The Lightbringer Series	comment	The Lightbringer Series is a series of fantasy novels by Brent Weeks, the author of The Night Angel Trilogy.The Lightbringer Series takes place in a different setting than the Night Angel Trilogy, in a world known as the Seven Satrapies. The main character of the story is a young boy named Kip, an orphan from a backwater village in a war-torn country who is suddenly thrust into an increasingly dangerous series of events upon learning that his father is actually the Prism—a widely famous and powerful religious leader, considered to be emperor of the entire world. Like Brent Weeks' other series, this one introduces a castle of fascinating and unique characters and a world that, while not as dark or gritty as the Night Angel Trilogy, still paints a unique picture of a fantasy world.The series is now complete, and consists of: The Black Prism (2010) The Blinding Knife (2012) The Broken Eye (2014) The Blood Mirror (2016) The Burning White (2019)Interestingly, the author was worried about the series, which he had planned as a trilogy, and consequently named it "The Lightbringer Series" in order to avoid Trilogy Creep.Not to be confused with Oliver Johnson's Lightbringer Trilogy, an older, entirely different series made up of The Forging of the Shadows,The Nations of the Night and The Last Star at Dawn.

The Lightbringer Series / int_10add6ee	comment	Kill the God: Gavin spends a considerable portion of The Blinding Knife searching for the blue bane before it can give birth to a Physical God. He succeeds, but then has to invoke this trope on the green bane at the book's climax. The Old Man of the Desert assigns Gavin to kill Orholam. The former spends most of the final book trying to track the latter down, but doesn't actually make any effort to actually kill him once he meets him. The final book also features Kip and Tiea fighting Abbadon. They eventually kill him by shooting him with his own gun repeatedly. Being an immortal this doesn't properly kill him, but it does permanently banish him from their world.

Then Gavin's mother's will contains instructions for her personal slave to be freed. Finally it's subverted when Teia specifically asks Kip not to free her so that they can split the money that owners get when their slaves make it into the Blackguard. Of course she only does this after he makes it clear he has no intention of taking advantage of her, and because getting into the Blackguard means you are freed from slavery.

The Lightbringer Series / int_18bf4326	comment	Anti-Magic: Drafters can't draft a color in the proximity of it's respective Bane. The Bane are Eldritch monstrosities that the office of Prism is designed to prevent from forming, and there is no other way to suppress a drafter. This means that this is a huge advantage, since warrior-drafters don't train to fight without drafting. Additionally, piercing a drafter's skin with obsidian, also known as "hellstone" or black Luxin will make them unable to draw Luxin and will also drain away any Luxin they've already packed.

The Lightbringer Series / int_19851b86	comment	The Sociopath: Several. Zymun is a textbook case — outwardly charming, lacking in anything that might be called empathy or conscience, craving constant stimulation, inflated sense of self-worth, etc. As the books go on, he loses most of the "outwardly charming" aspects. Andross Guile is ambitious, canny, and extremely intelligent, but doesn't have an ounce of empathy in his body. His complete lack of concern for others is how he's gone from being rich and powerful to being arguably the most powerful man in the world. His crimes include concealing that he's become a red wight, filicide of his youngest son, assassination, and infidelity. The only time we see his machinations fail are when he miscalculates because everyone else doesn't prioritize themselves the way he does. The Nuqaba has a very vivid taste for torture. Rumor has it that she tortured her late husband for years. Winson is a heroic version. It's said that he can make incredible, dangerous shots that no one else can make, in part because he's willing to take shots no one else would take due to the risk to himself or allies.

The Lightbringer Series / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: The Burning White explains that the Chromeria's actions have damaged the Blinding Knife by rendering its white luxin dormant; unbalanced as such, it is only capable of killing and destroying. There was a time when it was also able to grant boons to worthy drafters. Gavin restores its full functionality by drafting white luxin at the battle of Ru, probably the first time anyone's done so in centuries. This means that, when Andross is cut with it, it restores him and cures his status as a wight, rather than killing him or rendering him powerless.

