I noticed things on poetry and art. BUT NOT BOOKS?!?!?!?! What is society coming to?! Well then. If there are any short stories or anything you wanna put on here, POST IT. If there is an actual BOOK like a few hundred pages, go to inkpop.com and post it there. Here you can also pop a few book ideas around and share it with whoever actually decides to read and it and or comment. Alright! Ta-Ta For Now! - Mitsuki/ MoonFairy
not necessarily because after a certain point, they were exhausted
Well there's that, but more interesting were the philosophical conundrums: you can't will somebody to not exist, or you'll destroy yourself. I'm well aware that there are limitations but all too often the use of the magic just seemed all "too easy".
storm was begarath not pol and it was because he was trying to stop a war between the mimbrates and the asturians
Is that a different storm you were talking about- the one in which they were trying to knock down the bridges and the river flooded, eventually leading to a truce between the two after Mandorallen saved whatshisface... I think the one I was referring to was a few books down the line, but it's been over a decade since I read these.

You also have to remember, that there were times that they couldn't do this because other will users would sense you right off the bat, which was one of the more annoying things about it, if you wanted to be sneaky no will.

Oh yes, now I remember the time when Garion was learning how to control the will and was helping Pol create a barrier to deflect the... can't remember their name trying to probe them (like pinging with sonar), and when they got pinged Pol bombed the hell out of the guy's mind and made him jump off a cliff.
Perhaps it's simply been too long since I read those books.
maybe...I recently starting rereading them plus got my hands on a copy of the Rivan Codex which was simply amazing. They we're creating a barrier because the guy was torturing durnik is that what you're talking about?
The Rivan Codex... I forget, but wasn't that the book written from Pol's perspective? The incident is mentioned in the Belgariad series as well, but in a 3rd person voice from Garion's perspective.
Speaking of book writing . . . I am now on like my fifth novel project, lol. M other 4 are unfinished . . . too bad I can't combine them all in one >_>
Oh well, good practice at building a longer story arc, I suppose.

No, its actually more like a treatise on Aloria and Angrak it goes into background history, highlight some of the battles, even has Authors notes from Eddings on how the story was developed it was quite amazing.
What matters is how finished/unfinished they are. If you can't get past at least the first third without revising it, I'd say that doesn't really count!
