Lope Nieves asked Richard Raley:

hey fan from Venezuela, sorry for my English i have serie question: 1. i know that king Henry have iron fist, what similar ability have the other types Mancer. 2. are we going to see badass intra, ona who know Martial art or expert in gun. 3. What different have Intra Floromancy and Faunamancy with and ultra. 4. how work pool and conjuration Faunamancy and Necromancy. 5. we going to see POV how work other mancy?

Richard Raley Sorry I took so long! Been so focused on writing I haven't logged into Goodreads in forever!

1. They all have their little tricks, but I try to keep them from overlapping, so nothing exactly like the iron fist conjuration that I can think of. Though a number of the other disciplines are able to manipulate their own bodies as well. Floromancers are very difficult to intoxicate or poison for example.

2. I think Conan Sapa qualifies for that. Also ESLEDs strike teams are completely adept with firearms. However, I try to focus on magic and not on real world weaponry when it comes to combat since I'm much more interested in the Fantasy than the Urban when it comes to this series.

3. In addition to just generally being stronger/faster/etc, Faunamancer Ultras are able to enhance animals in certain ways I haven't got into yet, while Intras can only communicate and befriend animals. Ultra floromancers can do the same and also the speed at which they can force growth on a plant is extremely higher than an Intra.

4. They focus on using anima on preparing their companion (animal or a Construct) mostly prior to any sort of action. Forming necro-strings with a Construct or opening up communication with your animal does take some anima however, but it lasts for a long while after the connection is made.

5. Check out some of the shorts or King Henry and the Three Little Trips. Some of that in there, the Eva Reti story Shadow Running talks about sciomancer and how she uses it for example.
