What is the most evil magic type?

[TheFightingLady]

I mean, I guess?? itd be way less efficient than glass though

[dukeshade]

Wow, my comment got quite the reaction— i thought i shorthanded a lot and that it wasn’t as good as it could be…

Anyways, such shorthanding is the reason Glass (and by extension, Crystal) is lumped in with the other solid magics. I would mostly be repeating myself with no new features. tbf, i did do such separation later, so yeah, just me being lazy.

Glass / Crystal (some types, but most should be form-able with the base magic) is inherently better at than the other solid magics- probably above poison tbh: I had recently thought that you could layer thin panels of fiber glass between joints and then create a pulsar object your victim would have to run from, causing immense pain as they move (which would be best done with a more fragile yet sharp materials).

If nobody could tell, I like writing.

in terms of base magics, i’d say ash, lightning, or poison.

in terms of all magics? life, with proper use. infinite torture loop goes crazy

The AA webcomic has a part where life magic is being used to inflict pain via overstimulating the nerves or smth, been a long while since I’ve read that part

[crimis_cringle]

we committing unforgivable mental and physical torment with this one

[Echo]

Lowk turn your enemies into an immortal flesh thing

[lirisiti]

Wind. Slow and painfull dead.

im pretty sure it is still canon because it was mentioned in the QnA and afaik the ingame books never retconned acheron reviving the gods (that would cause so many issues like how theos and cursebeard died)

[toru]

slash + life would be a cool combo for the funny
vivisecting your enemies into meatpieces while still keeping them alive through life magic

@dukeshade

Glass / Wood / Crystal / Earth / Metal: All of these have a few attributes in common— generic solid materials. AKA, they can all do the same things as eachother without much difference. One key strength about solid magics are their ability to trap targets using solid structures. My first idea was creating tons of the elements powder, and suffocating your target; my other idea was restraining the target and forcing large, but not lethal, holes into their bodies— then waiting for their bodies to heal and repeating the cycle. These are all relatively tame though, compared to some later torture methods. Unfortunately, my powder idea kinda falls when you consider that Powder magics are their own category, so it would be right to assume that these elements couldn’t do the suffocation idea. At the very least, you could splinter chunks into a persons flesh to cause a lot of irritation (this will be brought up a bit)

this could get so much worse, trigger warning below but

anyone else remember that trend where people would stick toothpicks under their toenails then slam it against a wall? yeah.. solid magics can get real ugly real fast

[Gamehero14]

All of these answers are wrong—the most evil magic is whatever magic the overleveled dingdong NPC I’m fighting is using, and the least evil magic is the one I’m using to try to preserve the un-beatenness of my tender rump.

[crimis_cringle]

guys i think gamehero is onto something

[MrYes]

I don’t know probably this

[cheems]

@cloudcrosser

ice and water magic can do the Chinese Water Drop torture

Yeah but you gotta be present for allat, it’s better just to use a jar of seawater.

[cloudcrosser]

I could apply that too all magics thou, I mean look at blood disease for example. Why would I use acid magic when I have THAT?
