WayneSpren he/him Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Why didn't Prof squish Steelheart in a forcefield bubble (like he did to Val and Exel)? Is it because he can't gift to other epics and the bubble counts as gifting? Edited August 10, 2015 by WayneSpren 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) More because Steelheart was invincible if his weakness wasn't triggered, so the bubble wouldn't have done much of anything. Also, the OP should be in spoiler tags because those are some pretty major Firefight spoilers. Edited August 10, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles
Edgedancer he/him Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Plus, it seems reasonable to assume that putting Steelheart in a forcefield that could contain his attacks would have cost a good amount of power, which in turn would have beckoned the corruption. Something Prof would want to avoid.
Voidus Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Plus he didn't want the other Reckoners to know he was an Epic unless he really had to.

Firefight Actually, the begining of Firefight made it sound like all of them knew and they were just keeping it secret from David. Edited August 11, 2015 by Edgedancer

Shadowspren he/him Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Most likely, but it's hard to tell because nobody seemed that surprised when they 'found out'... Firefight If everyone knew about Prof, then it makes it really annoying when they were all surprised finding out about Megan Steelheart, HoA, Warbreaker, Rithmatist Does anyone else notice how Sanderson has a theme of linking the protagonists with the villains... Prof is the leader of an organisation that kills epics... and he is one. Lord Ruler spends 1000 years oppressing the Terrismen, is a Terrisman, Vasher breaks into all the returned palaces and such, is a Returned, Nalizar spends years fighting the wild chalklings, ends up being possessed by something from within the circle... I sense a pattern here...
natc Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Elantris In the end the Elantrians are in part saved by, of all things, a Fjordell priest. Yeah, I'd say he likes unexpected heroes happening. I mean, look at the Hero of Ages (person, not the book).
