Or, rather, the earth itself would move away from him at that speed. If he went into the earth, the kinetic energy of their impact would be an extinction-level event.<br/><br/>The new skill just slows his motion relative to earth's spin, so he can make a super-speedy dash when facing west.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Alright, the GM/Science glasses come out.<br/><br/>Stopping all motion he is undergoing relative to what?  You'd need to establish the frame of reference for 'all together'.  Remember your General Relativity 101 kids.<br/><br/>For Lionel's semblance specifically, I imagine it as the semblance increases his mass for purposes of resisting a change in his momentum (but not gravitational attraction).  As far as physics is concerned he's literally more massive when it's active.  The greater the required change, the greater the drain.  All of this would be based on a velocity he's travelling at the moment he activates the semblance.<br/><br/>Magical dust and soul aura powers are all well and good, but I won't allow us to run willy nilly over the rules of GR, or quantum mechanics.  Capiche?  C:)
