[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 2048084, member: 2020"] Ok, that can also be done. Normally, a Sphere cannot be accelerated past 3 miles per hour, but I don't see why the Wolf - an enterprising mage if ever there was one - couldn't have figured a way around this limitation. An acceleration of the Sphere, is possible once the Pomarj is lifted above Oerths' atmosphere. At that point, the Sphere can be accelerated at 3 miles per hour per second. (It can also be slowed at the same rate.) Escape Velocity for Oerth is about the same as Earths', or 36,000 miles per hour, so it will take a while to accelerate the Pomarj to that velocity and thus create zero gravity conditions on it, and establish orbit, but it can be done. Paxus, you are then casting the required AFTS spells and manipulating the Hyper Reality around the Pomarj, so that it can be lifted, right? This is not something you can conceal from the other Powers of Oerth. They will know you are planning this, for they know of the historical attempts by the Suel Imperium. They also know about the historical side effects. They will feel your manipulation of the Hyper Reality: other demipowers and certain very powerful mortal mages on Oerth will sense that manipulation, and recognize it for what it is. And of course the casting of AFTS will most certainly be felt and noted. Paxus, are you still going through with this? [/QUOTE]
