Silus - Shard of Flame

That part of the prologue definitely rings of major foreshadowing, as in multiple books out foreshadowing. I expect hints in each book, but I doubt anything concrete for a while. It's really the topic that's hardest to theorize on because that we basically have no context for it.

Buffy and Angel score really high on my list of favorite shows. But I think Dr. Horrible is Whedon's best work. Also, Doctor Who is my favorite show.

She turns to go, and you can see a round outline between her shoulder blades. "Don't mind me. You'll find out who I am soon enough." She leaves and is met by your guide, the armored man, and the two walk off together.

Nope, check out the Data Topic, she's got the Road of Numb Grid.

Ambrosius She smiles at you, blue grey eyes as cold and dull as mist. Her long robe trails on the ground, the swirls of various dark reds shimmering in the flickering light. "I spent twenty years of my life discerning truth from lies." She leans in closer to you. "And that was a lie."

I'm pretty sure the faces around the border are the Heralds, the larger Glyphs are the Orders and the smaller Glyphs are the surges.

Ambrosius - Conquered Cave, West Plain A hand falls on your shoulder from behind, and a strange thing happens. From the point of contact, it feels as though a cloud, a gas, is filling you from the inside out, cold as ice yet without tangible feeling. Your Atium shadows flicker and vanish, the warmth of burning metal in your stomach freezes. "None of that. Trickery outside of the matches is forbidden if you want to retain our hospitality." Jay'el The other Shaman is part of a group of five. They laugh in reaction to something said, but it seems calculated, lacking a real sense of enjoyment. The Shaman's mantle is a sandy blue color, marking him as being from the Coral Spider, one of the largest walking villages, practically a city in its own right, or at least from one of the hanger on villages that follow it. Looking around at the group, none of the others appear to be in a Form. In fact, a closer look at the Spheremorphs around the cavern shows that very few are in Form. There is definite tension, but more of an anticipatory kind than an about-to-become-a-brawl kind. One of the men next to the Shaman notices you and taps the Shaman on the shoulder, then gestures toward you. The Shaman turns to face you and looks you over. "Well, another Shaman," she says, "I wasn't expecting that, though your mantle is different than any I know. Where do you hail from? And don't be shy, we're just chatting. Getting to know the competition." She winks at you with a grin and turns back to the group.

I doubt it lost it's potency over time. It's just that you have to spend some time aged every so often for it to work.

That is indeed a good thought. Definitely something to keep in mind.

Started Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, good, but pretty hard, mainly because I can't fight worth crap.

I saw Voyage of the Dawn Treader yesterday. It was different, but it was in kinda the same way that they changed up the order of things in the LotR movies, structuring it to have more of a climax. Not nearly as intrusive as in Prince Caspian. They kept in one of the most obviously symbolic lines, which I wasn't expecting, but I'm glad they did. I'm just hoping that they do the rest of the series. Also, I have Rent (a filmed Broadway production) and Scott Pilgrim coming up on the Netflix queue. Looking forward to those.

If you can write a Ketek, then you can write it about whatever you want. Though it can be tough to read. The symmetry of it distracts from reading it as a whole, requiring some thought to find the overall concept of the thing.

Unless absolutely everyone hates or loves something, I'm inclined to take any opinion with a grain of salt, though I do let people I trust to know what they're talking about have some influence on whether or not I see it. I'd like to announce that I have published my very first story, a Doctor Who fanfic on fanfiction.net.

Alright, I'll set up something for the others to do, and then when you get back we can just hammer through yours as quick as possible to catch you up. In other news, I've finally added River's Forms into the Data Topic. XP Also, with the new opening up of restrictions on character count for posts since the forum update, I can now fit all of out Forms into ONE POST.

Brandon likes to have his characters earn their happy ending.

I think the orginal question, about burning pewter and storing in a pewtermind, was talking about burning a piece of pewter that isn't a pewtermind and then storing the effect in a pewtermind. Would it work? The effect of tapping a pewtermind and burning pewter are very different, are they compatible? A question I have would be what happens if you burn a metalmind but then don't immediately store it. Can you use that power? Say you burned an ironmind, would you become extremely heavy? It seems so. Also, what would happen if you burned a coppermind? Enhanced memories?

I know Brandon's a big fan of Dr. McNinja, I just haven't read it yet. It's on my (extremely long) list.

But none of them will be the original ride, which makes me very sad. Rex was an AWESOME pilot for his first time out.

Wait, does this mean an upcoming forum update?

But they got their power from Lerasium, same as Elend, but he could never pull off some of the things TLR did, like the massive crowd Soothings. I thought he was doing with with Hemalurgy. I thought you stored in a metalmind, burned that metalmind and then put the new power into a different metalmind, so that you don't burn the metalmind you're storing in, thus not limiting your ability to store. Remember that the Well of Ascension was still actively holding Ruin back during TLR's entire reign. He couldn't take him over because of that.

I like this a lot. Definitely espousing this if I ever get around to it.

It's going to be varied, with different types of matches for each round.

But the things like super-soothing, those are probably what Brandon meant when he said that his more spectacular tricks were pulled off with hemalurgy.

Which one are you?
