2024-09-06 06:47:16 +0000 UTCMy math may be wrong but the 100gl = 1 cp would mean earning and spending 50 million gl to earn 1 million cp. The chapter has earning and spending 500k to make 1 million cp, a 1-to-1 conversion rate.

2024-08-28 10:55:11 +0000 UTCI would ask about Apotheosis and potential Demonification, but I figure the first is the result of getting 100s in your astrals, maybe one, maybe multiple, maybe all. Demonification is also a potential result of getting Astral too high.

2024-08-20 14:56:52 +0000 UTCThird question, what is monsterization? What are monsters? Magic apparently can cause chaotic mutations, is monsterization just that happening to humans? Or is there something more, a kind of seventh astral category that they have a power in?

2024-08-20 14:55:08 +0000 UTCMy other big question is, what are demons? Like, you have said multiple times that they are astral without physical, like the opposite of baseline humans, but yet they also have a city on the moon? I thought maybe they were created in the original split 5000 years ago, but then we had a 25000 year old demon. Are they the same as the gods? We know the New Pantheon changed the rules of magic and it has been mentioned multiple times that demons wrote hose original rules. Are they ancient humans that went through some kind of apotheosis as a group? Are new demons appearing, or are there only so many?

2024-08-20 14:53:30 +0000 UTCI wonder if there could be some kind of "power copy" talent? Something like an Arch talent that lets you replicate a power for each of the other categories. Probably doesn't give you the passive boost to the attributes as you finish your Astral Body with those powers as the major limiter, so you could only use the powers at the level of strength a one-talent Arch has. But still, you would likely get a slight bonus for having unoccupied slots, and you would be a decent Brawly and Mage, but a terrible Psychic.

2024-08-20 14:47:42 +0000 UTCI agree with this. My expectation is to see him grow and overcome this rather than this being a flaw throughout the story.

2024-08-20 08:26:25 +0000 UTCAs much as damaged characters make for interesting characters, I think Mark needs to have a therapy episode sooner rather than later. Him getting weird and jumpy all the time when his thoughts stray to archmages or dragons or anything is really going to get old. Also as much as I enjoyed Erick from Ar'K, the only time he solved therapy problems was when he grew so powerful his mind no longer functioned in a way therapy could change... that would be a sad affair for this series. He can have an interesting rough past without making for a rough present and future, mentally. He won't stop being interesting just because he stopped slicing up elevators.

2024-08-20 01:42:08 +0000 UTCI've been quite curious why it didn't hurt Mark to take adamantium into his bones when it should've.
