    Wind-related humor aside, something important was happening. Well, a lot of important things were actually happening, most of which would never see the light of day due to the limited ability of the Author's imaginations to discover them, but this important thing was both important and already found. Wait, where did I put it again? I could've sworn I left the plot right here. Did somebody steal it* while I wasn't looking? *Like the wind

    *(Mallory was narrating like the wind.)

    I wished it because it’s easier to make people happy based upon not being a good person than it is to make them happy based upon being a good person (impossible depending on the definition). Your bane is that whenever look at food, you can see exactly what it is made of and how it was made. I wish to be able to learn stuff more quickly.

    Granted. Any time you do something not nice, every sharder falls into depression. I wish that every sharder would be happy because I am not a good person.

    Granted. Terry Pratchet comes back to life, but you forget about his books and can never read them again. I wish that all the clothes that I buy would fit perfectly and never wear out.

    No but my brother is. anybody know how to get an Elantris audiobook?

    He was very good at making sure his company didn’t lose any money paying out life insurance. Just like the wind.

    This was part of a plea deal with the SOPSKEEOW*, as Edward's real voice was far too powerful. *Society of Please stop killing everyone every other week.

    This justice was very swift. Like the wind.

    The ancillary Inheritor of the Wind was known as Lord Edward the Windmaster. He had indisputable domination of the wind, and the only the stopping him from becoming the Windfather was his respect for the current holder of that title. Coincidentally, he was the one who'd coined Sir Jeffery's misnomer.

    Fortunately, the Inheritors of the Wind came out of nowhere and put a stop to the movie.

    Then the lawyers attacked.
  13. NameIess
    This turned out to be, surprisingly, completely legal.
  14. NameIess
    (It was. After a lengthy legal battle, The Ghanderflaffle court system had determined that the pseudonym "brave adventurer" couldn't be copyrighted since it was not capitalized. As a result of this, many people had begun using the name.)
  15. NameIess
    So for the good of death statistics, a brave adventurer decided to draw everyone into plot
  16. NameIess
    Not unless all of them got involved in the plot.
  17. NameIess
    But now that the Ghanderflaffle had declared itself a pacifistic empire, experts were hopeful that the rate of death could be cut down by at least 80%, as long as a Narrator didn't decide to make up the difference.

    Rondure appeared to be a total ghost town, filled with many ghosts.

    I put RoW as well, but it's really a toss-up between all the SA books (except OB) that depends on which I've read most recently. Not counting Stormlight, Yumi's my favorite.
  20. NameIess
    Sure! I posted a thing earlier.

    So it began crafting a suit of armor that could express itself properly.

    Hawaii was affronted by this, as it had thought that it was known for the invention of surfing.

    The WoB in my post above with relevant passages highlighted is the citation. Brandon states that F-steel and F-zinc overlap. If I'm understanding your position correctly you're saying that F-zinc increases thought speed and intelligence, but not reaction speed, while F-steel increases physical speed and reaction speed, but not speed of thought. If that were the case, where is the overlap? The only possible way that F-steel can overlap with F-zinc is via sped-up thought. I agree that F-zinc speeds up thought at least somewhat, but that doesn't mean that F-steel can't do the same thing. I do not believe that it works that way. Human thoughts, so far as I understand it, are limited by the speed of action potentials along neurons. Bleeder might be able to increase her speed of thought slightly, but she was moving at an approximately equal rate to that of Wayne's speed bubble, fast enough that bullets were visible and moved "sluggishly". Without magical enhancements, I do not believe that thinking fast enough to comprehend everything is physically possible, no matter how you alter your biology. Relevant quotes from TLM's Ars Arcanum: Nowhere does it state that F-steel doesn't increase thought speed, it merely doesn't mention such side effects. This isn't remarkable, since other side effects such as F-iron's increase of strength so as to prevent the user from crushing themselves, are not mentioned either: (again from TLM's Ars Arcanum)

    They overlap. F-steel gives you sped-up thought and reactions, F-zinc gives you a little bit of sped up thought and greater intelligence. We also see Bleeder using F-steel in Shadows of Self, and for her it seems to be normal bullet time, where from her perspective she's moving normally but everyone else is slowed down/frozen. She moves and reacts normally, even though she's moving extremely fast.

    Nin’s master smiled, and a warm, contented light radiated through his being. To think, after all these years, that I would finally meet someone capable of countering my abilities. That Blade you wield… it is quite the weapon. Something in Nin’s master’s mind shifted in a way that Avatar couldn’t quite comprehend, and a sound reminiscent of shattering crystal radiated through the soul of the ancient hero. As that weapon’s wielder, however, you are a disgrace. You barely scratch the surface with what you can do. You don’t even understand the simplest of that Blade’s powers. You thought it would let you absorb my memories? Technically true, but it won’t let you separate those memories from my consciousness. It will merely allow you to unify my soul with your own. Avatar’s vision of the physical realm returned just in time to see Nin’s master’s body finish crumbling into black ash. Anyways, I must congratulate you Avatar. you've managed to defeat me. I'm certain that the world will tremble with fear at the knowledge that you've killed an old man that used to be a mighty hero. At least a few smart ones might.
