Theoretical OP question

I'd forgotten a min strength requirement. Teach me not to read the rules.

I thank you for your input. As far as the horde goes he'd likely lose control if shielded. More fun to push his belief he should be dead. I'm pretty sure he's safe from zef with the limiting but we'll see. Still lots to get through.

Definitely have a better grip on the limiting.

I agree. When in doubt always circle back to what's most interesting for the character, that's my motto. That can be good or bad for them in outcome. But Nox has definitely had more than his fair share of bad. I'm glad he's (probably) safe from Zef.

Well he's safe from the going 'mad' bit as long as he isn't shielded lol. But he has a mouth on him and it gets him in trouble. Hopefully none of those issues for a while. He's still hoping for the best in his current situation.

I really tried to be as vague as possible when creating the channeling 'rules' for the FA in order to give people as much freedom as possible. You could always do a wait and see and when the situation arises that there is a limitation on channeling, discuss the specific example and we'll as a group figure out how that might work like in your example of is it possible to channel 3 orbs of light while only wielding a power level of 10. I'd just wait and work it out when the time comes because there are so many combinations of examples to consider. 

Ultimately, yeah, I specifically wanted to avoid hard rules like dragonmount's so everyone would have the freedom to do what they wanted with their characters. Of course, the trade off to more freedom is that there aren't clear answers, and this is one of those times I think. lol
