Official Move Approval IV

[Clownpiece]

The other version was fine, just make the charge time 5 seconds and the maximum height you can throw people 20 meters.

Alright, 20 meter max height for dragging people skyward.
I'd much rather have a self-debuff though, so would the one I suggested work or would I need to go longer/harsher on it?

It's really an unnecessary Debuff. I mean, it's not needed at all. On top of that, it makes no sense. You charge up a high jump and that forces you to use more energy for your other moves?

Also this part; "Somerled's general magic use (basically his movements) is tripled" is a little confusing, is he moving around at triple his speed, or does it take triple the energy that is usually required to move?

Also, if it is the first one, then I would have to deny it anyway, because we don't allow self buffs, outside of transformations.

Unnecessary how? A large debuff to replace a large charge time. Somerled doesn't care about harm or hindrance to himself, just look at Whiteout and Lightning Strike. Short cast and a large effect at the cost of his well-being.

As for It making no sense. It's a thematic debuff along the same lines as Whiteout and Radiant Being.
Wind is inherently chaotic. Somerled is capable of creating wind but not controlling it, therefore when he uses magic related to it, it also serves to work against him, fighting against his movements and disrupting his ability to cast.

Somerled's general magic usage, his typical energy expenditure for things like moving around and throwing his fist at people, is tripled. It's a pretty small number to start with hence why I went with triple rather than double.

I'm sorry, but a 2 second charge time is just not enough time to gather enough energy to throw people up into the air with you.

Is there anything that would work other than a 5 second charge time? The only way you're not escaping the AOE within that time is if your top speed is a whopping .5 m/s, or approximately half the walking speed of a typical human.
