Sense-Grafting ideas.
Offensive Grafting: Sense grafting can now be used on targets other than the caster. Unwilling targets will resist. Success and duration is determined by Intuition.^and that's all I got. More abilities that modify the way it works, and Mutations are welcome, because the Skill is probably about to level up.
New cover ideas, 4~6 month delays.
Before I sit me down to work, I wanna fish for ideas for a poll.I'm approaching the top of the artist's queue again, the same one who did the first cover, and I'd like to have a well-crafted idea of the cover's composition before we get started in a few months.I'm looking for ideas for posing on a cover that shows some or all of the primary characters of WotR. (Kala, Ella, Calv...
Chapter 211: Pow, Right in the Cultural Identity
***20 years ago***Maren sat on his father’s lap, kicking his heels against the man’s shins as they watched the setting sun turn the distant mountain bright red.This was one of those rare moments when the busy man had even a moment to spare for his offspring, and Maren was a little bitter that it took the form of a lecture.“You see that mountain, Maren?” The king asked.“Of course I see it...
Chapter 47: Paddywack
***Calvins breath caught in his lungs. He knew what was going to happen next: the creature would rush toward him with unnatural smoothness, and its razor sharp legs would reduce him to quivering chunks of bloody meat. The sheer panicked adrenaline saw him fumbling into his belt, drawing the Jerrytanium knife and flicking it forward faster than he could think.Shaping.10/12 Bent Remaining.You-...
Chapter 210: Planetary, intergalactic
Garth stood on the teleportation pad designed after a certain nonspecific space exploration TV series, and touched his communicator, which gave a welcoming doodle. It made Garth feel like he was a kid again, and no one else knew the difference, so why not?Scotty, beam us to the surface where we can bust a prime directive all over their faces.Alicia leaned into his periphery with a frown. Wha...

Genosian Language Poll
Language barrier: May coach user's thoughts in Genosian or any other language they are fluent in, typically whichever is more poorly understood by the enemy, making Mind reading/controlling magic significantly less effective unless they are fluent in all languages the user is.Exotic accent: The user may flawlessly adopt a Genosian accent which lends an air of exotic mystery. Applies the Genosi...
Fishing Poll

Chapter 209: Intergalactic, Planetary
And if youll look to your left, youll see the Mythic core bin, where the priceless unsprouted dungeon cores are collected as they keep tumbling in through our Receiving Portal.Garth pointed to a big dumpster looking thing where Cores were rolling in at the rate of about one every hour or two. The bottom of the massive dumpter was filled with cores.Garth took a page from his own book and used...
WotR Chapter 45: Recovery
Nadia lay in bed staring at the embroidered ceiling.Nadia was a cripple.She couldnt move her hands and her legs were practically worthless. Grant said her legs would likely recover, but her hands would never be the same.The enormity of what the bastard had done to her was starting to sink in.She was done.Finished.Her political career was finished. The cardinal sin in politics was to appear weak,...
Chapter 208: Pit Stop
Caitlyn sat there, face covered in a thin layer of dust, staring at the airfoil in front of her. Theyd created models that worked perfectly well, using a thin ring of synthetic Core around the front edge that pulled wind backward, propelling the model forward, but scaling it up was becoming difficult. The amount of propulsion that worked for the model was nowhere near enough for the scaled up ve...
Next summon Poll
So there were a ton of suggestions, and if I didn't add yours, I apologize. some things didn't fit great, or I found them OP/Unappealing. I also need to keep the voting block relatively clean, so I'm trying to narrow the field down to basic categories.the suggestions boiled down to:something with hands for cheap laborsomething that burrows for land superioritySlimes/slimy thingssnakesa...

WotR Chapter 44: Maximum Capacity
Can I help you with something? Calvin asked, looking up at the sword flyer guy.The fool seeks to beg for the princess back, Little does he know-oh shit!Calvins monologue was interrupted by dozens of pieces of cutlery flashing out of the sky and clamping down around his own and tearing it out of his hands and Nadias mouth.Grant! Nadia said, a strange tone of frustration in her voice. L...
Chapter 207: Deep-space Mining for Dummies
Holy shit. Ooooh, my god.. Garth groaned, throwing his head back.Garth! Bel shouted as she barged into his room.Garth yelped and drew the covers over himself with a howl, causing Bel to halt in the doorway, frowning at him.Yes? he fixed her with an accusing glare designed to stop the deitys avatar in place and hopefully prevent her from asking any questions. At all.We matched spe...
WotR Chapter 43: Promises
Grant started awake to the sound of screams and the buzzing of insects, that hed recently come to associate with being on or near the wall.Horrible pain, like being stabbed, lanced through his exposed skin as a wasp stung him.Fu- he rolled off the cot, the thing creaking from his enormous weight, grabbing his spare sword from beneath the bed.Blade came up in his hand, separating from the she...

Chapter 205: U.S.S. Fertility
Garth skimmed across the surface of the dungeon floor, not even bothering to move his legs, carried along by a column of mana as he shot down the tunnel. He snatched one of the ornate helmets for his brainmeats on the way out, settling it as he ripped through the air.Hunters went down the southwest tunnel this morning, about six hours ago, so they should already have been on their way home.After f...

Chapter 41: Your Princess is in Another Castle
Warp overflow detected Running Warp Protection System Break.Calvin winced as he allowed the medic to bandage his torso under the watchful eye of General Andra, whod returned hours ago. The bucktoothed girl kept glancing nervously at the general every couple seconds or so, clearly uncomfortable having her work supervised by the leader of the entire army.Youve got some blank spots, she sa...

Share damage with summons. (possibly crossing over to it's child skill.) Keep in mind, I always wanted Chained spirit's abilities to be more utility-based than Calvinian summoning.^doesn'...
WotR Fifth Break Theorycrafting
I think I calculated that his next Break would go entirely to his base stats if he had his way, but of course we can never let the main character have what they want without performing an amusing dance for us.I want to get Body to 10 to unlock some higher tier mutations and abilities, but some of the points meant to go into Mind could probably be spent elsewhere.so as for the theorycrafting, What ...
Chapter 204: Backlash
Garth slammed the scrying shut with all the intensity of someone opening a refrigerator full of severed heads. It didnt help.Black fire flooded through the mirror, and Garth was propelled through the air, the small of his back slamming against his stone workbench before he was flipped over and hit the side of his little hut hard enough to send splinters erupting out around him like a strange hal...
