My mom (teaches middle school math and high school ap physics) told me this was funny so I’m glad someone other than me thinks so

also Simon being there is now very ingrained into my subconscious bloodymary4life ig

Happy Birthday, @naffeclipse!

Well yes, it's already been foreshadowed in the books!

They are used a number of times and despite the fair amount of information regarding them we get; It still feels like too little is know about them.

Like, what abilities can be placed on a charm? Is it only the abilities and skills of the various pathways that can be used in a moment? Can a marionettist's ability to control spirit body threads be made into a charm? (tbh i say no).

To make the charms, you also are required to pray to a corresponding diety. However there are lacking deities for a number of domains, so how does that process work there? Can anyone with beyonder characteristics pray to their spirituality to make charms, or can only those with divinity (so sequence 4 and above) pray and be prayed to?

Charms also don't seem to be limited by shape or size. Do charms need to a specific shape or size?

Also, can anyone utalize charms or only beyonders? Can someone who has learned to harness their spirituality, to the point they can extend it, use charms?

There are also the various bullets that are used as well, and I do believe they basically function as charms without the need for incantations. Some of these questions could also be attributed to the amulets and beyonder weapons that are mentioned. I feel like all of these are so under utilized. Amulets were only really a volume 1 thing, beyonder weapons existed in volume 2 onward but stopped showing up after the axe became to dmged. They kinda reappear in book 2 but thats a separate matter due to how they are made.

I wish there was a little more on how this systen works because it is honestly really cool.
