It came up before that for 4th Ghostwalker could easily cast Force 100+ spells. I'm sure that's enough to blow up a building :P |

I will say, I'm wondering if they didn't mean 'manaball' instead of powerball. That, or perhaps this belongs in the mistaken imperatives thread.

However you get into a lot of handwaving when trying to figure out if he'd melt his own brain doing it. :) I think it might have to do with differentiating between bringing a building down and blowing it up. The World Trade Center wasn't "blown up", but it certainly did still end up as a pile of rubble all the same. Just not from an explosion but from smaller structural damage that used it's own girth against itself. So a GD could potentially, given enough metamagic and Grades or some other magic theory unknown to mortal to reduce drain, could bring down a 4 pillar post-tension building by Powerbolting at least a couple of the pillars. But use Powerbolt to have every bit of the building fly outward and once, and in a nice cinematic orange rolling fireball? Nope. Ok,I'm looking back on that paragraph and I must admit i've crossed the geek line debating whether or not a dragon could level a building. Time to book out. |

They brought the Sears Tower down by combining magic and explosives...
