Does it hurt when someone goes through your spikes? (Not for the person who accidentally got touched, but you, yourself.)

If the contact is ultraparallel to the tangent plane of my primary surface, yes, it hurts, it damages my spikes. Magical weapons of suitable degree may hurt as well. Asymptotic contact is an aggressive action on my part, even if undertaken by another.

Shallower angles of contact are pleasant to me. I unfortunately understand that they are not always pleasant for the person contacting me. I am now intending hard to restrict to forms which are not in this way unpleasant.

You are now thanked for this question!

Is contact ultraparallel to the tangent plane of your primary surface something that can happen to you accidentally, or do you reflexively take measures to prevent such contact, so that it'd only happen if someone was deliberately trying to overcome those measures in order to harm you?

It is extremely difficult in locally-Euclidean regions. In more hyperbolic areas it can happen accidentally or intentionally on the part of my brother-enemies.

That makes sense. Thanks!
