Sorcery storage?
Just had a small thought.
Is it possible to make an amulet, or talisman, or something among those lines that can absorb and store Sorcery? (like Tarrin and Dolanna does in their bodies)
Could possible be some variation on the void of Tarrins amulet.

Re: Sorcery storage?
While I'm obviously not Fel, I would imagine such a device could be made, but its storage capacity would likely depend on the strength of the Sorcerer crafting it. One made by Tarrin could probably fuel an ordinary Sorcerer's weavings for a good few weeks, if not more.

Re: Sorcery storage?
We're talking about a moving permanent weave here. I think that only Niami could allow the making of something like that, as it would be akin to a rechangable strand that you could pull power out of.
It would be an enchanted item that held a charged weave as it's enchantment. Tarrin or someone else would charge it, and whoever was wearing it at the time could draw from it.
The problem with that is if you over draw from the item, you'd start drawing on the enchantment itself, and you could cause the item's enchantment weaves to fall together and Wildstrike.
Doable but insanely dangerous. There'd have to be a better way.

Oh, that was post 499. I need a really good reason to make post 500. *grin*
Anyone wanna come up with a good reason to see what my new title will be?

Re: Sorcery storage?
Good points. I just thought of it at an artificial body (imitation of an sorcerer), capable to store energy the same way, and enhanced against heat.
It would draw sorcery from whatever source nearby, like Tarrins sword, or the weave, and then store it inside.
Not sure how to be able to draw it out without ruining anything, though. Maybe if it was done by some other sort of magic order...

The change most likely is at 501 posts... Or the Admins might change it down to 499 just to mess with you.lochar wrote:Edit--

*gasp*
The Admins (The title comes with its own complimentary set of capital letters when one likes to feel important.) would never do such a thing.
Now, where did I put that halo...

Nice title, Lochar. Congratulations.
Good taste, admins, and nice touch of humour.
Modified: I've just noticed my new title. LOL.

Spec8472, I think you meant "Admins (...) would never do such thing" (i.e. Admins changing new title threshold to 499 posts), even if you said "Admins (...) would never do such a thing"... because they did!spec8472 wrote:*gasp*

I do believe that "such a thing" is what I meant and is technically correct, unless you meant "... Would never do such things" (plural).
Either way, to my understanding of the common usage of the language (because it's a bastard of a language) both versions are correct.
