Ok. Right, I have a much better idea of what it was like now. Thanking you muchly.

I was referred by a friend of mine.

What weaponry was used in the 1800s? Flintlocks, wheelocks, matchlocks? Kinds and power levels of cannons? Melee weapons? Any information would be welcome. Thanks.

Thanks! Always nice to hear that people appreciate your work. :) I think that that is an interesting, let alone original, point of view. I don't think it would work for my disciplines though, but it's a good idea anyhow. :)

I love it! I think the binary star system is brilliant, as well as the portals. The thing I think needs the most elaborating is the "thellakai" race-thing.

Then maybe a small village of some kind of hardy people on the larger asteroids? And maybe the mage-engineer-people could stabilise the unstable ones in the far future?

I have these rules, they're just under different entries in various documents. I'm not too sure on the details of where it comes from, but for magic to be wielded it requires sufficient willpower to harness it. The stronger a magician's will, the more powerful they can be. There are also other...

How big would said asteroids be, exactly? If the worlds are only small? And I like the World Portals idea. Are these naturally occurring or built?

Races have aptitudes, but mostly it's down to personal choice. Humans are better shadowmancers and sometimes psychics or physicals, Dwarves are better nature mages, half-elves are the best illusionists, and elves have aptitude for whatever they want, but tend to prefer the less...

A mage can choose a discipline, and experiment with any discipline until they are satisfied with one. There are laws on magic which dictate that, when a mage comes of age, he or she must go through a ritual to lock their powers into a discipline. Once this ritual has occurred, the mage is more...

I have been writing about my background lore recently, and wrote long and hard about my magic. Warning: it's fairly long. "Magic is the force of the supernatural. It can be used to control the elements, change shape, summon demons, speak with spirits and have all manner of other abilities. All...

Yes, Death's definitely his best character. But I like the Luggage too. My favourite book is either The Colour of Magic/The Light Fantastic, or Reaper Man.

Loved the Goodkind books. Read the entire Sword of Truth series, but the TV series is just... Ridiculous. Pratchett is funny, remarkably so, but it gets slightly excessive after 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 or something books in the same world. Never read Brooks.

Loved the Inheritance cycle. I can overlook the writing style, because he began writing it aged 15, but also because I liked the storyline. His take on the dragons, and the elves, and, to a lesser extent, the dwarves (my favourite fantasy race) are different to most other things I've read. The...
