  • Claustrophobia (3rd Level, Enchantment)
  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 30 ft.
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hr.
  • Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
  • You instill your enemy with an insidious, crippling fear that threatens to render them powerless. Choose a creature that you can see within range, forcing them to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is struck with an unendurable fear of being closed off and put into tight spaces, and is unable to willingly enter any area that is 5 square ft. or less in size. If the target begins its turns in such an area, they must repeat the saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened, and can take no action beyond attempting to leave the enclosed space. On a success, the spell ends for the target. The target must also repeat the saving throw if they begin their turn in combat surrounded by two or fewer unoccupied spaces, with the same results on a failed or successful saving throw.
  • At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration of the spell doubles for each slot level above 4th, up to a maximum of 8 hours for a 6th level spell slot. If the spell is cast using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell no longer requires concentration.

Claustrophobia

Jake learns about Amy’s claustrophobia the hard way.

It’s a Tuesday morning, almost a year after she arrived at the Nine-Nine, and for the first time since that day, they’re taking the elevator up to their bullpen together – usually when he comes in, she’s already well seated at her desk and reading over some paperwork, or patiently waiting for their morning briefing to start in said briefing room.

But for some bizarre reason, today Jake is on time at work – and even early. He should have known then, the minute he opened his eyes wide awake almost an hour before his alarm was supposed to go off and unable to go back to sleep despite his several attempts, that something would go wrong during his morning.

(Though, in hindsight, wrong turned out pretty well in the end.)

“Hold the elevator, please!” A voice calls as the doors are about to close before him, and Jake quickly pushes the button to prevent the engine from leaving. He watches as Amy rushes inside then, thanking him between two heavy breaths, having run not to miss the elevator before she eventually looks up at him.

“Peralta?” she exclaims, recognising her colleague, and frowns in confusion. “What are you doing here?”

Clearly, she didn’t expect to see him in there.

Can I take a moment to talk about how amazing Storm is in the comics, as a claustrophobic character?

a) She is claustrophobic! That is absolutely amazing! I don’t know about you guys but being claustrophobic is awesome!

b) She regularly talks about being claustrophobic! It’s not something mentioned once and never again, it’s something that she mentions reasonably frequently, especially when she’s trapped under rubble because, you know, it’s a major disorder, and it comes up all the time.

c) BUT the storyline is never about her mental disorder, even her specific storyline isn’t about that! It’s just another part of who she is. The closest it comes to being a major thing is that she has had unpleasant experiences while being trapped with the corpses of her parents and that comes up all the time - but the emphasis is on the issues with the claustrophobia.

d) Her claustrophobia is initially revealed to the X-Men when Storm, along with fellow X-Man Jean Grey, chases a thief into a New York subway station. Storm experiences a severe panic attack and struggles with being in an enclosed atmosphere. Storm was never treated for this mental illness and is not a shame.

She’s claustrophobic and talks about it when ever she’s trapped! You know how people talk about how leaders should be able to be mentally ill just like anybody else but it’s a huge issue because it always ends up suggesting that mental disorders are caused by bad experiences? Her claustrophobia is completely a part of her character! I thank Chris Claremont for that!

I really love Storm and the way she is portrayed in the comics and movies and she’s super important to me and I want all of you to love her too despite the fact that she’s been treated poorly in films and recently in the comics. She’s still Storm, no matter her mental disorder and you should love her.

Can you explain Y "people" in CBR R upset over Storm questioning Polaris in issue 4 page 10 (or 20)? IIRC, Storm doesn't have the ability of magnetism nor can she sense magnetism like Polaris and Magneto can. I know electricity and magnetism are related forces but Storm is weather, not electricity (clearly you guys knew that). Polaris is Magneto's daughter so it makes more sense for her 2 lecture Storm, since she linked with her dad b4. Polaris is the 1 with the ability of magnetism. Am I right?

TBH, my explanation is that people get upset no matter what you do. Trying to please people is a fool’s errand that I have given up on. People are not a hive mind (and they also love to bitch) so no matter what you do, SOMEONE is gonna be unhappy. I’ve just had to learn to let it go.

Avatar

Yes, I agree! You’re absolutely right! I’ll take your advise. I just hate the fact that “they” think Storm can do everything lol the logic of their argument lol. I blame “them” for making Storm too overrated.

BTW, I love the book. You guys are doing amazing. I truly can’t wait to see what’s going on. So excited! I have nothing negative to say. 

LMAO. I know what you mean. You can’t trust these people from CBR. They don’t follow canon and they post unconnected panels. The fact that they are trying to say Storm should’ve detected Magneto and not Polaris is beyond trolling.. LMAO. They are comparing Vindicator energy with Magneto… someone that has nothing to do with the magnetic field itself. Vindicator is not magnetic. Storm stating she can find him in the air is because Vindicator leaves a disruption in the air. This panel doesn’t prove anything about her ability to locate or sense Magneto. Polaris can and so does Magneto. I mean, they’re both magnetic… if people don’t know that they’re stupid. This mean Polaris is the only one who can sense her father since Vindicator is completely different.

