Why wouldn't an omnipotent being be able to make him/herself omniscient?  Isn't the concept of omnipotence limitless power?

Ooh, erm... tangent much?

Yeah?  I drink metal flakes.

Isn't it implyed near the end that Preservation needed a person created by Ruin and Preservation together in order to attack Ruin at the end? if not, wouldn't Preservation just do what Vin did thousands of years ago?

There'd be no point if nobody else existed to pick up both powers at once. Ruin might be enticed to kill them both under certain conditions, but for Preservation, killing Ruin without someone to take their places would be unthinkable.

Even the use of the powers must be preserved.

I like that logic.

I think it would be better if you were using Alcatraz quotes in an established conversation of some sort, but not with the awkward "Hey look, I'm quoting Alcatraz" part.  Make it work in the conversation.  Ah, that level of finesse would show one's mastery of the matter, would it not?

Miyabi explained it to me that the doubling due to lerasium is permanent.

At least that's the way EUOL made it sound.

That's the way that would make the most sense, in my opinion.  Lerasium is permanent in the first dose, so why wouldn't the boost in the second be permanent?  If not, you just got duralumin version 2.

Well well, you'll have an ally in me on this venture.

I have no doubt it's going to be well worth the wait.

I just wish I didn't have to, haha.  Lucky for me, I have plenty to read and write to pass the time.

We also have been told that the Dark One wants to destroy the Wheel and rebuild it to suit his desires.  I feel that if the Wheel is destroyed, the Pattern has to go along with it.  The Wheel weaves the Pattern, after all.  No Pattern = no world.  I think the Dark One is wanting to hit the Cosmic Reset Button, thus the lives of his followers in the current incarnation of Existence is trivial.  And I think the only person that has stopped to think about it all the way or been told the intention is Moridin.  It's what he's been saying all along, that everyone is just a pawn to the Dark One, and he is Nae'blis, after all.  I'd figure he'd have a bit more insight into it all.
