	In-universe this was shown in hilarious fashion, as several [[Ravnos]] Methuselah couldn't even slow down their [[Antediluvian]] Zapathasura during his rampage through the Indian subcontinent when he woke up. By comparison, a trio of Bodhisattva from different Dharmas who've ''never worked with each other before'', were able to pin him down in Bangadesh for a night and a day, and not get flattened in the process.

	~~Of course, [[Mage: The Ascension\|the Technocracy]] nuked them soon after, but that's not the Bodhisattvas' fault now, is it?~~
