    They do not, and I'm pretty sure that if they do indeed perform assassinations that they definitely don't just cut loose their assassins when they feel like a career change and leave them with their equipment. Someone from a street gang might work to serve your purposes? They don't have a starting age, they definitely do employ hitmen and they still might have a good contact network.

    I recommend reading Elantris and Warbreaker before you get to Words of Radiance if you can. I also cannot recommend reading Mistborn: Secret History strongly enough once you've finished Bands of Mourning.

    Only if your home is in Australia.

    They're more fragile, due to not wearing armour, not weaker. Pewter is about on par with what Shardbearer feats are capable of, Mistborn have far and away superior mobility and range and a Mistborn using Atium would absolutely dominate a Shardbearer.

    Or just stab it with some Aluminium. Or Soulcast it.

    Australian wines ftw!

    Just keep sticking to the drugs, side effects are awful but the pain is worse. Luckily for me clusters are intermittent so I only get them once or twice a day for a couple hours each. Though unluckily neither opiates or acetaminophen does anything at all to them other than help me not tense every muscle while they happen so I just have to hope that one of the triptans will work and that they don't kill me instead.

    I think I cursed myself as well, cluster last night decided to remind me that drugs only work intermittently and forced me to redefine what a 10 on the pain scale feels like.

    Given that ChayShan may seems to need someone to become a master at some form of Tai-chi like training I'd put that as pretty difficult. Dhakor seems about on par with Hemalurgy in being nigh-impossible to figure out without some sort of Shardic intervention. Forging would be about the same as Aons, perhaps a bit more difficult to start since you not only need to carve out the base soul stamp but also figure out that you're supposed to put it in something and turn it slightly.

    Technically I am getting paid by the Australian government.

    Only if you're trying to draw an Aon. And get the line in the right orientation. And drawing a glowing line can hardly be said to be actually using AonDor. I don't believe so, at least we don't know that. There was a story that one of the earlier Elantrians saw an Aon but as far as we know it's just a story. In terms of discovery Allomancy is still way easier, there's always trace metals, and it's instinctive. Nothing is instinctive about AonDor.
  12. Voidus
    Bit confused that you think AonDor is easy. Aons need very, very accurate lines and need to be drawn with intent. Who just starts waving their arms around for hours to find out which ones glow and also happens to be sincerely trying to make magic by doing so? Scadrial on the other hand is way easier, trace metals provide a detectable source of power, someone realizes that some foods provide better power people experiment and eventually figure out the metals, from there they basically have the whole magic system figured out. Even if you drew Aon Aon somehow, what next? That doesn't do anything by itself, to figure out all the other Aons would take centuries at the least. Let alone all the modifiers.

    Anyone else planning on a Voidbringer character?
  14. Voidus
    Doctor Strange, one of my favorite characters, and Cumberbatch, one of my favorite actors? Give me ALLL the tickets to this plz.

    The ministry has an entire department dedicated to stopping people from mixing technology with magic, it's been shown to be possible, this is just that in reverse. Yes it should have taken longer and more people but this was apparently a magically gifted genius and it's part of the backstory. I'm not exactly satisfied but far more so than I am with the alternative of one person having technology thousands of years from development or that may be actually impossible and that logically should blow an england-sized crater into the earth.
  16. Voidus
    Well that's kind of the point, to use them technologically rather than magically. Plenty of tech can be used for life support and the rest to be used magically. A wand is never going to choose a muggle however it is treated, that's the point, to bypass the need to be chosen as a wizard and substitute it with technology.
  17. Voidus
    Wizards don't have technology until now and what do you mean zombifying? *No inferi were harmed in the making of this wand* Good thing they're at a school where backfiring wands, explosions and accidentally transfiguring your ears onto another person are all just expected accidents. But yes I would expect a few things to go wrong, but its better than the alternative tech-based transfiguration which would destroy not only the user, but also all of Hogwarts and a sizable chunk of the entire planet when used.
  18. Voidus
    Not working well is still good enough for a first year. And actually stealing it is somewhat more likely to work, stealing a wand typically wins its loyalty if you steal it from the right person. But this is emphatically not a wand, just a technological device designed to produce certain effects.
  19. Voidus
    That's what I said It's just not as effective. Which is totally excusable for a first year student.
  20. Voidus
    Well non-loyal wands still work just not as well, plus that's a trait that comes from wands, not necessarily their cores. Wizards use magical ingredients in potions and artifacts all the time without needing their loyalty.
  21. Voidus
    Taken directly from a wizards wand seems the most likely solution, and also an explanation of why they thought this would work, wizards need wands so something must be special about them, they find a feather inside it and get testing.

    On that topic: Voidus' new Vanilla character for Portland and one of the future members of said cult. Name: Millard Éamon Delaney Appearance: Fair skinned, light brown hair with flecks of a more auburn color. Light grey eyes and a narrow face, he has a fairly light build. Age: 21 History: Lively, energetic and possessed of a sense of direction bordering on an Epic ability, Millard moved to Portland from a small town nearby which was destroyed during the first wave of Epics. He first made a living out of repairing and maintaining firearms for a small neighborhood, finding that he had a knack for finding his way around and salvaging parts from the remnants of recent Epic attacks. He eventually managed to pass the test to enter Thought town and found a job as a guard where he continues to apply his skills. He largely works on scouting missions and recon though is occasionally assigned to simple guard duty when needed. On a recent return from a scouting mission he encountered a woman in white, an Epic who seemed unlike all others and he felt a strong attraction to her, although he is still hesitant to approach any Epic personally.

    Are you still posting next Nashan?
  24. Voidus
    So is that a yea or nay to the idea?
  25. Voidus
    That's true but the matter for Atium also condenses solely out of Investiture. Physics still apply, just not always in the way we expect. So while it takes vastly more energy to create matter than to create heat or movement it might not necessarily take more Investiture due to the cosmeres specific nature.
