SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: MaddmanI'll take your word for it, as I'm a rank n00b when it comes to Nobilis.  I'd thought aspect would pretty much let them do what they like if it's related to thier paticular sphere of influence though.  Maybe a power of chemistry?  Or alchemy even?  That seems pretty remote though.
No, Aspect has nothing to do with the Domains. It measures the distance between all the physical, mental and social abilities of a common mortal and those of a miraculous being, and it allows you to do anything that ordinary human beings can do, only exaggerated further and further until the actions reach mythic proportions. With Aspect, you can potentially jump over continents or juggle cities, since those are ridiculously powerful versions of jumping and juggling. You cannot create something out of thin air or read thoughts, since those have no mundane equivalent. And as a special expection, you cannot make someone fall in love.

Now, the Power of Chemistry would be able to create that nuclear bomb. Actually, any Noble could with some effort transform an instance of their Domain into the bomb: the Power of Cats could do that some unfortunate moggie, for example. The real problem comes with the consequences, since you couldn't actually use the bomb without being dragged before the Locust Court for judgment.
