I think that as long as he builds the pit from bottom up, it should work fine against Phil. If the dirt is moved out of the way in a large enough area, and then Phil’s anti-magic-ness stops it a few feet bellow him, the ground beneath him should still collapse and he should fall in.
Just my thoughts.
-Move stone to leave spikes instead of creating them?
-Use magic to slow the vibrations of molecules in an area around him to create a explosive low pressure zone where he is standing?
-Excite molecules to spontaneously combust an area.
-Shield an area around him out of his range and use a vacuum type spell to cause explosive decompression?
-Condense a storm cloud and create a pressure barrier to drown him?
-Indirectly fire projectiles? Wind to launch shrapnel, gravity wells to systematically propel stones?
-A sufficiently learned Earth magi might be able to create machines. Say he mixed gunpowder, would the resulting explosion affect him? Or a rudimentary spear launcher, catapult, Bolo? Would the naturally created projectiles be able to touch him?
-How indirect does the magic have to be to hurt him, basically?
only 1 and 4 would effect Phil, seeing that it was said in the comic that if magic touched it it cannot hurt him
I remember Phil is immune to most physical damage as well one of first few instances is being shot and jumping out of top floor of a hospital.
He does bleed and feel pain but I think he heals fast or doesn’t die from it or something.
All my ideas are indirectly touched by magic, if anything touched by magic indirectly didn’t effect him he would probably be dead. A mage moves something big enough to displace a large portion of air that Phil would not be effected by. Phil suffocates kind of deal.
Look at what this comics done to me. Thinking of Magic Rube Goldberg mechanisms to kill a character.
Phil is having so much fun. He looks like a child that just got a new toy.
A pit you say?
I sense a Wile E Coyote moment coming~
No, he hasn’t strapped himself to a rocket yet
It’s only a matter of time.
No, I’m absolutely not sure. Do it anyway.
This is literally answering all the questions I had pertaining to the null point for point.
Theory Phil’s power doesnt just nullify magic he touches but more so what he is focusing on. This actually implies that he has some level of control of his ability on a subconscious level.
I see Phil regretting this decision in the near future. Although he’s testing the limits in a practice situation. So if he does get hurt consequences won’t be as severe as if it were the real thing. Anyways gotta love being young, think your unbeatable till you find out otherwise. 🙂
if phil keeps up this exploration of his abilities against earth magic, he’s gonna get himself hurt. i mean, what if he’s halfway into the pit and his null thing causes the pit to re-fill around phil?
He will fall through the Earth all the way to China.
It’s definitely time for those whistling sound effects right about now.
… I’m noticing that the Null field around Phil gets a little larger each time one of the Magi uses their power near him. Could it be that the strong the magic that Phil is exposed to, the stronger his Null ability gets?
My question from the last page will be answered~! awesome!
Typo of sorts. “Uhh, are sure?”
