This one....
I stream on Twitch, YouTube, FaceBook, and Twitter. I have no pre-planned schedule for which site I will go live on. I do NOT multi-stream on multiple sites at once, so if I am live on one, I am not live on the other 3. (The FaceBook one will say "Video Unavailable" when not live.)
NOTE: Chat is set to emote only on my Twitch channel and my personal contact information has been removed from my website and every place else, due to the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of false reports of "information", along with vile hateful memes about the murder of my family being sent to me by trolls who think mocking the murder of my family is funny.
FBI Agent Andy Drewer out of the Portland, Maine FBI office is in charge of the of the April 10, 2015 kidnapping of my 12 children by 14 Ku Klux Klan men who invaded our home and the subsequent May 15, 2015 murder of 10 of the 12 whom had their heads nailed to my front door. If you have information about the case, give it to him not me. He can be reached @ +1-(207)-774-9322
Vanilla Avallac'h vs Modded Avallac'h
If you are Mormon, Mason, Jewish, or Zoroastrian, take a close look at his gambeson and see what you see. If you are Mormon, Mason, Jewish, or Zoroastrian, you'll see it and you'll know exactly what it means. On the other hand if you are a Gentile or an Infidel, you won't have a clue.
>>Both images on the left from May 2018, the 1st Avallac'h Playthrough
Vanilla Avallac'h has black hair and eyebrows turned grey, and has an appalling LOD of 5 and draw distance of 7, and has no hairworks effects, no wind effects, and while his 3d model & texture files have wrinkles, scars, bruises, bug bites, moles, and veins, you can't see them on the vanilla settings.
Also while Avallac'h's clothen had a RedCloth file, it had very low grade settings/pollies causing the details of the cloth weave, seam stitches, and embroidery to be blurry.
Vanilla Avallac'h has pupils that react to light, like all other characters in the game.
>>Both images on the right from September 15, 2020, the 3rd Avallac'h Playthrough
Modded Avallac'h has a 5,000 LOD and draw distance, resulting in wrinkles, scars, bruises, bug bites, moles, and veins on his skin can now be seen. This also revealed that he has a fine scar down the side of his nose and one over his eyebrow, both were not visible at all with the vanilla LOD settings.
Hairworks and wind effects have been added to his hair.
While we are talking about his hair... notice that he wears payot. If you don't know what payot are or why a man would have them... Google will help you. It brands him as Hasidic.
His hair and eyebrows are changed to blond (as described in the novels), his skin has been lightened several shades (again to match novel descriptions), and he has new texture files for his eyes to make them pale ice aquamarine with pink pupils, as described in the novels.
Modded Avallac'h has pupils that are frozen into tiny pinpricks and never grow or retract with light changes, matching the information we were told about him having suffered severe nerve damage which caused him to have tiny frozen pupils that did not react to light.
Because the file which changes a character's pupils, is NOT connected to their eye file, but rather is connected to their shadow file and changes not only the size and shape of pupils in different lights, it also changes the shadows on their face, and changes the intensity of their makeup.
The result of changing this file, is that shadows on Avallac'h's face are now fainter and his vanilla very dark eyeshadow is now many shades much lighter.
This results in a bright highlight on his cheekbones, making them much paler, and has caused an illusion that his cheekbones are even sharper than before, even though no change was made to his 3D model bone structure... i is simply a result of less shadow below his cheekbones with brighter highlight over them, and fewer shadows around his eyes.
I increased the depth of Avallac'h's RedCloth file (edited the 3D model to make ridged details a deeper depth) and increased settings/pollies causing the details of the cloth weave, seam stitches, and embroidery to be much sharper and more noticable, making the cloth look more real.
