don't you think sun skills should be fire damage??

Bigevilpeter · March 2016

I mean everything about them says fire, but hey lets make them magic damage.

I know that this will make templars also a dunmer must, but it really makes much more sense.

I thought they were....

I'm not very good at mmo's lol

Nope. Nirn's sun is not a star like ours. Magnus, the name of the sun and the god whom caused it to come about, is a tear that shows through to Athaerius. Nirn's sun is raw magic. While I hate the idea of Templar and 'sun' magic, at least it is more reasonable with lore.

UV rays ?

A sun is not made of fire, fire is combustion via rapid oxiadition (i.e. oxygen). It's mostly plasma from a nuclear fusion of superheated hydrogen, with it's omitted light coming from ultraviolet radiation.

So...Templars are nuclear powered?

This^
It's a hole in the sky and so are the 'stars'. Why it's a perfectly round hole is a debate for another day

Guess that explains why my vamp can sun bathe without issue. Vampire Redguard, trying to get that color back.

No. Because the sun (stars) is photon energy. So all Templar abilities should be photon related.

bedlom · March 2016

Not really.

kendellking_chaosb14_ESO · March 2016

Trolls aside with names like Sun Shield and Burning Light you would think it was fire damage.

But I also thought Nightblades would be the Frost class cold Shadows that kind of thing but ZoS likes it the way it is.

In TES lore, sunlight is pure magic. If anything it's weird that the sole templar skill Sun Fire/Vampire's Bane/Reflective Light deals fire damage, and not just because the schism between light (Anu; creation; magic; mer) and fire (Padomay; destruction; change; men) is pretty thematically important in the lore.

Exactly why Templar's should gain access to mini nukes

Then the others should gain access to power armor

They already do: Jesus Beam.

Not to bust anyone's bubble but nuclear refers to atomic nucleus the dense region of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

The Sun is a main-sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.

At one point two of the skills were.

Just on a lore point, I think very little is pure Anuic or Padomaic anymore, certainly not the aedra or even all the daedra. The battle between Anu and Padomay caused a mixing, representative in the mixing that resulted in the clash between Auriel and Shor(Sep?), where even the symbolism of Akatosh is tied up between Auriel and Shor in the form of the Dragon (Reptile-Eagle mixture). That's just my thought about things.
