Added DiffLines:

** If the castle never touches the ground, then the only way to reach the castle is to fly. Anyone who can fly to the castle can just as easily fly ''over'' the castle's defenses, which defeats the purpose of having a castle in the first place.


Added DiffLines:

** Bob also suffers from altitude sickness, so nobody has the advantage in the end.

* '''Deconstructed''': Lord Bloodstone begins to suffer from altitude sickness, which makes him unable to fight Bob at full strength and ultimately facilitates his demise.
** Alternatively, the effects of altitude sickness are what kill Lord Bloodstone.
** Alternatively, the logistics for getting food and water to a flying castle prove to be Lord Bloodstone's undoing.
* '''Reconstructed''': Lord Bloodstone's castle is encased in a force field that alleviates the negative effects of being at such a high altitude.
** The castle can lower itself to the ground to take on food and water, as well as to allow Lord Bloodstone's troops to enter and exit.
