Okay, one way or another, I'm not going to convince anybody of the difference between soul energies and mana, and it's a fruitless argument. His Reaver Spells aren't what is going to defeat Magus anyway. The Reaver itself will.
The faulty assumption that you all seem to be under is that the Wraith Blade is a magical weapon, and it's not. It's an energy blade that has the ability to channel certain types of, magic through it. The Reaver requires no mana or soul energy to sustain itself, it just exists. Like a lightsaber with a mind of it's own. Therefore, Magus' barrier has no effect on it. Secondly, it has been proven that the Masamune is not inherently a good-natured blade. In Chono Cross, it is revealed only that the blade's nature reflects it's master, hence the reason why it was an evil blade in Chrono Cross. The Reaver acts in the same fashion. Raziel wields the Reaver with the intention of restoring balance to Nosgoth. Those are heroic intentions, therefore the blade reflects his good nature. Therefore, Magus is susceptible to damage from it, regardless of which elemental Reaver Raziel uses. Why would it not matter which elemental Reaver he uses? Because the elemental energies held within each Reaver are not magical. They are the pure natural essence of the element represented. Magus' barrier doesn't protect him if he gets caught in a landslide because it's not magical rock, it's just natural rock falling on him. The same attributes are given to the Reaver. Quote:
Raziel has a particlualrly nasty TK attack called "Stasis Field" which locks the enemy in place for about ten seconds, which would be more than enough time for Raziel's Wraith Blade to cut right through Magus' scrawny hide. Either way, there's not much to say about this fight. Trying to argue that the Reaver Spells would cut through Magus' barrier is pointless becuase they're not his most powerful attacks. The Reaver and his TK abilities are his greatest asset, and neither of those abilities are magical in nature, therefore, Magus has no defense against them. |

Magus could go in Melee with Raziel and he would counter attack very often with his spells. Raziel would end up owned in no time. As Magus unlike many character can counter to anything that damage him no matter the ammount. |

Raziel is the far superior melee combatant. All of his attacks and abilities are available to him whether he's on the ground or in the air, while Magus cannot cast spells or attack effectively while in the air. Raziel has the added bonus of his Stasis Field attack which will lock Magus in place for up to ten seconds. Plus, if Magus tries to flee, Raziel can pull him right back with his TK grab. Also, if Raziel wants to be absolutely sure of his victory, he can use the Material Reaver instead of one of his elemental Reavers, and it will do normal damage to Magus because it has no elemental properties. Magus doesn't stand a chance. Raziel: "Your soul isn't good enough to be fed to the Reaver. I'll watch our undead friends devour your miserable carcass." |

Chrono Trigger. So Slash is an magic attack ? Cylcone is a magic attack as well ? (Melee attack that hit nearby creature) Triple Kick is magic ? If you remember correctly and im sure you do. The god of war says Ayla CANNOT use magic but it does consume MP. The god of war also say robo cannot have magic because he is a machine and they have no inner strength. Final Fantasy 9 Steiner Swd Skill! Magic ? Zidane Trance Skill! Magic ? Super Mario RPG Mario jump is a magic ? Do i need to say more? It's not because it is MP dependent that it is magic. Quote:

Magus Spell are far from superior to the one Raziel got. Raziel weaponry is supeior to the one of Magus. But it heal or scratch Magus. Magus weaponry can deal much more damage considering the scratch/heal level of the Raziel weapon. Magus Says "Your history! Play with fire and you get burned." |
Um... I didn't think that the Masamune hurt Magus because it was good... I thought it hurt Magus because it was made of Dreamstone.

Okay, let's really deconstruct Magus' abilities, shall we?
In the second battle with Magus (the optional one in the Dark Ages) his strategy changes entirely. During this second battle, Magus' barrier does not work. In fact, Magus casts no magic until he's lost about half of his life. Why? Why would he choose to use a less effective strategy against opponents that have already defeated him once before? I'll tell you my theory. It's because his barrier doesn't work outside of his castle. While on his own home turf, he has enough power at his command to single-handedly tear holes in time. But, when he gets sucked into a portal sending him 10,000 years into the past, he finds himself stranded. Outside of his domain, he loses a great deal of his power. Considering that Raziel is not fighting Magus in his castle, it could be argued that Magus' barrier doesn't work at all. Plus, it's also a fact that after Magus joins your party, normal weapons and melee attacks from enemies can do him normal damage. It could be argued that his weapon defenses are also attached to his castle. So, it's very likely that in this fight, Magus doesn't have any special defenses against weapons at all. A second argument that I could pose is that even if Magus' barrier somehow managed to work in this arena, he's got one major weakness in it. During the first fight with Magus in Chrono Trigger, the player is told by the game which spell type Magus is weak against at any given moment. Considering that Crono and his friends never encountered Magus before, and therefore they didn't know anything about his elemental-change barrier, that obviously means that they can tell what his elemental weakness is just by looking at him. Perhaps his aura glows a certain color or maybe it's something else, but obviosuly Magus has some sort of visible giveaway that alerts enemies as to what his elemental weakness is. Raziel can change Reavers instantly, and therefore he can damage Magus at any time with almost no preparation. Quote:

