You know what? Yeah, lets kick things off with murder. +1 to Zultan.+1 kill!
+1C+1
Killing them faster is always an effective way to resolve a combat situation.
F
It's not a term being actively used by other concepts, and it rolls off the tongue reasonably well, or at least no worse than other common names for arcane disciplines. The other two options are each missing one of those.
+1+1 i dont care what we call itD. Ferroturgy, obviously.+1 I like the sound of using their bullets against them.
There’s few solutions to hostile technology quite so elegant as ferroturgy. Metal bullets, metal wires, metal blades, metal armor, all raw material to work as you will! Honestly, you’d be surprised that it wasn’t more common, if you hadn’t invented the discipline yourself.
For example, let’s take these bullets being fired at us.
I mean, literally. Let’s take the bullets, as they’re being fired at us. Don’t even bother letting them get any closer than necessary, that would waste time and introduce unneeded risk. Let’s just grab them out of the air and throw them at similar speeds at the people we want shot instead. Especially whoever’s manning the autocannon - it’d be easier to wrest control of it away if there’s not somebody immediately at its controls.
(Note: ferroturgy is metal-magic. “Metallurgy” doesn’t work due to already being a different thing, and I refuse to use “-mancy” as a general-use magic suffix when it is and always has been specifically for divination.)
