last_herald_mage Hello everybody :)
I am a new convert of this trilogy :D
Despite some anger towards the Author, I admit I am hooked to the characters (mostly to Vanyel and Stefen). I would like to write something about it, but since my interest in reading further works on Valdemar is rather low (She DID angered me <.<'), and I need some informations before writing, I am making some questions^^
1. About the Vrondi-net. How does it work, exactly? O.o I mean, sort of air-elemental who spy on mage inside Valdemar, ok. All the mages who aren't Heralds? Or all the mages who came from outside Valdemar?
2. About the magic. As far as I can see, there is no way that somebody born with the mage-gift(s) to learn how to use it without guide, not only that but they are *always* unusable if not "untapped". Correct? °-°
Thank you all for your help!^^
(Yes, the fic I wish to write is, to begin with, a short story centered about the Vrondi-net. I DO feel it was a lot an Orwellian measure and quite a dark thing to do, and I would like to explore on that^^)
Also, I want to thank Theme who pointed me there ^^ My thanks!
(I apologize for any mistake, I am Italian^^)

Date: 2012-11-29 08:23 am (UTC)The point is, if you would be a young would-be-mage, with powers you don't understand and can barely control (whenever your gift is "naturally" awaken or awaken after a trauma) and you started to feel watched, and everybody had forgotten that what you can do is possible to do...
Well. For me, that is one good definition of "nightmare".
And I don't buy for one moment that in some far-away village people haven't stone to death young would-be-mages in the 500 years between Vanyel and the next mage. People are people are people, Heralds might be Heroes, but the people of Valdemar are not all saints ò.ò
