    Post the schematics so someone can make it?

    I can't think of any reason Szeth would let himself be worshipped as a god, or anyway his character could grow close enough to someone to have that conversation.

    Could work wonders for PTSD sufferers, or really any mental illness related to a trigger even. You could probably banish a good number of mental illnesses entirely by messing about with Determination, Memory, and Identity. For example, storing traumatic memories, storing identity, retrieving traumatic memories, tapping identity until the memories stop being associated with negative feelings.

    I love it, read it once for the story. I'll do a more in-depth reread when I have more time. The concept is great, and I love the atmosphere - the suspense is fantastic. So yeah, better critiquing coming when I've got some time.

    The Command of Delegation!

    I like that one. Looks very sinister.

    It's all speculation. We know Kal is immune to the Thrill, however.

    Isn't a circle already flat?

    Crushed leg still, though having what amounts to a magical power armour is probably pretty handy for staying active while recovering from injuries.

    Of course, you'd need to reread everything again so you can have an intuitive knowledge of the books, while still having the exact copies available in the copperminds. In an entirely unrelated note, is it possible to do a complete mindwipe with copper and store all of your memories?

    His tin savantism supersense kung-fu is pretty badass though. You gotta admit that.

    At some point, probably. She's been with Wyndle a while.

    I don't mind it if it's used as "the awesome bulk of the chasmfiend..." used as a descriptor of quantity and awe, but unless used in a comic fashion (Lift!! ) just using it as a descriptor of "goodness" throws me off. Brandon could learn a bit -even an awesome amount- from writers such as Rothfuss and Martin in terms of prose, but his magic systems tend to be so integral to the plot that the exploration tends to be in the application rather than the discovery. I like the way he did it in WoK, though, with a clear system and a single character knowledgeable and capable in about a tiny fraction of one system, while giving discovery a chance with the slower characters.

    The guy had quite a few layers of redundancy, didn't he?

    No. Dead bodies of Ati and Leras materialize out of the mists when they..die. Atium and Lerasium are the bodies of Ruin and Preservation - the shards - , unintuitively.

    I thought it might be something like a kite shape with the bottom taken out.

    Guess what I got you for your birthday Moogle? SURPRISE! *Monks jump out and start chanting. Bones begin warping in unnatural patterns beneath the skin.

    Directly before that quote, he talked about gathering Surgebinders and warriors. The fortress is a metaphorical one against the onslaught of the Voidbringers, and while I am sure that a physical one or five will pop up as a consequence of the war, the one referenced here is a metaphor. A fortress is only as good as it's army, after all, and the rebuilding of a specific fortress, especially when it is barely implied to be directly connected, is far too specific for the prophetic vision of a dead god.

    It's a good thing Wax prefered bullets to battlaxes than, eh? I don't think this would work, however. Evidence points to the Cognitive ideal of the person supplying the mold for their healing, and a Cognitive mold would not under any circumstances include a clone.

    Assuming he isn't wearing anklets, piercings, belt buckles, headbands, etc. Which he wasn't, so valid point. However, Feruchemical gold would probably still counter it.
