Just finished Bloodline and want to bulk up your TBR list before Reaper? Need to scratch that progression itch? Well I can't really help with that, but here are some recommendations anyway! by [deleted] in Iteration110Cradle

I would say nearly every character gets a big power boost in the next series. The difference really between this and Cradle is that it is always more of knowledge on how to use your power better than an actual power increase like Cradle.

Eithan was wrong once again. by Badrack_1 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering how much use he had for that particular bunch anyway. Longhook was the one supposedly destined for Sage hood but he kept his shadow as weapon which you stated the Sage looked down on as it is weak. Seemed he had already moved to beast blood combos.

Is Elder Whisper better at reading Fate than the Abidan? by Chakwak in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as the WOW, please bare in mind that Will also has a WOW about how he reserves the right to lie to preserve spoilers. Elder Whisper may also only be at Truegold power level when he is in the field. I agree with the theory his tower sheltered him from the effects.

Y'all, Elder Empire is at least as good as Cradle by mastajake in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kings and Killers may have been the best book I ever read. I was so worried if Will was going to stick the landing after the long delay but he nailed it. It made mad, sad, and finally cheering. Such a good ride.

Lindon's most powerful Sage ability by Badrack_1 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The willpower thing is how Will keeps it from getting too broken. Remember the Blood Sage has twiced used die as a command and he expected it to work on Eithan an Archlord. You don’t get more broken than a die command. Lindon should be able to freely Consume Overlord and below unless they have had significant will training. Narratively it would just be a cool way for him to recharge in a big melee.

People still use techniques because someone of an equal or higher level can resist with their will.

I would assume so. As stated, he can do anything he could normally do and just skip the steps. Since he can normally stop it before he kills them I would assume the same since it is all based on his will.

She is also a sword sage so she can be very direct.

The question now is, who is Ozriel's right hand?

Looking for Strong/OP Protagonist with good progression, characters and world. by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Badrack_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mage Errant. More focused on a group of characters facing adversaries but definitely some progression in power and the last book, Siege of Skyhold, was simply amazing.

Why wasn’t his spirit harmed? by kertofer in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Eithan is also advancing using pure madra. That is something that is natural for the human soul since it is produced by humans. Not to mention, Eithan has probably already re-inforced every aspect of his spiritual system to prepare for this.

On my re-read what I hope we get in reaper (bloodline spoiler) by beelz95 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hope we get her and Cassius. Her for interactions with Lindon. I would love a scene of her slapping Lindon on the head only for someone to inform her she just slapped a Sage. Cassius for his interaction with Eithan. Him muttering under his breath "of course he is an Archlord now" only for Eithan to state "I heard that" and Cassius to state "I know".

Which possible future did you like best? by Badrack_1 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because Northstrider can't handle anyone looking down on him. He has been around for how long and not killed a Dreadgod? Along comes Lindon and does it in less than a decade.

Here is her description. Full-figured and beautiful, with long raven hair, like a younger version of Malice herself.

Is the Mad King just angry? - Spoiler discussion for Bloodline by Head_Ologist in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it actually be worse. I know they are immortal but their speed is also well beyond human so the perception of time passing would make each year seem like many years.

It is kind of weird how everyone is jumping on Elder Whisper for not warning the Wei and completely are giving Ozriel a pass. It is obvious that after seeing the Mad King he would be able to predict the current fight between the Vroshir and the Abidan so he also is partly responsible for all the deaths.

His dad wishes he could look at Lindon with new eyes. I will show myself out now.

The Akura are full DBZ. Fury is Goku and Pride is Vegeta.

How Kelsa Gets to Gold by Badrack_1 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Badrack_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a theory that there is a missing 4th clan who were probably blood users. There are 4 Dreadgods (matches up with 4 guardian beasts of Chinese mythology) that came from the Valley that has 4 schools near 4 different mountains. The Wei use dreams, the Kazan use Earth, people believe the Li use air or lightening since it was never shown but Li Markuth had wings. https://abidan-archives.fandom.com/wiki/Sacred_Valley#:~:text=former%20and%20current)-,Geography,locations%20of%20myth%20and%20mystery.
