Then Lung kills Butcher xvii becoming XVIII. Massive infighting occurs, causing many to die.

Weaver cleans up the mess, becoming Butcher C.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Butcher C is the 100th Butcher...

And yeah, with Cherish's power, Contessa's power, Lung's power, Skitter's power, Glaistig's power (including Eidolon's and many others), plus the powers of the first 14 Butchers, I'd say Skitter would be unstoppable.

On the other hand, with the minds of...17 insane people/psychopaths/insane psychopaths, plus whatever Contessa is after harboring all of those minds, Taylor would probably be insane.

I want to read these books now. You said it's called Worm?

I take it that when you say "massive infighting occurs", and "Weaver cleans up the mess", about 80 people become "the butcher" in this time period?
From what I gather from what you're saying, killing "the butcher" makes YOU into "the butcher", giving you all the powers and memories of all previous butchers. Like a combination of Halo Reach's Juggernaught (best playmode ever) and The Avatar (Last Airbender and Legend of Kora)?
Wouldn't this make any Butcher past the 5th or so nigh unkillable and immortal? So how is there a 15th already?

Would it be theoretically possible for a Butcher to die of old age, and NOT pass on his abilities and memories to a new Butcher?

Each butcher only gets a shadow of the previous butchers' powers.

HTML fail. Might want to fix that, if it's a spoiler.

Ciro: Drink Self.

[Empiricist]

Currently in the case of the 'drink self' idea, it is: 5 for, 2 against.

Ciro: Drink Ciro bottle.

... Dwarven ciro, switch positions with the spirit, keeping the bottle where it is.

After an amazing Force of Reason came out against smashing the soul star, the original suggestion was nulled.

Theoretically? Yes. In practice? No. Especially since

Spoiler: Minor? Spoilers (click to show/hide)

the current Butcher is Cherish, who is on life support in the bottom of Brockton Bay. If she survived

Spoiler: MAJOR SPOILER (click to show/hide)

Scion attacking that part of America,

Spoiler: Back to minor? spoilers (click to show/hide)

then she will probably survive thousands to tens of thousands of years, minimum.

Not really. Now, if (say) Taylor got a shadow of all of the Butchers' powers, that would be a spoiler, but it isn't a spoiler any more than Eidolon only being able to use three or four powers at once is a spoiler.


Oh, and I don't remember if I weighed in or not, but...

[LordSlowpoke]

you're doing it WRONG

Ciro: Forcefeed Ciro bottle to Magelord.

this will feed raw ciro into the spirit and either make it flip the fuck out, turn into bloodmage!spirit (making it useless) or magically tame it (fuck if i know how that'd work)

[Dariush]

bloodmage!spirit

Rather offtopic, but where does this X!Y terminology come from? I seem to come upon it more and more often lately.

As I understand it, it started in fanfic as a means of differentiating fic characters from the real ones. Deatheater!Ron Weasley vs Canon!Ron or whatever. I don't read fanfic, but I guess it's gone memetic by now. It does seem pretty convenient, in any case.

[Vgray]

I think the first time I saw that was on tvtropes. In fanfic recs obviously.
