This is like saying you would be tired after lifting a pallet with a forklift. Many magic systems are about using magic in the world around you, which only requires you to understand how to use it; the energy being consumed doesn't come from yourself.

No, if you were just worried about energy, you would be much less tired than by doing things manually. For example, moving a heavy object downhill would gain you energy, not lose it, and keeping a heavy object in the air would neither gain nor lose energy. it would only be lifting that is hard, and it would still be easier than lifting manually.

Edit: and according to Wikipedia, human muscles only have an efficiency of around 20%, so doing basically anything through magic would be 5x easier than doing it by hand.

Obeying all of the laws of physics, magic wouldn't work at all. Assuming you were able to break a few but kept some such as conservation of energy, it would be very powerful, ex: teleportation does not break conservation of energy as long as you teleport to the same height you left from. If you were able to extract energy from your surroundings, you could probably do basically anything you want. You could lower the sun's heat by a degree and be able to move a mountain.

megane_kun 13 points 3 years ago

Cool! Every time you manipulate gravity, your body loses mass in addition to and proportional to how much energy is needed to do the manipulation.

Which part of your body loses this (additional) mass is totally random. It could be your fat, it could be your brain tissue, it's all random. How the mass is lost depends on what is the most likely way it'd be dissipated.

I wasn't really thinking much about it, tbh, but it's more along the lines of "cell burns glucose to create energy", or "random photon hits skin cell, making it slightly warmer," or in the more unfortunate circumstances where the random part of the body is, say, a brain cell, it could have not much choice but to "spontaneously undergo nuclear fission."

It's me trying to cover my ass, tbh, and make things more interesting by just not going "E=MC² thus things go boom!"

I suppose you can go use the power safely most of the time, but there's a chance that something important might go off in the most unfortunate way.

OK I get. How about if it's not random, but the amount of force I need to use is dependent on where I take it from, according to importance to normal bodily function.

Like if I wanna make a leaf fall off a branch, it's my finger nail, and I can sort of, as a baked in part of the power, decide where I gets taken from as long as it meets the required energy?

You conserve your angular momentum, so if you move at all in latitude the earth we'll be moving at a different speed. It would be like stepping out of a moving vehicle onto the freeway but a whole lot faster.

You are never truly sure again if people are actually listening to you or even like you or they are just enchanted by your power. You are never again able to form meaningful relationships with that doubt in you mind, you can never find true love and become a recluse.

Side effect: Newtonian fluids change their behaviour to that of non Newtonian fluids and you can't pass any of them in a hurry. You can run on water now though.

Running on goopy water sounds great, but hydration might become an issue if I have to eat water like it’s non-Newtonian pudding

I feel like there was a movie similar in premise to this. This person had the power to go back to any point in their life and live it out from there. Essentially being able to load older saves but not newer ones.
