Ixthos Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) ... Well, that certainly wasn't expected. I wonder if he is like that because he isn't Virtuous enough. ([Edit] I've been informed that Virtuosity is closer in meaning to skill than virtue. Never mind.) I guess Hoid is a little like Castle Heterodyn. He may be stuck in time - assuming that is an accurate description - but his mind and powers are still free to Lightweave. Is he drawing power from the hion lines?

Gilphon Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 (Side note: Virtuosity isn't the same thing as Virtue; Virtuosity refers to artistic skill and ability. Which we've seen is a thing that's very important in both magic systems on display) My assumption is that this a thing Hoid does sometimes when he can sense that he's not going to need to do anything important for the next few decades/centuries- if how he ended up like was really important, it wouldn't have been spoiled for us here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Oltux72 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Am I the only one reminded of Han Solo? Mercy and Hoid fighting with Shard Blades. Mercy: Did Frost tell you what really happened to your old teacher? Hoid: You killed him! Mercy: No, I am your teacher. Hoid: Noooo ... and just lets them switch on the time freezing machine. Then Destiny carries him off in a spaceship made from Aethers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I assume this is how he puts himself into stasis. And Design being a spren, deciding to use him as a coat rack as a joke on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it isn't something he chooses, but rather something that he either has to do after a given period, or something that comes randomly upon him - he's minding his own business when suddenly he gets frozen in time, provided Fortune isn't compelling him to go somewhere.
