HISS!!! Lawful Goody Two Shoes, how absolutely
disgusting 
. Paladin wannabes are the worst, I tell you
.
His cape name IS French for "knight", after all. That he is lawful good is no surprise. It isn't his alignment but his relative inflexibility in canon that made me leary of telling him, specifically, Taylor's age. I lean towards openness in these kinds of situations, but not everybody needs to know all the details, no?
Query: Do you(anybody reading or SW) read Chevalier with the French pronunciation ( sheh vah yay) or more Anglacized ( she val eer ; or ; cheh va leer)?
[X] Shell Barrier
I had a few questions about shell barrier, though, primarily, what is the shape of the barrier and how much control do we have over it? Picking up the ability to shield others is perfect for CW's mental state right now, but some of the wording describing the spell led to me having an inconsistent mental picture of how it works. My first thought, from the wording, was a separate shield for each person affected, like the Protect spell in many fantasy rpgs. Later parts made me doubt that that was the intent. I suppose the exact mechanics don't matter as much since I won't be writing the scenes (unless an omake comes to mind), but some clarification would be nice.
Also, is Shell polarized? More specifically, can people fire out through the shield but not in, as sci fi often does, or does it block everything? Can it be made opaque?
Reading through the spells, I noticed the full description of Ragnarok in conjunction with our recent discussion of her blaster rating being higher than the Protectorate thinks. Ragnarok would make CW a blaster 11 or 12, I think. Hopefully using it on an Endbringer won't cause negative repercussions, with the added mess of having Taylor's age known to a few.
Tim has so many projects running, but I really want Vista to have a utility arm, too, or even more than one. How easy is it for Vista to change arms? Tim and Dragon getting that teleport tech working in conjunction to her having arms she can switch out would make for some serious flexibility in her power set, and flexibility.
That CW wasn't affected by the trigger most likely won't lead anywhere with Chevalier. If it had been MM, on the other hand, I suspect things would be quite different.
Looking at the choices, Mistletein does look good for freezing opponents, provided the petrification is temporary, and Singularity has serious utility potential, but I still lean towards Shell for the ability to protect allies and civilians.
