“The strength of a wizard isn’t in how much magic they can muster, but how effective their magic is in effect”

What’s more powerful? The wizard who can blow up planets or the wizard who can control one (1) mind without any defence against it?
>>
>>97764591
Power, like magic (or magic, like power), is a relative affair.
>>
Are we treating these as one-trick pony wizards, or mature wizards with a suite of spells to support them?
Because if blowing up a planet is your only skill, you are for most intents and purposes just a bomb.
However, as a singular spell, mind control is pretty slick.

If you integrate these into the repetoire of a mature wizard; mind control is alright I suppose, and might even make you the most dangerous duelist in the universe (it would anyway), but a powerful enough wizard could just fly into space with magical breathing and protection from vacuum and cold, and blow up your planet, and astral gate to his pocket plane or some absurd shit.
Kinda moggs mind control for scale.
UNLESS You use it on a God
>>
>blow up a planet
Where does the energy come from?
>>
>>97764808
The magic dimension. Don’t think too much about it.
>>
>>97764786
Nah. The mind controller already mind controlled the planet nuking wizard. Now the mind controller doesn’t need to ever learn how to nuke planets.
>>
>>97764808
It's magic, it inherently is unrealistic and defies the laws of physics as we know them, so either physics works differently within the setting or magic doesn't obey those laws. So take your realismslop elsehwere
>>
>>97766839
>it inherently is unrealistic
It is a historical belief that was present in every recorded culture and sincerely believed to have been real.
Never did it include making stuff explode with your mind because thats stupid.
>physics works differently within the setting
If the first law of thermodynamics doesnt apply then there is no reality in the first place.
>take your realismslop elsehwere
Take your DnDslop somewhere else, shitposter.

*controls the mind of the wizard who can blow up planets
checkmate

Mind control wizard only loses to groups and mindless opponents. Planet exploder jobs in his first fight to hype up goku's new form. The choice is clear.
>>
Mind control that ignores all defenses like playground rules tier unironically does beat Goku in the 1v1 now that I think about it
>>
>>97764591
Depends on the setting. If it's just one planet the former is more powerful, if the latter can control the emperor of a million worlds then he is.
>>
>>97764808
The planet itself, the magic converts its matter into energy.
>>
>>97767237
Nuh uhhh
Shut up!
>>
>>97764591
What game?
>>
>>97769743
Any game.
>>
>>97774369
There are no wizards in chess.
>>
>>97766895
>Never did it include making stuff explode with your mind because thats stupid.
Millions of hindoos would disagree.
>>
>>97776590
That is what they want you to think so you never see that fireball coming.
>>
>>97764591
Mind Control Wizard can mind control the Planet Blow Up Wizard if he wants to blow up the planet.
>>
>>97776590
The queen is kind of like a wizard
>>
>>97764591
lol

>>97764591
Poor Fat Kevin

Dude, we should get him laid to make up for this.

matterjeet...

>>97787194
Lol ok
>>
>>97764591
What is this image from
>>
>>97764591
I mean if they faced off against each other, the mind control one would win.
>>
>>97796925
Unless planet blow up wizard is a shonen protagonist. Then he will overcome the mind control through the power of nakama and blow up mind control wizard.
>>
>>97764591
Magic, like power, (or power, like magic) is quite relative. There’s a good reason why magic and superpowers go hand in hand. Same with knowledge. “I know something you don’t know~” often leads to “I can do something you can’t do~”.
>>
Thing is though, we don't have a definite effective range for mind control, or even know if mind control wizard is aware of planet explosion wizard.
They might be on opposite sides of the planet, or a mile apart but unaware of each-other.
>>
>>97799460
That’s part of the joke.
