The Battle for the Sandwich
SpiritOfWrath replied to AltonicKeys's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
I hiss and scramble out of my lair, circling you many times before snatching the Sandwich back. I spontaneously grow wings and four arms, flying away to the clouds.- 13709 replies

Is that a Sanderson reference?!?!?!?!
SpiritOfWrath replied to Hmmm lies's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
People want us to live in harmony, but then start wars. Obviously a Harmony/Discord reference. Discord is a.Sazed reference. Microsoft Silverlight is a Cosmere reference. I was nauseas, obviously meaning I’m an air sick lowlander reference. I ate a plant. Obviously an emerald sea reference. The Mongols burnt down many cities (Like Dalinar). They obviously knew what Sanderson would write and were trying to alert the world to the wonder. -

Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)
SpiritOfWrath replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted, but since Soviet Russia just destroyed the planet, cookies are rarer and much more expensive. You live the rest of you’re life in debt peonage, now made possible by societal upheaval leading to a dictator overturning to Soviet Union. I wish for a permanent full nights rest while awake. -
Y’all. I’m SpiritOfWrath, but, like SadDragon, that doesn’t really describe who I am. Also, like the one above, I will prob just lurk for a bit b4 actually joining I write because if I don’t, the little demon spren in my brain that give me ideas will find me and hurt me. The demon spren got to me early, and that is all I’ll say. (The reason I’m writing early is cuz I like it and I need to grow confidence) Right now I am working on a few things, mainly trying to build confidence. The most recent on is Mirth, a story from which my username comes from. But before, my first was a story named Draconics, then one, as of yet unnamed, about taking common fantasy magics/races and making them stranger. (Goblins are dwarf warriors, hobgoblins are corrupted elves, etc.). Then I moved onto a story line comprising of multiple stories I’ve worked on. My favorite authors other than one small author, u know, Sanderson, are James Islington, and Michael J. Sullivan.

Granted, but you would never eat a metal and never discover your powers. I wish for Soviet Russia to resurface and take over the world. -
The Longest Thread (Misadventures)
SpiritOfWrath replied to ElephantEarwax's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Out of the blue, a blue rabbit spoke, emitting blue waves of speech. “I believe I may help you with that, mortal. They call me Balthalizariteralionaritorpojk. The Aethers have blessed me.” Balthalizariteralionaritorpojk shuffled over to Nogard, and inspected the writing. “Nevermind. I don’t know this specific dialect.” With that, Balthalizariteralionaritorpojk faded away, along with all the blue around Nogard.- 111941 replies

Ok so the next bit of this, the magic system, can be divided into two parts. These two usually cancel out, emitting a black color or light when they do. They also emit this when the should cancel, but don’t. All people have access to both, but because it’s both, they cancel. Imbalanced magic cause the powers. 1. Hasrathan: They have access to the “Strands” glowy yellow stuff that they can control with their mind… the strands have strength correlated to the ratio of the two magic parts within them. The strands also prolong their life, fighting off diseases for them, and making them stronger. However, the cancel out turns their skin a charcoal color, starting from eyes and hands. They don’t need to eat. However if they are killed (not likely, since they are so powerful), the Hasrathan part of their power uses this as an opportunity to eliminate the lesser power. After this, the Hasrathan part has full control, and since there is no other power holding it back, they are much much much more powerful than any other Hasrathan… The power has an inherent aggression that is harder and harder to control the more powerful one is (more accurately, the more power required to do any given action sets their current aggression). This manifests with the manipulation of the Strands as the Strands are a second consciousness, albeit simplistic, pleading and trying to hurt things. However, the good thing about this is that the power is intelligent (again, not really enough for communication, just enough to have feelings and carry out tasks), and if controlled well enough, will carry out tasks given them with more detail than one would ever be able to do themselves. 2. Other power (I really have no name for it yet… I use Talic as a placeholder because the first user of this power I developed was Talic). Manipulation of any force anywhere. Is intelligent, but doesn’t assume anything. Only does exactly as ordered. Can also detect forces, and be used as sudo logic circuits (if knife approaches, stop it, except it has to specify exactly how to stop it, etc.). Prolongs life and makes the charcoal color, although only for eyes, like the Hasrathan power. Some may argue that it is much more powerful if used correctly, and that is ABSOLUTELY correct… Ok it also does eliminate the Hasrathan power after death, and take control. However, it is less like a murdering child trying to imitate an adult, and more like an adult trying to imitate an adult, and the only real downside is temporal decrease in motor function. (Losing muscle memory). Some cases are seen where the power is used to carry out a specific task, like the Illuminated (their only power is the ability to see others with the Talic power) and certain flora and fauna. For example, the dragons would use it for better maneuvering. Lastly, the weird case where the two coexist. Usually this is accomplished by putting a barrier between the two. (Eating the genetic material of a creature that accomplished this does that. I know, gross) This gives them access to both the powers, as well as the ability to use them together. The biggest advantage (you know, other than the fact that you now have nothing holding either one back) of this is the ability to link the Talic power to an object of the Strands, which is invincible. One character takes advantage of this to create a cloak that protects him from any danger, among other things. And finally, specifics. I won’t give away much at all, but I will tell what times will have a perspective. The Cold War like time. The Revolution (and time leading up to it). After the fall of Hasratha. (Sorry for the double post. New here, still internalizing the rules.) I also realized I forgot a question. Where, in y’all’s opinion, should I go with the “After the fall of Hasratha” Also any general criticism is welcome. (I do realize this is better if I become, like, a member of writing of excuses, but I didn’t see that until after.)