Either way, you have no arguments to fight back with. I've responded to everything you've said and Raziel has an airtight defense. Let me summarize this as simply as possible. 1. The Reaver is not magical, therefore Magus' barrier does not absorb it. You said it yourself, Magus' barrier absorbs magical energy, and the Reaver is not magical in nature. Robo's Laser Spin attack is magical, Spekkio says it himself in Chrono Trigger, that's whay Magus can absorb it. 2. Magus' barrier either doesn't work outside of his castle (which is why he can't use it when he joins your party or when you fight him the second time) or if it does Raziel can tell what Magus' elemetal weakness is just by looking at him. Plus, because he's not in his castle, Magus weapon defenses might not work at all, considering that normal melee attacks from enemies do him damage when he joins your party. 3. In this fight, Raziel is using the Reaver to defend himself so that he can continue his quest to restore balance to Nosgoth. He did not willingly pick this fight with Magus, and Magus did not willingly pick this fight with Raziel. Raziel percieves Magus as a threat to his life, and therefore a threat to Nosgoth's balance. Therefore, he is using the Reaver with good intentions, therefore it does normal damage to Magus. 4. Magus has absolutely no defense against TK attacks, therefore his advantage of flight is nullified, The instant he tries to lift off into the air, Raziel will pull him right back down. Plus, Raziel can deal him normal damage any time he wants by simply slamming him through a few feet of concrete headstones, or into a crypt wall. 5. This one is my favorite. Magus has no ability to heal himself whatsoever. His only opportunity to heal himself is if his magic barrier works (which I've already basically proved that it won't in this fight) if Raziel casts a Reaver Spell that he can absorb (the Reaver is not magical, therefore it won't heal Magus) and if Raziel isn't paying any attention to what Magus' elemental weakness is, because obviously, he can tell just by looking at him. Basically, Magus has no chance in Hell of healing himself. Magus can't possibly win. Raziel: "Nice scythe. Let's see how it looks imbedded in your skull." |

He would be able to restore Nosgoth and the tournament wouldnt have anything heroic about it. Nor, would it affect Raziel quest in ANY way. Quote:

Here a part of the script i just went to fetch quickly showing that Lucca does reprogram.
Marle What?! It might attack us! Lucca I'll make sure it won't.* Machines aren't capable of evil... ... humans make them that way.** Marle Lucca, you... pity them, don't you? Lucca Let me get to work now, okay? *She will make him not be able to. Isnt that a proof ? **They judge based on what they are programed to do. This isnt a will of his own. |
Amazing...
Anyhow, the first * is sufficient. |
Heh, true but i dont know how long ago you played the game. So i figured that by puting more would help refreshing the memory of the event when it happen. :)

however, in the context of this zeleron melee.. as you people are the creators and have the last say.. whatever you say goes Quote:
if the robot were pushed to certain point why wouldnt it be able to "override" this limitation? the ability of a robot to have a "will" is highly debatable.. the definition of the "will" is a grey line and constantly touched issue by many works of literature what you are saying that a robot can never have a "will" of its own.. but are you so sure of that? how are you so sure that a machine if given the ability of self consciousness and thought that it cannot ascend to a level of having thta ability? |

The Spectral Reaver - Raziel's Reaver in the Spectral Realm (non elemental) The Material Reaver - Raziel's standard Material Realm Reaver (non elemental) The Dark Reaver - Elemental Darkness The Light Reaver - Elemental Light The Air Reaver - Elemental Air and Concussive Force The Fire Reaver - Elemental Fire The Water Reaver - Elemental Water/Ice The Earth Reaver - Elemental Earth The Spirit Reaver - Purified Spirit Energy (not allowed) Sadly, he does not have any sort of Lightning-based Reaver but I have a solution to that. Should Crono cast Luminaire upon Magus at any point, it is considered to do lightning-based damage, but it is very obviously not an electrical attack. It is a light-based spell (says so in the instruction booklet and the player's guide), therefore, technically Light magic is considered in the same category as Lightning magic. So, Raziel's Light Reaver can obviously substitute. Raziel can switch between those Reavers instantly and by doing nothing more than thinking about changing the Reaver. Considering the fact that Magus obviously has some sort of flaw in his barrier that alerts enemies to his weakness, Raziel can instantly change his Reaver to suit his new attack method and Magus can't do a thing about it. Plus, should Raziel find himself sick of constantly switching his Reavers, he can use the Material Reaver to do non-elemental damage. Magus has never, under any circumstances shown an ability to absorb non-elemental attacks. Quote:

Magus has no defenses. 1. He obviously needs a circle of power, an altar and other materials to summon his barrier. Those items in his throne room aren't just for show. Since they are classified as items, and since he's not in his castle, he has no access to those things, and therefore he can't summon his barrier. 2. Even if his barrier somehow works, Magus obviously has a giveaway with his defenses. The game tells the player which spells to cast, and therefore his weakness is plainly visible. 3. Raziel has a Reaver to match every elemental alignment Magus can use, and a few that Magus can't. 4. Robo can use attacks that deal magical damage because it is Lucca's willpower that gives him the ability. He has no will of his own but he has the will of someone else, and that is why his Laser Spin is a magical attack, which is why it is absorbed by Magus' barrier. 5. Magus still has no defense against TK, and being slammed into a stone crypt over and over will eventually either knock him unconscious or kill him entirely. His barrier protects against weapons not being crushed by a boulder. Raziel: "You may have survived the Darkness, but there are fates worse than that. Enjoy spending eternity as food for the Elder God." |

Why would it change element because it create light ? Ultima is considered a non-elemental spell yet it is a full of light. Crono attack is doing lightning damage it wont actualy change because it's called Luminaire. He can only use attack of the Lightning element. Told again by Spekkio. Twisting the spell wont make you win :) So he can do fire damage ? It still is no required for Magus to cast Fire. As for the physical i still see no reason why it would actualy be doing any sort of damage that would be more then puny on him. Quote:
