Question time! Because Toby trivia is fun.

It's been a while since we've done this, and with A Red-Rose Chain coming up, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.

Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.

Game on!

Every time a new book comes out, I reread the series. After the last couple of rereads, I thought "gee, I should make a list of characters and the scent of their magic. Bonus points if it's written up with known lineage information." Any chance you have such a thing on hand to share?

I'm hoping this counts as a question about the world, because I want to see how things are related. I'll certainly understand if it counts as a question about people, and the answer is that I should just suck it up and write it out during my next reread.

Maybe a better way of phrasing this would have been "how does scent work in relation to magic? How does the smell of someone's magic relate to their lineage, how does it relate to their character, how does it relate to what they can actually do magically, and how serious do things have to be for it to change?"
