How about fiberglass? Depending on the composition it can be quite flexible though it is not pure glass so much as a collection of glass fibers held together by plastic. I am not sure I would make a sword out of it, but it certainly can be quite flexible and durable. Perhaps with a sharp tip it...

That's it! All potions of cure light wounds will be replaced by suppositories of cure light wounds!

What an image THAT is... "Hold on guys! Before we fight I just need to take a potion real quick." **unzips pants and bends over** "Don't mind me, I'll be done in a jiffy!" **slips on some rubber gloves and gets to business**

Well, you could influence the various races with cultural flair that one doesn't normally associate with those races. Obviously standard fantasy assumes european (and since most of the writers are european it is the most familiar to work with). But lets take those races you mentioned for...

While having an exact schedule is a nice detail, it is often an unnecessary one. None of your readers are going to be harping about what exact time a class was unless for some reason time is a very important aspect of the story itself (for example if several story lines are happening at the same...

Leeches were often used to draw blood as a cure for a variety of ailments. Thinning your blood before taking a potion would increase the overall concentration in your blood. Leeches are also well known for their anesthetic properties (which is what keeps people from realizing they are being...

I have two questions/feedback/suggestions I guess. The first one is this: When you subscribe to a thread (which by default is automatically when you post in it) is there a way to have your notification thing light up when there are new posts? Right now I have to hunt down my subscription...

To tell the truth, we only post all that legal stuff because lawyers say we have to because silly people like to ruin things for everyone. It's a free contest and the prize is a medal and your work included in a video game. I doubt either of those prizes will alter our tax brackets. ;) We...

True enough, but compared to carbon... carbon is in just about everything. Might as well be able to manipulate "stuff".

If she could control carbon, she could just tear the carbon out of a person or change it into a blade and spin it around, dicing them up from the inside or any other number of horrific things. At that point why bother with a sword at all? Besides, thematically, sand manipulation is cooler than...

Hey guys, its me again. We have another contest over at AkamaruGames.com! Though some of you might think it is early for Halloween, we at Akamaru Games don't have time for your negativity in our lives. So here we have a Halloween Epitaph Writing Contest! All you have to do is submit an...

Finger strikes are generally not a good idea. Fingers are very easily broken because they have so many joints to get knocked out of place (which is why people punch with knuckles instead of their fingers). So if you had claws in your gloves, a raking motion is better than a stabbing one...

Thank you kindly. The game really is a labor of love that we look forward to sharing with as many people as possible. We have already plunked a good year and a half into it, so it would be nice to know that at least someone will know about it when we are done ;) We also look forward to seeing...

Video games are rife with glass weapons. Notably, the Ultima series has glass swords that shatter upon use but instantly kill whatever you strike with them. Not sure how believable that would be in an actual story though. I am curious about how exactly your character can control sand. Like how...

Well we would like to involve our future fans as much as possible. Still trying to figure out how best to do that ;) The winning entry(s) for the next contest will also be put into the game.
