Cloaked Mystery

@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…

@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

The tablet. The tablet tells the bomb that that person is not the target. It will then search for the closest thing. If there is nothing too near, it will specifically search for large amounts of metal like Mithaln. It will then, with fingers like lightning, cover it’s victim’s body. For a Realn, it means extreme pain, and almost total…[Read more]

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.

To be honest, my heart sunk when you said that.

Fennin

The stone pulsed in perfect sync with his heartbeat.

“Silva, Silva,” He whispered for no reason at all. His muscles relaxed, his breathing deepened. It was safe, safe in his arms.

A shadow crossed in front of the moon. A great beast swooped down, his wings creating a wind of their…[Read more]

Yeah, the sleepless are interesting. That reminds me: I was surprised to see a sleepless in Edgedancer. That was one of the few things that surprised me.

I liked how he continued the trend of Lopen accidentally swearing his oaths after the action is over XD.

Yeah 😂

@jonas

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]

@jonas

Do you want to rp the dragon, or do you want me too?

@jonas

Greetings! Oh cool!

@jonas

The dragons see Fennin, attack him, Ellis and Nahim and whoever else defend Fennin. Simple!

@jonas

Fennin

He heard his name called, he saw the stone flying the air, a black figure trying to get it.

He was far away. Maybe too far.

“Nora! Cover me!” He dropped his sword, and ran. His knees came up high, his stride grew longer and his head was thrown back. The ground under him passed by, the leaves and ground were torn up by his boots.…[Read more]

My hands are sweating. This is great!

Nahim

Nahim looked around him, looking for those who needed help the most. He pressed his fingers to his side, and red liquid flowed over them. He winced, and his vision blurred, but he wanted to keep going. He saw Fennin, and Nora, fighting some black cloak floating around with eyes and a couple soldiers ( @calyhuge you can rp that part…[Read more]

@jonas

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.

@jonas

So I’ve been really bad at following up on this thread for quite a while now, as well as KP in general lately. I’ve sort of skimmed through, but you’ve probably done a lot since you last posted. Is there still anything specific you would like my thoughts on still?

@jonas

Yeah those theories definitely make sense!

I agree on the fact that the Dawnshard was the most interesting aspect. I also thought it was interesting seeing how the Sleepless communicated, and more of what their goals are.

The rest was more simply entertaining in the Lopen-is-great sense

@jonas

I’ve read them both, and enjoyed both, what were your other thoughts?