And speaking of the cloth looking more real... if you are a Gentile or an Infidel, you won't have a clue what it was I mentioned earlier, so let me point it out... on the beast of his gambeson, right over the nipple, there are slash marks that are stitched into a very specific pattern/design... this marks Avallac'h as a very high ranking priest, one who has access to the deepest, inner circles of the Temple, on par with The Levite in the Bible, it also tells us that he is a virgin and living celibate lifestyle because of his religious rank.
On their own, the slash marks do not identify a specific religion, but one of 5 religions. However, that, with the payot, and the fact that he covers his head when going outside, brands him as a Hasidic Jew.
We further know that in the novels, ALL Elves are Jewish, and the masque of the Elves during the Human invasion, was an outright retelling of the Holocaust, and Avallac'h spoke an ancient dialect of Hebrew and was unable to understand most Humans as he spoke none of the common tongues.
Raise your hand if you ACTUALLY KNOW what Manna is? Sephiroth? Sackcloth and ashes? Golems? The Tree of Life? The Pentagram? Tzitzit? Are you able to explain ANY of those things and what they are, when you encounter them in quests in the game?
Can you explain WHY Geralt meditates on a prayer rug facing East?
Explain to me WHY after her grandmother dies, Ciri shreds her cloths, starts wearing sackcloth, and rolls her golden blond hair in ashes to turn it into dreadlocks, resulting her becoming known as "the ashen haired maid"?
When the game shows you Avallac'h naked in Kaer Morhen, can you read the Hebrew writing tattoo across his chest and abdomen? Do you know what the symbols on his tattoos mean?
After having watched more than 5,000 playthroughs of Witcher 3 on Twitch, I'm continually amazed at how few people ever recognize the plethora of openly Jewish characters and miss the HUNDREDS of Holocaust reference easter eggs that flood every segment of the game.
And now that the books are becoming popular, after 40 years of being ignored by the bulk of society... it likewise amazes me, how many people are so clueless about the Holocaust and what happened to the Jews in Poland, that they read the Witcher novels with blind eyes, and completely miss that the Gnomes and Elves are blatantly Jewish, while the Humans are blatantly Nazi, and the mass murder of millions of Jewish Gnomes and Elves at the hands of their Nazi Human invaders, is an outright retelling of the events of real world history.... of that happened just 80 years ago.
Our world is in a pitiful state if the so recent mass murder of 20 million is so easily forgotten, so soon.
If you know nothing about the Holocaust, you REALLY shouldn't play this game or read the novels it was based on, because you'll completely miss the message they send. It'll go right over your head.
Spend a year or two doing some massive research into the Holocaust, especially what happened in Poland, and THEN play the game and read the novels, and THEN remember that the author who created this: was a Polish Jew who as a small child, saw his friends and family murdered, and then you'll understand why he wrote what he wrote.

Please be aware that nearly every page on this website contains spoilers to something. I talk about a lot of fandoms, and go into great detail analyzing them when I do. If I am talking about The Witcher series, InuYasha, Disney Ducks, the Quaraun series, or any other fandom, you WILL encounter spoilers about it.
Do any of you have any sort of power-scaling in your works? If so, how do you handle it? from r/writing
Do any of you have any sort of power-scaling in your works? If so, how do you handle it?
I have a sort of "system" that gets tossed around in character dialogue but is never fully explained, and other characters get confused when they hear it, and they'll ask, and the explanations leave them even more confused.
Basically there is no "real" system, but characters think there is, and the populations of the world have developed conspiracy theories around what that system may or may not be.
Doing it this way, allows me to never fully write what the system is and allows me to have variations of the system mentioned, depending on which character is talking to which conspiracy theorist.
In the end, all the characters end up confused and no one really knows what the rankings of the power system actually is.
And if that confused you, basically the system goes like this:
The main character (Quaraun) holds the title of the world's most powerful wizard (currently), but no one really knows how or why he came by that title and he himself doesn't know why people call him that as he does not himself think that he is the most powerful wizard.
Previously however a wizard named Gibedon held the title of world's most powerful wizard.
