It's just like any other system of belief. You can sit around praying for something, or you can cast more effective hexes, such as "hit this guy with my car," or "actually give him poison."
Lets hope all these internet witches don't learn the power of ~~direct action~~ real magic.
I get what you're going for, but maybe work on the wording? Because my immediate thought was, alright, you lay on the ground and I'll drop a nuclear bomb, and let's see which was more destructive.
My favorite move there when someone points out thing that contradict is to say, "Yes. That's what you were told." Imply there's something mysterious to uncover about why those facts don't gel.
Alternatively: "I'm giving you the real history. That's not what your character knows to be true!"
This is a glorious save. Well done.
A dear friend of mine was complaining about Greta back when she was still a kid, saying what right does a kid have to complain to nations? I huffed. I pointed out she has more right than any of us- the most of her years are ahead of her. She can't control what world she inherits, only the people she's screaming at can do anything.
Back in the 90s, when I realized what shape things were in then, my adults just told me to shut up. They said they didn't care. Greta had supporting players who let her express herself on these, the things that matter. I wish we had more kids whose parents let them address the world like this. It's going to be theirs. They should have a say in what it looks like.
Also those new movies were a lot more fun than they had any right to be.
"Dong" being penis made this even funnier.
"You can show your dong to kids, but heaven help you if you teach them about marijuana!"
"Punching someone in the head can be just as fatal as stabbing."
I'm genuinely surprised people don't know this.
Punching someone also has the risk of being fatal.
I don't like arguing from a legal standpoint, because a legal standpoint is not necessarily a moral one, but where I live, things are different.
This joke is made all the better by the character's name being Dr. Kalgary.
I immediately thought of an Everlasting Gay. Like the Everlasting Gobstopper.
