Bendalloy Misting

Gold Misting

Voting ended onApr 25, 2025

Bendalloy Mistings, also called Sliders, can speed up time in a bubble around themselves, allowing anyone in the bubble to move and react supernaturally fast. The borders of the bubble have an interesting effect, causing bullets to deflect slightly on impact. Bendalloy is a Temporal External Pushing metal, the counterpart to Cadmium.

Gold Mistings, also called Augurs, can see into their own past. Visual representations of themselves appear, looking how they might have looked had things gone differently in their past. Gold is a Temporal Internal Pulling metal, the counterpart to Electrum.

gnoll augur and her vulture.

augurs train their birds (usually a species called the magpie vulture) to follow herds and identify sickly members, or other suitable prey items. theyre associated with good fortune, and in some circles its believed their birds can identify and predict sickness or good health in people, too.

Exauguratio

The act of changing a sacred thing into a profane one, or of taking away from it the sacred character which it had received by inauguratio, consecratio, or dedicatio. Such an act was performed by the augurs, and never without consulting the pleasure of the gods, by augurium.

Augur Cain

Cain | An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

Described as:

pale skin, red eyes, 5'10,11 stones

“You are an ember in the ashes, [...]. You will spark and burn, ravage and destroy. You cannot change it. You cannot stop it.”

I am very curious as to how others picture the Augurs. I definitely see him as a creepy old man. I even picture them surrounded by mist all the time, just for the extra creep factor.

And Cain has the most amazing quotes in the whole series, obviously because he’s an Augur, and I had a hard time picking which one to go for. So, I went with the classic line that embodies the whole of the first novel. Bleeped out who he was referring to so no spoilers.

Laia, Elias, and Helene are already posted in my page! Please check them out.

Uhhh so anyway this augur appeared to me in my neighborhood the other day and now I need one of you tumblr witches to break it down and let me know how much time I have left?? Or how much money is about to come my way???

Reluctant prognosticator Clyde Bruckman (the great Peter Boyle) is stymied, not so much by the pitfalls inevitably bound and fettered to foretelling future events, but by the Official Title of a certain music festival. Afterward, a "chance" encounter with an "inconspicuous" man foreshadows a great deal of homicidal activity to come. Season 3, episode 4 of The X-Files.

Clyde Bruckman demonstrates that his brand of augury does not necessarily extend to winning the lottery, prompting Existential (of the rhetorical persuasion...) queries, and despair. Mulder (David Duchovny) is then set straight about other matters.

Peter Boyle, with a brilliant performance as Clyde Bruckman, reluctant sage/soothsayer, not only quasi-uncannily detects the authorship of a newly received missive, but (politely) passes along the author's (polite) greetings to the FBI agents at hand: Scully (Gillian Anderson), and the aforementioned Mulder (David Duchovny). Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose, 1995.
