[ On one hand, knowing where the edges of Yuuta's barrier will help their allies know exactly where the limits are, but on the other hand it's kind of a shame they probably won't see any Kenoma smack comically into it as they charge at it.
Still, nice to know he won't also smack into it as he reaches out his hand, running it along the "wall" thoughtfully. It definitely doesn't give the impression of being that sturdy, but it is nice that it's doing its job of keeping him in.
He calls back to Yuuta as he stays standing by the curtain's edge. ]
( if they're going fast enough, it might be possible that they could smack into it...
the question seems odd to yuuta. )
Huh?
( he jogs from where he was standing near the river, arriving to stand alongside ernesto. he reaches out to place his hand on the surface of the curtain, even going so far as to tap it. his face screws up with confusion. )
Well... That's kind of new. I mean, there are a few methods of taking down a curtain โ knocking out the sorcerer that's casting it is the main one, though sometimes you can disrupt it by breaking its rules. Like, say if I made a really restrictive barrier to keep just you in, but then someone else rammed their way through from the outside. In instances like that, they can pop like a bubble...
But this, um... Honestly, I don't really know. ( a pause... ) Do you wanna try - hitting it?
[ Ernesto considers that for a second, his hand drifting to the hilt of his sword, and his fingers tapping along it. Truth be told... ]
I don't really want to mess up my sword on a magical barrier, though I wonder...
[ He looks down at the ground around them, walking a few paces before he picks up a pretty decent sized rock, and tosses it up into the air for a second, catching it a second later to check its heft. ]
This only works on people, right? So if I were to chuck this at the wall would it smash into it because I threw it, or would it go right through?
( this is going a bit beyond the specifications that the canon gives me for how curtains work, so this will simply have to be my best on making sense of how it works... )
Ah. Yeah. There's a chance it could damage it.
( there's a reason why yuuta typically reinforces not only his body but his sword as well โ it prevents it from chipping or snapping when using it against things that... swords probably shouldn't be used against. like concrete, cars, reinforced bodies of other sorcerers...
he looks at the rock, and he has to really think about it. )
I think it... depends. It might go off of intent. Like - if you're just throwing the rock to see how far it goes, it might go through. But if you're throwing it with the intent of trying to damage the barrier, it'll probably absorb the "attack"... if that makes sense.
[ Working off of intent, huh? That's an interesting way for this to work, and that could make this trickier too, because now his question is less about intent and more... ]
If that's the case, then what about if we're not aiming at the barrier itself...
[ He looks at a tree that's a little distance past it, closing one eye as he tries to take good aim. ]
But aiming at something on the other side of it?
[ And with that question ask he lobs the rock as hard as he can with the full intention of hitting the tree.
It's not a person, so who is to say if it'll work? Might be nice to know beforehand before they're trying to ward off an attack, and people are firing arrows at them. ]

How much of a beating can this take?

sorry about that!
