    Looking forward to the quiz. Might tell us something new about some of the more obscure orders.

    As we don’t actually know the command used to make lifeless (there was an old one that was really expensive) that’s not a very valid point. And I think at this point we’re going to have to agree to disagree, as we’ve clogged this thread enough already. How about this: we both accept that the next person to come on the thread gets to decide who’s right, and that’s the end of this particular argument (and no asking someone to come on and take your side). Sound fair?
  3. The Young Pyromancer
    Spoilers.
  4. The Young Pyromancer
    I see it as intent based. The more ideas you’re trying to get across, the more breath it takes. He actually awakens his pants BEFORE he does the shirt, as I said in my previous post. And yet, he only comments on how specifically the second command took a lot out of him. Not the two together, but specifically the second.
  5. The Young Pyromancer
    He touched the shoulder of the shirt, and tassels curled around his fingers. He Awakened the whole shirt.
  6. The Young Pyromancer
    Same with his shirt.

    Previously on the page I quoted, Vasher awakened his pants, and there is no comment about it being really expensive breath-wise. Just the more complex command... Nightblood took so much Breath because he was metal, and Awakening metal is REALLY hard, so please don't use him as a counter-argument.
  8. The Young Pyromancer
    Yeah, I know, I was just trying to understand your argument. If the material wasn't the reason the example command I provided was harder, and the length wasn't the reason, what do you propose the reason was?
  9. The Young Pyromancer
    So you’re saying the material that he’s awakening is responsible for the cost?

  11. The Young Pyromancer
    Also more expensive.
  12. The Young Pyromancer
    As I understand it, the lengths of commands multiplies the number of breaths needed, so making this command any costlier than it has to be is an astronomically large expense. Even two words is absolutely ridiculous, much less eight.
  13. The Young Pyromancer
    If you held the sword, it might try to cut you too.
  14. The Young Pyromancer
    Four words is gonna cost a RIDICULOUS amount of investiture, especially if the command is something that isn’t super clear-cut, like ‘don’t break’.
  15. The Young Pyromancer
    Joking. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
  16. The Young Pyromancer
    Isn’t there a WOB that Trell’s the cognitive aspect of Vax?
  17. The Young Pyromancer
    And the game must last two weeks.
  18. The Young Pyromancer
    But does Yelig-nar work by producing invesiture and eventually overloading them or by consuming the target's spiritweb to power the effects? And which one kills the returned first? This might give us an idea of each one's relative power level.
  19. The Young Pyromancer
    Have any of the five scholars achieved the goal that they returned for? How does the presence of an avatar of autonomy affect a magic system? Let’s say a returned wielding nightblood is about to be possessed by Yelig-nar and draws nightblood at the exact same time in a desperate hope to counter the effect. Simultaneously, a Larkin bites the returned’s leg. What happens?

    Huh. Well, I'm not sure if the word doc got cut off or not, because I can't access the PDF, but you might want to check that. The imagery was nice, but it went on a little too long at times. I get that as a blind man, the protagonist would think of metaphorical images more, but at times it started distracting from the story. Also, during certain parts you described the appearance of characters, which was a little weird as you're writing this in third person limited, and those tend to not describe things that the current lead couldn't know about.
  22. The Young Pyromancer
    Cool! I liked it! If I may ask, why me?
  23. The Young Pyromancer
    When @Voidus says so.
  24. The Young Pyromancer
    Yup!
  25. The Young Pyromancer
    You're betting an AXE? And a misspelled one too? Wow.
