have to kill you so...
For the Fang of Vog, adult male Vog Beasts were gigantic, slightly larger than Snarby, that's why we USED to use their fangs for blades. Every Fang of Vog now is a cheap copy made by Brinks, that's why its so likely to set you on fire, the old ones never did that...
This is how these threads usually die. There just isn't enough interest in them. Or people just don't think there will be a satisfying enough answer to their question. There's a difference to telling someone that a sword is a piece of sharp metal and explaining all the different types of swords and how each is similar but different.
You might have to invoke narrative causality and choose the answer that seems the coolest i.e. Where does Skolver armour come from? A) Skolver. B) faux Skolver. C) All Wolvers are descendants of Skolver. The Alchemy Machine activates these genes during Alchemisation and turns normal Wolver fur into Skolver fur. Which of these sound the most interesting? That one is the one you should go with.
Or you could just start asking and answering your own questions.
Question, why does the Antigua fire even though it's so old?
Next, what the heck is The Swarm?
Another one, why'd they build a statue of Nick even though he's gone?
Next question, how does the Snarbolax Coat, Hat, and Snarbly himself have a resistance to poison?
Another question, whom killed the Ancient Owlite Scholars?
Finally, how do Spiral Wardens turn into the destructive Trojans?
Hope you haven't considered this thread dead yet! :)
Will King Krogmo ever run out of coins to give to Knights?
How is it possible to pick up/collect heat?
Where does Vatel get his stock from?
QUESTIONS! Thak you you 2.
@Despicable
(1) The antigua can fire because it was so well preserved in gelatinous gloop.
(2) The Swarm appears to be nothingness. That is why it must posess or copy creatures to fight very well. NOTE: the only non copy/possesed creatures the swarm has are Seeds and Turrets. Where the swarm came from... Even I don't know.
(3) The statue of Nick is to honor all he did before he... *sniffles* left... us... /cry
(4) The Snarbolax's (or Snarby's) Naural poison resist is due to his horrible blood. This demonic wolf's curse causes his blood to flow very slowly, making poison nearly innefective, too weak to tell if he is poisoned. The coats would be brown if they were not cursed also, thus while wearing the coats the curse is on YOU. (OoOo spoooooky :P)
(5) The actually Owlites (species) Scholars were killed of by the Kat Klan, read up on Katyklysm lore sometime. It's very interesting. I'm not an actual Owlite, but I've studied every single one of thier tomes.
(6) As we see with Arkus, he became very depressed, beginning to let the darkness take over. If devilites find knights like this, they will ram Dark Matter into thier backs, causing the darkness to gain full control. REMEMBER: Not all trojans are guardians, and even if they are, should be shown no mercy.
@Salty
(1) No, he has a Devil-IT run coin making factory. Like the U.S. Mint.
(2) Heat is the pure essence of fire, The SO (Spiral Order) hired mages like myself to enchant all gear so it was able to imbune itself with the essence of fire, and then temper itself, but recently heat has weakened and we must use the forge.
(3) Vatel gets his stock from Basil, who delves in the clockworks himself to find these recepies and fire crystals. The supply pack is simply his famous curry and blankets in a box. Yes, they are both wonderful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you two so much for saving this thread and giving me hope! Hope you liked your answers!
Why da hell can't we steal crowns from other knight like real life ?
Why aren't there some bad@$$ hotrods ?or them gliders eh ?
Why da snipes got these uugly pink colors eh ?
Are ya rly trapped in a snipe box ?
P.S. sry for the homie language...PEACE !
Never once in my life have i almost died from text. LOL
Dark:
(1) Knights are much to honorable to do that. Heard of Chivalry?
(2) Umm.... I honestly don't know. Other than we have no use for them...
(3) Natural colors, those pink colors attract females you know...
(4) No, I just prefer not to show my face.
ARE YOU A SNIPE?!?!?!
And why do we need these orbs for crafting gear?
@Andy
It's simply our natural species traits, we have luminescent eyes. The Greyfeather Cowl makes them grow brighter as a side affect of it (a) increasing your vision and (b) the sheer masses of knowledge it grants you.
@Soul
No, but i can morph into one! How do you think i fit in this box?
The orbs are required as a catalyst, they absorb all the materials, merge together, absorb the old weapon, and in a flash of light create a new one!
Why does every stranger have a snipe on their head and shoulders besides basil?
Why are there snipes in some wolver dens?
How is it possible to block against floor hazards when our shields are held in front of us?
How does the whole mail system work? How is mail delivered from one knight to another instantly? What happens to the crowns we paid to send the mail?
What are a Gun Puppy's bullets made out of? Do they ever run out of ammo?
Why are Greavers named after different rocks and minerals?
The bombs that Darkfang Demo's use, what are they called?
Do Pit Bosses actually drink their coffee? (Assuming that it's coffee and not some other strange beverage)
How do trinket and weapon slot upgrades work? Why do they expire in 30 days?
**Edit**
Amu-Sol is a fiendish city according to the Wiki. The name sounds rather odd. Does Amu-Sol mean something? Does it come from certain root word(s)?
@Soul:
Snipes are quite frequently kept as pets by strangers, like parrots or parakeets! Basil has too low of an income to afford to keep a snipe as a pet though.... :(
Snipes are still wild creatures aswell, they were brought to Cradle along with the wolver dens by whatever means those Gremlins used.
EXTRA BIT: Snipe songs are beautiful.
@Salty:
(1) Shields... ummm... I think... no.... SCREW THIS! *Throws keyboard at screen* (I have no trucking clue) I didn't want to use this as an answer but... MAGIC!
