  1. Can we consider other people champions though? The Elend vs Marsh battle was essentially two champions fighting, Vin (As Preservation) and Ati (as Ruin) were giving their "champions" Strength, increasing their abilities, and turning them into killing machines, so my point is, can we consider these another set of Champions?
  2. Hemalergic* mistwraith* Spikes, easily, I get cool stuffs Would you rather be killed by a Shardblade or be killed by Nightblood?
  3. "The monstrosity lifted its dark axes and easily dispersing the energy," -Okay this is pretty cool, but what dispersed the energy? Did he cut through the sphere, did just the action of raising it stop the spell, did the axes twirling in front of him suddenly give off a flare of power, stopping the spell like a wall? "Lashing out at the creature Lyzell worked his energy pushing and pulling objects at the drouvlan, trying desperately to drive it back. It didn’t work." -How was he manipulating the energy? Before when he did it he seemed to have to form it into a sphere, but now he can just push and pull objects? What objects can he grab onto, is it little pebbles throughout the alleyway? Is he ripping clumps of burning building to throw at it? Why didn't his attack work? Did the things thrown just bounce off/break when it hit him? did he block the attacks? "and he lost his hold on the power." -What happens when he looses his hold on the power? Does it rush out of him like a tempest, does it recede back inside wherever he got it from? How does he feel when the power leaves? Is he drained, or invigorated? "He felt the broken nose" -Is that it? he just felt it? No blood dripping down his face, tears forced into his eyes? Might just sound better if it wasn't just, 'Oh my knows is broken' "he funnelled a tiny flow into her wound, it wouldn’t completely heal it," -What does this source feel like, look like, taste like, sound like, smell like, as someone uses it? This isn't just at this point, but it appears all around it, we have this impression of some really cool magic, yet we don't really know what it is like, and I am left with the sense of an invisible force...but it formed into a sphere at one point, and we could see it, but now we can't. What is it that this magic is doing? Try to describe it so that we know how the magic works better. But overall the start to this is significantly better than the earlier one, I felt much more engaged but what all was going on, and it felt a lot better. Now that you have added in more use of magic, which I love, I want to know more about the magic.
  4. no problem for the question, but if colors are something you enjoy there is a guild for that....
  5. it is quite similar to the color Ultramarine, and a generally good color all around, plus its not dull
  6. Zaffre.
  7. @Dunite_Sphere Welcome to the community! It is a pleasure to have you here, random question, what is your favorite color?
  8. DO NOT EAT THE COOKIES...or any other baked goods in general
  9. Do not eat the cookies!!!!! Also hi.
  10. Well... WoR literally states that Szeth can be a Skybreaker, the order based on following the law to the letter, perfect for him, because of how closely he followed his Truthless punishment. Skybreakers have access to the surges of Gravitation, and Division, one that he knows, one that he doesn't. Stuff about WarBreaker: In conclusion they are pretty much a perfect match, and will go well together, probably only giving Szeth access to 2 surges.
  11. Well I think it does connect, when Shallan first Soulcasted she did turn it to blood, we don't know much else though.. Prologue to WoK "Szeth breathed in deaply, drawing forth the stormlight..." He had the Windrunner blade, so that seems, to me at least, confirmed.
  12. "After all, sooner or later, he was going to look at one of these and- The Lopen sucked in light" He only sucks it in, whereas in WoK "Kaladin breathed in deaply. The sphere grew cold as a wave of heat shot up his arm." It seems that whenever Kaladin gets stormlight he Inhales, yet other don't have to...they just suck it in, and with Kaladin's body focus it specifically says Inhalation...could be interesting later on
  13. @marianmi So do you recall at any point, anyone else besides Kaladin inhaling stormlight?
