is balance generally an important mechanic in cradle magic systems?
Will Wight
I’m not sure how to respond to the balance question, because I don’t know what you mean by balance. Me balancing the Paths so they’re all roughly on the same level? The Paths keeping their madra in balance? Balancing different factions?
TransEmo
more like a general yin yang type deal. like destruction aura but no creation, is that a oddity and most things have an opposite to compliment?
Will Wight
I had a balance element to Cradle for a while, but I ditched it for (meta answer incoming) being more philosophical than fun.

If lindon had to choose between a sword, an ax , a mace, a flail, a staff, or a bow, which would he choose?
Will Wight
Procrastination brings me around Discord-way. As always. If Lindon has to choose between the above, he would probably choose the mace. It requires the least training to use effectively: hit person with thing.

What's Yerin's ideal date?
Will Wight
Okay: Yerin wouldn’t know. She wouldn’t even really be able to answer. She would need some time dating in order to figure it out and get over the “wait a second, why aren’t we training?” culture shock.
Chris646
You’ve said that Sha Miara counters/controls other people’s skills. Would this work as well with pure madra or could someone sufficiently powerful just disperse everything she does?
Will Wight
Her powers would work against pure madra. However, not absolutely.
Kidpen
Which characters do you think would turn out the best in fanart form, out of curiosity?
Will Wight
Orthos. No joke. He’s the easiest and most vivid to illustrate as described.
Kandra
If Yerin and Lindon started dating, what kind of relationship advice would Eithan give? xD
Will Wight
He would tell them to develop their friendship first, and to make sure they have the same priorities and are fully committed to one another, because they have a long way to go together. His goal is far.

Do any iterations not have a way of ascending?
Will Wight
Asylum does not. It’s locked.
Kandra
It's like [Eithan]'s been in a relationship before...
Will Wight
Eithan screws around a lot, but his WIS is pretty high. In fact, he’s one of those “I rolled six 18s; what now, DM?” kind of guys.
He has been in at least one serious relationship before, I can say that much.
Your Benevolent Dictator
Eithan as a D&D character would piss off a DM
Will Wight
Frankly, I’ve never found overpowered characters to be a problem unless the players are in high school.
Because if it’s about the story, weak characters are just as interesting.
MountainKing
I want Lindon to develop a forger/striker technique that creates like a shield or a blade that disrupts techniques.
Will Wight
I’m still gradually deciding what techniques Lindon will end up with. I have a lot of possibilities.
Kandra
Eithan's maturity levels are about as high as a 15 year old's
Will Wight
Eh, Eithan has some immature tendencies. But don’t we all?
Kandra
Does the part of the Blackflame Empire they're in experience seasons?
Will Wight
It does, but they’re sucky seasons. Summer is hot and dry, winter is cold and dry, and autumn is dead and dry. But they also move around a lot.
Arch
What would a monarch level piece of equipment/weapon be like, seeing as a monarch level binding would be virtually unheard of, would it be dozens of interlocking herald bindings, or maybe something touched by the way?
Will Wight
A Monarch level piece of equipment would indeed touch on powers beyond Cradle.
Lil' Blue
Would anyone in Cradle have powers that mimic Za Warudo?
Will Wight
No, no time freezing on Cradle. After Cradle, sure.

What is the place with the helpful hardware folks?
Will Wight
My torture chamber.

Thoughts on smash?
Will Wight
My thoughts are: "Why am I not playing Smash right now?"
For real though, I feel like they should have done this concept last time around. Putting everyone on the roster just makes sense; Smash doesn't have to be balanced, as long as there are a few competitively viable people. Why NOT have a massive roster?
I'm excited. Smash Bros is one of my secret joys.
(Jk, it's not secret.)
Lil' Blue
Are you happy for the slow hurricane season?
Will Wight
I'm always happy when I don't have to clean debris out of my yard, but I do wish it wasn't eighty degrees here today. In mid-November.
Lil' Blue
Wen Broly Dadmon?
Will Wight
I'm going to call it The Dadmon Chronicles.
Arch
How old are Akura Malice, Reigan Shen, Northstrider and the Dragon Monarch?
Will Wight
Northstrider is older than Reigan Shen, who is older than Malice. The dragon Monarch Sesh is oldest of them all.
Tievel
Who wins: Suriel vs Kirby
Will Wight
Kirby, hands-down. The power he gets from absorbing Suriel is just too busted.
