You have no idea just how useful those Light Teal Stones would be in my house. Go to Comment

Do you people think this is ready to be submitted?

(Also, the "ritual" is so simple, it really doesn't need to be mentioned here. It is basically, "get doorknob, metal dust, and antimagic stuff, then say magic words, and ta-da!"...) Go to Comment

Technically, that is two. :P

To your second:

quote"If someone manages to catch the knob, can the person turn it immediately to open the door, or do they have to wrestle it back into position first?"/quote

The former. Go to Comment

Okay, it is now a full-fledged submission. Cast your votes!

(Make it painless...please. *gulp*) Go to Comment

I am sure there is a supplementary ritual for that. ;3 Go to Comment

Let's just try and see a party kick down THIS door. :3 Go to Comment

Don't forget some silly, ear-burning music in the background. Go to Comment

The doorknob is pretty durable. Hitting AND damaging it would be a problem, as it is theoretically invulnerable.

This trap requires out-of-the-box ideas. Like breaking down a wall. Go to Comment

The doorknob is like a tiny, fast, and nearly invulnerable shield for the door. Try to kick the door, you will hurt your foot on the knob. The damn thing has the reaction time of a paranoid fruit fly. Go to Comment

That means alot! Thanks!

(Also, the Niyotts should definitely form a partnership with these ink drinkers...imagine the possibilities...the horror...) Go to Comment

I think a "Preservation" ritual is in order...

...does it cover objects being eaten though?

(Also, thanks for the 5 star rating! It is too much. :P) Go to Comment

Oh dear, I am going to be replying to these comments all night!

Don't worry, I think exposing only a small audience to my corruption is enough for now...Mwhahahaha... Go to Comment

Just be careful. The Niyotts do not share their knowledge lightly. ;) Go to Comment

Here are five (hopefully) clarifying answers:

1. There is no documentation of a Niyott consuming anything other than paper.
2a. They rarely share at all. A reasonable Niyott could sell their knowledge for the price of more knowledge, however.
2b. Clans are held together by heritage. A Niyott knows that their the clan is helpful protection. However, the competition over knowledge is a fierce one, and they typically try to stay away from one another's territory.
3. The niyott would read it, then probably figure out how to get rid of it, or at the very least, hide it. Of course, this depends on how valuable the information is. If it is not worth the effort, the niyott does not bother.
4. I'd say about a 50/50 chance. It is quite an even battle.

Thanks for enjoying it! It makes me feel special. :3 Go to Comment

Still working on that Ink Drinker alliance. Please take a number. :P Go to Comment

Thanks. :3

(Fun fact: I originally thought about creating some kind of magic shredder for the Garage Sale from Hell. Then I thought about a pet imp in a cage. Don't ask why I combined the two. Just roll with it.) Go to Comment

They can be reasoned with. To be reasoned with reliably, not really. Go to Comment

1) And it's true!

2) Nah. Read the knowledge, feed the Ink Drinker. The book goes blank, and the knowledge is removed. The niyotts don't need to eat as much paper as they do to sustain themselves. (In fact, they only need to really eat a page a day, tops. They have just adapted so that their metabolisms are able to allow such voracious consumption.) Though, they might want to be extra careful that the ink drinkers don't devour the knowledge before they can read it, or it defeats the entire purpose. Go to Comment

I will so have to find a place for this person in my setting. Bravo! Brava! Go to Comment

Oh, I probably wouldn't have even joined without your help. So, thank you.

To those people who are wondering about a Quasi-Soul's reproductive system (you weird, weird people) I leave that up to you to create an efficient, asexual form of reproduction. (Mainly because I, myself, have no bloody clue.) Go to Comment
