Sword Of Truth Magic?

from Elemental Forums

A random thought I had but wouldn't it be awesome to see stuff in elemental along the same epic vein as the magic in Sword Of Truth such as the spell towers that blocked off the old world from the new and stuff.

man, I'm still waiting for old world/new world or something like that.  Any excuse for a Mom-like world system.

Please keep Terry Goodkind as far away from Elemental as possible.

I guess I probably shouldn't mention to you that the art on the front page looks like it could be one of his books cover art then

As long as he only does the writing for the first game, there's nothing wrong with letting him near the thing.  It's sequels that the guy should never be let near...

 

Sweet, my book sold!  Hmm... what to write next.  Ooh, the same story and characters a second time through!

 

Poor Richard just keeps finding out the ultimate badguy wasn't really that bad and that there is always a more cheesy iteration after he defeats the current one.

I didn't mean let Terry do any writing for the game, just that in terms of artifacts and magically buildings and some of the spells, Elemental could do a lot worse than t have some sort of equivilant

You don't need to explain yourself.  We're just making fun of a really good writer that royally hosed an outstanding story by torturing his readers with badly done, nonsensical sequels in an ever stretching reach to absurdity.

Don't even get me started on Wheel of Time - talk about a love/hate relationship.

Belgarath is one of my favorites caraters with Zedd. They were way cool IMO.

 

But I have to admit that Belgarion could of used the orb to finish the story a lot faster.

 

But I really enjoyed reading those 10 books (at the time it was 10 small books) Silk was hilarious.

incidently the co-operative ritual magic attempted in the sword of truth could be used as a source of inspiration if they implement coop magic in elemental
