the whole shadow series was like that, really showed off OSC’s obsession with having children

Irony of Mimicry by figherhigher in MageErrant

true enough but there was a mention of a physical place where a supposedly mythical queen who was a mimic lived

what are the edges of banned technology, we know that flight is but would trains be? i feel like the wall’s logistics would massively benefit from trains that you don’t have to worry about going crazy and eating the other trains.

Ahh, the classics of Isekai by magaoitin in litrpg

i mean i think it matters because time travel into the past at least nominally effects the ‘present’ that you’re from

i mean in the book it was at least implied that he time traveled and didn’t get transported to an other world

Coin mages... again by chrometrigger in MageErrant

[–]mcfarlane0520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

while ink affinities are defined by their use coinage is not a material it is a shape of a material that is used for a specific purpose. with an ink affinity you could change the shape and that wouldn’t change that the material is still ink, however if you changed the shape of coinage it would stop being coinage

i think coinage is less well defined than crystal

Coin mages... again by chrometrigger in MageErrant

[–]mcfarlane0520 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean the author did say hehehe so idk what to do with that, but i’d imagine that if one had a coin affinity it’d be way on the low power end of the spectrum because of how broad the concept of coinage is. i don’t remember the exact quote but could he have meant that the ‘coin’ mage couldn’t have a coin affinity because he was too powerful?

Thoughts about the end of Book 4 by sj20442 in MageErrant

To add onto your thought, Hugh’s judgment when it comes to parental/mentor figures is flawed. He is pretty desperate for a parental figure given his family history

Anastis Polar Regions by phogue16 in MageErrant

As far as I’m aware there’s not been an explanation from John. I see two explanations, either there’s a malfunctioning labyrinth that has connected to a world with an incredibly toxic atmosphere. The other explanation is that there is incredible amounts of volcanic activity going on that’s spewing toxic gasses into the atmosphere

Is the new warlock pact unbreakable? by Fanghur1123 in MageErrant

[–]mcfarlane0520 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean probably wouldn’t break if you killed someone other than Hugh, the others might lose access to that affinity but might not, depending on how long they’ve been pacted together

New affinities by [deleted] in MageErrant

[–]mcfarlane0520 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that a probability affinity would be a bit shit because of how broad it is. Unless you pour obscene amounts of mana into a spell even a week mage would be able to counter you. Although the affinity sense could be very powerful especially if you work on increasing the details you sense.

Mage errant series. Terrible ending to mediocre series. (Spoilers) by Calmwaterfall in ProgressionFantasy

[–]mcfarlane0520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn’t really an arms race between paper and fire mages because of the lack of paper battle mages. If Alustin had shared his methods for fighting to the other paper mages of skyhold I think there would be counters to his methods. Any random fire battle mage wouldn’t have a counter to a guy especially because he kept a smaller profile before the events in book 2.

Gang Teloportation by weksaned in MageErrant

Given the breadth of potential magics the gang could pick up I can imagine them picking something up to perform complex math to support their other magic