The Lightbringer Series / int_208c4494	type	With Great Power Comes Great Insanity
The Lightbringer Series / int_208c4494	comment	With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: There's a limit to how much you can draft in your lifetime, and going over that limit or "breaking the halo" drives you mad and you become a color wight. Except Prisms, who don't halo at all. Gavin seems to breaks the halo in the fourth book, but he is a black luxin user rather than a typical Prism: he can absorb drafting ability by killing others, which is how he got his polychromacy in the first place. And The Colour Prince seems surprisingly rational, though the fact that he's a polychrome wight means he's likely influenced in enough different directions to have found something of an equilibrium. As of the second book: it is heavily implied that the teachings of the Chromeria emphasize the insanity aspects, and many wights go mad out of paranoia. However, a wight is a potential host for the old gods, and a bane induces madness and a lack of control in ALL nearby drafters of the associated color. The third book shows that going mad is a very real danger, since one of the Chromeria's loyal drafters is changed enough by breaking the halo to go over to the Color Prince voluntarily. Andross had gone wight before Felia's death in The Black Prism, if not earlier, yet no one suspected until it was revealed at the end of The Blinding Knife. Likewise Ferrilux a.k.a Liv Danavis and Mott both seemed changed by breaking their halos, but not insane.

Kip's mother is Tyrean, and while the nationality of the Guiles isn't elaborated on, Gavin and Dazen have red hair, implying they're much paler. As a result, Kip has tan skin and freckles, a combination that the narration notes as unusual. Corvan is stated to have the same dark-skin-and-freckles appearance, and is explicitly called a "half-breed."

The Lightbringer Series / int_25b5600	comment	Captain Ersatz: The game of Nine Kings is initially referenced as a high stakes card game akin to poker. When we learn more about it in The Blinding Knife, that comparison is replaced. Nine Kings is a strategy game where players use preconstructed decks of unique cards to execute a strategy and counteract their opponent's. Cards are based on spellcasters, soldiers, magic, and equipment, with each card divided into a color of magic. There are even different sets of cards, with new ones being created over time, and some older cards being declared heretical and banned...but still played in side formats. Anyone who's played Magic: The Gathering will spot the similarities long before Weeks acknowledges it in the Afterword. Abaddon is an immortal creature who takes the appearance of an angel, calls himself the Bringer of Light, and radiates menace. In other words, he's a pretty straight translation of Satan.

Slavery is certainly portrayed as being a fundamentally evil institution that gives power to humans that they are not capable of morally wielding, even with the best of intention (and there are many people whose intentions are far from good). At the same time, slavery is so firmly embedded in the culture and economy of the Seven Satrapies that no one is sure what abolishing it would even look like, and even the most morally high-standing of characters find themselves owning and trading in slaves.

Drafting is often physically demanding (best illustrated by all the pushing and rowing required by the Falcon in the first book). While a drafter isn't necessarily a warrior, the story's focus on the Blackguard means that most of the on-screen drafters are are in peak physical condition and are just as deadly with mundane weapons as with Magic. Occasionally a character without as much martial training (like Gavin) will lament how he's actually quite weak relative to the people around him.

The Lightbringer Series / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Blessed with Suck: Being a drafter allows a person to use magic. It guarantees a minimum standard of living which includes de facto immunity to being enslaved. The Chromerian Empire is ruled by a council of ten people (the Prism, the White, the Black, and the seven Colors), of whom only one is a non-drafter—and that office is only one of the ten who never gets a vote. The payback for all this power? It's a rare drafter who lives more than forty years, and those who break the halo earlier are strongly encouraged to be ritualistically murdered by the Prism each Sun Day. Especially true for Chi drafters, who die of radiation poisoning long before breaking the halo is a concern.

The only exception is the Black, a position traditionally held by a non-drafter...who also doesn't vote on policy, and mostly just handles logistics. However most drafters break the halo around forty, meaning that there are very few elderly drafters, and many of the most powerful people in the world are in their twenties, thirties, or even teens. There are some exceptions, like Orea Pullawr or Andross Guile, who intentionally avoid drafting to keep their halos intact. The False Prism's War was led by a teenager on both sides. Corvan Danavis was cited as a masterful general, but is only in his early forties at the start of The Black Prism, sixteen years later.

