However you look at it, in these books "power" tends to be an expression of the essential nature of the person or being whose power it is. On those occasions when we've seen Foul act directly, he seems to exert the withering force of pure scorn. imho, that's pretty intense. And it has interesting implications for the Creator. Not to mention for "The Last Chronicles."
I TOLD YOU SO!!!

What do you mean? I don't remember discussing this. Did you talk about this with someone in chat?
Yes, Fire, you're very smart.

It's from the 'gradual interview' section of SRD's website, Damelon.

Does that mean if I cultivate my scorn for people, I can be as cool as Lord Foul? Mmmm, the possibilities!!
