Timageness Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 If they knew the what alloys were used and memorized every single tiny little detail, then I suppose, but I'm going to assume that the widget-making process is a closely-guarded secret and leave it at that. Besides, I was also thinking of using the powers for lockpicking, climbing, and escaping as well, and Magnetism just isn't as versatile as Iron is.

Nato G Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I always thought widgets were just thrown together from scrap metal? And I still argue that a Fe-Toa could set up a nice money-laundering business. Besides, I was also thinking of using the powers for lockpicking, climbing, and escaping as well, and Magnetism just isn't as versatile as Iron is.You can use magnetism to levitate, though.

NorikSigma Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) How dare you sell me out me like that i made a living off playing long-distance power characters by doing that. Back on-topic, I assume the mints employ Fe-Toa of their own that forge the coins, so they have their own anti forging patterns only they know about.

Iron can't do that. True, and levitation would counter both the sight and noise of footsteps... Combine that with a Huna, and said character would be pretty darn sneaky...On the other hand, there wouldn't really be a need to do that when you can essentially take someone's coin-purse from a distance, unless the thief was trying to steal something non-metalic.Congratulations, Roman. Your very convincing argument has made this decision slightly more difficult.

Krayzikk Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 No, seriously! Surely a Fe-Toa could create as much money as they want? Could they? Sure. It just doesn't mean anything in a game where currency is fluid, there is no set value, people have as much of it as the plot demands, and we have no idea how the currency is made. It just isn't a factor. As for this... How to Play a Toa of Magnetism in Three Easy Steps: Step 1 - Copy Ghosthands.Step 2 - ???Step 3 - Profit. It should be noted that levitation was something Echelon could do. While it is theoretically possible for other Toa of Magnetism, they would have to be on the same level of skill Echelon is. Which is to say elementally skilled, and utterly useless in anything that isn't either a Kanohi or your element. Echelon only got away with his more ludicrous power usages way back when because the boss gave permission for that degree of specialization for him back in 2012. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Keeper of Kraata Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 So levitation for Fa-Toa is now banned as well? On the one hand, Skorm will revel in his superiority. On the other hand, I'm questioning the disparity of control we see Magnetism do, if they can't pull off something as simple as 'entire body, magnetized thataway'... The times, they are a-changing...
