Hey guys! Uhh.........why is there a battleground of comments from when I was gone?

Okaaay, let's all get along!

Hey wikiacontributor, do you mind if I continue on your idea that emotions don't work with thoughtforms? Thanks!

Matt, I see where you're going with the idea of a placable shield that reacts instantly. A slight modification, emotions work best with psi, while thoughts work best with constructs. So, while you are right in saying that the shield would flare up, it wouldn't be because of the "scared" emotion, rather the accompanying instinctive "fight-or-flight" thought process.

Arro, you are also equally correct. When a person gets scared, they do lose concentration on the construct that they were manually controlling (that's where auto-shields come in :D). Of course, in a public place scaring will likely make others think that you are a psycho, but then again so is the idea of doing an attack like the "Scream of Rage" *gags, then chokes*

I see where both of you are going with this, but you are both correct. When a person gets scared, they do lose concentration for a few seconds, about 3, but then their thought-process intiates the fight or flight instinct which makes their shield reappear slightly stronger.
