Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 4040470" data-attributes="member: 710">Or the Ice Archon is suddenly encased in frozen air, unable to move...Since he isn't dead yet, the ice will eventually break, but this weakens him - until the point where he just hasn't the strength anymore, and, after a few cone of colds, he is just frozen in place, forever. Alternatively (what works for both Fire and Ice Archons): They are just swept away - their body combines with the "element" and the magical bond that keeps the Archon together (and moving) is broken. On a physical/scientific level, all temperature is movement (usually on a very small scale, like from molecules and atoms). A Fire Elemental/Archon has a finite temperature, which means there is a higher temperature. To be able to move in the way a Elemental does (he doesn't need a "fuel line" to move), something must keep him together. If something manages to "add" heat to the elementals temperature it is possible that this bonding force is overwhelmed, ripping the Elemental apart. The rips may be filled with other fire, but this fire is not part of the Elemental, and it works as well as cutting a human in pieces and trying to "repair" him by putting flesh in the resulting holes (which means it can work, but not on a "big" scale.A Ice Elemental/Archon has a low temperature. But if he was at 0 K, he couldn't move (especially not in the way he probably does. Quantum Effects might still allow a little bit of movement, since he can't stay at 0 K anyway.). There is force at work that keeps him cold, but also not too cold. If you can get him cold enough, the force that stabilizes his temperature can fail. It's as if you would cut off the blood supply of living cells. If done shortly enough, it can be repaired, but if it's to long, the cells die. If enough cells die, the Ice Archon dies...So, is that enough physics in your magical creatures? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
