You can’t prove that there’s pressure in water magic.
You can’t just add pressure, you need a lot of water in one space to have water pressure. You’ve gotta have the gravity making the water heavier the deeper down.
ever been hit by a water balloon that didn’t pop?
it’s that
That’s squishy rubber hitting you, not water.
The water blasts, beams, etc travel extremely far requiring pressure and force to keep itself together.
If there was no pressure it’d just fall apart and fall?

All magics stay together, you can’t have pressure keeping Light in.

That tracks.
So by that logic, magic could just squish the water into pressure?
if it’s just magic keeping it together then why can’t it pressurize?
To make the water stronger anyway with magic reinforcement it’d be natural to compress the water for a more damaging attack, it wouldn’t make sense to send out just a water balloon splash of water that’d do little damage and be practically useless.
Sure, it can be pressurized, but not by such a hefty degree.
It’d make sense in the future for mages to pressurize their attacks for more damage.
Water mages boutta pull a piercing blood
Have you ever heard of 20% attack size?
It’s literally already a thing, mages DO actually do this for more damage

so mages do pressurize canonically, in all and all it makes sense no idea what Stocksound means.
Probably the fact that you can only make your attacks so small, similar how you can’t compress objects past a certain point. This is probably why 20% is the smallest you can make attacks
theoretically if we compress enough with a ton of energy we could create a magical black hole.
I’d prefer if that was a gravity magic exclusive thing
Especially if you use a magic like water I don’t see why they wouldn’t tbh

Level 1 lightning blast: ~20 damage.
Lighting strike: 500 damage.
Math checks out. Only issue is, normal people survive lightning strikes irl.
AO people survive lightning strikes, you just gotta be in good health.
You gotta be at level 58 or you have to have armor. Judging by the levels of most castaways, your average person in AO is like level 1-20.
Well, that’s a bit of a confusion point. You ain’t got nobody level 2 sailing in the Nimbus Sea, but castaways can be. I think it’s weird how underlevelled they are. the Player is also Level 1 when first waking up too. I think the level is often a stand-in for physical condition, because castaways gonna be feelin’ like shit.
I typically interpret level as a combination of skill and an individual’s luck. Like how certain war generals manage to campaign for years, even on the frontline, and never get badly hurt. (George Washington, Julius Ceaser, etc.)
Of course, that doesn’t really work for Arcane “house-sized-attacks” Odyssey.