Also, the bubble question it’s crystal clear that it’s pointing directly to Storm’s mouth LMAO.

CBR is a bad place to be. The site is nothing but trash. Polaris is a mutant who can charge her electric energy and store it for better use. A charger capacitor stores electric energy, and an inductor with current flowing through it stores magnetic energy. Her human body stores appreciable electric energy, because it conducts electricity too well (blood is a salt solution) to hold electric charge. Also, her electrical currents in her body are huge, so her appreciable magnetic energy is generated. Polaris doesn’t have to do anything, she can just sense it. It’s part of her abilities. Magneto leaving a magnetic trace of energy behind has nothing to do with weather. Vindicator is another story. I agree, it’s beyond trolling. Storm can’t do any of this.

Exactly, they don’t know Polaris’s powers. so due to pure ignorance, they choose to devalue her. She has shown some of the greatest feats in Marvel. You would think just based on pure respect for the character, they would stop hating but no, they choose to show the hate, envy, and disrespect other characters. So, let’s go there. Keep reading…

Storm can never be compared to Polaris, NEVER. All she can do is fly and make it rain…bitch is useless. If I need my lawn watered or a kite rescued from a tree, I’ll call her. Otherwise she’s useless. Comparing Storm with Polaris as if Storm has the same ability like those of Polaris and Magneto is more than envious. What they trying to say is that Storm is basically A COPY OF POLARIS SINCE SHE WAS CREATED FIRST IN 1968 and STORM IN 1975. They should be comparing Storm with Crystalia Amaquelin if they don’t like the idea that Cuckrum did made Storm lookalike a copy of another icon character.

I bet what ever those trolls said on those CBR thread are 30% of that post was out of context, 10% was not canon, and the last 60% was biased ranting. She can only manipulate weather, nothing beyond that. She controls the weather, in short. However, she doesn’t control the parts. For example, she can summon lightning. She can’t control electricity. She can summon the rain, but she’s not a hydrokinetic. She can lower the temperature or make it snow, but she can’t control ice. And that’s because Storm is limited by range, her own strength, and the limits of the environment. She cannot make weather where it can’t exist. No rainstorms in space, for example. Some people thought they understand the logic in storm’s power. In the comic, they’re all overpowered and make their power ridiculously non-logical! Storm’s power links to Earth environment so she should only be able to use weather element up to the limit that the Earth has to offer, period. She doesn’t control all forms of energy… only Crystalia Amaquelin can. The fact that she’s an elemental who can control the four elements while Storm is not a normal elemental because she only manipulate the weather (not fire, Earth, water like Crystal, because she can control all the forms of energy). People just need to stop speculating. They go around taking the powers of other characters they envy and adding it to Storm. *SMFH* I never understood why those trolls trying to compared her with all the characters they see and say “she can do pretty much anything they can”. ????? Again, that’s bullshit.

Sometime I think Storm’s “power” doesn’t come naturally. In Earth environment, wind cannot travel like 600 miles per hour or the pressure of air can never ever be able to deflect bullet. Even a thick cube of plastic couldn’t even stop a bullet from penetrating deep inside so what make you think increase air pressure can help????? Creating storm in one people’s lung? Bullshit! The environment in the lung is not favorable for any weather condition to form but Crystal was able to do that. Storm “can” suck out air from one’s lung by using vortex AROUND the person, NOT by controlling the air molecules to get out. Only telekinesis can do that. Storm’s power is not controlling the molecules themselves but spiritually link to the Earth!!! How can a tornadoes form like instantly? It takes time! Should not overcome the physic laws! Hurricane force winds whip around at 100 to 250 miles per hour, on estimate. That’s nature. But Storm can summon winds, while underground, to ferry a bomb through miles of twisting, turning tunnels to the surface in just a few seconds, without being able to see precisely where she’s guiding it? Bullshit.

I never understood Storm and I’m such a huge fan. All the other X-Men, to me at least, seemed to have “internalized” powers… something that is within themselves or derives from within themselves (like Polaris, Jean, etc). But Storm? She “manipulate the weather”. To me, that’s not an innate mutant ability, that’s witchcraft or some form of sorcery. I could never intellectually justify it (obviously, most of them are rather outrageous, but my suspension of disbelief has always been sorely tested with her). it does raise some questions.

I agree. It does raise some questions. I have something for those downgrading Magneto’s daughter while pretending to be her fans.

Say no more!

I can’t lol

Did they say anything about her mental disorder? I mean, her claustrophobia? It’s very important to me.

Storm. This is for my followers. What do you guys think?

I started practicing using Photoshop. I’m hooked! You know what that means. There would be more coming up. I just wanted to post this so you guys can see how I did. Please, don’t judge me. I just started using the program. I will get better, you’ll see. For now, enjoy.

Somebody come collect this great value Storm aka Ororo Munroe

Who is this light skint female?

Damn they just can’t seem to get Storm right…..

