Argh, I've got a zero error. 80 Sieverts. And it's about stopping the guy on the spot--keeping them from doing anything (say, launching a missile.)I meant 800 Sieverts. That's what the military figures they need (neutron bomb) to stop someone on the spot. 10 Sieverts is certain death but it takes time and the idea is to dump enough radiation into the guy that he doesn't get an action before it takes him down again.I'm not saying the radiation would kill. I'm saying that if you make the box hot enough it will disable. The military figures 800 sieverts stops you on the spot. The brain simply doesn't work under that kind of exposure. The wizard has no defense against this unless he has already crafted spells for the purpose.800 sieverts is probably enough to nearly instantly kill a regular human being, as 50 sieverts is the estimated amount of exposure you'd have after standing for 10 minutes next to the Chernobyl reactor after explosion and meltdown.
I think you probably meant 800 microSieverts or maybe milliSieverts.
My point here being that micro is 10^-6 and milli is 10^-3.
In other words one Sievert is 1000 milliSieverts or 1 million microsieverts.
That's seem way over estimated. I'm not saying that the military didn't publish such a finding someplace, but I'm fairly certain people will be rendered unconscious well before such insanely high levels.
I've read some accident reports that would have much lower levels of exposure and people were regularly being knocked unconscious.
I guess if you want instantly dead via radiation then it I guess it
reasonableworks (totally not reasonable)...but for most people you would just be better using a gun.
I cast teleport and you lost your missile

Assuming you would even want apprentices. I personally wouldn't. maybe because I'm selfish but if someone else had even a shred of power, that person would be targeted/coveted by a lot of groups out there.Oh god i'd NEVER teach those techniques.Just some real world examples of areas where my views and other people's differ.Madness....

What?I got that.
I'm just worried I accidentally stared into the abyss too long, and now it stares back.
The world has truly gone mad especially given some of the stuff people are pulling with this that is only self serving but because its "social justice" if you call them out on it you're the bad guy.
In a world where i'm not sure if other people have the same kind of power, i would not be a wizard or cleric, i would be this, ensuring that i'm still top dogInteresting approach. Though I can't help but wonder how an apparentice taking the same approach would duel you . . .
Apprentices are useful teach them to say level 6 wizard they're no threat to you and your mystic power but now they're a target for the world because they're weak enough it may be possible to capture/bribe/convince them to teach what they know to others. Divert the worlds attention to the squishier target while you maneuver things into place behind the scenes to ensure no threats can arise against you without your knowing about it.

Woo boy, yeah that's an order of magnitude and makes substantially more sense.
Thanks for clarifying.

Too bad I didn't notice this discussion until now.
But yeah, going by Starfinder's standards and putting game mechanics aside, the Mythic Wizard in question is powerful enough to clobber encounters that are capable of annihilating entire technologically advanced spacefaring civilizations, single handedly.
Trying to fight off the Wizard in this case isn't the answer, because it won't be a "fight" to begin with.
