Apparently not... you've been caught in the current just like the rest of us.

Watt I don't understand, is how we've all become so magnetic over the concept of scientists of the FORGOTTEN REALMS.

The Realms are a Strong Force, and our willpower nought but a Weak force.

Its the fundamental forces of our eclectic personalities that tend to have us gravitate toward Science.

I cannot believe how much debate this has sparked off.

Eh? What's all this buzz about over here?

Oh, I am positive about the existence of electric scientists in the Realms, and I would agree with Eladrinstar that they aught to placate Talos a lot. Most would be evokers that barely can suppress their pent up energies. So much so that they can be recognized by their static induced risen hair, and sometimes displays of random discharges of jolts when in contact with someone or something grounded.

There is a certain level of resistance to the current flowing discussion about scientists of the FORGOTTEN REALMS. It's almost like we're a closed circuit to the possibility of furthering the actual topic of the scroll.

Then let me flip the switch. I'm positive that most Realms scientists are likely gnomes or Gondsmen, or perhaps gnomes who worship Talos AND Gond! Yikes, that's a hair-raising thought!

Well, Sage, you're the conductor here. If you feel our endlessly powered puns are impeding the topic, then simply charge in and we'll alternate the flow. Things do seem a little static, no need to be all coiled up about it.

Our mutual capacitance for such discussions has sparked my inductance to this conversation from where I sat in isolation within the joule-covered halls of Farad while experiencing reflection on the various Watts of the known multiverse and engaging in amplitude modulation of my mantra of Ohm with an exceptionally high-frequency resulting in a generalized hum.

The alternating current of this discussion arcing between transmitters and receivers have created a field of distortion that has caused insulation stress to the velocity of propagation of my thoughts. The dielectric breakdown experienced caused the current carrying capacity of my brain to suffer multiple Hertz because the disruption felt like many Bels were ringing out in my head. Additionally, the dielectric heating resulting in insulation stress caused megahertz to the continued conductivity of my current circuit of reasoning.

The direct current of my response should therefore allow resistance to any further leakage, interference, or inductive crosstalk and keep it from affecting the ionization of thought at the speed of light which allows my floating above the ground.

I therefore thank you for the chance to engage in such voltaic rating with a periodicity described as sinusoidal or intermediate frequency and which allows me to discharge my thoughts before they become static and begin to occur with low frequency.

I am now going to go enjoy a corona.



Good Hunting!

You will undoubtedly find this difficult to believe after my previous discourse centered around electrical trancendentialism but in reality...


... I'm just a really helicopter pilot.
