Theory: Blizzard and Wind Direction
Experiment
[It appears as though more were to be written, but there is merely a streak and a blot of ink where more words may have begun.]
- Forethoughts: The elemental ice spell, commonly known as Blizzard, can be utilized any number of ways, though manipulating one's own Aether into a flurry of chilled air and ice shards is what seems most commonly taught. Â By this, and in accordance to elemental opposition theories, I speculate that it may be possible to create either a 'nullifying sphere of chilled air' around an object to protect it from an encroaching wind, should the elemental repellent be stronger, or perhaps a redirective Aetherical ice column, should the difference in pressure be stronger. Â A drop in temperature should affect the pressure of the surrounding area, thus, potentially, altering the winds.
- Note: It may be thought that Fire spells may work better for this, however, from an Aetherical elemental perspective, Fire may increase the strength of Wind, (and the testing will be done in Thanalan, where it is already plenty hot.) Â Perhaps an experiment using Fire will be done in a more chilled climate. Â Later.
Experiment
- Try during a dust storm.
- Create a small 'flurry sphere' by manipulating one's own Aether of Ice.
- See if the winds appear to change from the outside looking in.
- Attempt to create the 'flurry sphere' around an object.
- See how the object is affected.
- Depending on this, attempt to create a 'flurry sphere' around one's self.
- Record how one's self is affected.
- Attempt to increase the size of the sphere, and repeat.
- Also record how taxing it may be on Aetherical reserves; if needed, ascertain that Umbral Ice is present to mitigate energy loss.