Woah... I have this totally awesome writing project right now, and it *kind of* worrying... I'm going to first list the events (tentatively) 1. Sci-fi world of The Illuminated, a cold war situation. Two countries (though they can't use nukes bc of dragons) are competing, bitter enemies. They don't attack each other because (placeholder name) the dragonlands are right between them. The main characters are from thirdworld countries, basically the countries that the U.S. and warsaw pact took advantage of during cold war. Using materials found from dragon blood (this material is what allows them to fly/manuever + more) these people developed space travel. Haven't decided the political climate of the planet at this time. Also, explorers of the Dragonlands gain strange abilities (force manipulation) Many many generations later (these events will likely just be implied), this people are adept at space travel, and have catalogued many planets. Right now those with the abilities are generally in charge. They discover a variety of planets that have more concentrated forms of the dragon's special material, which are cohesive with their abilities. One of them also has a separate material, capable of cancelling out their powers. The people in charge forbid settlement there, as they are afraid of revolt. A nonenhanced person, Wriulin, starts to study this material, then leads followers into revolt, making them ingest the materials. They gain separate powers, but not all of his followers ingest some. Their revolt is catastrophic, because some of the newly enhanced people die, and Wriulin’s followers just barely escape, crashing (with little to no technology) on one of the planets with both magical material. (Wriulin did not ingest any of this material, instead, he was once stranded [on a similar planet], and had to eat local fauna. The fauna had a way to access both of the powers even though they cancel out. His research was resulting from this, but he only found a way to give people one power, instead of both.) On the exile planet, a large number of unenhanced individuals break away, immediately splitting off bc they felt betrayed by Wriulin. These people move far enough away that eventually they are forgotten. (Wriulin and some Hasrathans still know of them) Meanwhile, Wriulin begins to lead the people as a dictator, Hasrathans (name of the enhanced people) being his underlings. They don't age, and slowly learn to control their abilities. Many many many years later, one of the Talis (the portion of the unenhanced population that didn't break away) gains powers (more on how later) and uses them to aid two Hasrathans (more ont that later too...) to overthrow Wriulin. Wriulin dies in the revolution, and these people take power. Wriulin had certain safeguards (The main one being Hasrathans really never die) in place to prevent something, but these Hasrathans forget about it. This "it" is that when a Hasrathan dies, their power takes over and is very malicious (bc of the nature of the power. And since the power is in control, it is much more powerful than a Hasrathan.) Wriulin's city falls, right as an army of the break away humans attacks them. These break-away humans had access to the material from the dragons blood (it manifested as blue crystals here) and are able to cancel out the Hasrathan's powers. They crush the dead Hasrathans. (The reason they attacked is not just, coincidentally, “they felt like it right at the time Hasratha fell”, but bc a group of Hasrathans, including the revolutionaries [before they got the idea] visited them [though only a handful knew of the breakaways, Wriulin still allowed trade] and were amazed by all the technological advances the break aways have [since Wriulin was emperor, he suppressed this sort of progress so there would be no chance of killing them] and one of them, a spy from another faction, noticed their fascination and begins to think of them as weak, which, compared to the breakaways, they are) Protagonists find themselves trying to prevent the force that attacked Hasratha (Wriulin's nation) from taking over all the other factions of the break off humans The rest is undecided. Will post the rest (magic systems, specifics, etc.) in a bit

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
SpiritOfWrath replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When you read any book and think how easy it would be to thwart the villain by lashing them into the sky... (never to be seen again) -
O ye! 2000 is just a number! But honestly, Sanderson has been hinting at it for a while, and it’s not really a matter of “what does it bring to the story” but more “does this break any promises (foreshadowing but a better word) that he has already made”

Tien’s rock! Wit’s flute! Kal not dying! The odd amounts of tens in kals history! (It’s kinda ridiculous…) The first two are confirmed to be fortune. The next two seem like they shud be. (I know fortune compounding won’t make anyone into Mat, but cmon, why are there no fortune compounders…)

What's Brandon Up To Post Stormlight 5
SpiritOfWrath replied to Forts Board's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Me too. Bc if Mistborn gets a movie, then the logical next step is stormlight. And then I can see Wit completely destroy Amaram with his quips. -
(Nabbed the wrong quote. Shud be the paragraph b4 this one) Also, a tangential point, is Sanderson’s Wit rant to Shallan about pain. All pain and feelings, everything about humans is relative. Wit asked Shallan of a situation when someone is in perpetual pain and asked if they can still know art. Shallan answered by saying the times when the pain is lessened would be art. Even though the change would likely be minuscule, this hypothetical person would appreciate the change much more than other times. It goes in the other direction too. When people know no pain, even the smallest slight can offend them or hurt them much more than it would a non hypothetical person. And by this time you’ve already severely limited their free will to get them to this point. Cut them some slack. They can’t make everything perfect without making nothing special.

I had a funny magic system where all the people with powers only had the ability to pinpoint who had powers. Then I expanded it, saying, well, their blood is pretty freaking useful. So groups of people, (I believe I called them the Hamikyn or something. It means something like killer of family in various languages) they would go around hunting and killing the Illuminated (name of the enhanced individuals) and selling the magical material to various governments. (This is a Cold War scenario, so some governments actually asked them for it, but from the developing countries) The twist was that they were also illuminated, bc otherwise they would be unable to hunt them. (… and then I added dragons [I had good reason, don’t worry {I didn’t want nukes to be available just yet, so I made the sky incredibly dangerous}])
