have you read the two prequel series that have recently been written? The First Formic War by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston The Second Formic War by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston They are a great series and I will definitely tell people to read these first!!

wait. I feel like I'm missing something. Did Hoid bond Elhokar's spren?

Chiri-Chiri!

that is amazing!

Wibblo sighs and accepts the mission.

@ChickenLiberty This is so cool

I've been told that it was today... Happy whateveritis-day!! May you receive lots of incorrectly shaped paper hearts!

Ok, so I have developed it a bit more in the doc that I am working in, yes, it is more likely to get your powers younger than older, but not normally distributed, but more like skewed right with a peak at 10 - 12 yrs old So yes to the practice, but I think that the power precision is going to cap out lower if you get it when you are younger Yes. Either they could have a higher output of power, or they could lose less energy The conditions would be forces touching you, or touching something that you are touching (not the planet, that would require you to be too old to survive). Here is an example: Getting up in the morning was hard for Frank. Frank got out of bed refreshed, but kind of bleary. Splashing water onto his face, he narrowed the force to be a sharp shock rather than something akin to a wet slap. Sometimes he wished that he could be a Stormdancer, and be able to just direct the water away from his eyes and just go back to sleep. But he needed to go to work and get on with his life. After getting dressed, Frank went outside and dulled the light coming through his glasses. The sunlight was too bright, and the heat was too much for him. He toned it down, not caring that it made him more tired. So here in the example, Frank narrowed the force of the water on his face, and dilated outward the force of the light that was going through the glasses and allowed the heat to disperse outward. So I'm not sure exactly. At least, they are the classification for the magic type. upwards of that, it depends on what I have the plot going around. yes! that is where I was going with the main character! They are going to have a disorder that would (at least normally) cause them to die at an earlier age. The power level is dependent on the proportion of the expected age that you would live to if you lived an average life (no extreme choices for diet, nutrition, risky choices...) Thanks! I hope that the example helps, but I don't have a good idea for the plot. This is a secondary plot that I'm working on, and this one is fantasy.

Welcome to the Shard! The intro page is just to let people know about you a little. How was selling your soul to Rubix? What is your favorite magic system and why?

So, basically, if you reveal your power, then people know abt how powerful you are, and what Nostrom you belong to. Also, using 'power' makes you kind of tired

Wow. those are great

So I've had this idea for a magic system for a while, and I was wondering what people thought about it. here it is: Everyone is part of a Nostrom, except that everyone gets their powers at a different age, which inversely affects the potency of the magic (as they get older without powers, the powers get stronger when they get them). The Nostroms are genetic, to an extent. The Windshreders are the most genetically rare, and the genetic frequency gets more and more with Joltes and Jumps as the highest. The powers also have to do with cell aging (telomere length) Magic system: Nostroms: The Windshreders control the disparity of forces (they can narrow or disperse the area that the force is acting on) wind is very useful for this. Very hard to kill if they get it when they are old. A bullet is like a punch, not a stabbing pain. (cannot fly, unless the wind is directed in the right direction from the beginning (they can't change the direction of the force, only the area that the force is acting on))(the strength and spread of the force is the variable) Stormdancers changes the direction of a force. (to an extent. If the force is too powerful, then they might not be able to change it) (the strength of the force is the variable, as well as the maximum angle that they can turn the force (180 would be the power level right as you die)) Chronoflyghtists: Time <= 10 mins away, for 10 minutes max: the longest recorded from someone that was 95 when they got their power (what they do in the past does change the present, the future is only for viewing (after you are done in the future, if it is before your time is up for the alternate time, you are stuck there until the present catches up (basically, your body on the present is not able to move until the time is up)) if you go into another time and see yourself, then you get sent back to your present time and everything that you did is erased from history (if you went back in time) Jumps: make someone else’s power work for longer, stronger, in a wider area, or one of the earlier stated for a longer time (only one (varies per person)) Jolts: cancel the powers of people in a sphere around them for a short time (-10s) (the radius is the variable) People don’t flaunt their powers, partially because keeping it secret could save you, but also that using the power makes you lose some of your energy. The main character is from the Windshear Nostrom and has a mentor that got his powers at 53 (ten years ago). Flora and fauna: Ontophs: reptiles that control the flow of water. Have large shells that absorb water to cool their long necks and legs. They are basically deer sized brontosauri with large (wide and tall) shells Yes, I know that they sound like some of the orders from SA, but this was before I read those books. The names could still change. Please tell me what you think is good / cool, and what needs to be fixed!!

"What are we going up against? Will any of them be Investiture users?"

a papercut

This relates to rep and people, but for someone, when I went to give them rep, it gave them rep, and their rep 'level' said "too L337 for even Hoid" or something like that. I refreshed and it went back to normal.

So this idea came up when I realized that TLR could also stand for The Lone Ranger, which is kind of what Wax tried to be. This thread is for TLR acronyms that are applicable to existing or future Mistborn books. (I guess if you guys come up with a good general cosmere one, then that could go here too...) Have fun! I'll be checking in here soon for the best ones

Yeah. We know that he ingested it, so...

My specialty. RaFO!

What, are you questioning whether or not I changed the WoBs to say RaFO? Well, you are right to do so. I wouldn't trust myself either. I didn't, though. Those were the #god_metals tag with Adonalsium mentioned in it

And do we know that Dragonsteel isn't Aluminium? Here are WoBs:
