SoulCatcher78:
Thanks Iago *big hetero man hugs to you*
Shandra:
Italicized portion is most relevant.
Discipline:
It took Molly better than twenty minutes to focus her mind for the comparatively simple spell. Focus of intention, of will, is intreral to any use of magic. I'd drawn myself up to focus power so often and for so long that I only had to actually make a conscious effort to do it when a spell was particularly complex, dangerous, or when I thought it wise to be slow and cautious. Most of the time, it took me less tahn a second to gather up my will-- which is critical in any situation where speed is a factor. White Night, pg 24.
mikeryan:
Empathy is my favorite SotC skill, so I feel compelled to take a stab at a quote.
--- Quote from: iago on April 17, 2007, 09:01:23 PM ---[/li][li] Empathy: This is mostly taken care of -- but in Storm Front, when Harry's on the phone with the chauffeur lady, he does a number of Empathy-like things, and that's glaringly missing. I'd love it if someone could hit this one.
--- End quote ---
I didn't see anything when he was on the phone with her (she shut him down too quickly), but during their face-to-face there were a bunch.
1. Storm Front (CH 10 page 127)
"She took another drag, and this time I saw a small shake to her fingers, one she quickly hid. Just not quickly enough. She was nervous. Nervous enough to be shaking, and now I could see what she was up to. She was wearing the alley-cat mask, appealing to my glands instead of my brain, and trying to distract me with it, trying to keep me from finding something out."
2. Storm Front (CH 10 page 128)
"I'm not inhuman. I can be distracted by a pretty face, or body, like any other youngish man. Linda Randall was damned good at playing the part. But I do not like to be made the fool.
So, Miss Sex Goddess. What are you hiding?"
3. Storm Front (CH 10 page 128)
"Her eyes were roving about now, nervous, like a cat who has found herself shut into a closed room."
4. Storm Front (CH 10 page 129)
"She pressed her lips together and shook her head. She shook her head and she lied as lied to me as she did it. I was sure of it. She was closing in, tightening up, and if there was nothing she could tell me, she wouldn't be trying to hide it."
And a Discipline one:
Storm Front (page 127)
"Her expression promised to show me things that you don't talk about with other people, if I would give her half a chance. Your job, Harry. Think about your job."
Slife:
Got it! Thanks, Iago.
