  1. Not sure about your world but mana could be poured directly into a geometric drawing, Take a pentagram for example. It would have 5 charges, one for each line. Each charge used would delete or erase a line of the drawing. Once gone the magic is gone. 

    The higher the power, the more complicated the sigil. but the higher the number the harder it is to use. -shrug-

    I feel like Ruin would just have a really, really, really determined group of Ashspren. I mean, Dustbringers and their spren are already pretty ruinous, so I feel like Ruin himself would just push something that already existed into overdrive.

    Just what we need, compounding Dustbringers :P 

  3. I like it tbh. In my eyes it comes across as no different than someone using incense when they meditate. 

    Are there any other side effects? Do they have withdrawals or symptoms? Can they get addicted? 

    I feel if its just the one effect (slipping into the next layer) you should be fine. 

    However, someone is always going to relate it to drugs at some point. Just comes down to how its written. 

  4. I started the Arcane Ascension and The War of Broken Mirrors series by Andrew Rowe. I have loved both but now also waiting for new books!

    Both series take place in the same world, each region of the world has its own variant of magic which is quite interesting to see how they balance and interact with each other.

    It is almmmmooost LitRPG, but doesnt take place in a game world and no HIT POINTS which is good. So hits a nice balanced mix. 

  5. I've checked through the forums and through some WOB BUT I can't seem to find any mention how "Bonding" works with an Honourblade. 

    I'm aware that there is no true bond as with a shardblade but they can be summoned and dismissed. 

    Do they also have a gemstone on the hilt? is it mentioned somewhere the difference?

    Where do Honourblades go when dismissed? There is no spren to go to the cognitive realm. 

  6. Obsidian knives made with napping are ridiculously sharp. Other non metallic materials could work but are harder to create to the same sharpness. (Though I could see properly sharpened ceramic knives being used in era 3) 

    If you really wanted to do damage you could stab them as well, snap the handle off or shatter the blade in the wound. Not fun for anyway. 

     

  7. I love Roshar, its my favourite BUT.. Shardplate, meet an accurate high calibre sniper. That plate isn't lasting long. 

    Era 1 would lean more towards Roshar, a misting lacks the diversity to tackle a radiant. A mistborn would rip them apart but their numbers are low. 

    Era 2 would win due to technology.
