Default Re: Are Calabim obvious?

Regarding Transit Time, the Malakite can't return immediately even if it reforms instantly around its Heart, because it needs to get back to the spot of the fight. This means finding the Tether closest to the fight, negotiating with the Seneschal for passage, flying in celestial form (risky and noisy) or traveling in the new Vessel to the spot of the fight, and resuming combat. That might not take MUCH time, but it certainly presents a few obstacles (even an RP obstacle! mwahahahaha) to "instant return."

A demon lucky enough to drop a Malakite's Vessel should still get the heck out of the situation, since other Malakim are probably on the way, but it's not as if 6 seconds from the first Vessel Death the other Malakim arrive on the heels of the new one...unless you're assaulting a Divine Tether, in which case you really brought that on yourself.
