yes, but unlike all other ways, Crystal Way uses the pure energy given by the Azure Sun.
Also other thing: Red Way is pretty much about chaos. Laser seems to be harmonic to me *shrugs*

I\'m afraid I have to back Draklar here.  (on Crystal having laser)

The Azure sun emits light, light is a form of radiation.
If the Crystal way focuses pure energy from the crystal then it is focusing light, radiation.
However, if \'pure\' means good/wholesome/healing...
But it\'s called the \"Crystal Way\" Thusly it depends on the powers of the crystal, radiation is one of those.
Therefore...

The Red way is focused on fire.
It\'s also focused on destructive spells.
Fire emits light (radiation) and heat.
Although fire\'s light is dim, it\'s still light.
...and a laser spell would be a direct attack spell, no?
Therefore...

Both Crystal and Red ways have this spell.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

Crystal Way has offensive spells as well (particularly effective against dark creatures).
also: Red Way concentrates on chaos and devastating fury of fire. I wouldn\'t say laser is anywhere near chaotic or furious type of spell...

Yes I would imagine the spells of the crystall way would be something like Sunbeam from DnD, which can instantly kill vampires. Or turn undead, etc.

Edit: Sorry I was eating pizza and hit the post button by accident. As I was saying, the spells would be harmful but especially to undead. How would a laser be more harmful to undead than to other stuff?

ya Drak\'s right, a laser is a really organized and shoots straight to a pinpoint location. I mean then Karakth would kinda be right because if what Draklar says claims to be true, then the energy from the crystal sun would be classed as \"holy magic,\" which would in term do serious damage to undead and dark creatures.

and how would casting beam of azure-sunlight (;)) be effective against undead? It\'s all the same, only laser is concentrated light... Light might destroy creatures formed by darkness *shrugs* who knows... :P

And now, the thread-killer reply:

Let\'s just wait until a version of PS comes out which includes a spell like laser and find out.

ok, I think it\'s kinda obvious that laser == light and light == crystal way(or light magic for that matter),  so I don\'t know why you had to discuss this for so long.. all offensive spells in the crystal way could be considered lasers, but I really don\'t think they\'ll be named like that.

Just to inform you, spam = stupid pointless annoying message(and no, this isn\'t \"official\" ).

the point was that I had no point, so in theory I did have a point. Muahahaha!!

Lasers should be defined as a mix of magic. Because the outcome of an intense beam is usually fire, although the main beam itself is energy.

Most spells are a mix of glyphs - not just LASER beams - even something as obviously Red Way as a Fireball can include glyphs from different ways.

Druke is right.

A fireball like a meteor? (The rock counts as brown way and fire is red)

or

A fireball of pure fire that looks like a ball. Like when you cast Firaga in Final Fantasy series. (Just red way since its pure fire)

EDIT: removed the quote, I thinks it\'s more clear to see what I\'m responding to now.

Does the outcome really matter? the spell only creates the beam..(the beam in turn creates fire, the fire creates ashes, the ashes make plants grow better, so you could even put it in the brown way like this! )

And do we really have to discuss the correctness of an example now..

why yes, we must discuss the correctness of it now. :P

You just love quoting me all the time. I understand if you care about me a lot. No need to be ashamed. ;)
