* I had to get deep into the [[FridgeLogic fridge]] for this one... If Ammy's power is based on the faith of the people at the time, then why isn't she powered up when she goes back in time? The same goes for Shiranui when she goes forward, she should be powered down!

\"Incredibly Lame Pun\" is about the reaction, not the pun itself, and you should not pothole puns to it.

Added DiffLines:

* One thing. Many creatures from the game (except Yami, Nechku and Lechku) are based on monsters from the japanese folklore, including Oni, Tengu, Orochi, the Spider Queen (Jorogumo) and Ninetails. Yet, Crinsom Helm seems completely out of place here. I can't remember of a japanese equivalent for it (except, peraphs, the Ushi Oni).

**** Himiko isn't praying ''to'' Amaterasu to ''ask'' for Amaterasu's safety. She's ''in Ammy's name'' --that is, she's offering her devotion so that her faith empowers the goddess. It's the same as at the [[spoiler:end of the game, where everyone prays ''for'' Amaterasu]].

*** Forgive me, but I don't see how that is relevant. Queen Himiko is one person praying for one thing, when the one who can provide it is sitting right in front of her so praying is redundant (because she can just come out and say it) and ineffective (Gods have wants and needs too, and would just give it to themselves if they needed it).

** And because Flame Spiders immediately dump you off, so even though the fire doesn't hurt you, you still can't ride them.



* what exactly happens whenever ameratsu applies the brush techniques? Does it stop time? Is she doing it really really fast? EXPLAIN, GAME, EXPLAIN!
** When you are fighting with Ninetails she/it can use her brush too, so it must be some kind of time stop where amaterasu leaves her wolf avatar form and watches everything from her goddess place.

** It might be a representation of a divine power at work - a type of hyper-focus where you work and think so fast that the surrounding world seems to stand still. Yami, Ninetails and other semi-divine beings are capable of the same feat - either influencing your divine powers (Ninetails and Shiranui), or react to them (Yami).

** I believe Orochi as well, moves even when the Celestial Brush is on, which can be kind of creepy. My guess is that it works in some kind of... higher plane timespan. Hence why these more powerful creatures are aware of it, but like Ammy, can't really move their physical bodies. To other people it will look like "A God's deed", something happening instantly. I have always like to "jump - brush - draw lily pad - land" because I imagine doing this would give the awesome illusion that lily pads are appearing instantly on the water where Ammy is about to land.

** Actually, when wearing the amulet, fire doesn't do any damage. You react to being hit, but you don't lose any solar pieces no matter how much you get hit. Test it. Go put it on, jump on one of the flame spiders, and notice you don't actually lose health.
