 I'm tired of this light magic barrier bullshit.

Lasers. Something to actually attack with because like hell I'm going to let myself stand there like a dumbass while someone comes at me and tries to smack me around.

So who knows how to do them and where can I find them.

Ah, Bakugou-kun!! You're using my idea!!!

[THAT MAKES HER REALLY HAPPY.]

WHEN SOMEONE ACTUALLY GIVES ME A GOOD IDEA OF COURSE I'M GOING TO USE IT!

[ Hoo boy, is it engineering nerd time? It's engineering nerd time! ]

Well, I suppose that depends on what type of laser you would like to make. Probably the easiest would be a solid-state laser. You could provide the light source, then you would need a laser medium-- often a ruby, garnet, or sapphire-- which you could either purchase from a jeweler or have an alchemist make for you. Then, of course, you would need mirrors, and a special lense to focus the output of the light...

[ Holy shit that's so much talking but... ]

[apshot]

Stop. My brain's going to bleed. To much work.

I'll just reengineer my gauntlets.

I've been working on it. That magnifying glass idea might work, if you can make another beam to fire through it using the glass as an amplifier?

[apshot]

Did you listen to the nerd of nerds up there? Sounds like that might be the option.

[It can't be this easy, right? Right? It's this easy. Speaking of easy.]

Why don't you just learn to defend yourself on your own instead of relying on a flimsy thing you obviously have no practice in?

[ HOW ABOUT YOU SHOW YOUR FACE WHERE HE CAN GET TO YOU! HOW ABOUT THAT, HUH? CAN'T DO SHIT NOW CAN YOU???

Er... ]

How about I take that smartphone and shove it down your throat? When I want your opinion I'll ask for it!

I can’t say I share your magic here, but back home I was fairly skilled at manipulating barriers. I can’t promise this will work here, but could you perhaps use them to reflect attacks back into your attacker? Or, maybe learning to let them shatter like glass if they’re broken?

Again, I’m not certain how it would work here, but those were a few tricks I used regularly.

[apshot]

[ It can't be seen, but Bakugou worries at his lip. A barrier that can reflect attacks back... ]

Shattering is still too too on the defensive for me. [ But he isn't actually dismissing it, honestly. ] How would shit reflect back?

[ How does it work in theory? ]

[gundhamster]

[The voice that comes in response is one soaked in both disdain and smug condescension.]

Truly the mark of a novice lacking in any sort of imagination. You have been handed a tool and are complaining when the tool refuses to do anything on its own. And here I had higher hopes for the mortals of this place.

[apshot]

OI!

Are you in a room or some shit?

voice; un: hello

[luminatus]

But people can't come at you if you use a barrier.

[apshot]

Yeah, obviously. That’s the problem.

[ All smiles on her screen ]

You know, I bet you could probably engineer something to help with that! Technology and magic work really well together, so you could maybe create a way to magnify your light into a laser!

[ Just don't ask her how, all she ever did was use Merlin's inventions. The creation of them was all a mystery to her. ]

[apshot]

Some of my gear made to amplify my explosions. Shouldn't be too hard to rewire it.

If someone were to come at you with an attack, would it not be beneficial to have a shield to defend with?

[apshot]

Not if I want to come at them with an attack? Are all of you deaf? Or just stupid?

[fullgauntlet]

Kacchan! ... If you're looking for something that can help channel your light magic into something concentrated like a laser you might be better off looking into some sort of gear that can help concentrate light until you can do it on your own.

[He is pondering... The gears are ticking in his brain...! Could he use- Alchemy?]

Do you still have your gauntlets? There has to be a way to modify them for light magic...

[apshot]

Ponytail beat you to it, nerdface.

Maybe you should work harder on your alchemy magic.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

But there's plenty of things you can do with light magic. It just requires thought and strategy.

That's not too far above your head, is it kid?

[apshot]

And I don't recall asking advice from the senior senile citizens.

If you build that barrier around an explosive, I bet you could make a decent defensive grenade out of it.

[apshot]

Might make it less effective. When you do that you cut off oxygen flow.

You can always blind them while you hit them with something else. That's what I've been trying to do.

["Trying" being the key word, but hey, it's just a suggestion from a stranger. The guy can take it or leave it.]

[apshot]

The blinding part comes easily. That was something that I could do before.

[trustheart]

Man, I gotta' give you credit for going with a beam weapon. It's a solid choice, even if you don't have light magic.

But I take it from the rest of what you said you use normally use explosives? High-ranged or short-ranged?

[Priorities, Chris...]

[apshot]

...

I don't use explosives. [ Get it right. ] It's me. I create the explosion.
