Forgot About His Powers: Difference between revisions

** Phoenix's Magatama lets the holder see "when a person they are talking too is locking something in their heart". Someone can lie yet said person could not consider the lie too be of emotional value too them, so they don't have said lie in their heart. Thus no locks would appear. Plus it's implied very strongly that in order for the magatama to pick up a lie, Phoenix must directly ask that person the question they are lying too. So someone can lie casually and it won't pick it up. Phoenix has too directly ask that person a question (such as "Are you the person who killed Ms. Victim?") in order for the magatama to pick up if the witness is lying or not. Also Pearls tells Phoenix that his Magatama only works "When he's going up one on one with someone". So it won't work in court because Phoenix is up against the prosecution as well as the witness. In terms of Apollo Bracelet, once again it's NOT a lie detector (I get a little annoyed when people call the magatama and bracelet lie detectors). It's something that lets Apollo know when a witness is acting nervous, so sometimes a someone will lie yet they won't cause his bracelet too react because they are not having a habit play up. Plus I'm sure the bracelet, while not used properly outside trials, does react sometimes too witnesses nervousness; such as when Apollo try talking to Machi, a foreigner, only for him too give up when he gets no reaction; {{spoiler|His bracelet reacts when he talks to Trucy about how he does not speak English. Hinting too Apollo that maybe he does understand what they are saying}}.

* At one point in ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', the characters are disarmed and rendered helpless. Ayla can still fight with her fists, but Robo forgets about his inbuilt lasers, and the rest of the party forgets how to use MAGIC until they're rearmed.

* Lancer in ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]''. Granted, it's not entirely his fault considering he's actually been ordered not to just kill everyone. But he never actually does net a kill with his Noble Phantasm -- the only time he kills someone (Shirou in the intro, {{spoiler|himself and Kotomine in UBW}}) is when he's doing regular stabbing.

** He tried it against Saber at the beginning of the game. It didn't work because her Luck stat was too high. (Considering that, the only ones his skill would work against are Archer, Rider, {{spoiler|True Assassin}} and {{spoiler|Dark Saber}}.) And he clearly beat Archer in UBW with the stronger version of it but didn't finish him.
