Embrisk

I also thought of two magic skills, or systems: Fragmentation and synthesis. fragmentation allowes you to revert something to things it is made of. For example, one could grab a loaf of bread and fragment it into flour and sugar. If they went back even further, they could convert it into sugarcane and wheat. The further back you go, the harder it is. Synthasis is the complete opposite, allowing you to turn materials into something. Unlike fragmentation, you can form the synthesised object as you want. You could probably even weld humans together and do all sorts of messed up stuff. Fragmentation reverts something back to what it originally was. synthasis turns things into what it has the potential to become. If you use the two systems together, you could, for example, use a leather coat and turn it into leather shoes. Obviously that is just the start. It would be kind of lame if the most you saw of this magic was turning a coat into a pair of shoes.

They all look the same. It takes a lot of people randomly dying while forceing aer to merge before they begin to work out that it is based on blood type, and after more study, they realise that aer mate by blood type.

I kind of had this idea before reading about Brandon Sanderson, but.... A world where intelligent animals that are kind of like spren pokemon exist. this creature (I'll call them aer, singular is aril.) have eight sexes. They can, for the most part, all interbreed, by mixing their blood with eachother. An Embrisk couldn't mate with a Tielentive, but a Tielentive could mate with an Embrisk, just giving you two of the eight sexes. The eight sexes have a human blood type equivelant, and only an aril which could mate with (or give blood to) someone with the blood type whose equivelant is a receiver among aer could merge with an aer. Eg: aer with an A+ blood type equivalent couldn't merge with someone whose blood type was A-. There are two ways aer evolve: mimicking and adapting Aer evolve to their environment, mimicking other animals, vegetation, and aer. They can also merge with living things. If they merge with something, they evolve to mimic it faster. The human they merge with gains abilities depending on how the aril evolved over it's lifetime, and the aril slowly gains a more human like body. (imagine a human merging with pokemon.) Humans are hard to mimic because all the other animals and plants make sense. Aer alter and mimic their phisical appearance as they understand the psychology of living things around them. (Humans take more time to mimic than most other things, but their form is most enviable.) Aer evolve by adapting by developing things they need, but they do it subconsciously, eg: fangs, claws, wings if lots of land predators try to kill it, etc. Merging is a painful process because the flesh of the two knit together. Aer feel it as much as humans, but they don't mind it as much, and find it annoying when humans scream when merging. Some aer, because of mimicking, look a lot like other animals. You can tell if a creature is aer or not by punching it. If it's skin grows harder, then it is an aril. That is how fast they evolve. You could (and some people do) torture these creatures to make them basically invincible to all kinds of attack, and then forcing it to merge, (another story.) Maybe if I feel ambitious I'll write a book. Maybe not.

Wow, you're right. I have heard that some americans get offended by it, so i guess nobody can say it.

I suppose that the gems crack when they are put under too much strain, not because the stormlight inside them was transferred. They similarly are known for cracking when repairing shardplate. The gems, which are like a tool, are being overworked. When people breathe in the stormlight from the gems, the people are put under the strain, and not the gems. This is why no gems have ever cracked by having their stormlight sucked. It also explains why the more stormlight you use, when it is depleted, the more tired you feel.

Yeah, me and my friends have stopped watching doctor who. It was alright when there was a fantastic doctor and bad scripts. Now, however, we have a bad doctor and bad scripts. I agree with the unnecessariness of the gender flip, etc, of the new doctor. I think the writers are just trying to ride the wave. My favourite are 10 and Donna, even though my favourite episode is probably the family of blood. I like all of the emotion behind David, plus he had a lot of swag. He also got the best episodes out of any other doctor.

Maybe destiny calls for you to listen to it again.

I love magic. I have two decks, and I made my sister one for herself. My favourite thing about Magic is that you don't need to spend a but load of money, and every deck has a weakness. A deck composed of commons could destroy a hyped up legendary creature deck, if you knew what you were going against.

Umbridge. I don't think there is anyone real or fake that I hate more than her. Voldemort doesn't even compare.

I went ham on Magic: the gathering.

I have a current addiction to 'I don't like mondays,' by The Boomtown Rats.

I am half way through the way of kings right now. Steelheart has been my favourite so far.

Well, I guess it all started out on my lifes quest, as an avid reader, to find something as good as Harry Potter. I served an LDS mission, and two people in my class at the Missionary Training Centre were talking about a book where people ate metals which gave them different abilities. To be honest, it sounded lame. Leven Thumps's main real merit was the humour, and it sounded like candy war stuff, so I will say now that when I heared, or talked about Sanderson's work, developed a vague, not entirely accurate overview of his books. One of them also told us all about a super hero book, and right then and there told us all Steelhearts weakness, and how he dies. Of course, me, not having any desire to pick up one of his books, didn't mind the spoilers. My first area in the mission, I heard about the super hero novel again. The villain could fly, was invincible, could throw fireballs, and turn things into metal. I kind of imagined some sort of long drawn-out battle against this mysterious villain. After the main character kills the supervillain, he gains his powers, but doesn't use them, because they make you go crazy. I heard about the super hero novel again in my third area, and on companion exchanges, he referred this random guy that we met, who liked reading, (after giving him a Book of Mormon, of course, to his books. He specifically recommended "Missbourne" some kind of un human, or divergent thing, maybe, which was the metal eating book. I transferred again to a new are, with a companion who had read a lot of Sandersons works. I heard about inquisitors, creepy guys that have giant spikes drilled through their brain so they can't think. They also have huge spikes drilled though their bodies that if you take out the one that goes through their heart, they die. I heard of steel, which when you eat it, makes lines appear between your heart and metal that you can push on. I also heard vague descriptions of some of the other metals, including gold. Apparently gold was pretty worthless, because in allamancy, it gave you health, but it would wear off after you use it, reverting you back into your injured state, unless you could use the second type of magic, which allowed you to compress the healing power of gold so you didn't have to have it in your stomach all the time. I heard that the villain wasn't actually evil, but that drilling spikes through people was a thing he did to stop the world from ending. He tried to get all of the atiom in the world and keep it all to himself because when you eat atiom, you are given a choice to release the evil deamon god inside of it, and if you do, the world will end. A boy who studies religion realises that you aren't supposed to stop the deamon from being summoned, but that you are supposed to summon it so that you can kill it. He does this and becomes god. Some other guy who becomes an inquisitor, saves mental strength for years, and breaks the brain control long enough to stab the bad guy that isn't actually bad. Lastly, I heard about a planet where people can control sand, but it actually isnt sand, its little creatures, which allow you to control them in exchange for water. I was transferred again, and my new companion LOOOVED Sanderson. He told me all about this Hoyd guy who goes around the universe, and he kind of sounded like a timelord to me. He also filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge, and told me to just read them instead of listening to people who hadn't picked up a fantasy novel in two years. He seemed keen to read the new "Oathbreaker" novel, though. So now I have just finished my two first Sanderson books, The Emperors Soul, and Steelheart. While a lot of missionaries like his work more than Harry Potter, I prefer Harry Potter. Steelheart WAS the best book I had read in a long time, though. (Yeah, now I know that it is actually Hoid, etc, but I thought I would put everything in how I imagined it to be.)
