May i direct you to the ending credits of the 1st story, morningstar ?

Annabel, the Sapphire Witch, Witch of Doubt Thalassa, the Crimson Witch, Witch of Secrets ????????, the Opal Sorcerer, Witch of Promises

I tried to label it so others can understand, but it isn't exactly straightforward (I moved a lot of stuff around to make it clearer).

Spoiler for What I've got

We still need 3 names and two colours.

If you found something that I've missed, feel free to add it.

Spoiler for Missed edit time

Adding Potok's info from above...

Thalassa == the Crimson Witch == Witch of Secrets
???????? == the Opal Sorcerer == Witch of Promises

Those could be our last two colours.... and probably is.

An obvious observation, then, is that Shin was the Apprentice who became the Opal Sorcerer. What happens to Esper?

EDIT: Actually...it could be asked "What happens to the Opal Sorcerer if such a one exists?"

EDIT2: It's hard to follow the tenses of the verbs while not knowing an exact timeline. =P

Can witches die...?

Can witches die...?

I actually considered that (see my edits for the second post [#43] above).

[flamebirde]

oops, sorry. didn't see the edit.

oops, sorry. didn't see the edit.

No worries, it's great that we're thinking of the same possibilities.

Spoiler for however,

look at the bottom of the first page. It says "ESPER, the Crimson Apprentice, Witch of Hope. (It's the one with the feather.)

Spoiler for I'm with Potok

We're obviously dealing with two different times. In one, both are apprentices. In the other, Shin has become the Opal Sorcerer. Esper hasn't yet become the Crimson Witch. The general conclusion is one of the following:

1. The Opal Sorcerer who preceded Shin died, allowing him to become the full Sorcerer (this is based on the assumption that Shin is the Opal Sorcerer/Witch of Promises that Potok linked to).
2. Thalassa, who is alive in both the present and the future, has not died. Esper remains the Crimson Apprentice until Thalassa dies (or perhaps relinquishes the position--I don't know Witch's politics in their entirety--I'm just taking a crash course.)
3. Both of the above.

If both of the above are correct, our two missing colours in the WHEEL are Crimson and Opal (for the full-fledged Witch and Sorcerer in the present). Crimson could immediately be applied to Thalassa and another would be placed.

Have you tried the 'code' format? Originally intended (I think) for computer code so that you could keep the relevant indents, it has a fixed width font

And it looks like this.
Notice the 'i' and 'm' are the same width as the other characters.

Edit - Oh, and you can select More Reply Options, in the bottom right, then Preview Post before finalising.
