Does the Entity exist?
« Reply #90 on: August 11, 2005, 04:23:59 pm »
Well, I'm just as much as a novelist as you are. I'd just like to think of it as a passion, not a hobby. I hope to have that as a side job (You know, work at something, write in my free time, then publish it), and all this is merely practice for me. In two years I might very well complete Enderon, but in ten years from now I'll probably completely rewrite it!

I don't think we should bother talking about evolution just yet.  I have seen all the arguing coming from things such as "how come humans took so long to learn magic whereas monsters that make their first appearances in 12,000 BC (i.e. Mud Imp) learn magic by 600 AD?"

Those things will probably be tackled in the magic article being composed.  Or should be, maybe I'll throw my 2 cents in over there.

Well, most of the magic using humans who were innates were taken out in the fall of Zeal. The Mystics never had a population crisis like that.

That might not necessarily explain it though.  Zeal wiped out most of its inhabitants, but not all.  There were some people still roaming around, and didn't they state that they're magic was gone due to not being around the Mammon Machine anymore?  So really, humans never really DID learn magic.  

(I might be mixing up a few diferent things here).

Only the regular Zealians lost thier power, because they relied soley on the mammon machine for thier magic. Dalton still kept his magic, and the group certainly never needed the mammon machine for thier power.

Yeah well we can't count the group because they learned their magic from Spekkio some 13,000 years later.  And when I say humans didn't really learn magic, I mean in general, as a whole.  Only a select few did.

To be even more technical, it was way more than 13,000 years, since it was at the End of Time.

I was just wondering, since it comes up every now and then, how the monsters became mystics, not how they kept their powers because I understand the difference between them and the circumstances in Zeal.

Is the End of Time really the EoT?  I never really thought it as a particular time period, I kind of thought it was just separate.  Like I never thought it was, ok right now its 4,000 A.D., next year its the EoT.

Yeah it can't actually be a year.  Time is infinite.  The EoT is just a spot outside time to view everything that happens.

That makes me believe its not a point in time just a place outside it.  Basically, exactly what Gaspar said.

Well, apparently there is an End of Time. Since, it's the End of Time o.o;; Granted, time goes on forever, and the End of Time is labelled with an infinity symbol, but since Gaspar and Spekkio are there, it's obviously a point in time. Y'know, since you accessed with a Time Gate n'all.

Gate's aren't neccessary "GATES". They can be "WARPS". The End of Time is where everything is still in the environment. Only someone else being there (like Gaspar) can judge if there is time or not. If he builds that whole little island, then in his mind, it may take like 1 month of what 1 month was back in Zeal.

What is the End of Time? Let's ask Gaspar...

Quote from: Gaspar
When 4 or more beings step
   into a time warp, the Conservation
   of Time theorem states that they
   will turn up...

   ...at the space-time coordinates of
   least resistance.
   Here (the End of Time).

What better place for the time-space continuum to be weakest but where time ends?

The Beyond Time article has the best definition of it.
