Well, the powers explanation comes in your help if my memory serves.
Almost every Majesty power but the forth + the third are broken when a breaking point occurs.
If a Santified is under your Majesty and you destroy something he is very bounded to, it could results in a Breaking point ending your enchantment. But, if he is under the effect of the forth + third he will not notice any breaking point (or maybe it was with fifth, not sure atm).

On the other side, with Blood Bound it's quite different: someone under blood bond is led to believe that everything his Master does...

So, would it be released next wednsday?...

[Marcus]

Yes....that's exactly my point XD Maybe I haven't explained myself good enough ...

[Marcus]

We were also arguing about how it is written. I'm completely fine if a power says: ignore physics, celerity do not add strength to your throwed stone etc. But here the power says: "Ignore collision" and people stated: yes but just the collision if you are throwed against something not if something is colliding against you....(see train example).

Now, I'm the first saying I'd rule it working just for landing or being throwed against walls, but it's also annoying when someone is trying to justify a bad written description at any cost, arriving to say: "...colliding means...

[Marcus]

Yes, that's exactly the kind of answer I expect by someone like you xD...

[Marcus]

BUT....simply what are you saying??? Things colliding with other things (no matter if one of the two things is a living being....it's always "a thing", with matter)... it's the very third principle of the dynamics. They teach it in highschool, Jesus!!! You can interpret the power in any way, but you are scientifically saying something definitely WRONG!!!

It really seems to me you are trying to justify, at any cost, something obviously bad written...
A more meaningful and honest approach would have been: ok the power is broken as it's written, I would personally go...

[Marcus]

Ok, physically speaking, weightless means without force, inertia, no action/reaction principle... so no hurt whatever is hitting you. It doesn't matter if you are hit or you are hitting something else. Because the strength that you feel is exactly the same that you are impressing. So if you are throwing yourself on a wall, with your mass, the wall "feels" your F=M*A (more precisely your momentum P=MV, that impress to it a force that is the variation of this momentum, or it's also better speak about energy) and it stay still with no harm while you feel all YOUR OWN strength applied on...

[Marcus]

No. You can rule it however you wish but the statment is clear when it says "... collision". And a FUCKING train hitting you is the very definition of collision.
Then, is this power cool or balanced? No!
Is it well written? No!
But still this's what it's saying....

I think the best Animalism is the Requiem (2ed.) one. It's still very thematic, as strong as the other disciplines, allow you to summon flock/swarm and control them at once, control other beasts (any creatures), mark the territory. It has everything and well balanced.