Before Gibedon held that title, it was held by King Gwallmaiic.
Before King Gwallmaiic it was held by wizard known only as The Ghoul.
The Ghoul was King Gwallmaiic's advisor. But he got too powerful and got banished into a Hell dimension and the portal sealed up so he couldn't escape. Thus the title went from The Ghoul to King Gwallmaiic, as Gwallmaiic defeated the Ghoul.
Gibedon replaced The Ghoul as King Gwallmaiic's advisor, thus took over the title. The two also became lovers.
While Gibedon was out of the country, Quaraun became King Gwallmaiic's lover.
Upon his return, Gibedon discovered the King's new lover, had a fit and tried to kill both the King and his lover. The King ends up seriously wounded. In trying to pull the knife out of Gibedon's hand, to stop Gibedon from killing the King, Quaraun accidentally stabs and kills Gibedon.
With Gibedon dead, the title once again goes back to the King. However, a few weeks later the King dies from the infection caused by his wounds, leaving Quaraun heartbroken at the death of his lover. Quaraun becomes a Necromancer to resurrect the King as a Lich.
Having killed former title holder Gibedon (without using magic to do so) and having resurrected former title holder King Gwallmaiic, Quaraun now gets the title slapped on him.
In actual scale of use of magic it makes no real sense at all, but for the sake of the actual plot, it makes perfect sense in the minds of the simple tavern folk who used conspiracy theories to come up with the whole thing.
In the end, the title of world's most powerful wizard, is more something bards weave into tavern songs, then actual scale of power/skill the individual magic caster actually possess.
I wrote it that way to make sence in the minds of the people in taverns who listen to bards, rather then have it actually make sense to the powers the wizards actually had.
In terms of actual magical ability:
King Gwallmaiic way out powers the other wizards in terms of sheer skill, because he is also a 3,000 year old Faerie that has had many centuries to build that skill.
The Ghoul's son GhoulSpawn, (who is never given the title at all) actually is physically the most powerful wizard in terms of ability to harness energy; this being because he is a Demon and is able to withstand the side effects of spell casting, which other races can not.
In terms of psychic ability, being able to control the elements/weather, and possessing a hive mind telepathy that allows him to gather up armies of plants and animals (with bloodthirsty rose bushes strangling people with thorny vines and trees uprooting and marching across the field to do battle for him), that ability goes to Quaraun, who rightly holds the title of world's most powerful wizard, after he calls up quartz crystals to do battle for him in The Battle of Ongadada, where crystals come to life and embed themselves in every living being, killing 31 billion people across 3 solar systems in less then 30 seconds, by turning them into quartz statues. Quaraun is a wish granting DiJinn, and whenever he wants something to happen, simply says: "I wish...." and it happens immediately. In the case of the Battle of Ongadada he wished the world would die, and seconds later it did.
However, none of these things are taken into consideration for the actual title of World's Most Powerful Wizard. And Quaraun simply has the title because he killed Gibedon and resurrected Gwallmaiic, which is a completely illogical reason for him to have the title, considering the things his is capable of, but such is the logic of the tavern bards who wrote the songs and came up with the title.
Basically, the wizards themselves do not use a scaling system, nor do they care about such things. And the only people who do care about such things are the people who sit around taverns getting drunk and listening to tavern bards. The bards then make up the titles, tossing the titles at random on whatever wizard best fits the song/story they are singing/telling to the crowd. The crowd folk later retell the stories to their families who tell their friends, and sooner or later the story/song will get back to the wizard who'll be clueless as to who slapped him with the title or why.
I particularly like to have the wizards be in tavern scenes, where they are sitting in the crowd, listening to the bard, and the bard is clueless to the fact that the wizard he is weaving tales about is right there listening to him do it. The wizard will be there having a drink with his friends and suddenly be like: "OMG! He's talking about me? But I didn't do that!"
