Is Tom going to go back to his home realm? His mother could go to a psychic asking about her son, the psychic would say something like 'Thomas Edward Perkinjay! I summon thee! Spirit come forth!' Or something like that. But it would mean he would hear his name and could follow the summons from the abyss... I think.

Anyway just a funny idea. Give his mom and the psychic (could be fake or real doesn't matter since all Tom needs is his name said) a heart attack seeing a demon pop out of thin air. Hilarious! Anyway since there is only one abyss it might connect to every human realm above in roughly the same way. I'm just wondering if he goes back home eventually.

Well I suppose the author wouldn't appreciate that. Lol oh well. I guess I'll just wait for a little less than a year for the next book.

Lol I thought insanity bread omniscience? Or is that reversed? Lol actually now that I think about it, if someone became omniscient I think they would probably go insane from to much info.

OH....puh lease....

I hope you aren't buying this "I'm really omniscient cause I'm crazy" crap from Tizzy?

This demon is a known faker. A fraud! A scoundrel! No one seriously thinks he's sentient let alone omniscient!

L.

Hahahahaha

I wouldn't mind Tom dropping back home, its likely he'll be able to go seeing as how The Abyss is built like New York City so therefore there still must be a connection to it. However, Tom's world is Astlan now, if he went back it'd only be I'd imagine to say bye to his mother.

Actually I wonder if Demons would be trapped and what would happen if they went to earth. From what I gather, earth is an extremely low in mana, perhaps non-existant realm, making magic nearly impossible as well as making it difficult for any 'magical' species to survive there. Since Tom no longer has a physical body, only a magical construct of a sort, I imagine it wouldn't survive long on earth... or perhaps he'd be trapped there unless he had enough energy to cross back.

An here I thought Tizzy has already made it to Tom's Earth as a seller of drugs to Reggie. They both have that pipe thing going.

Clearly Tom has some grand scheme in place as no demons in the abyss no of his existence, and it is quite difficult to hide a IV from an immortal populace for so long. He has a son who is also a IV that looks just like him, but smaller. This shows that he is clearly a being of great power and foresight . He must be purposefully trying to deceive other into thinking him a newcomer, but he shows an aptitude for making physical gates into Astlan, and stole mana from a God . At least that is what others will think. Tom's overwhelming lack of any real plan or ideas of what to do other than study to be a better animage, survive, screw Lenamore, and alleviate boredom will leave everybody trying to counter a large butterfly of chaos without any direction what so ever . Remember it is very hard to predict the actions of somebody without any real definitive foundation or goal . No will be able to stop him from reaching his destination beyond the next hill.

Beyond the next hill was just a way of saying he just keeps moving with no end in sight.
....anywho
I'm not an expert, but the Abyss lacks food for humans, and gods in general, so how will Talarius survive?
I also think it will be nice to see his view of black and white broken. Nothing is ever black & white, but it is always various shades of grey.

If humans can be torture for centuries in the abyss it must be better for their health than i thought. I always assumed that heat, constant terror, torture, and lack of food would lead to death.
Also was the 21st school of the animage mind control, if so then is it similar to possession, extreme persuasion, or is it kinda like these are not the fugitives you are looking for, with a hand wave and an apology for disruption to innocent travelers?

It can be used for possession like things and possibly true possession, but also a lot of other things, triggers, compulsions and memory alteration etc.

Think of some of the nastiest things that either a bad Deryni might do (See Katherine Kurtz) or the sort of mental manipulation that Jack Chalker might do to people.

But again, like the 21st Discipline, those authors are just writing fiction. Doesn't really exist. And if you ever found out that it existed, you would shortly forget that it existed and realize that it could never have existed and that you'd just been joking around trying to scare people.

Of course, you know that deities tend to have a lock on reincarnation...

So that means that a deity still operating on Earth would have to be involved, at least as a co-conspirator...

Actually, I'll have to check on that...I know clerics have a "forced" reincarnation spell. Not sure if the wizards have figured that out.

If they have...then it might not take a deity...although how a wizard would have the power to make a reincarnation work on Earth is not clear...the deity answer would be more plausible.
