Hm, sounds interesting. And what do you plan to do with the magnetic-vision glasses once you've made them?

Use them, I suppose.

Fridge Horror: attempting to build something without bothering about applications

So I assume you are trying to construct for the sake of constructing them?

Magnetic-vision glasses do sound cool though.

Yes.

I got the idea from The Fair Folk in Lords and Ladies. They cannot stand touching iron because it disrupts their magnetic senses.

Interesting. That's one of the many books you've been reading, am I right?

The fourth one, if I am not mistaken. What it does is make stories about fairies (and elves) a bit more believable in that the purpose of cold iron (magnetic objects) was completely to blind the creatures.

I like fictional books. I'm just extremely picky with them.

If you look in enough literature examples on TVTropes, you will probably notice that the Discworld series *-verts various tropes extremely frequently. This is a basis for the first book in the Science of Discworld series, in which wizards create a spherical world (which is a surprise given the Disc-world) without narrativium (the stuff that allows a protagonist to win against several antagonists and burning wheels to roll from crashed carts despite definite absences of fire) after having split the thaum.

Of course, the difficult part is reading the books in order.

Is it a coincidence that I was just thinking about TVTropes the moment before I saw your post?

Anyhow, I feel... quite confused.

The Discworld even has books for postal offices, the opera, theater, soccer, and various other topics.

Confusion: (more/less)?

Uh, a little less, I guess.

That's a lot of novels in that Discworld series.

Where's my Cow is not a novel, however.

And The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is more of a horror story than the average book in the series.

The books in the series have very interesting titles.

I'll be away for now. My brother wants Jamba Juice.
