Yeahhhhh that's one of the things I need help with, Edgedancer. I need Flagrants to be weak enough for magical weapons and items to be a major benefit, but they also need to be strong and flashy enough to have a noticeable difference between themselves and Smiths.

I agree with Adamir. I've basically been chilling out all on my own over here. And don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed running amok in the shadows so far. That being said, I like the idea of forcing some kind of interaction every now and then. Maybe once every two turns or once every generation? Even the crazy hermit likes to get out and backstab sow chaos make friends every now and again.

Honestly, sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on the Shard who is not a brony.

 

This makes me feel left out, but strangely also proud of my uniqueness.

 

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!!

@ccstat: I actually like the name Flagrants! Thanks!

 

Only Flagrants can use magical weapons, but any Flagrant can use any weapon.

 

Unfortunately, once a weapon is finished being forged it cannot be altered. If it is, whether by the same Smith or a different one, then the weapon will stop working. But if you alter it in a small way, such as elongating the barrel, then it will still function as a weapon. It just will have lost its magical properties.

 

As to how people are turned into mages, I was thinking that they would be born with it. You're either born a Smith, a Flagrant or a normal person. Like Mistings and Mistborn.

...........mealtime? Is this a trick question??

 

Favorite time to read?

Considering that my life is not a musical, I randomly break out into song way to often.

Sorry Kobold, in my neck of the woods we call everyone under 21(ish) boy or girl.  It's strange, I know.

 

If we're talking the Seven Wonders of the Ancient world, then either the Colossus of Rhodes or the Library of Alexandria. If we're talking modern marvels, then probably Stonehenge. Cause Doctor Who.

 

On that note, favorite Companion? (Please don't say Donna Noble)

I sometimes have dreams like that. They are indeed annoying.

 

On a related note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Umm. Is myself a valid answer? If not, then probably Kobold. That boy is hilarious. Not to mention that he is everywhere! I honestly am starting to believe that when it comes to the Shard, Kobold King is omnipresent.

 

Favorite way to consume the flesh of shrimp?

Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?

 

 

 

 

.......He didn't have the guts.

Ummmm, more the first one. But the really powerful weapons would be able to do big stuff like throw fireballs.

No time to RP at the moment, so here's the boring stats.

 

Who: Lady Octavia

What: Trying for an heir

When: G3T3A1

Why: To continue the line of house Protegat

Where: Keep Protegat

Yours has a face. It is a very nice face. 10/10, would look at it again. 

Science-y people, I need a bit of help. I have a world in which the magic system relies on the sun. Certain people can access the power by drinking or bathing in certain types of water that are left out in the sun, called Sunwater. Certain nationalities or races can absorb the sunlight directly to use it as magic, but with physical drawbacks. Is there a plausible reason as to why people in certain parts of the world developed the ability to absorb the sunlight directly and some have to use the water?

 

Hi. Here on earth, boring little rock that it is, some people have developed different levels of melanin. This causes their skin to be different colors, races who live near the equator are in the sun more, which causes them to have more melanin in their skin, thusly making their skin darker than those who do not live near the equator. Could people who directly intake energy from the sun be like that? They spend more time in the sun, so their skin has gotten better acquainted at storing the energy from it? I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas. 

 

Also, seeing as how the last post was in August 8th, I'm going to hijack this thread now.

 

EVERYONE PUT YOUR HANDS UP! NOBODY MOVES, NOBODY GETS HURT!! 

 

Now that that is done with, I need some help with my own magic system. For NaNoWriMo this year, I'm thinking that I want to do a Flintlock Fantasy novel. (For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a fantasy novel set in a world where there are, surprise surprise, flintlock weapons/muskets. Promise of Blood and The Thousand names are good examples of this.) I know that I want there to be two main magic users. Basically, those who can imbue weapons with magical abilities to create magical weapons, (called Magesmiths) and those who can use said magical weapons (still working on a name for these guys, Magewarriors doesn't have a good ring to it).

 

In addition to all of that, both castes have their own unique way of using magic. For example, Magesmiths have a more passive magic, they usually have greater strength, endurance etc., but they can't throw use magic in large bursts to say, throw lightning or something like that. The Magewarriors (cringe) are the opposite of this, they have less of a steady burn and more of a bright flash. They are the ones who would be throwing fireballs or lightning at each other. 

 

Okay, now that I've written a whole book about this, do any of you see problems with this system? If you do, what are they and how can I fix them? If not, what would be some cool abilities for each type of magic user? Thanks guys! I appreciate any help. 

 

Also I apologize for the length and the amount of rambling, 

The Warding magic in the Demon Cycle by Peter V. Brett is very scientific and specific. Different wards do different things, and they have to be very precise in their positioning, location and what not. Although later on in the series this seems to be loosened a tad bit, and there doesn't seem to be as many restrictions.

 

Assassin's Creed Rogue. Pretty fun, but kind of the same as Black Flag. That being said, it is still a pretty entertaining game, and Black Flag is my favorite AC, so it's nice to have a kind of expansion/DLC for it. 

I always finish them. 

 

Always. 

 

I feel cheated if I don't for some reason. (I know, it doesn't make sense to me either   ) However, if it is a book in a series, then I usually just won't finish the series. That way I don't waste too much time on it. 

You guys know how everybody says you can't die in your dreams? 

 

Complete malarky. 

 

Seriously, recently there have been multiple times that I die in my dreams. It's funny because I always just reincarnate into someone else. The trippy part is that I'm always right beside my other body, and I'm already the same age as I was in the dream. 

Umm, I think that it was The Lords of the North by Bernard Cornwell. It was by Cornwell, and it was about Uhtred..... and it was very good! But I read it a long time ago sooooo I don't really remember. 

 

Favorite poet? Bonus points if you add your favorite poem by them. 

Chocolate covered custard filled from Krispy Kreme. They are to die for.

 

Favorite epic fantasy series besides WoT/Mistborn/SA?

Daniel Craig...... I'm ridiculously excited for Spectre.

 

Favorite James Bond villain?

I like Cool Running a lot, although Rocketman is really good too.

 

Favorite James Bond movie?

Lady Octavia was perplexed. "I don't understand."

"You have already informed us of this." Said Lady Octavia's sister, Artemis.

Reginald, Octavia's husband said "To be fair, you haven't done a whole lot to make Him favor you. Nor to disfavor you either."

"Well, no," she replied. "but that is kind of the point. Some attention would be good! The  exception is when it is bad attention."

"I also wish to prevent ourselves from provoking The Lord Ruler's ire." Reginald stated.  

"Donations." Octavia and Reginald turned to look at Artemis. "Donations," the younger sister continued. "to the Steel Inquisition. Or the Ministry of Canton or the Department of Wealth or whatever. The point is money opens doors. And enough money opens them very widely."

Octavia smiled.

 

Who: Lady Octavia Protegat, in her capacity as House Matriarch.

What: Donating wealth to the Steel Inquisition.

Where: Kredik Shaw.

When: G3T1A1

Why: She hopes to improve relations between her House and the Steel Inquisition/The Lord Ruler.

Directly after consuming miracle berries.

 

Favorite eye color?

I am putting my foot down from now on with regards to late Actions. None of them will be accepted.

 

 

 

.........crap.