I kind of use it more to show how rumours get spread about the wizards, because usually the stuff bards attribute to the wizards are not things the wizard ever actually did.
So, yeah, like I said, not exactly a system of power scaling, but, it's some sort of a system, one that works with the plot in question at least. :P
>>As one example, water powers might be lame in your world, but that could still be exactly the right power for fighting a peak superhero whose power is fire.
Yes. This is a good example.
I use what is known as "kitchen sink magic" in my universe. So like Wile E Coyote dropping a piano on your head, or an anvil falling out of the sky for no reason, anything can and does happen in terms of magic.
Wizards are also not impervious to their own spells, so a Wizard casting a fireball, better damned sure know what he's doing and do it right, otherwise he'll be a crispy fried Wizard himself.
Having a Wizard cast "Wall of Fire" or "Fire Burst", and another Wizard counter cast "Bucket of Water Over Head of Wizard" is exactly the sort of thing you'd see happen in a Wizard's duel in my books, or rather "Grand Piano Full of Pink Lemonade Over Head of Wizard" if BoomFuzzy was casting it (because he's a trickster Faerie).
>>Power over plants?
As mentioned in my other post, my main character has this. He's a Necromancer who faints at the sight of blood, can't stomach dead bodies, and runs off puking his guts out at the sight of a corpse. He can however turn a dead oak tree in the forest into a Tree-Ent style battle zombie unlike anything you've never seen, and resurrect dead cut long stem roses into an army of flesh eating blossoms every little shop of horrors would be proud to have.
Soldiers often laugh at him being a Necromancer who "only resurrects dead flowers" but they sure as hell ain't laughing when a dead redwood tree marches across the battlefield and stomps them to death under it's roots.
>>Talks with fish?
All of the Thullids possess the ability to talk to sea creatures.
>>Weather control?
All three of the primary character wizards have some form, of weather control, but it varies.
Unicorn, for example can call up massive storms: hurricanes, blizzards, and typhoons, but more simple weather changes seem to be lost on him. Or perhaps he is simply bored with them?
Quaraun has the ability to call down lightening and can channel it through his body directing it at others. In essence he can shoot lightning bolts. He is able to capture lightning in a bottle or a wand and release it at a later time as well. People live in mortal terror of his Rainbow Wand because he has lightning bolts stored in it.
Quaraun once is seen calling up a tornado.
GhoulSpawn, is able to harness the heat from the sun and direct it into people burning their insides.
The Crystal Elves have the ability to freeze anything or any one and harness snow and ice storms.
>>Who would really hate to fight those superheros, or where would be a bad idea to fight them?
I find it interesting that you thought in terms of superheros for this. I would not have. I think of magic systems and my mind goes immediately to Wizards.
So while you were thinking super powers I was thinking magic users.
Interesting, because I had never thought of super powers in conjunction to magic before, but when you stop and think about it, what are Wizards really, but the superheros and super villains of the past?
>>I would try to have fun with creative power matches in this kind of story.
This is why I like to write the wild whack a doodle Wizards I write... because it is just danged fun to try to come up with wild crazy shit for them to pull on each other, then see what the other one will do to counter it.
I mean, BoomFuzzy is a Chaotic Candy Wizard who lives in a gingerbread house, and tosses vampire marshmallow bunnies into battlefields. Quaraun has his undead roses, and GhoulSpawn, baffles people with his pockets full of sheep. How do you determine who is the more powerful Wizard when one of them is tossing undead roses around and the other is putting out fires with eggnog? None of it makes sense, but who cares, because it's just plain fun to write.
I think that's the most important part of anything you write: to have fun writing it.
NOTE: The scenes and chapters featured here, are from the unedited first drafts, and NOT from the finished published novels. This was done because many readers had asked to see what the first drafts looked like to see how different they were from the finished product. Because these are from the unedited first drafts, they contain spelling and grammar errors, typos, and sections that are still unrevised. These errors are corrected in the final published editions.
