Some of the powers are literally too destructive to use but a gravity sling or some other tactic may be usable. Anyways, it is good to know that effective railguns would be a rarity | |

I mean, if we are using magic, we can just handwaive it and make it work - but the author wants some link to reality - in which case trying to justify using Magnetism over the other far more destructive options is just... well - I'll leave you to finish that sentence. | |
| Oct 3, 2023 at 20:25 | comment | added | Trioxidane | Is it a fair comparison? The magnetic force might be small, but the size is extremely large. If you have access to all magnetic forces of a star, couldn't you condense all that magnetic power into a tiny package? A billion tiny magnets together still pack a punch. I read some pop articles and none answer this well. | |
