Patron Q&A and Question for Patrons

lol, I wish!

Lightning makes Fire and Air a little easier, but not much. It is still very difficult and will only grow harder as he progresses.

Sia gets a very small amount of Aiden's Affinities, which makes it significantly more likely that he will evolve, and makes him stronger without evolving. Without any pills or special materials, Sia would evolve when Aiden reached Complete Core, though that will be sped up. With Aiden increasing the density of his Aether, Sia's Aether was mixed and reached the same density, increasing his strength significantly. (He's one of the strongest of his level now).

When is a Netflix Series coming out for these books? Would be awesome, really hope 1 day your hooks get made into a show or movie

And now y'all see my real reason for doing this! Finding all the stuff I missed/messed up so I can address it. Or getting cool ideas for powers. Or just worldbuilding. Thanks for all y'all's awesome questions

They will be able to give powders to the Bonds with minor changes to the recipe. Librarian Narwan will talk to them about it soon-ish, after they finish processing their rewards from Captain Svik.

Gravity is a mix of Water, Earth, and Metal, with a heavy emphasis on Metal. Spatial is probably more Air and Lightning, with some Darkness in there too (so need to use Cores from Darkness Beasts). Teleportation I'd think would be the Spatial mix with Ice added to metaphorically freeze your position and then move the space around you. I'll try to include more Inscription stuff for getting points. Inscriptionists make the Formation plates that take Aether from Cores, create the equivalent to freezers, fridges, and stoves, and create single, powerful attacks. They tend to have problems making enough merit points to start just because everyone focuses on the attacks (Its cool!) but they aren't strong enough at the start to be worthwhile. Bridget is going to surprise everyone soon with some new Inscriptions that'll be helpful.

That does sound like a cool ability! Maybe it'll show up in the tournament. I'm always open to ideas about cool stuff. Just cause Aiden is the MC doesn't mean that other people haven't had their share of lucky encounters.

Will Aiden be able to give the affinity powders to Sia? I know he asked one of the consolers in book 3 about it and she told him she would let him know if they were safe. If they aren't safe maybe he could make a version for Sia?

What aether do the gravity, spatial, and teleportation inscriptions use? I'd also enjoy seeing more explanations about inscriptions in the book, how someone would make a living off it in school similar to how Aiden lived off alchemy, and how much can be accomplished with pure aether, and where beast ingredients would be needed.

Will you introduce a character that can pull the aither out of the attacks? Like if a fire blast is sent at them they just absorb it instead. That would be a cool ability for someone or like a special power only Aiden or another hero has.

I'm curious about Aiden's body tempering. Right now he working on lightning element and when he decides to do the other elements it will be easier for him to finish tempering?

I have a few comments on that - while not knowing, of course. Since this is written in 1st person that means that what Aiden doesn't see, he doesn't know. It has been abused a few times, esp with the fight outside Azyl when everyone for some reason knew what was happening (Sia, for example, knew about the Perfect Body attacker at the academy while not being there). Also, a few of the other happenings in Condensation relies on information suddenly being available when it shouldn't have been (how did they know about the horde, how were the people called there, and so on). There are issues with 1st person view in books - you can only know what the MC sees. There's a few violations of that here, to say the least :)

Did the beast hoards stop or go down after they destroyed the dungeon?

Librarian Narwan took them to examine and hasn't given them back yet. Enough other stuff happened that they've slipped Aiden's mind. He'll give them back fairly soon (he's waiting for them to advance to Circulation)

So, most authors are unsure about it. The general consensus is that we get the most income from Amazon if you read it on KU, then wait 30 days before purchasing. If you purchase within 30 days, we suspect (its not spelled out) that they subtract the KU reads out again.

What happened to the cores they got from the dungeon that were unaligned aether?

I have a question about how amazon works with KU and buying books. For future books would you get more from Amazon if we waited till it was out on KU, read it on KU then bought it or do they just subtract that out?

They also mention Sia being able to sense 'all these elements' at the bonding, yet when they co-gather (when linked) Sia apparently still have no access to these .. I'd expect that to slowly change. Not to be presumptuous, of course :)

Micke Andersson

Book 2 and 3 both talk about the benefits to Sia. Basically he gets more aether when bonded as it increases his gathering speed.

I'd like to know what benefits does Aiden provide to sia

Barre Cowen

I’m so excited that it’s coming early! 👏🏻👏🏻

Lol for me I like surprises ... no spoilers

Eeekkkk

Since no one else has asked questions yet, I have some. How many books do you have planed for the series? What stage is Narwan at? Is Narwan going to bond a beast at some point? When do we find out more about the calamity that caused humanity to flee? And does Sia evolve to an elemental zarorozel before Aiden matches him in level (and hopefully in the next book)? Are Aiden and friends going to get more of the Aether tattoos (if so, before the tournament)?