This ain’t my Ororo Munroe. This is in a faaaaaaaar off dimension of the X-Men lol

There is nothing wrong with her playing Ororo. She is a great actor, pretty, and she’s still an African. I don’t know how dark ya want Storm to be. We’ve seen Starfire of how dark she was and to be honest, she looked horrible with that hair and horrible for the character itself. Starfire is not dark despite she orange but culturally she’s not black. That was a mistake if they do this to Ororo I’m sure ya gonna complain too. Stop with ya racist bullshit of colorism because white, brown, black, blue, yellow, orange are ALL part of colors.

First off fuck you and your momma for basically saying that Ana the actress is too dark for Starfire. Sorry bot sorry but obviously you have no idea what colorism is and how it’s been a problem within Hollywood for the longest.

So yeH. You can suck a big one in my books.

Clearly you aren’t a true Storm fan if you think the actress that’s playing her is right lol ayyyye but whatever.

🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🙅🏾‍♂️

Fuck you and sorry for not being a racist like you. The actress is perfectly fine. She is still not a brown or white actress. She happen to be a beautiful African American. Starfire was horribly casted and we all know she was. Ororo don’t need to be dark because ya think she should be. What the fuck is wrong with the actress skin? You against white skins and now brown or light skins? I’m not a racist and the actor is pretty than the one who played Firestar. I’m a huge fans of Storm except that I’m not a racist like you comparing skins. I don’t go around tumbling comparing my skins to others and acting like my shit don’t stink. Fuck you and your mamma who probably wont be proud of your attitude toward colorism. Brown, white light or what ever the fuck skin is not better than mine but my nature African skin is no better then any either. Fuck you and fuck off with your racism shit being against another African like the actress playing Ororo. Fuck off racist bitch.

Lmfaoooooooooooooo

You sound stupid as fuck honestly.

Racist? Really lmfao.

You need to re-evaluate your life and how You view shit because that woman who currently play Ororo needs to stop snagging jobs and being the TOKEN light skin black woman for movies but hey do you and the actress who plays Starfire isn’t HORRIBLE.

Have you watched the show or you judging based on the poor marketing that the CREATORS put out.

So you yourself sound stupid as fuck saying that shit. Ana Diop is horrible lmfao you got your shit fucked uuuup.

If I sound stupid as fuck then you sound like a racist as fuck who have nothing else to do but going around criticing other African skins for being lighter than yours and mine. That Lmfaoooo make you look so ignorant and I can only guess you’re a dumb ass child.

I think the stupid as fuck is you for saying racist shit about other African actress. Ana Diop is not a bad actor and I never said she was but neither is Alexandra Shipp. But Ana playing the Starfire character was horribly and out of character for the character itself comparing Alexandra playing Storm which Storm is an actual African and not Firestar. Is funny how ya can criticize a actress for playing Storm but I can’t criticize the actress for playing Starfire? LOL You STUPID as fuck hiding behind the curtains talking shit about other skins and probably you’re lighter than Ana and me. I think you should just fuck off and get yourself a huge black dick and shovel it up to your ass that can come out through your mouth. Here in Africa there are many huge dicks comparing to the one in America. You need to come to Africa.

While coloring my big Fall project, I took a break and decided to work on everyone’s projects, and even scratch out a quickee project for my own enjoyment too. I drew a head, then a drew a mohawk…I leaned back and said “That’s Storm!” Drawn in about 2 hours

Can we talk that the kara and lena scene in the end happen in an elevator, like we know kara is claustrophobic and idk i just like how vulnerable kara was in the whole scene in a place she isnt comfortable being. Nice use of the enviroment basically

Oh, interesting catch! Definitely adds a charge to the scene.

And it offers a touch of anxiety to Kara here, who seemed equal parts relieved to have a moment in which lives and friendships weren’t at stake and presently burdened with it all:

Mutual

Rating: M | This is smut. No one under 18.
Summary: Fratboy!Shawn | You’ve been friends with Shawn since you started college. You’ve wanted him almost as long. Now, you’re learning that the feeling is mutual. (Also: “You’re cute when you’re jealous.” + “This hug isn’t over yet.” from prompts.)
Word Count: 3.6k

A familiar scent, the combination of cheap weed and even cheaper beer, crashes over you like a wave the moment you step foot into the fraternity house. You can feel the pounding of the bass beneath your feet, can feel it thumping in your chest, and you find yourself smiling at the sensation. It’s been months since you’ve stepped for into this house, even longer since you’ve been inside for a party, and you find your smile widening as you catch sight of friends lingering about the crowded living room.

You no longer feel claustrophobic, no longer feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of people packed into the house, as you wade through the sea of party goers. It’s second nature now, almost automatic, for you to return greetings and embraces, shouting over the music to be heard. You allow the sea of people to push you along like an ocean current and, in no time, you reach the makeshift bar just as you’d intended.

The scene in front of you feels familiar, almost as if it’s where you’re meant to be, and you relax against the wall as you survey the crowd in search of the most familiar faces. Being back on campus, back in the swing of things, feels like coming home and the thought almost makes you laugh.