The Lightbringer Series / int_4ccd1c09	comment	Gender-Restricted Ability: Played with. Superchromacy is the ability to detect extremely subtle differences in colors, allowing much finer control of Luxin. Using the perfect shade of Luxin allows the drafter to draft objects that will persist longer than the drafter's concentration; we see this used in the Chromeria's yellow tower, Brightwater Wall, the various skimmer designs, and a green bridge outside Rekton. While not exclusively gender locked, superchromats are drastically more common among women; about 50%, compared to less than 1% of men. Kip and Dazen Guile are both exceptions as male superchromats, which isn't surprising since they're so closely related. On the flip side, there are also subchromats—drafters with partial colorblindness. This doesn't seem to matter much, as it only means that that person won't develop the ability to draft the colors they're blind to. The text mentions that subchromacy is more common among male drafters, but the only subchromat we see onscreen is Teia.

The Lightbringer Series / int_4e1d9178	comment	Tailor-Made Prison: It's Dazen's (the false one's) goal to escape one of these constructed by his brother. The prison is covered in blue luxin and the food he's given is dyed blue, which for a drafter promotes calmness and is meant to keep him sedated. There's a crisscrossing pattern of luxin in the floor that goes down several feet and blocks his drafting abilities if he tries to dig through. Dazen gets around this by slowly carving out a depression in the wall over sixteen years using his fingernails and then covering the depression with a mixture made of his hair, skin, body oils and sweat. Then he urinates on the bowl and uses light that leaked in during Dazen's (the real one's) visits so that the bowl turns yellow enough for him to see. He drafts a small amount of yellow luxin, turns it into the light needed to draft, and then seeps out the heat from the fever in his body to create a spark, which burns the bowl and manages to break through the wall. The hole leads to an obsidian-lined tunnel. Obsidian, when in perfect darkness and through an entrance in the body, seeps luxin away from a drafter so as he crawls through the tunnel, the cuts created by the sharp obsidian on his body allow it to drain away his left-over luxin. The tunnel leads to a similar green room and it turns out that there are seven rooms, one for each colour and presumably connected with their own obsidian-lined tunnels. However, real Gavin later figures out that there couldn't be seven prisons, and probably not even five. He believes that there are only 3 prisons: blue, green and yellow. The properties of superviolet and sub-red make it impossible for solid, stable rooms to be constructed from them, and it would be difficult to make ones from red and orange. Of course, all of these precautions are moot when the real Dazen kills him, upon realizing even the possibility of his brother escaping is too much of a threat. In the fourth book we learn that there are more cells, but all the cells' purpose was not what the reader was initially lead to believe.

The main Big Bad has several titles, and in the first book, the narration mostly refers to him by one of them, Lord Omnichrome, but the second mostly uses another, the Color Prince. The series has four primary viewpoint characters: Kip, Gavin, Karris, and Adrasteia, the last of whom isn't introduced until The Blinding Knife. In the audiobook version, reader Simon Vance uses a different pronunciation of "Chi" in each book. He calls it "chee" in The Broken Eye and "chai" in The Blood Mirror, before settling on the canonically correct, "kai" in The Burning White. In the first book, Gavin makes an explicit reference to "adrenaline," while in the second there is a scene that the afterword admits was hard to write precisely because people in the Seven Satrapies don't know about the existence of adrenaline. The third book seems to split the difference with references to "the battle juice" that rises in people when they're in dangerous situations.

Later, when she is far beyond Gavin's reach and her father writes him a letter begging her to come back, she still refuses, angrily dismissing it as him trying to control her. It's implied that her real motivation just boils down to injured pride at how she was treated at the Chromeria.

The Lightbringer Series / int_6114a875	comment	Lost Technology: Lucidonius was able to craft tinted spectacles for the entire spectrum some four centuries before the series started. This may have even included paryl and chi. Beyond making drafting a color dramatically easier, wearing the appropriate spectacles would allow even a non-drafter to see colors outside the visible spectrum. In modern times, the Chromeria only knows how to make spectacles of the five colors within the visible spectrum. Much later, we learn of several wonders of the pre-Lucidonian Nine Kingdoms, most of them based on drafting that the Chromeria has banned. These include long-range communication via Chi, invisibility by Paryl, and the creation of blinding knives via both black and white in tandem. The drafting of white luxin is approximately this trope, since its loss was unintentional.

