  1. The WoB in my post above with relevant passages highlighted is the citation. Brandon states that F-steel and F-zinc overlap. If I'm understanding your position correctly you're saying that F-zinc increases thought speed and intelligence, but not reaction speed, while F-steel increases physical speed and reaction speed, but not speed of thought. If that were the case, where is the overlap? The only possible way that F-steel can overlap with F-zinc is via sped-up thought. I agree that F-zinc speeds up thought at least somewhat, but that doesn't mean that F-steel can't do the same thing. I do not believe that it works that way. Human thoughts, so far as I understand it, are limited by the speed of action potentials along neurons. Bleeder might be able to increase her speed of thought slightly, but she was moving at an approximately equal rate to that of Wayne's speed bubble, fast enough that bullets were visible and moved "sluggishly". Without magical enhancements, I do not believe that thinking fast enough to comprehend everything is physically possible, no matter how you alter your biology. Relevant quotes from TLM's Ars Arcanum: Nowhere does it state that F-steel doesn't increase thought speed, it merely doesn't mention such side effects. This isn't remarkable, since other side effects such as F-iron's increase of strength so as to prevent the user from crushing themselves, are not mentioned either: (again from TLM's Ars Arcanum)
  2. They overlap. F-steel gives you sped-up thought and reactions, F-zinc gives you a little bit of sped up thought and greater intelligence. We also see Bleeder using F-steel in Shadows of Self, and for her it seems to be normal bullet time, where from her perspective she's moving normally but everyone else is slowed down/frozen. She moves and reacts normally, even though she's moving extremely fast.
  3. Nin’s master smiled, and a warm, contented light radiated through his being. To think, after all these years, that I would finally meet someone capable of countering my abilities. That Blade you wield… it is quite the weapon. Something in Nin’s master’s mind shifted in a way that Avatar couldn’t quite comprehend, and a sound reminiscent of shattering crystal radiated through the soul of the ancient hero. As that weapon’s wielder, however, you are a disgrace. You barely scratch the surface with what you can do. You don’t even understand the simplest of that Blade’s powers. You think it will let you absorb my memories? Well, it will, but it won’t let you separate those memories from my consciousness. As you can see, I’m very much still here. Avatar’s vision of the physical realm returned just in time to see Nin’s master’s body finish crumbling into black ash. For what it’s worth, I think you’ll be an excellent apprentice.
  4. That WoB specifically states that bullet time is F-steel’s thing, which means it does speed up your perception and speed of thought.
  5. Wayne was showing signs of being a bendalloy savant without any negative effects that I noticed, and although we admittedly didn’t see much of him, Sixteen in RoW didn’t have any immediately obvious effects, despite presumably burning extremely large amounts of cadmium, so it’s possible that bendalloy and cadmium, similar to bronze, don’t have any negative effects.
  6. WoB from the SP5 livestream confirms Yumi is after TSM:
  7. Investiture follows the laws of entropy, with some exceptions:
  8. A mysterious voice popped in. I don't have much time, listen carefully. Darkness is an evil guy from a long time ago, part of some sort of prophecy. Long ago he attempted to conquer TLT, but was stopped and sealed away, his power splintered into many Shadows, the inter-thread beings that Thaidakar's Author had. When Thaidakar was killed, Darkness was unsealed and now he's been hunting down Shadows, regaining his power and preparing to finish his plans. Platypus is fighting him, and others are fighting Darkness's armies. Also, sort of related, Moni is-OHSTORMSTHEHOMEWORK'SFOUNDM-
  9. I don’t think he can speak while discorporated, and even if he could, it it probably faster to just go get Voidlight than to sing the song of prayer.
  10. Nin's master smiled, then straightened his back and raised his staff, holding it parallel with his body, end about a foot off the ground. Despite his age and the terrible wound in his gut, Nin's master still somehow managed to exude confidence. "Almost correct. Almost correct." He slammed the staff into the ground with a thump that echoed through the ruined home, and to Avatar's murky vision, at first it appeared that nothing happened. Then Unity burst to life again in his hands and Nin's master's plan was revealed. A line of Connection stretched between Nin's master and Avatar, tangled with a complex knot in the middle. Around the ancient hero glowed the semitransparent outline of Avatar himself. Nin's master laughed harshly, walking towards Avatar with a casual stride. "Behold, the culmination of my life: Reversal. Your strength and my own fully switched. Unlike Equalization, it doesn't seal away external weapons, but with how weak I have let myself grow, that hardly matters." Nin's master stopped an arm's length in front of Avatar and folded his arms confidently. "Any last words? If it's any consolation, I doubt I'll survive the wound you've given me for long, no matter how much I wish to live. That Blade you stabbed me with... now that I can think properly, I wish I could have more time to study it."
  11. No, sorry, I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t had time to type up a longer post.
  12. As Lunamor settled down in her rocking chair, the Producers queued the moving truck to speed down the dusty road in front of the Narrator’s peaceful home, kicking about three football fields worth of dirt into Luna’s face and onto her cabin.
  13. lots of chaos, a little bit of plot. Recently there’s been a guy called Darkness who’s evil and trying to take over TLT or something like that.
