  Thanks for the shoutout man! Spellweavers are hands down (all six of them) in my top 5 favourite monsters. Excellent video!

  I have to say I'm always a pretty huge fan of the whole "they're so advanced we can't understand them and we're so primitive they can't understand us" idea. Sure the lore makes it perfectly clear they can communicate to beings on our level fairly easily, but I love the idea of, say: Even if they sincerely want to communicate with a us, it's every bit like us trying to communicate with a dog or cat. Possible, yes, but very challenging and requiring a lot of cooperation between both parties.

  I wonder if the obsession with the number six is based on the elder things from HP Lovecraft and their obsession with the number five.

  When it comes to depicting the strangeness of Spell Weaver magic, technology, gadgets, do-dads, and all that stuff, <b>Numenera</b> sounds like the absolute perfect place to draw inspiration from. It&apos;s an entire setting based on the idea of quite literally countless incomprehensibly ancient and mindbogglingly advanced civilizations having risen and fallen and risen and fallen literal geologic eons before the setting&apos;s present day, with nearly every single one leaving behind utterly bizarre technologies that may as well be indistinguishable from magic and which make the most sophisticated technologies we will have five hundred years from now look like flintknapping by comparison.<br><br>So, yeah, long story short: Lots of weird old shit that would fit right in with these guys.

  The power they have to restructure reality reminds me of Truename Magic. If only it had been implemented better than what it was. I think it would be very flavorful and appropriate for them to use Truenames to alter reality. They are a very interesting race.

  If you believe NASA, the only reason we can&apos;t normally make glass as strong as steel or even stronger is because of the presence of water in our atmosphere, And how hard it is to remove from any glass when forging it, But if we were to attempt to make glass On the moon or somewhere else that doesn&apos;t have much water, According to NASA we could make glass as strong or stronger than steel.

  That overwhelming telepathic Blast from trying to read their mind would be completely useless against a psionic character empty mind is a pretty useful ability so is split mind

  I did a dragon magazine prompt with this. <br><br>Thanks to a natural one. The spellweavers managed to complete The Code Of Reversion. It was quite memorable as tens of thousands of years was undone.<br><br>Dead Silence then the guy tosses his die into the trash can XD

  So basically Spell-weavers + Tharizdun + Mindflayers is a bad bad bad day for the multiverse.

  A meeting between the Spell Weavers and the Mind Flayers would be an interesting one...
