Move Approval V

[The Humble Sage]

Devour the Voice of the World: This looks fine to me, but I'm curious: does the silence effect do anything or is it just fodder? I ask because some people use silencing as a sort of defense/counterspell, so I just want to make sure it doesn't grant any other benefit.

Avatar of an Ink-Stained Soul: Sounds awesome. Approved.

Dueling Cane: Approved at 600.

Hoisted Sails: This would require Telekinesis rather than Remote Control since you're grabbing someone rather than manifesting something to manipulate. Does this have a cast time or is it active as soon as he chooses to wave his hand? Can he use other moves while doing this? What's the range on this? By default you'd have Telekinesis range to play with, but you'd then need to mention how it's less effective far away. If it was a smaller range you could probably get away with not having falloff, since it's so costly to use.

I had been intending it to be used as fodder, I could see there being some tactical use in a group conflict, but nothing mechanically about the move itself. It wouldn't prevent any attacks or spells from happening, just their sound would be trapped in the book instead. Would that constitute the extra 800 OM for its utility?

You make a valid point about the Telekinesis. Since I am just basically pushing them off the ground, I hadn't thought I needed to go the whole distance and buy the power but it is moving a prime. I don't know whether I want to give the Sage fullblown telekinesis as part of his portfolio, so I'll have to think about this one some more. Thanks for your insights though.