The Lightbringer Series / int_61cd6e2b	type	Color-Coded Wizardry
The Lightbringer Series / int_61cd6e2b	comment	Color-Coded Wizardry: The magic system revolves around luxin, colored light given mass (using luxin is called drafting, the users are called drafters). A drafter has a subset of colors they can use, usually one, sometimes several. Each color has unique properties and limitations a drafter has to work within. Each color also has a unique influence on a user's personality while it is being used, although experienced drafters are better at controlling this. The seven colors recognized by the Chromeria are introduced in The Black Prism. They are: Superviolet: Heavily implied to be ultraviolet radiation, superviolet exists outside the normal visible spectrum. Its drafters can supernaturally narrow their pupils to see it. Superviolet is invisible to everyone but superviolet and Chi drafters, and this is where most of it's utility comes from. It's primarily used for secrecy, both sending communication and shaping it into a dome to prevent others from overhearing. Using superviolet suppresses emotion and makes the drafter more logical. Blue: Blue Luxin is strong and rigid, but brittle. It can also be used to make paste. Blue Luxin is best suited to form solid, unmoving objects—we see it used on screen mostly to build vehicles and melee weapons like swords. Drafting blue makes one more logical; it downplays emotion but doesn't eliminate it as strongly as superviolet. Green: Green Luxin is flexible and dense. It has uses in construction (we see a bridge made out of it early in the first book) and in combat is used to fling heavy balls of it around. It's ideally suited to any Luxin object that requires flexibility, including the joints of some Wights. Drafting green makes the drafter feel wild and independent. Yellow: the middle of the spectrum, yellow Luxin is malleable but fickle. It is the type of Luxin that will most easily return to light, making its use by non-superchromats limited. When drafted exactly correctly, its mix of flexibility and rigidity makes it ideal for ships and buildings, giving them room to sway in the wind without compromising structural integrity; the Yellow Tower is the only tower of the Chromeria that's Luxin all the way through. It also makes a great torch, since it converts back to light so easily. Drafting yellow makes a drafter feel balanced between logic and emotion. Orange: Orange Luxin isn't discussed in great detail. Its physical form is slippery. Orange can be used to craft Hexes, mind-altering illusions, but this is strictly forbidden by Chromeria rules. Drafting orange makes the drafter feel creative. Red: Red Luxin takes the physical form of sticky paste. It is highly flammable, limiting its use beyond that of an accelerant. It is a key component in forging grenades for use in combat. Drafting red makes the drafter feel passionate. Subred: Heavily implied to be infrared light, subred Luxin mainfests as heat. This has all the Mundane Utility one would expect, and is used in combat to hurl fireballs. Outside the visible spectrum like superviolet, subred lets the drafter open their pupils to an inhuman degree. This is subred's other combat application, as it allows drafters to pick out warm, living bodies on a backdrop of colder terrain. Drafting subred seems to make the drafter feel horny. Other colors are introduced, starting with The Blinding Knife. Note that most of these are "colors" outside the visible spectrum, but are based on real world science. Paryl is below subred, and its drafters can see both paryl and subred (making paryl drafters the only people who can see subred without necessarily being able to draft it). Paryl is powerful and versatile, if subtle. Paryl Luxin usually takes the form of a cloud or tendril. Paryl has the terrifying ability to insert small chunks into vital organs, leading to a death that superficially resembles a heart attack. With a little more skill, paryl drafters can temporarily paralyze limbs. Unlike the other colors, paryl is always available to draft as long as there is light of any kind. When a drafter opens their eyes to the degree required to draft paryl, their entire eye turns black. While in this state, the drafter can see through organic material, causing skeletons and, more importantly, concealed metal objects, to stick out. This means it's very easy for a paryl drafter to blind themself on accident from using paryl in conditions of abundant light. Paryl makes a drafter more empathetic. Chi: Above superviolet, Chi is strongly implied to be X-ray radiation (hence it's name, the Greek letter for X). Chi is held up as Black Magic, owing to what it does to its drafters. Use of Chi drafting results in radiation poisoning, making most Chi drafters infested with cancers and tumors. While no drafters are long-lived, Chi drafters in particular must Cast from Lifespan; a Chi drafter living more than fifteen years from the time they start drafting is unheard of. Chi has the expected abilities of X-rays, and is also uniquely suited to long range communication to a degree well beyond what even superviolet is capable of. Chi is a bit of a Hufflepuff House, since its drafters were hunted to extinction several centuries before the start of the series. There are no viewpoint Chi drafters, so Chi's effect on the drafter's mind isn't explicitly stated. Black: The purest Black Magic in the setting, this color has many abilities, all of them nasty. It can incite madness, create semisentient willcastings, cause Laser-Guided Amnesia, and most relevantly, steal another drafter's abilities, though this is heavily implied to be fatal to the target. In Luxin form, it sucks up magic, and will drain any packed Luxin out of a drafter whose skin is pierced by it. Gavin's long-running hallucination that his brother is still alive in the prisons he built in the Chromeria's heart is caused by this. White: It's not used enough to understand its powers beyond knowing it's both incredibly rare and is drafted when someone thinks completely about the people they care about.

