![]() I didn’t end up liking it that much, because while it was a self-consistent source of arcanobabble for wizards to go on about ether circuits and paralyzing energies and so forth, I was never really able to get them to hook into real world physics or biology in a way that would allow for unexpected results the way that, for example, Brandon Sanderson’s allomancy did. This kinda reminds me of a system of arcanobabble I once developed that operated on the interactions between the four elemental essences and humour theory and so forth (I think it’s actually on the blog somewhere, back when I was posting full articles daily and regularly had to mine whatever creative work I had lying around for fodder whenever I had no ideas left, which was very often). He released raw, unstable, pure Essence into my Core, and into the world around me as it overflowed.ĭani tried to help, “Cal! Try and collect it in a shell around you! Make a larger body for yourself!” Fire, water, air, earth, celestial, and infernal – all the basic Essences – were pouring into me and processing themselves. The power was so vast that it was simply impossible for me to contain it. The dead man’s Essence blasted into me, more varied and elaborate than any I had ever had the pleasure of enjoying before. So much that he has trouble holding onto it all and threatens to overload and die. The other important takeaway is that Cal gets essence from people dying within his influence, and it is worth a lot. Shouldn’t have been hard to give total coverage to the entrances and exits to each room, Cal. We open this chapter with a brief recount of the dungeon raid from before from Cal’s perspective, the only important takeaway from which is that he has done an atrocious job placing his static defenses or else made his corridors way too wide, because despite multiple chokepoints it was only through pure chance that one of the raiders actually walked into any of his defenses.
