: Oh hello squishy bird people. I hope you like fighting!

But seriously, good luck attacking a city made out of anti magic when you yourself are magical. Guerrilla tactics can only work for so long.

This raises an interesting question: how does petricite affect magical beings? Would vastaya just slowly die near petricite as it saps away their natural power? Or does it only affect the more overt manifestations of magic?

Poppy is a magical creature, but she tends to roam Demacia's rural areas. I thought that was just because she's on a quest and all, but maybe the petricite in the big cities is harmful to her.

Interesting. I wonder if being near Galio hurts Poppy then.

EpicurusApr 11, 20171 votes

It would really ruin my art if it did.

Until I am contradicted, I shall believe that Galio represses the use of magic, but does not affect a creature's innate magic. For example, Veigar would not be able to cast spells near Galio, but would otherwise be fine despite being a magical creature.

Well I certainly have my concerns.

It might after a long time, but Yordles seem like Deus Ex Machina levels of powerful. Poppy one-shot a monster as big as a mountain casually. They must have a TON of magic for Galio to drain.

Which means... a Yordle could make the best companion with Galio.

Galio keeps 'em in check if they're that OP, and they keep Galio up and moving!

Ah, that was why I hate Yordles, thanks for triggering my introspection!

I'm not sure Yordles themselves are inherently magical in nature in the same way as a Vastayan. They use magic, like how they manipulate glamour to appear a certain way to certain people (whether it's intentional or otherwise)

But fae are closer to spirits, whereas Vastayan's seem to be creatures made from magic itself.

It'd be safe to assume that a Yordle's glamour wouldn't work on Galio, but I'm not entirely sure petricite would harm them.

Warghaboo or whatever his name is, the red, stated Vastayan (at least the original) were born in between this world and the spirit world.

Sexy Jack RabbitApr 11, 20171 votes

Well that's exactly what I mean. Vastayan's body's are part magic as a result of this in-between. Yordles on the otherhand are completely from the spirit world, so I doubt petricite would be enough to harm them.

PlacentasApr 12, 20171 votes

Was it confirmed Yordles are from the spirit world?

Sexy Jack RabbitApr 12, 20171 votes

Yordles are confirmed to be fae, which come from the Spirit world. Riot might have a different interpretation but reading between the lines implies they are following traditional definitions.

Well, Shyvana lives in Demacia and I think all it does to her is suppressing her dragon form

That's pretty interesting I wonder what it would be like for galio to be near someone with as much magical power as or Syndra and especially lissandra considering she's immortal-ish

On top of all that, Demacia isn't really at fault here. They didn't create petricite, it was naturally formed. They simply mined it and built using it, in a wild place that was already magic dampening. If Xaya means she wants to change the way Demacia treats magically attuned humans, that's another story. I see Xaya as being anti-human. I'm also confused at where the whole lore push for making the world large fits into "Demacia doesn't know Xaya exists but in the other side of the world, she hates them"

Xayah: "After Ionia, I'm coming for Demacia." Shen Hey. Zed How's it going? LeeSin We heard you talking shit. Irelia And we came as fast as we could. Varus So which one of you feathered fiends is first?

Xayah: Um... Rakan? ...rakan? Rakan:http://pa1.narvii.com/6250/147955cb58f33bf33ea46135ef333aea7eb0966a_hq.gif Xayah: RAKAN, COME BACK!

You better come back to this comment and edit in the icons when they come out. :P

After they take care of Xayah.

A Rioter (Jaredan I beleive) did mention that petrecide would be at the very least highly uncomfortable for vastaya to be around. At most I beleive they would be severely weakened around it, and even die when around it for too long.

Xayah is going to get a nasty surprise if she decides to attack Demacia.

It was WAAARGHBOBO, iirc.

Yeah, I think it was. Thanks.

ValeckseraiApr 11, 20171 votes

In Shyvana's lore, they mentioned how bad it felt for her to enter the Demacian village because of all of the petrecide.

Glory ln DeathApr 12, 20172 votes

So, what you're saying is...

Xayah should go after Piltover and Bilgewater first to get some cannon and Hextech technology and combine them together for a giant, long range weapon to nuke the crap out of Demacia.

TyrekGoldenspearApr 12, 20171 votes

Precisely. :D

Unless of course petricide is immune to magic attacks of that sort, then they just wasted their time.

Glory ln DeathApr 12, 20171 votes

Nah, they only use the Hextech for the actual firing mechanism to make a super long range, high speed weapon. The projectiles would be normal explosives.

Fondling GemsApr 11, 20172 votes

Galio reminds me from Shale from Dragon Age: Origins. I mean their attitudes are completely different but I can't help but imagine that they share an equal hatred of those damned pigeons that keep shitting on them.

Also, what the heck does she have against Demacia? They hate mages, they don't want mages... So that means that Vastayas can have all the magic they want.

RebonackApr 11, 20171 votes

Well. I guess it depends on how petricite impacts ~~furries~~ vastaya. We know that it absorbs magic since that's what animated Galio. We know that it fouls spellwork without question, both the act of casting spells as well as spells already cast. What we don't know about is how it effects innately magical creatures. My gut reaction is that it would be like casting Horrid Wilting on someone in more extreme cases. Because apparently the vastaya are made of magic in about the same way that vertebrates are made of water (or so I've heard).

It doesn't take that much dehydration to kill... well... basically anything that isn't a waterbear. So following that line of reasoning, I suspect the vastaya would be exceedingly vulnerable to any magic-draining effect. To that end, I can't imagine them doing that great in a place like Demacia. It would be like watching a sea-sponge trying to roll across Death Valley. After all, nature abhors an imbalance. High concentrations of anything will equalize with their surroundings if left to themselves.
