Sample Chapters on TOR
The_Sibelis:
I think I'm starting to get an idea of what he might do with the placard, (click to show/hide) maybe he makes everyone forget this thing happened afterwards? Like a big spell?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Jim has said that Clash of the Titans influenced him enormously, and now the Fomor have Released The Kraken.
Note Tor are redirecting everyone to their website this time.

I presume Kraken are mortal and sentient, hence a soul gaze. Harry could probably soul gaze a chimp, gorilla or dolphin, but not a dog (Mouse isn’t mortal) or a cat (Mister would win any staring contest though, and Harry would end up having to open a tin of tuna, having lost a battle of wills because well, cat.)
Lots of real fires in Chicago, perfect for keeping away the Outsiders.
Molly has control of weather and sharks, does anyone else find that ominous? She also knew Harry had gone to the island.

It depends on your definition of soul. I think it is a bit fuzzy sometimes and the difference between soul and spirit is not always clearly drawn in all uses of the word.
I think something like a soul gaze is theoretically possible with a lot of creatures and you might see something.

Yeah, but that happens at the end of the movie. Perseus has already taken Medusa's head and had Pegasus to ride upon, so in the end it really wasn't even a fair fight since he pretty swiftly turns the kracken into stone.
--- Quote ---I guess. Maybe I'm not reading enough into that, it just seemed an odd line to have, if there weren't immediate consequences backing it up.

What I found odd is Harry began to feel "better" about the situation and actually was reluctant to pull away from the soul gaze. So the question then becomes did the kracken have Harry mesmerized? What were the Fomor learning from him? He was clearly learning something from the kracken about the Fomor though it might not yet be clear to him.
--- Quote ---Yup. Although I thought he took two of the weapons off-island. We only get to hear about the knife ...

Yeah, but we know about it, I think he may have mentioned the Knife because of the two it is the more powerful. Notice though, he doesn't even mention either to Murphy least someone/something like Andriel is listening in. I also wonder why he didn't try more fire power on the kracken before he got tossed in the drink nullifying his magic.

Yeah, but question becomes, do you want to see into some creatures? Take a skinwalker like Shaggy for example, I imagine a soul gaze is possible with him, but considering what just seeing him
with his wizard's sight did to Harry, a soul gaze could possibly kill.

--- Quote from: ClintACK on September 01, 2020, 06:13:49 PM ---So... (click to show/hide)kraken have souls? That's unexpected. Everything we've seen so far with a soul has been human or a scion, right?
Is a kraken a half-outsider?? Because obscenely writhing tentacles amid broken columns and ancient statues of things that seem to bend themselves into more than three dimensions? That's Lovecraft territory right there. Also very disturbing.
What are the spoiler rules for sample chapters, anyway?
--- End quote ---
There's every chance it was one of the paranetters that was grabbed. Or it could have been a scion as you said.
