Ah, THAT blinky cursor! And THIS plus-sign! You've got to upload the image to the post first though - a tad confusing the first time around. I probably should have googled it though! Also, sorry for taking over the thread @Aspiring Writer!

Maybe, still don't understand the blinky cursor

Would you still have the same effect though?

I... Blinky cursor... What?

Yes hollow bones will have an impact but also remember that for a human the bones are only 10-15% of your total weight - assuming the same (without any basis in science) for something weighing 900 pounds (I hate working in these units, but I'll deal...) and hollowing bone to weigh half of original you still only get 45 pounds reduction in weight! I think that I would go for dinosaur references instead of the crocodile: https://www.livescience.com/24071-pterodactyl-pteranodon-flying-dinosaurs.html Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatlus And science does think these ones did fly!

Pop in some duraluminium and burn through it all in one insane burst of whatever will happen. I do second your goldmind-thought though..!

We do know very little, and it's a little while since I read it - what would the commands be? "Show future" perhaps, and the birds Intent to help their owners survive? -
This is quite neat! How would it work on First of the Sun?

Sweet ass blade! -

Now this is going to end in someone having their head bashed..! -
Good you fixed that, I never think a beer alternative is better than actual beer..! This makes sense though, shoutout if you need more input. I think digging a level deeper than what you explain to the reader will make for a more convincing lore. You don't need to go all Sanderson, but if there is a level beneath what you show us (ie. you know it is bacterial/viral infection that causes the transformation, but you tell us only that it happens to be contagious) it makes you write it better. Don't know if that came out making any sense, but hey!

Most things are toxic, but the dosage is often the clue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver#Precautions If you want a really cheap solution (which I assume you don't) you could go with allergies. What is causing the transformation into a Werewolf? Virus, chemical, bacteria, magical mumbo-jumbo? Any of these could change the physiology to make the body susceptible to anything you wish. If bacteria, you could also call it anti-bacterial, but that's a stretch If not you could do the same reasoning, but say that the silver reacts with whatever compund and turns into fluroride or nitrate (see the wiki for Silver) Also, ask yourself: "Why can they only be harmed by Silver?" If you shoot it with a ballistic missile, will it still blow into pieces or just feel nothing and stand there in the middle of a crater? Say the setting isn't where you can blow things up (TNT is quite old now though), is the skin impenetrable for anything else than Silver? So many questions for you to answer, and I supply no answer - sorry

Also, predicting does not HAVE to be futuresight does it?

I must make sure all paperwork is filled even for those who have no regard for proper procedure! Working in HSEQ I do start to see where my own Oaths would go, and I do get behind Sigzil completely on this..!

Krox replied to Chasmgoat's topic in Cosmere Discussion
This made me giggle! The theory is sound though (pun thoroughly intended), as light is also just another wave and she can make them have mass. The wave/particle nature of a photon can even be maintained! -
Scandinavian, Russian, Viking (Iceland), Canadian or Danish slave (Greenland)? I can translate to at least one of these! But "flexing" means to boast, to be very assure of yourself and know how strong/smart/*insert attribute here* you are compared to another person. If you know you are much stronger than someone you could flex by armwrestling them with your off-hand instead of your main hand. Am I making any sense?
-
Daaaamn..! Any symbolism behind the poses? -
I feel like the Lord Ruler is pretty flexy when He is also generally quite a flexer!
-
Flow with the mist my friend! -
Niiiiice! Smart with the buttons! Give us some single photos of the vials as well! -
Got to love some XKCD right! Windrunners: It doesn't matter what the goal is, as long as you do what is honourable. What do you mean? Of course informing people when they are wrong is honourable!
-
By chance inspired by Toph? -
Never thought of the Titan analogy on this before..! -
This is good, love the strata on the Windblades! -
This is amazing, damn..!
