@Northerner I see your point… but I think the correctness of the moral foundation is more important than what the power’s used for. God may allow Darkness (how else would it still even exist? But that’s another discussion) but He does NOT condone it, and by its very definition it cannot be used for good. Out of the heart the mouth speaks. A…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper *bows* Any time… XD

Yeah, no, I get your point. And I definitely agree it shouldn’t be treated as ‘just another story element’. Just as being a prophet in the Old Testament was a grave responsibility and a mark of high honor from God, anyone entrusted with any sort of supernatural gift should not just ‘go whacko’ with it. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper an archetype is basically the typical role any given character fulfills. Mentor. Hero. Dark Lord. A slot for a character that doesn’t really depend that much on the character himself, but what part the character plays in the story.

@Dragon-Snapper I would disagree. The definitions are wrong. Sorcery in our world is demonic power, and since our fantasy worlds should be copies of God’s nature and God’s creation, sorcery should be bad in fantasy worlds as well.

@Alia ha! I feel ya. 😛 Not a problem. 😉

@Alia this is such a lovely discussion that we already had it. 😀 Check out this topic here. Please add your thoughts and ask your questions. It’s a huge discussion, and the more opinions we can get on it, the better. 😉

Hm… the whiny teenaged hero? 😛

@Aratrea

And now I feel so terribly uncultured because I’ve never read Byron or Shelley or Milton… *sniff*

@Daeus @Northerner dah! Had to restart my laptop… it froze on me… *glum look* Sorry to keep you waiting. I got 623 words.

@Daeus *screams* I DON’T WANT TO TURN EIGHTEEN!

@Daeus… don’t you mean nine? :’D
I’m with ya.

Thanks so much guys! I haven’t abandoned you; my laptop went AWOL for a space there… XD

@R-J-Wordsmith @Jenali

You glance down at the notebook in your lap only to find it covered in elegant, foreign symbols, and the pencil in your hand glowing with a faint blue light.

@Dragon-Snapper heyyyy… you insulting dragon brains?

@Daeus *nods* You show ’em.

XD

@Daeus you may wanna check on your minions. I’d hate to see the ‘inept’ stereotype fulfilled in real life… :’D

@Dragon-Snapper yay! *high fives you* Don’t worry I trimmed my claws recently. 😉 I think I’m going to stop now too— 691 words, deducting a ten minute break when @Daeus wasn’t here. Did you finish your chapter, Daeus?

@Daeus I’m with you.

@Daeus a’right.

@Daeus not a problem. I shall deduct fifteen minutes’ worth.
