[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 2710221, member: 141"] I like the pictures a lot! Having a "church window" is a nice touch. I have a question about items and creatures made out of Orichalcum. Wouldn't they be so heavy that normal floors would be unable to support them? If someone has an orichalcum suit of armor, wouldn't they sink into the soil like a normal person sinks into snow? Unless they have anti-gravity properties, that is. I was thinking about the omnimentals you mention in the bestiary. In a sense people are omnimentals; we breath (air), drink and have liquids flowing inside us (water), produce body heat (fire) and are basically solid, especially our bones (earth). So I think that omnimentals should be basically humanoid in form. To emphasize the "body" aspect of them, as opposed to the intellectual and spiritual, they should lack a head. Eyes and mouth and so on could be on their torso. Kinda like a four armed star fish. The lack of a head would give them a "fourness" suited for a creature made from the four elements, while people have a "fiveness" to them (think of the human form drawn in a pentacle). As for color, your suggestion that they should be black (maybe an oily black) sounds good. As you say, all colors mixed together make black. And it's an appropriate color for the eldest omnimental whose common name is "Sin." I still don't like the esoteric name, but I can't think of a better alternative. The greek work for sin is "hamartia" but that doesn't sound right. [/QUOTE]
