Just what are Syndra's black spheres? A theory about how a moody teen could destroy the world.
So we know they are round. And Black. And that they must have quite some mass and density because it really hurts to get one of these thrown or kicked into your face.
Furthermore Syndra's powers include levitiation and holding an entire fortress in the air just because she wants to. The thing is: when lifting an object with magic you still have to go against the force of gravity. The bigger the object, the more energy has to be used to lift it up and keep it there. Very simple basic physics here. So simply keeping the castle up would require such impossible amounts of mana that only two options are possible:
a) Syndra is drawing power from a limitless resort of power. This could be cosmic power or the Void, or something else, but I doubt that this is it, as such power would probably burn her alive or at least cause siginficant changes in her human appearance, such as it does with Malzahar.
b.) She's not actually going AGAINST gravity when levitating or letting things float. She's manipulating it, changing the way how gravity interacts with things.
However, if she was a gravity-mage, then what exactly are those black round things with incredibe desnity and mass?
Ya all know what a gravitation-singulary is? It's when there is so much mass in a small space that it starts pulling more mass to it, resulting in even more gravitational pull building up. This is commonly known as a "Black Hole." Under that aspect it's also interesting how the spheres appear when she summons them: the blackness is being gathered and concentrated into the middle. I am not sure what exactly she compresses there. Just air? Dust? Light? The generally magically charged atmopshere of Runeterra? Probably it's a but of everything.
And then the mix gets sealed up soe it makes a nice ball that just keeps swallowing light that hits it's surface.
However, what if she doesn't seal it up once? Theoretically she could make these spheres as big as she wants. And in theory, this might enable her to create a singularity powerful enough to destry the entire planet. And you know what#s the most funny thing? She's got not a single clue that she's able to do that, because she's just a moody teen that uses her magic following her instincts while having NOT A SINGLE CLUE ABOUT HOW PHYSICS WORK.
Imagine that. The power to destroy the world in the hands of a moody, probably mentally unstable 17-19 year old with a god-complex. And she does't even know it. Seriously, I thought Lux was dandgerous from being able to cause nuclear fusion at will. (View this thread for more on that). But now we have a lady that is able to potentially end the world with her powers.
Seriously Riot Writers. Stop creating walking nuclear bombs. Runeterra is already dangerous enough as it is, with celestials, darkin and whater lurking around while Demacia and Noxus stand at the brink of open warfare. IT REALLY IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH ALREADY.
Excuse me, but the Dark Spheres of Syndra are moved by telekinesis, not a "gravity magic"... and those balls are made from dark magic, not black holes.