(2) Mail is sent by Spiral Mailmen, crowns are their fee, how does it get there immediately? Potato cannon.
(3) Gun puppy bullets are energy, no. Not until they run out of energy.
(4) Because Greavers hoard rare gems, thier status effect and color is based off the main gem the hoard i.e. pearl=frost and light blue
(5) Those are Deconstructers, they are wind-up technology. Like the creepy monkey things. *shudders*
(6)Yes, I've had some and, despite the horrible mirages and nightmares, it was delicious! I believe they sip it slowly to savor the horror.
(7)Weapon, Trinket, and heat upgrades work as follows.
Weapon: A spell that increases your body's strenghth, allowing you to carry and use more weaponry.
Trinket: A spell that creates an extra pocket somewhere on your armor, allowing you to carry more trinkets.
Heat: A spell that enchants you with the aspect of flame, making creatures hotter when you kill them, making them drop more heat.
ALL SPELLS EXPIRE 30 DAYS AFTER USE. IF YOU ENCOUNTER SIDE-EFFECTS CONTACT A BIOTECH IMMEDIATELY, AS SOME SIDE-EFFECTS LEAD TO DEATH.
(8)As I know Sol means sun, but when i looked up Amu in my library I found American Millitary University, and Atomic Mass Unit, I think that Amu might mean dark, though don't quote me on that.
Heat crystals are actually weak enchanting magic solidified, very precious so monsters hoard them in whatever boxes they can find. The forge is a way of tapping into their power and using it on our weapons and armor, using more magic to do that of course! However, once released, the magic flies in a random directions, what you want is for it to go mainly towards your weapon or armor. However, since it moves randomly, there is a chance of not enough magic transfering to the weapon or armor, and if there isn't enough new magic in our weapons/armor, we can't keep the new magic in so it all goes out. Suppose that you do manage to successfully store enough magic in it, and now it is level 10. Why can't you upgrade it more until you craft it up? Well, once you craft it up, some of the enchanting magic is lost but luckily the new craft-up allows you to hold more. The enchanting magic being lost is just a part of it, it can not be helped. How does the heat bonus work you ask? Well, in the heat crystals, there is sometimes increadibly magical heat (heat is actually weaker enchanting magic btw) that can somehow clone other heat a little at a time. It is however different from normal heat and can escape if there isn't enough of it even if there is enough normal heat to keep it in. How does double level up occur? Well, that is the rarer instance when lots of magic gets into the gear, about twice as much. How does forge box occur? Well, there is a incredibly secret compartment in the forge instaled by a incredibly nice person which absorbs a whole lot of magic (just enough not to take all the magic going into your gear) and puts it into a box that can't be opened when unenchanted and secretly deposited into your bag, using magic of course!
Any questions?
I've heard an odd saying: "There's more than one way to skin a Kat."
So just how many ways are there?
None. They're spirits, nice try though. There are many ways to KILL a Kat, but no way to obtain Kat Hide.
PROTIP: Kats actually died from curiosity. Think about it. They attacked the Owlites because they wanted the Owlite knowledge. Only to be cursed to be undead spirits forever.
REAL LIFE COOL FACT: The saying wasn't orriginally "Curiosity killed the cat." it was "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back." Big difference.
Why can't I bring a Guardian Shield from Lockdown out of the Coliseum?
Do Spiral Mailmen have uniforms?
On bombhead masks, the fuse is lit but never reaches the bomb part of the mask. How is that possible? And how can the fuse remain lit for an infinite amount of time?
Is jelly armor edible?
How can fur coats have fire resistance when the material is flammable?
How can two knights walk right through each other?
How do I know you aren't watching me as I type this?
How do items go in and out of an alchemy machine?
Why does my voice get hoarse from saluting,sleeping,sitting,waving,winking,pointing?
Why do spiral knights never look up to admire the skies?
Why can't we jump?
My friend needed blood for a surgery but there was no pint of blood to be found in cradle, what is going on?
Why do beasts disappear when defeated?
Why did OOO remove the cure to insomnia(in other words, the SLOOMS!)?
I can see a picture of the core at the bottom of the page but I am not in the final depth.What is going on here?I think the Illerminati are upto something.
@Salty
(1) Because Krogmo will come after you. There's no escape. He can bribe with those lovely bombheads...
(2) Yes, it is a Cool Field Cap and Solid Cobalt Armor.
(3) It is very possible, the fuse isn't really lit, it's just an ever so tiny light show, yes that can go on forever.
(4) Yes, but it also gives me a horrible.. ugh... stomach ache.
(5) If you're speaking of vog it's obvious how, but if you mean by Vise, he just pours some Perma-Soak on it.
(6) That one even i don't really understand yet... i think it might be *Knight walks through me* HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! Where were we?
@Dahall
(1) You don't.
(2) Slots, lots of them. And a little prize chamber like on those impossible crane games.
(3) Because you actually whisper those commands as you do them. Whispereing harms the throat you know.
(4) I do. Don't you?
(5)The armor is allways to heavy, een the light stuff our muscles have toruble supporting.
(6) Nothing bleeds on cradle, they simply puff into smoke. I don't know quite how it happens though. You could gie him your blood!
(7) I think they are all actually Ninjas and they flee rather than die.
(8) Sleep was broken, very much so. The slooms were too OP so they had to have knights exterminate them. It was a sad day.
(9) Because the SO thinks you deserve a snippet of what's to come.
What is a Flame-Shinobi?
