Reverse Shrapnel: Difference between revisions

** Joachim of ''Lament of Innocence'' picks up where it left off; he's [[Mind Over Matter|telekinetic]], and does a remarkable 'Weedwacker of Death' impression with his five swords.

* It's suggested that Razor Leaf works like this in ''[[Pokémon]]'', but with leaves.

* Icicle Edge, Fire Lance, Dark Savior, Crystal Strike, and Nibelung Valesti all do this in ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'' with different objects/elemental forces.

* The Hungry Friend spell of Jowy from ''[[Suikoden II]]'' does this with many, many, swords.

** Ice Bullets in the first ''[[Parasite Eve]]'' have a similar visual effect.

** Want a probable physics answer? The explosion of the missile releases the ice shards at the point of impact into a small sphere area, and then the, uh...the ''gravity'' from the missile explosions makes the shards snap to the target. So, uh, the second part is kind of flimsy, but...

*** Let's just [[Hand Wave|say]] it's a vaccuum created from the blast.

** A better example from the Metroid series would be the Power Bomb combos. Charging a single beam and then switching to morph ball with power bombs highlighted would result in one of these for each beam. Ice Beam has four iceballs circling Samus, while Plasma and Wave shoot to the corners of the screen and come back, and Spazer makes it rain lasers.

* The Crackle spell from ''[[Grandia II]]'' is kind of like this. Thousands of little icicles shoot up from the ground into the enemy, then a pause, then one massive icicle pierces them through entirely. Not floating, but still lots of little things stabbing from all directions.