  14. Okay, I really enjoyed what your wrote, just not how you wrote it, if that makes sense. Brandon talks a lot about making your character want something at the beginning, that can be an apple, or it can be to save the world, they just have to want something, this character of yours isn't there until 1/3rd of the way through the chapter. I would suggest something more like this: A crash sounded as Lyzell scribbled furiously on the ash-covered paper, the entire building shaking. His entire town was covered in layers of ash, making his study look neet by comparison...the door swung open, emmitting a blast of cold air laced with sparks...he stumbled out into the city, seeing the once great city, that had weathered the centuries, now reduced to a pile of ash...Ulganian ran for safety, mothers and fathers clutching their loved children... you ou can still have all the cool description that you have throughout it, well maybe not all of it, but a fair amount, but it hit us like a blunt weapon, if you spread it out a bit, and give us an actual story element at the beginning, Lyzell, then it suddenly become a story, not just a pointless scene. But it it was still good, I really enjoyed it once it got to the part about Lyzell I don't know anything though, try it out, find what makes you happy, not us.
  15. @bleeder I will be colorful instead of dull I will advise against any and all baked goods I will greet all newcomers and not provoke guild war The Assassins in Technicolor Clothing must rise again
  16. Thats not Jasnah's order though...As far as the list matching up with everything else goes: 1.Adhesion2.Gravitation3.Division4.Abrasion5.Progression6.Illumination7.Transformation8.Transportation9.Cohesion10.Tension Number 7 would be her base, meaning that the 7th on the list is the one that matches her, Wise/Careful, number 5 would (With Progression and Illumination) match Learned/Giving
  17. I am interested in joining FYI: Zaffre is a pretty cool color
  18. Wow...I had been in the middle of typing this when I had to stop to do something else...This was not the full thing at all...It has been updated
  19. So I was recently able to talk to Brandon at the Ogden Signing. Recently before that I started looking at this table (The one that should be above this) and the first category really interested me, specifically the forth, and sixth columns. Inhalation, and Protecting/Leading. To me the Protecting/Leading sounded a lot like Kaladin, and his connection to Syl. his oath's are all about protecting: I will protect those who cannot protect themselves. —The Second Ideal of the Windrunners I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right. — The Third Ideal of the Windrunners And he was also a MAJOR leader of Bridge four, he is the reason that they are now free. Jump down to the next line, Just. We know that SkyBreakers use one of the same surges as Kaladin does, Gravitation, and also the surge of Division. They also fall the law to the letter, aka being just. ( based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.) If you look at a list then you will see that the SkyBreakers would use the second set of possible surges on the list (seen below) and the Windrunners use the first set possible, lining them up, if you place them on a chart, directly underneath each other. 1.Adhesion 2.Gravitation 3.Division 4.Abrasion 5.Progression 6.Illumination 7.Transformation 8.Transportation 9.Cohesion 10.Tension K so now skip down to where Shallan would be on the list...she would be the sixth (having access to the sixth, and seventh surges listed) Sixth one down on the chart, Creativity/honest. Hmm...sounds like her. Next one down, Transformation/Transportation, Wise/Careful, sound like Jasnah to you? So this gives us a base for what each of the orders of the Knights Radiant will be based upon, and also lets us know that Dalinar will be based on being Pious( devoutly religious.) which makes sense, being bonded to a God-spren. When I talked to Brandon about this he did say that these all matched up exactly, and that this did work, and also said something about Creativity being a form of lying for Shallan. Now to that other column I mentioned, the fourth one. I have no base for this, except what I see, but I do not know what Brandon has to say about it, as I can up with it shortly after talking to him. So Kaladin's body focus is Inhalation, according to the chart, I haven't had time to check this yet, but whenever Kaladin breathes in Stormlight it specifically says that he Inhales it, yet when Dalinar gets his stormlight at the end of WoR it says that he sucked in stormlight...This might be nothing but... Also when Shallan first soulcast is it a coincidence that the thing turned to Blood? Her body focus, is after all, blood. What do you guys think? Let me know.
  20. Welcome to the community, which of Brandon's books have you read?
