There might be a similarity to the koloss, as they have four, don't they? Kandra have one pair normally, koloss have two pair. Other than eyes (and excluding the lynchpin), do we have any evidence that inquisitors must have paired spikes, too?

This, plus maybe the Set have kandra on staff?

That brings up an interesting question about hemalurgy. We know that placement of a spike within a body can determine what the spike does. We also know that Vin's spike was a Seeking-powered spike. What we don't know is whether the placement in the earlobe granted the ability to burn bronze - much like Spook's spike granted him the ability to burn pewter - of if that placement simply enhanced an already-existing Seeking ability. (Of course, there's always the possibility that "granting the ability" done on someone who already has that ability would, as a result, "enhance the ability".) It's a fine distinction, yes, but an important one, IMO.

I would love to have a pewter-symbol pewter stein, but I imagine that's outside the bounds of what's possible here.

That makes me wonder more about something that I thought of the other day, something that touches on other topics that have been covered before. Is the Breath a part of the Spiritweb, or could it be the entire Spiritweb of someone from Nalthis? The differences between a drab and a non-drab sounds like it could be similar to how someone would change if they were tapped with a hemalurgic spike but not killed.

Like a pensieve? AWESOME. Where/when did he say this?

Was it Hamlet or Othello? And my comment about the cake was more along the lines of the "mistress clause" that Steris wrote. Theoretically, Wax could use that clause with Marasi, but honestly, I kinda doubt he'd make use of that clause at all. What little we've seen of him, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd want a mistress.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Hey, that's great. I'm pretty bad at managing to pay attention to news, so it's very handy that there'll be people who are on the lookout for updates and such.

My apologies for the fishing expedition, but I wasn't sure if you'd only read his books or also played the Amber: DRPG. Among many DRPG fans, there's an ongoing joke that the game doesn't have classes, per se, but rather hair colors - the redheads are the mystics, the brunettes are the cockroachesfighter-types, and the blonds are the socialites. (And of course, one's real hair color does not have to match the "class" color. Case in point, Merlin is often considered a redhead despite being Corwin's son.)

Hmm. Perhaps he can have his cake and eat it, too.

Welcome aboard! Zelazny, eh? So, which class do you prefer: redheads, brunettes, or blonds?

Sounds good, all around.

I dunno about Harmony having a goal. After three and a half centuries holding the two Shards, Sazed's mind might be starting to be affected. Remember what he told Wax: "The point is Harmony, creating a way for as many as possible to make their own choices." That's the only goal I think Harmony has right now. Then there's Marsh's line at the end: "Harmony has particular views about how things must be done. I do not always agree with him. Oddly, his particular beliefs require that he allow that." Why would the two not agree? Possibly because Marsh doesn't share Harmony's hands-off approach.

>.<# I'm going to say this would end up like Corwin dueling Random - it would go on for days straight, with neither of them taking a break to eat or sleep, and then one would call it off because he had to get ready for a date.

This is one thing that bugged me about Miles. I thought that this was the manner in which it worked, but when Miles used his Augery, it was written as if he hardly ever used it. This makes me think that either he wasn't actually burning his goldminds, or burning a metalmind overrides any allomantic effect of burning a metal in favor of activating the feruchemical effect at an amplified degree.

This was at Eagle Eye Books, very offsite from the con. http://g.co/maps/6aua5 He was doing a WoK signing there on Sunday of that weekend. I asked him that after his talk, when he was signing books.

Actually, I think that the butler had intended to give it to Wax, but Wayne snatched it first. I'm starting to think you may be right about the cop. Maybe not the why, but maybe him.

Get out of my head, CharlesDarius. IOW, what he said.

As an FYI, my post wasn't originally in the thread started by Peter. Peter's post, as you can see, was intended to solicit ideas of things for Brandon to write as he signed books. My thought was just as the thread title suggests - your favorite quotes. An admin thought that the two threads should be merged, so they were.

Wasn't there a scene where TLR was discovered in his Terris-shack in Kredik Shaw looking like an old man? And we were told by Kelsier that TLR went in there on a regular schedule - for three hours every three days (I think). That, to me, sounds like he was spending those hours as an old man so he could store youth.

That is so awesome.

Well, if a kandra replaced someone during the book, we can rule out Wax's uncle. The cop was pointed out as being obvious, which makes me think it's not the cop, as that would be obvious.
