Re: Spirit Walker Spoilers - Chapter 14

Who says Wild arcanes aren't smart....it seems more likely they are just undereducated and Most are a bit feral Yes, the wild arcan are not necessarily stupid, they may have just given in to their animal instinct side. Any attempt to control them could drive them even more feral. If we consider the...

Re: Karinne Generation's powers

Here is some food for thought: Excellent boballab , that would answer quite a few hanging threads. Once exposed the Consortium could even use its mere existence to sow mistrust and fear amongst the Faey. I think that they might have developed the technology from the Karinne interfaces though. If th...

Re: Karinne Generation's powers

you have to remember the Faey are a two tiered society. The Noble Houses work completely different then the commoners. ... snip ... Speaking of Rann, Fel was talking about possibly doing a story on Rann's personality growing up in a Human/Faey household. How he can fit into or not fit into the mold...

Re: Spirit Walker - Spoilers - Chapters 1 through part of 14

What we're missing here, in order to make a more educated guess, is an understanding of the limits of the spirits ability to influence. The spirits we've seen interacting with humans have only seemed to affect moods. The cat calmed the boy. The eagle perhaps provided confidence to the initiate. The ...

Re: Karinne Generation's powers

Yes the nobles actively seek stronger male to breed with but all Faey seem like stronger male telepaths, common or noble. The females like to dominate males but they don't want it to be easy. Subjugation chapter 3 at the opera Zarina Marci Trillane after she fails to dominate Jason: “Why can’t you b...

Re: Spirit Walker Spoilers - Chapter 14

Here's some problems I see with the Shaman trying to replace crystals. 2. The power to make the crystals come from the spirits. As a whole the spirits want to get the humans to stop using crystals. The spirits can block the Shaman from making replacement crystals. Not sure this is the case. The spi...

Re: Karinne Generation's powers

Here I think the human telepaths are the wild card. Although the Faey were opposed to genetic manipulation, they are selectively breeding strong telepaths as a social selection. Society favors the stronger talents with access to better jobs etc. partly because of their militaristic leanings but also...

Re: Spirit Walker - Spoilers - Chapters 1 through part of 14

I'd like to know what the ratio between arcan and human has worked out to in the actual story. 10 humans to every arcan seems too low. In towns and cities, maybe, but when you take rural populations into account... Assuming most farm worker are arcan (as observed so far) and 70% of the population li...

Karinne Generation's powers

I’ve been wondering if telepathy and telekinesis are the only powers the Faey can exhibit. Jason and Yana’s daughter Kyri and his son Rann, with Jyslin, are the most powerful Generations so far. The ability to affect space and time might offer up a way of boosting shielding or weapons. Teleportation...

Re: Spirit Walker - Spoilers - Chapters 1 through part of 14

I'm afraid if that is the plot, I'm going to have to throw my lot in firmly with the Loremasters. Corrupt and stupid as they are, they can stand on their own feet (once they get over their silly crystal obsession) and they can in theory get better. The arcans have chosen to be dependent on hand out...

Re: Spirit Walker - Spoilers - Chapters 1 through part of 14

I’m gonna go on a huge speculation fest! Kyven’s shadow abilities may have some similarities to the Shadow Dragon that Tarrin Kael faces. So they may include: a) shadow invisibility b) the ability to cast shadow - maybe like a mild disorientation version of shadow dragon breath c) shadow jumping - a...
