Title: Which do you think is the most powerful?
Post by: Idozen Cair on December 06, 2010, 07:51:02 AM
Well, I've suddenly came up with this: Among all these powers we see in books and movies every day, which is the most powerful?
Personally, I would choose Psy abilities. I think this is beacuse I like the game series. Pretty lame reason eh? :D Please feel free to give out your reasons and such.

Add magic from the Inheritance series, and the Dresden Files.

I'd say that ordinary weilders of the powers from the Dresden Files and the Inheritance Series would have a toss up, it'd be pretty even. However, the archangels, Sidhe Queens, and other super beings of the Dresden Files are incredibly powerful.
However, its a silly question, as any author can say something like "And this guy is the MOST AWESOMEST MAGE THING EVER! He could kick the crud out of ANYBODY!"

If my TRPG2 Hero beats Nelis solo, Hero > Nelis.

Nelis > Most everything. "Prepare to perish in fire!"?

Eragon is the first book in the Inheritence Sequence (I still can't believe that Brisingr could have been bigger had he not made it four books instead of just three) and follows the story of a boy and his dragon as they attempt to overthrow the evil King Galbatorix (also a Dragon Rider) with the aid of the Varden (Freedom fighters attempting to dethrone the mad king) using both supernatural speed, strength, and sight as well as magic that is channeled through the Ancient Language in which words don't just describe an aspect of the thing (fire as an example) but rather the word IS the thing (so Brisingr IS fire). And you'll have to ask Mike about the Dresden files. My parents won't let me read them because they claim it gets too graphic in ways inappropriate for a fourteen year old.

Ah! Eragon! I know that. The dragon series, right?

Yes; the dragon series.

At any rate, just about any fantasy series (and sometimes science fiction) has an awesomely powerful figure within it. I, for one, vote for the Unbeliever, and his White Gold.

On your current list, probably the god's . . . god powers . . . from Percy Jackson.

Definately true. For the most part, it would be okay for you to read, but then there are parts where it gets either very graphic or sexual that you shouldn't read. Just a warning to anybody young looking to read those books.

But yeah, im too lazy to write a description right now, so Read the First Paragraph or two of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dresden_Files)
