Oh I love it!! Totally gonna be participating! This is gonna stretch me a bit, but it’ll be fun. 😏

@whalekeeper

yes it’s very important! If you don’t agree though, just remember it when you’re a little old lady 😂 elderly people can forget to drink and get really dehydrated.

If you don’t like cringe romance, you won’t like it. The first book is pretty solid and I really liked it, however the plot is only complete with the whole…[Read more]

(btw, can I call you Macguffin instead of Mcmuffin?)

I have so many, but here is one that I can think of… one of my characters uses compressed gas that orbits around him, as a way to take out his enemies.

Ok, cool! So does it function sort of like an non-solid sword?

No, it is not unfair.  (In my opinion)

Alright, fair enough!

@jonas

Ok, that makes sense

@jonas

Ohhhh, interesting, but makes a whole lot of sense. I would assume that I’ve seen that by now, but I don’t know. I’m in the middle of Warbreaker, going to read Rhythm, then Lost Metal, then Sunlit, then I will have finished the Comsere, so if it’s in any of those, it’s probably the first two. Didn’t Hoid give Kelsier a good beating? Unless…[Read more]

@everyone

I don’t think Ontological arguments have been talked about on here at all yet, would that interest anyone?

@kathleenramm

Hey Kathleen! Did you ever want to pick the conversation back up? I did say a bit much, didn’t I😅

@jonas

Yeah, Invested Art is basically the in-universe term for magic system. I haven’t read LM either. I think Harmony was talking about having a difficult time acting due to the conflicting intents in the other WaW books.

That’s true. He did make a point that in character, he favors preservation, but in nature, he must yield to balance.

Oh w…

I try for hard worldbuilding.

Cool, me too!

Well it’s based around a battle in a land called Extroit… it’s supposed to be intense… but I don’t know.

Sounds interesting! You’ve come to the right place to develop it if your not fully sold on it’s current draft.

You know, I don’t really have one that’s a hard one, I like everyone and…

@jonas

Oh, also, is it the orb in Secret History? If not, could you at least mention where it’s found?

@jonas

Does invested art mean any of the local magic systems? Like Allomancy? I didn’t realize that Harmony was having trouble, is that in Lost Metal? Yeah, the scale and importance of Roshar would lead me to think it likely.

@jonas

Destruction tends to be a bit…messy, but you probably could get it precise enough to do that. These powers are going to be just being discovered in the story this is for, so I will get to explore the technological effects of them. I think these are going to give you nearly perfect technology in a lot of areas.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I’m the Arcane Axiom. I like math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and currently am working on a universe with my sister we call the Septrum.

It does make a lot of sense. I just wonder what the Dawnshards are in relation to the shards in terms of what they can do in the first place. The shards are wells of investiture, whereas the Dawnshards are only spoken of as “commands” as you’ve said, and the sleepless seemed terrified of the prospect of them getting out into the world, so…[Read more]

@jonas

Just looking at Fusion, destruction, amplification, and dynamism, I feel like there’s much potential interaction. I think there’s a whole lot of interesting you could do mechanically. Using destruction to precisely carve any kind of shape out of any kind of substance is nice, and that in tandem with pure fusion, connecting objects at a…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ve read both as well. The sleepless have been really interesting to learn about. And the Dawnshard was really intriguing, and having the background from what you’ve talked about before really helped.
