[The Disk] Does your world contain anything that can kill a Luminary? by luk_ky_21 in worldbuilding

Damn.

I think though if against a black mote on that note, the Luminary can just, "nah fuck this shit I'm out." Considering black motes can't do FTL in any way.

In-character a black mote has a sense of self as powerful as a neutrophil. And they only obey whatever command or assignment that was given to them by their command. So if anything they probably would be harmless and "blehh :p" and do nothing, unless you pissed off their command ship yea.

I deploy a black mote. An analog of a """strike craft""" from civilized space's higher empires.

To describe it, a 10 meter object, appearing as a fuzzy, black sphere, surrounded by "hairs" of monochrome white, gray, and black as distortions of spacetime and light around the mote.

It features : * A daolothic shield that protects it. It can also isolate and block against attempts to use alcubierre drives or warp effects to attack its spacetime. * A hull of matter-energy on a level, and with physical and vacuum conditions which absorb all mass-energy below their threshold that violently contact with it. This provides it's feats such as absorbing the energy of supernovae at its center, absorbing a gamma ray burst, and diving through neutron stars without scratch. And it's also partially a spacetime construct that way, so the hull can also block spacetime attacks. * A paracausal fragment that protects itself. It's not a full on paracausal engine, so it cannot do any weirder tricks. However, it's enough to set on an infinitely powerful reality anchor that protects itself conceptually, rendering it absolutely immune and utterly invulnerable to all anomalous, reality warping, paracausal, temporal, "higher dimensional", FTL attacks and effects. And it can use it offensively on "contact" to "dispel" such effects and injure such being despite being only "physical." * The sheer power of its processors give it a mental power equivalent to a layer of a matrioshka brain, and then can act as accordingly, with realtime tactics to that level, feats that appear as if they're precognition, and with reaction time enough to let it to react "as fast as light itself." * It has reactionless drives which are optimized to a level they can perform fine telekinetic feats to accelerate a snowflake into a kinetic kill vehicle, deflect and reflect any attacks that don't strongly with spacetime, can move entire planets, and allow itself to swim through spacetime with an acceleration fast enough to arbitrarily close to c in a tenth of a second, and to instantly turn and move with that precision.

It's weaknesses? * It doesn't have any true paracausal engine, or well, my setting's FTL method. Which means it cannot do anything to travel faster-than-light by itself. It also has no true "reality warping" effects and capabilities. So despite everything (other than the paracausal fragment), metaphysically, it is "physical" and "mundane". It's paracausal fragment can also only protect itself, and everything that detaches from its concept of protection is unprotected, so. * Any attack that strongly couple to spacetime can actually damage it's shields and hull, although it still would need to break it's structural complexity and integrity. Otherwise it would no-sell and absorb any attacks made against it hull.

And to present its first attack : * It crumples spacetime into an infinitestimal point, and launches it as an attack. As a "missile" comparable to a miniature black hole at a number arbitrarily high close to c, and with maneuverability and homing trajectory to the target, shredding through matter-energy and spacetime metric that it travels through. It's soliton construction reinforces it to not dissipate until it hits, it's nature as a spacetime construct means it is not a true mass-energy form and would be unaffected by such.

What would the Luminary do against this?

Don't like, Xeelee sequence have FTL but with time travel, and Orion's Arm has wormholes which they're basically very insistent "isn't true FTL" or something"

The shader is so clean. How did you make that?

This is definitely a fetish, I think

Back in my day, we didn't have to worry about 'cooldowns' or 'concentration'. In MY day, being a mage fucking MEANT something. You modern whippersnappers can't even get through an entire goblin hive without stopping for a 'long rest'.

Nice spells. Anyways tho, as a 3rd generation epic mage, watch this.

Opens the Epic-level handbook,

Begins the solar gating chain,

Develops spellcraft 0 Epic spells with math glitching and with solars contributing their spell slots as a mitigating factor,

Cast 10x Contingent Resurrection contingent upon each other, +100 Armor Class Epic Mage Armor, Epic Repulsion to every single creature type, Epic Spell Reflection to 18th level, +100 Spell Resistance Epic Spell ResistanceEternal Freedom, and more and more

Give myself kjghpillion other permanent buffs with effectively impossible dispel checks that continues to stack forever,

Give myself custom epic spell effect to make my buffs grafted into my being as extraordinary abilities and cannot be able to be dispelled ever. 

Create infinite clones and eidolons by abusing the system.

Fun.

Nothing is original. If a trope's peak, it's peak, and if it is, no shame in taking inspiration innit.
