: Anyone ever wonder why dispersal dreams aren't used more
: often in Myth wars? I mean, we know they can be set
: off by an explosion, so they don't need an Avatara to
: trigger them (although it takes an Avatara to target
: the dream; otherwise it starts at the location of the
: energon cube).The huge, slow-moving undead armies of
: the Dark would seem ideal victims for dispersal
: dreams. Just imagine: The Watcher is enroute to
: Covenant, leading an army of Thrall a million strong.
: Hearing a faint shout over the tramp of dead feet, he
: looks up to see a small red balloon floating overhead,
: carrying a couple of very, very excited dwarves. As
: Dori moons the enraged Ghols in the Watcher's
: vanguard, Nori tosses a glowing green cube over the
: side, tied to a couple of primed and smoking bottles.
: Three years later, the Watcher's helmet lands in the Dire
: Marsh.
Maybe (just maybe) just as the sorceror is about to die, some special magical something-or-another happens and it traps the essence of their magic in little cubes. Those green cubes. So a sorceror has to 1) die, 2) not have used up his magic supply and 3) not been killed via big explosion if the cubes are appearing. And most sorcerors use up their magic before dying. So I expect the cubes are really rare to see.
In addition, maybe the cubes are special and anyone who touches them spontaniously combusts.
And when Shiver died, maybe that special magical something-or-another didn't work right and instead of being trapped in little cubes, the magic was released and BOOM!
: So why don't they do this? Can the Fallen Lords cancel a
: Dispersal Dream once it's started, if they have enough
: time?
I don't think they can. I sure know that if Alric casts the Dream and he then engages in melee combat, the dream will come back and blow him to bits. If he could cancel it, I think he would. And since it doesn't take too long to cast it, it wouldn't take too much time to cancel it, if it could be done.
: Or do dreams have a very limited half-life after the
: Avatara who created them dies or gives them up? What
: do YOU, the American people, think about this?
Dreams have a very limited half-life. About the time from when you fall asleep until you wake up. Sorry, I couldn't resist. :)
Am I, the American person, say... "I'm the craziest person here. Who else doesn't have Myth 2?"
