Theoretical OP question

[Thalia]

Is a good question, to which I don't have much answer. The majority of my characters are channelers, but barely any of them actually ever channel (beyond trivial things). When Ori fought Ryker I think she was significantly stronger, and certainly more skilled, but she was fighting to provoke not win, and ultimately that played against her. We just decided things cooperatively there. As to the question, I don't think I particularly considered what she was capable of at the time, just went with what made a fun scene.

Ori is my only "master" and the others are generally handicapped in some way still, either with blocks or the way they understand channeling itself. Or they haven't had occasion to use it much. To be honest I mostly forget to upgrade skill and power level. I should probably look at that for some of them actually, ha.

With channelers like Thalia who have a comparatively low strength I have always assumed there will be things she can't do, but once/if her skill level is high enough she would be able to handle complexity with the things she can do. What those things are I would probably just decide by what felt right for her character.

Not a helpful answer lol. But interested to see how others see it.