Additionally, the rate of super- and subchromacy being tied to gender is based on real life differences in human vision. Females generally have better color perception, and males are more likely to be colorblind. This likely evolved as a sort of low key Disability Superpower; red-green colorblindness (the most common kind) has been shown to be advantageous in seeing through the camouflage of prey animals. Likewise, women evolved more discerning color palettes in order to differentiate between healthy and poisonous fruits and berries.

Flashbacks in The Burning White state that this is the reason that he and Felia have separate apartments, so he's actually been a red wight for as long as the reader has known him. In the First Epilogue of The Broken Eye, it's revealed that Ironfist has been a member of the Order of the Broken Eye longer than the Blackguard, and Grinwoody is the Order's leader. ''The Blood Mirror starts off early with the revelation that Marissia was the late White's granddaughter and was never technically a slave. But it's big payload was that Dazen didn't spare his brother at the battle of Sundered Rock, and any experience to the contrary is a false memory created by black Luxin.

They have outlawed a great deal of drafting and force death on those who break the halo. That said, most of the drafting they've outlawed is incredibly dangerous to the drafter and those around them, and the destruction of Wights keeps the Old Gods from being able to find mortal vessels, which would invite untold ruin. The Blood Robes recognize the humanity of Wights and are set to break the chains of the slave trade. The Color Prince is as successful as he is because he is a builder who rehabilitates the lands he conquers, not a bloodthirsty conqueror. On the other hand, he repeatedly demonstrates a willingness to throw away his followers' lives in the name of drama and petty vengeance. Which is not to mention that his scheme to become a God of Gods can be charitably described as toying with forces he doesn't understand.

Each of these techniques is incredibly dangerous to the drafter and those around them. They include: The ability to influence the minds of others via orange hexes. Usurping the control of another being's body via will-casting, which can also kill the drafter if they're not careful. Using black luxin to permanently steal another drafter's powers, drive people insane, and destroy memories. Inviting radiation poisoning with Chi. Creating invisible assassins who can kill without marks via paryl. Additionally, the rule to kill Wights on sight is because most Wights are dangerous, but also because the Old Gods a.k.a. the Djinn require a Wight to be their vessel in the Seven Satrapies.

The Lightbringer Series / int_89631688	comment	The Chosen One: Played with. The series is named for a prophesied deliverer called the Lightbringer. The first four books build up the possibility that Kip is the Lightbringer. The Burning White reveals that Andross has assumed himself to be the Lightbringer for forty years. However, several prophecies related to the Lightbringer don't seem to reference either of them, so it's possible that neither is a Chosen One. The Burning White elaborates that there have been many potential Lightbringers over the centuries, waiting for the eventual candidate who would realize the title. This explains the myriad of sometimes contradictory prophecies. In the end, the mere existence of the prophecies is a major reason they're fulfilled at all. Although Kip is the one who figures out the mirrors, and who drafts white luxin to give Dazen the coordinates, and who is personally resurrected by Orholam, Andross is the one in the position to control the mirrors, and when Dazen activates the light wells, Brings Light to the defenders. Absent the prophecies, his role would have been seen as vital, but contributory, and there would have been no discussion of him taking over everything. On a minor note, the Prism is considered the Chosen of Orholam. Gavin thinks this is a load of crap even before learning Prisms are created. The truth is a bit more complicated: Prisms used to be born, but when one of them betrayed Orholam's will they stopped appearing and needed to be made instead. Dazen being the first natural Prism in generations means he actually is chosen, at least a little.

