Muggle with gun vs wizard9/2/2023 ![]() ![]() But, why would a soldier be pitted against a civilian? Instead, try imagining a fight between trained Aurors and Hitwizards against army soldiers-that is a far better match. There also seems to be a lot of posters taking wizards for granted-mentioning facts like the Muggle Army trained soldiers would pwn the average wizard who'd be so surprised he wouldn't be able to fight back. Since we're not handicapping Muggles, why would we handicap magic? muggles-but magic is magic, and science is science. Not only Dementors, but hundreds of other magical creatures (Dragons, House Elves, Lethifolds, Merepeople, Giant Squid, Sirens, Centaurs, Phoenixes, Boggarts, Basilisks, Werewolves, Vampires, etc) will aid wizards against the Muggles-and really, what can Muggles do against them?Īhh, and perhaps someone will argue that we're purely arguing the case for wizards only vs. Ahh, except for perhaps blindly nuking areas suspected of being filled with these creatures-but that's pretty far-fetched, and we don't even know if a nuke is enough to clear Dementors. I also see there's not been a counter argument against the use of Dementors-for which there really isn't any Muggle defence for. ![]() Without help from magic users and dissent from within, muggles are screwed and will easily lose.Ĭlick to expand.Perhaps because those wounds were caused by a werewolf?! The thing is, like Taure pointed out, it requires muggleborns/halfbloods to help out. Panic would grip the general populace, just like the muggle populace will experience with imperious, about who is a traitor and who isn't. Imperious them then have them be cannon fodder for suicide bombs or use magic to kill. The same spells that can be used against muggles can be utilized against wizards and witches. Even if muggle biological weapons do not work and cannot infect other wizards from the inside, surprise in the form of a hidden bomb is enough to destabilize the government in one fell swoop.Īlong the same lines, muggleborns can use magic in itself to do damage. How hard would it be to plant bombs nearby in one area by a muggleborn, using magic to conceal it? If you don't know what's coming, how can you protect yourself? Walking one second, dead the next.Īlso, if any muggleborns were willing to sacrifice their lives, a suicide bomber can do quite a lot of damage if it is unexpected. In that case, all it takes is using magic to conceal muggle weapons in which the outcome truely becomes hazy. As long as they are promised and guaranteed survival and allowed to rejoin the muggle world peacefully afterwards with many benefits, both in monetary terms and power, more than a few would be comfortable helping out. It wouldn't take much persuasion in benefits, immunity, and protection in the future to convince some muggleborns to help their side. It's like accepting FTL travel.Ĭlick to expand.Nothing is ever so definite in sides however. Personally though, I've little trouble with it. It grates against the two most basic laws of physics, conservation of mass-energy and entropy. I think this is the reason why fanfic authors are hesitant to have wizards be able to conjure all manner of objects with perfect fidelity. The biggest problem with saying that wizards manipulate matter and energy is that it is unclear where the matter and energy actually come from. There must be some limits on the ability of these charms to immunize wizards from harm. Surely that must mean something in the case of flame-freezing charms. A more powerful wizard can levitate heavier objects, for example. We know already that the degree of magical power is proportional to the output. We have to develop ground rules for magic somewhere. ![]() Eventually it reduces your argument to saying, "Well, muggles can't beat wizards because they lack magic." And that's not very insightful. To say that it is just "magic" without mapping some sort of scheme onto it for the purposes of analysis defeats the entire point of this thread. He does so by exerting a force on the object. ![]() When a wizard deflects an incoming projectile, he is manipulating the speed, direction, etc. Click to expand.Why exactly do you think it is the case that the laws of physics do not apply? It seems more likely to me to describe magic as manipulating matter and energy. ![]()
