Thanks for the welcome. Shoot, you're right I can't find the quote, I must have miss-read nightmares as names (or it was wishful thinking). It is interesting we have Firefight (weakness fire), Dawnslight (weakness daylight?), and Limelight (Fame?). Of course the in-book Lorists sould have made this kind of connection should it have been that obvious. Well without the quote, and your good points about his trademark costume, I agree fame isn't nearly as compelling, Back to the old discussion on "Lack of Control" I suppose.

I think Brandon has given us enough hints. This isn't a cosmere book so his weakness should be somewhat obvious. So I'll put forward the following: 1) Megan says that Epics' names relate to their weaknesses 2) Prof didn't enter the NASA Drawing 3) They chose the name "Limelight" to describe the "fake" Epic threatening Steelheart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limelight Based on that I would argue Prof's weakness/fear is "Fame" Or being Famous. Which correlates with Calamity choosing to make Prof one of the Strongest Epics based off his fear. It also becomes a negative feedback loop - Prof becomes a famous Epic, Loses his powers, becomes normal again, which may explain why he has been able to hold out for so long. It fits well into why he has always had the Reckoners be "hidden". It also would be a great storyline for the next book, the Reckoners try to cover up for Prof, only at the end to "reveal" it all to take away his powers or free him from his corruption. Of course I don't know how this plays into the fear he showed when he wasn't able to kill David & Megan at the end of Firefight. I apologize for the poor formatting and brevity, I'm in a rush. -Hastyr
