So the thread on invis+silence brought up a point for me that I thought would be best spun off into a different thread.
Does levitate just break the laws of physics (conservation of mass/energy) or is there a way to get it to make them work together? Here's a question for you to illustrate the point: A 100kg mage is in a 100kg cage on a scale, when the mage is at rest the scale shows 200kg, when he levitates does the scale read 100kg or 200kg? |
