Cloaked Mystery

@a-r-kuhn

Hi! I’m Jonas/Cloaked Mystery. I’m a current homeschooler in 12th grade. I write fantasy, and as @highscribe mentioned, the two of us are working on a fantasy universe. I particularly like designing magic systems.

I also am bad at asking questions as is tradition, so I’ll leave it to others!

@keilah-h

It’s a fairly common trope, but now everyone automatically thinks of Among Us. It’s weird how certain things just become so popular and pervasive.

@keilah-h

I don’t play that game either. I was not thinking of it at all 😂

I don’t think there’s any problem with the idea, but if other people don’t want to 🤷‍♂️

@highscribeofaetherium @thearcaneaxiom

And while I’m at it, I might as well share this other magic system that I started a while ago, but just made some updates to. It has no name as of yet.

So this is the one where you can shift your mass from one part of your body to another. Here are the exact mechanics.

On Razath, pieces of celestial debris…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @highscribeofaetherium

So you know Essenceburning? At this point, I’ve completely abandoned that, but I still might make a somewhat elemental magic system. I recently created (at least the beginnings of) two new magic systems. One of them is essentially an entirely fire-based magic system, and it isn’t very complex so far. The…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Maybe you were just expecting it to be a larger paragraph.

@trailblazer

Ah yes, thanks!

@highscribeofaetherium

I did include them.

@princesachronicle22

I can also give you a list of the characters in play.

@Savannah_Grace2009 owns Ottoline and Marcurious.

@trailblazer owns Kari.

@Beth-Torres owns Carrie (same name, different spelling XD.)

I own Ellis, a warrior who owns a magic talking sword named Conviction; Kate, who owns another magic talking sword named Bloodsong and…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

That’s because RAE owns all the characters from this world. Most of them aren’t around regularly.

@loopylin

I’m just going to have Riina make an escape XD.

Riina

The tyrannical grump wouldn’t agree to a duel. He must be afraid! Well that was the same as forfeiting, so she won!

A portal into her pocketspace appeared, and she dropped Sliver back inside.

“If you won’t duel, you don’t get to take my boots,” she said. “You can confiscate th…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

I think that would be fine. A lot of us already have two, not including villains.

@princesachronicle22

Well, they’re fighting two dragons, one of which is an acid-spitting jungle dragon that had stolen a magic stone that the good guys stole. There are also some various villains that belong to different people, like two dark elves belonging to RAE, a shapeshifting monster also belonging to RAE, a psychopath armed with an a…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

Of course! (And politeness will be irrelevant—they are currently in a pitched battle, which by definition lacks in politeness, lol.)

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, there is no shard there. I know why there is a perpendicularity there, though. RoW has an epigraph that answers that question if you read between the lines a bit. Threnody doesn’t have a shard either but probably contains some of Ambition’s investiture.

@thearcaneaxiom

I’m assuming that the place called Patji’s eye is probably the location of the perpendicularity, which is why the aviar gain invested powers there. It’s interesting that perpendicularities seem to leak investiture into nearby things. This isn’t mentioned in Warbreaker, but the flowers called Tears of Edgli contain investi…[Read more]

And now I’ve read Sixth of the Dusk. This one was definitely interesting. The aviar magic system is not clearly laid out, which is unusual, but pretty interesting. It’s also interesting how it seems that a lot of the creatures that inhabit First of the Sun can detect and send mental messages.

@thearcaneaxiom

It’s definitely fairly common. In HoA Vin was held in silver shackles to prevent her using them. Sanderson actually considered silver being used instead of aluminum, but decided that aluminum would work better, because it would start out rare and then become more common. Maybe silver just isn’t viable against most investiture. I w…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Another thing interesting in Silence is the silver. I think that’s the only place we’ve seen where silver is important. It seems that silver is sort of similar to aluminum, except that it seems to actually hurt the shades, whereas aluminum would presumably just block them. But if silver has some sort of effect on investiture, I w…[Read more]

That arrow was supposed to point to my post btw.
