@Wolfrose Yeah, you need to do the location thing on your posts. It just kind of helps to keep things on track so people don't think your character is somewhere he/she isn't
well... that, yeah... or trying to kill the lich because they see her as imprisoning the students not realizing that killing the lich kills everything in this universe?
Yeah. Maybe the group could be a couple canon characters from established universes, come to get their friends back. I mean, they were banished from their universes, but that doesn't necessarily mean everyone in a student's universe was okay with the idea.
That's true. I could definitely see that. But then the spirits, teachers, and all bound students (plus the undead army) would be mobilized against these people... would be interesting, though, as they would see this as the lich being evil.
I had the best scene ever just pop into my head. Nishira and the other sorcerers are talking, maybe after the fighting has died down, and they just casually mention something like.
"Yeah, James is young and needs to learn. Once he's got his first thousand years under his belt, I'm sure he'll have much better control of his powers."
*side note: In The Belgariad, Sorcerers have what I call Norse Immortality. They aren't immortal in the traditional sense, they just keep living until something kills them. Essentially they just kind of stop aging at a certain point, usually related to their perception of how they should look.
ex: Most of the original sorcerers look like very old men, because they believed that a sorcerer is supposed to be an old man. Belgarath's daughter Polegara however looks like she is in her early 30s, because she to her, a sorceress is a mature woman, but an old woman is a crone. (actual [paraphrased] line from the books.)
that's awesome >W< I can imagine that as well. And Why'nn's 'Father' and a Thayan regiment will likely try to invade to recover Why'nn and her brothers.
