  1. “Personality wise - my Author’s personality is influencing how I think and act. On top of me not getting anything interesting to do, I’m being intermittently mind controlled.” You could - it would still kill you, I think - but perpetual motion machines are really significant. You’d also have radiation shielding in other circumstances, such as space travel. But yes, if there is such a lord of color, they’d cause problems and be rather OP.
  2. Dr. Warren checks to see if it actually resulted in damage to the table.
  3. “Warmth from a fire is a form of light, with a color most people cannot see. But this is Author bleedover talking, and I’m not sure you care either.” I wonder if there is a gamma lord of color. And converting infrared into ordinary color can reverse entropy and prevent waste heat.
  4. Rebus concedes the point, noting that it’s been a while. “Do you turn heat signatures or radio waves to visible red?” he asks, turning on his antimatter-annihilation lighter for a reference.
  5. Somewhat disappointed, she tries to pass the dagger through the table.
  6. Rebus’s nanotechnology quickly replaces everything colorchanged with molecules from the air, collecting the red atoms and storing them for later shenanigans. “Interesting… Red actually has higher energy, you know. Or maybe it doesn’t - I don’t remember. Shall we go set something on fire?”
  7. Confident her gloves will prevent electrocution, she passes the dagger through the tesla coil induced lightning.
  8. Rebus protests to the description that his metamaterials put the light back again, making it look like nothing happened. “So my memory was correct. Do you need anything? What would happen if a whale swallowed you whole?” Rebus and Jilu are standing on a futuristic watercraft in the ocean, yielding some ominous meaning to the question.
  9. Rebus nods. “For one thing, I thought you made the Notblades from Madness’s powers, and for another I’m probably insane and powerful enough. If I’m Madnessed, I’ll probably only be able to fight your characters, which will be boring.” He turns to Jilu, the change of color corrected through metamaterials. “Finally something to do. Do you need any explosives? And you aren’t a rabbit, correct?”
  10. Rebus nods. “Of course I’m a Narrator. I had the drone, remember? But you know as well as I that me knowing something my Author doesn’t results in an informed ability, which thus makes it hard for me to prepare for fighting Ennulers.”
  11. The fear is justified, I think. I’d like to do something about it, though. I’ll have to counter them at both power level and plot level, if I- he cuts off. Don’t want to lay the foreshadowing on too thickly. As for Bat, that’s probably good, character-wise. But I think I need aid from Authors in order to fight them. Did I tell you something came to me for a Faustian bargain and I annoyed it away by accident? I think the Thread is trying to stop me from having fun.
  12. Rebus, listening, wonders how that would be different from an ordinary sword. He’s calmed down a bit, or at least seems to have. Maybe I can get myself one of those - depending upon how likely the Scribe is to no-sell me otherwise. Speaking of which, would you happen to know anything about Ennullers. Template thanks Tam, then looks around more critically at the beach. Perhaps there’ll be some aforementioned adventure…
  13. Fill projectiles or a turbine with many speck of dust, then propel them to either generate energy or be a railgun. Edit (ninjas!): place things you need perfect knowledge of on the notebook’s pages. Alternatively, if you only know the words written on it, you can get unblockable communication, using stamps or an actual typewriter to speed up the process. You are a wonderful electrical conductor, causing nearby electricity to ground to you through the air, so much better than even wires you are. You can turn the power on and off, but you lack any required secondary powers.
  14. Dr. Warren is shocked (no pun intended). “You said you were incorporeal, but if you’re unaffected by electromagnetism, what are you made of?”
  15. The technician comes back with a small table, then sets it up and places a device on it. There’s a base with a cord and two metal spires, on with a ball on the end. “I would not get too near, unless you’re certain this is Andarik.” Dr. Warren cautions. “The light this device makes is rather dangerous.” She turns it on, and a small arc of electricity snaps between the two spires with a buzz, changing shape rapidly.
  16. She shrugs. “It doesn’t answer my question, but it’s useful information nonetheless. You say you were made?” She turns to a technician. “Do we have a tesla coil around somewhere?”
  17. Template flickers back to being Owen for a moment. “I was - but someone made me Owen. My real name is apparently Template.”
  18. Template nods. “It is quite nice. Did I introduce myself to you?”
  19. She nods. “If you can describe what a soul is, I would be very interested. It’s likely a substance intrinsic to your species; we may know of it non-biologically.”
  20. Template shakes their head. “I did, I think, but now I do not. While I thought we had spoken about him, I knew who he was.” They follow the others out into the street, not really knowing what else to do.
  21. Template’s memory reverted to its true state, they are more confused than before. “How did that happen? Who is Onyx - why did I mention him?” I’m going to sleep now. Good night!
  22. Template cocks their head confusedly as their memory of the conversation fades again.
  23. Even if the material of the sphere is mundane, depending upon what happens to what is where it was, different exploits can be done. If it explodes when things overlap, you can make explosives. If you replaces matter, you can cut through anything through repeated application of the sphere. If matter is displaced, you can potentially propel things or use it offensively, and finally even if only “unoccupied” locations for the sphere are valid, I can create a bunch of ball bearings to trip people, and potentially power a turbine by summoning spheres above it. You bring a diegetic (so you can hear it, though it follows musical and movie patterns) musical number everywhere you go, with mood-matching music and people randomly compelled to act as backup dancers, though nobody is prevented from carrying out actions for more than thirty seconds - in some cases they simply perform their actions to the music.