The Lightbringer Series / int_8f0dc93c	comment	Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Drafting in general borders on, given that each person has a limited amount of drafting in their life before the become a Color Wight, basically viewed as a Fate Worse than Death. As a result there are perhaps a few dozen Drafters in the Seven Satrapies over the age of 40. Drafting luxin to modify one's body is seen as blasphemy and carries a death sentence because of its similarity to the "improvements" color wights make. Drafting certain colors, black luxin, in particular, to the extent that nearly all knowledge of it has been destroyed. Paryl and Chi are also "forbidden" in the sense that their knowledge has been suppressed. Paryl is extremely powerful in the hands of an assassin, and as a result it's use has been heavily suppressed. It isn't totally forbidden, as the Blackguard are more than happy to recruit Teia because they are one of the few Paryl drafters available and it offers a totally unique set of powers. Chi, analogous to X-Rays, causes cancer in it's drafters, shortening their lifespan even further than other forms of drafting, which was more enough for it to get banned. Will-casting is a discipline of drafting that allows a drafter to control animals. It is practiced in the hinterlands of Blood Forest and forbidden by the Chromeria. This is explicitly stated to be because Chromerian doctrine is based on protecting people from the greatest danger. Complications during willcasting can result in the person or animal biologically dead and their soul shattered into pieces. This fades eventually, but leaves the animal with two souls for a time, making them confused and often violent. Soul-casting is a step beyond will-casting, where a drafter takes control of another human being. It is explicitly denounced as Black Magic by the Chromeria and Blood Foresters alike.

The Lightbringer Series / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In The Broken Eye, Gavin finds a sympathetic guard who is torn between to oaths he swore to Gavin when he was still Dazen and to his current masters, and how it's impossible for him to uphold both. The guard laments the impossible situation. This sets up the First Epilogue, where we learn that Ironfist has done the same, swearing oaths to both the Order of the Broken Eye and the Blackguard. Teia confesses to Ironfist that she's being blackmailed. His first question is how she knows he isn't working for her blackmailer. This foreshadows The Reveal that he has been a member of the Order of the Broken Eye since before he joined the Blackguard.

The Lightbringer Series / int_9e2c893	type	Black Magic
The Lightbringer Series / int_9e2c893	comment	Will-casting is a discipline of drafting that allows a drafter to control animals. It is practiced in the hinterlands of Blood Forest and forbidden by the Chromeria. This is explicitly stated to be because Chromerian doctrine is based on protecting people from the greatest danger. Complications during willcasting can result in the person or animal biologically dead and their soul shattered into pieces. This fades eventually, but leaves the animal with two souls for a time, making them confused and often violent. Soul-casting is a step beyond will-casting, where a drafter takes control of another human being. It is explicitly denounced as Black Magic by the Chromeria and Blood Foresters alike.

The Lightbringer Series / int_9eb11fac	comment	Weak, but Skilled: Teia's whole hat. As a paryl monochrome, her abilities are unusual but powerful, although more subtle than most drafting. She's still quite capable in a fight as a blackguard trainee, but the unique skillset of paryl is incredibly valuable, particularly as an assassin. This is eventually revealed to be what got Karris into the Blackguard. Her physical condition was so far behind expectation that training nearly killed her. But her dedication and the speed at which she drafted showed the trainers that she would be worth some special attention. Being just shy of a polychrome didn't hurt.

The promachos is given near-dictatorial control of the war effort until the conflict is ended in order to make Chromerian leadership more nimble. Gavin Guile the real one was made promachos during the False Prism's War, and there was some concern about him relinquishing his power once the war was over. He ultimately surrendered his power with relatively few capitulations probably because the shrewder Dazen had assumed his identity by then. The Chromeria denies Gavin's the false one request to be elevated to promachos in order to put down King Garadul's rebellion. This leads to him being severely undersupplied in the resulting confrontation and letting a minor rebellion blossom into a major war. Andross Guile petitions to be made promachos in The Broken Eye and succeeds, mostly because he already owns most of the Spectrum.

The last two all involve him not using black luxin. The first was when the Nuqaba attempts to gouge out his eyes to the cheers of the very people he fought all these years to protect, the second when Andross, having left him alone for months in the black prison, made the decision to kill Dazen. Orholam himself considers Gavin's refusal to save himself while taking revenge on the people who've so very wronged him to be his finest moments.

