    Pffft. Magic does crazy things to the square-cube law, but it does crazy things to the rocket equation. ∆v? Yeah, I’ve got some in this spellbook

    Delvers LLC has some aspects of this, with one of the characters making guns that accelerate projectiles via magic.

    Also The Wraith’s Haunt series features a “system” that polices the use of magic/foreign technology and erases anyone who goes too far with either.

      World’s finest assassin gets reincarnated as an aristocrat is really good about that first point as well.

      And creature girls: a hands on field study (or something like that) is really neat for that second point. It also discusses a lot of biology and politics, although the political discussion is dogshit. Its also super fucked up and basically porn.

    As long as you don’t have some deity like Knowledge restricting information from alternative realities.

    Stupid Knowledge, let Clive find out about gravity already.

        I’ve read one where the guy basically had Minecraft powers and so he built a wall and then destroyed the supporting blocks and the wall stayed floating in air.

        It had the potential to be pretty interesting, but it quickly turned into a monster girl harem manga.

        Not that there’s anything wrong with that in and of itself, but I gave up on it when the lead heroine used sleep magic so that the average japanese man MC could be raped by a bunch of harpies.

        There was also a disturbing amount of butt stuff forced on the MC. Kinda weird all in all.

          You’re not talking about “survival in another world with my mistress” are you? He has minecraft powers and does fuck harpies, but i dont remember any rape or butt stuff. Although yeah, it was definitely a lot better before they started introducing a ton of new characters without filling them out.

          If I wasn’t so familiar with manga and anime this would sound disturbing. But this barely tickles the feeling.

        The whole issue with that is not only about weight, that hardly scratches the surface. Heat transfer, friction, radiation, mass transfer, etc. all get limited by this in some way and are FAR more consequential than weight alone.

      I think essentially everything affected would weigh less so you could build bigger stuff using less power to move and less support to hold stuff in place though if you wanted to make mechs I wonder if impacts would still have the same affect as it everything weighed more

        I understand now that TO exclusively was thinking about weight, while that is only one of many things that are limited by the surface to volume scaling.

    Reminds me of the grimnior series where they have “heavies” that affect gravity and with the help of that same magic in the form of glyphs they make a giant mech suit called the nishimura super gakutensoku
