: This is probably relative to the amount of raw power each
: possessed. Shiver was a battle mage-she possessed
: extroadinarily powerfuly spells designed to physically
: damage targets. Soulblighter was possibly the greatest
: accumulation of power ever inside of a mortal man
: (discounting heroes and levellers). The Watcher? I
: don't remember his death as being explosive, i thought
: he just crumbled (the stone)...and we dont know much
: about him...
: Then think of Balor, the leveller-he had so much raw
: power contained inside of him, that the destruction
: caused by his deathh ranged for miles.
: I think that the deceiver is a different case. While a
: powerful man, surely, his art was gained through
: knowledge and mastery. I believe that Soulblighters
: visit to the east was an attempt to vastly increase
: the amount of magical energy at his disposal-not to
: fully master it. The deceiver's power centered on
: manipulating things around him. I also find it likely
: that his magics are fueled by different means than the
: vast raw magic i think to be inside of the other
: sorcerers....this is probably why he does not explode.
: Also, keep in mind that all we can see is one plane of
: exisitence. The deceiver is possibly tied in with
: other planes than the physical one (explaining why his
: magics are not centered on physical attacks, i.e. a
: fireball or whisper dream). The wide ranging effects
: of his destruction may be much more evident on these
: other planes.
: Another explanation is, of course, that the deceiver did
: not really die : )
: Does this help at all?
Yes