The Lightbringer Series / int_b1dde8fd	type	Loophole Abuse
The Lightbringer Series / int_b1dde8fd	comment	Loophole Abuse: Kip has a tendency to do this. When he is assigned a math problem to figure out exactly how much luxin is needed to replace a broken counterweight, Kip skips the problem entirely by using luxin to repair the broken weight instead. This is also actively encouraged by the Blackguards during testing because, as one Blackguard puts in, "Blackguards don't cheat, they win". Explicit rules are strongly enforced, but loophole abuse is expected, because finding recruits who can come up with clever ways to avoid danger and keep themselves alive (while completing the mission) is a high priority. A notable example is when Kip and Teia hire a courier for a single danar to deliver the other 7 danars that were given to them so they don't have to fight an entire gauntlet of thugs after being publicly given the money. The other trainees who worked together to run the gauntlet are upset they sidestepped the challenge, but Ironfist points out that if you're charged with protecting a VIP, avoiding fights altogether is the best way to deal with the situation. Used on a much grander scale by the Two Hundred. The Immortals exist outside of time and can choose to manifest wherever and whenever they want. The catch is, there is only one timeline and it's shared by all of creation. Once an immortal is manifest, they have locked in their location during that place in time, closing themselves off to manifesting anywhere else in The Multiverse during that time. They get around this by working indirectly through a willing, mortal host. This why the old gods even existed. It seems that they can eventually wear down their mortal host, taking more and more direct control over time. It's implied that the invisible servant provided to each of the old gods is the actual Immortal in question, slowly working their way into the mortal vessel's mind.

A few minor mentions are made of things happening on other worlds, and at the end of the last book when Kip and Teia kill Abbadon, it is explicitly said that it permanently banishes him from their world. Though no explicit confirmation is given, Orholam's similar to the One God of Weeks' The Night Angel Trilogy gels perfectly with his explanation that He is the God of many worlds.

Not to mention that most of those casualties come from sixteen years of ritualistically murdering drafters, a task which he loathes beyond all others.

Kip is revealed when it means that a corrupt captain can use that knowledge to sabotage his chance at being admitted to the Blackguard. Andross let the world know he was a polychrome, but the fact that he was full spectrum isn't revealed for most of the series.

The first was when the Nuqaba attempts to gouge out his eyes to the cheers of the very people he fought all these years to protect, the second when Andross, having left him alone for months in the black prison, made the decision to kill Dazen.

Murder Sharp makes a prominent statement of "It's immortality of a sort," in The Burning White. That phrase was a set of Arc Words in the later books of The Black Company. The Black Company is often cited as the grandfather of the sort of gritty, gray and grey fantasy the series exemplifies. Quentin's name is a shout-out to the protagonist of Stephen R.

It's identified by other characters as a wonder of the world that will cement Gavin's place in history. He started it just minutes too late, with a lucky cannonball taking down the nearly-finished gate, making it irrelevant for Garriston's defense. In The Blinding Knife, Gavin, Kip, and Karris destroy the reborn god of green luxin but don't know to recover its seed crystal, meaning it will rise again in a few months. In The Broken Eye, Karris and Ironfist make a daring rescue of Gavin at the last possible moment. But they're too late to prevent one of his eyes being burnt out, his loss of his powers as Prism, and his kidnapping after the return to the Jaspers. In The Blood Mirror, Kip manages an astounding victory against a numerically superior force of Blood Robes, liberating the city of Dunvio. What to do with the city afterward becomes a millstone around his neck, with the city's needs competing for Kip's resources in the fight against the Blood Robes, already stretched thin. In The Burning White, all the protagonists band together to defend the Jaspers themselves. It's a momentous battle lasting longer than a day, but they are eventually victorious. At the cost of months of rebuilding and Kip's ability to draft.

The Lightbringer Series / int_eedee4d	comment	The Starscream: The Color Prince always intended to make a martyr out of King Garadul. Ferrilux is certain from almost the moment of her ascension that the servant she was provided with is malevolent. It's implied that this servant is the actual Old God, and is vying for control of her, its vessel. The last book implies that this is how the Djinn get around the limitation of only being able to exist in one place in all of creation at any given moment, using a proxy while the Djinn itself remains outside of time.

The Lightbringer Series / int_eff83d77	type	Mundane Utility
The Lightbringer Series / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: Drafting is used for a lot of utilitarian purposes, such as blue, green, and yellow for construction and red as a firestarter. The catch is that luxin meant to be permanent requires perfect color perception—called superchromacy in-universe—to pick the exact shade that will have the required properties without crumbling to dust when the drafter stops concentrating. Interestingly, this is drastically more common in female drafters (roughly 50% of women are superchromats, compared to less than 1% of men). At one point, a Blackguard uses subred drafting to keep a cup of coffee warm. A special award goes to the Nuqaba, who uses the orange seed crystal—foundation of a nascent Old God—as a lie detector.

The Lightbringer Series / int_f2dadf81	comment	Evil Twin: While technically not twins, Dazen to Gavin and Zymun to Kip. Subverted because Gavin is actually Dazen and Dazen is actually Gavin. And Double Subverted in that Gavin—the real Gavin—is an insecure, vengeful, self-centred Jerkass while Dazen—the fake Gavin—is a well-meaning Anti-Hero (who happens to be a Manipulative Bastard) and The Atoner for the terrible things he and his side did during the war.

The Lightbringer Series / int_f9636192	comment	Prophecies Are Always Right: Averted. The question of who is the Lightbringer—if anyone currently living—is a major plot point, particularly in The Burning White, and some of the prophecies about the Lightbringer seem mutually exclusive. Orholam eventually reveals that there never was one predestined Lightbringer, but rather many people who could become the Lightbringer by their own actions. Andross is "officially" considered the Lightbringer, but it's still not 100% clear.

The Lightbringer Series / int_fd4f8299	type	Well-Intentioned Extremist
The Lightbringer Series / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Color Prince... maybe. He tells two versions of his motivation, one (for his followers in general) that he's liberating the Seven Satrapies from the tyranny of a corrupt Chromeria, and one (to Liv) that he only cares about power (and that deep down, so does everyone else). It's unclear for much of the series which, if either, is his actual motivation. He turns out to be a megalomaniac with designs on godhood, but does believe his own hype, so a bit of both. It's explicitly and repeatedly pointed out that while he fails to offer a better alternative, he does have a point about the Chromeria's corruption.

The Lightbringer Series / int_fdad625e	type	Was Once a Man
The Lightbringer Series / int_fdad625e	comment	Was Once a Man: Soon after breaking the halo, most wights "improve" their body by replacing flesh with luxin. In some cases, it gets quite ghoulish. For example, blue wights have a tendency to replace their eyelids with transparent blue luxin. Later on, Soulcasting and its side effects are detailed. Soulcasting requires inserting part of one's soul into an animal or person, taking some degree of direct control. If the drafter dies during a soulcast—which can happen from soulcasting itself if the drafter forgets to breathe, or through outside intervention—whatever part of their soul that was in the animal can't leave. The resulting creature is confused, unable to remember which of the two souls in it is its own. This leads to confused animals "remembering" where the human's friends were and going there, only to attack them in its confusion. The prophet "Orholam" also claims that sea demons used to be gentle creatures, but were made the way they are by ancient drafter soulcasting them and leaving their souls inside after their human bodies were long since dead.

The Lightbringer Series / int_fef8bef4	type	Cast from Lifespan
The Lightbringer Series / int_fef8bef4	comment	Cast From Life Span: Played with. Drafting doesn't explicitly kill its users. Rather, as a drafter drafts, the irises of their eyes fill up with the appropriate colors. If the rings caused by drafting push past the edges of the iris, the drafter "breaks the halo," and is overcome by their color, becoming a color wight. However, the extent to which this dehumanizes the drafter is a central disagreement among the characters, with the Chromeria seeing them as insane monsters and the Blood Robes seeing them as the next stage in a drafter's communion with their color. Most drafters will break the halo around forty, though we see a few drafters in middle age, one who is elderly, and another who is barely twenty. Liv Danavis breaks the halo at eighteen on purpose. The narration highlights that bichromes and polychromes have an advantage over monochromes in that halos seem to track separately; a polychrome will usually break only one halo, meaning they can fall back on other colors if they're close to breaking one halo. Monochromes must choose between going Wight and ceasing to draft entirely. Chi drafting is a much straighter use of this trope. Chi is heavily implied to be X-ray radiation, and using it literally kills the drafter by way of radiation poisoning. One Chi drafter claims most have five to ten years of active drafting before their bodies fail.
