Actual personality faults and a freaking Orange ring. Of course he's going to treat anyone with different perspectives as needing correction. Everyone should want things to be the way OL wants them to be.

So, I'm feeling lazy. Can someone remind me what this spear thing does again? Thanks.

what about if you use a magic using thermovore as a converter? also i now have the mental image of paul burning up his soul to either get more power in a emergency or as a fuck you to a black lantern.Orange rings can convert the energies of its fellows among the emotional spectrum and magic, heat is not the same as magic or part of the emotional spectrum, even if Red Lanterns really like setting fires.
i would put a few parallel universes in the way as well just to be safe, also wasn't there something about souls being sucked out if it got to much stronger? because
if Nabu doesn't want to give up the body then there's more then one way to gut a system, i wonder what Eris would think of using soul stealing magic to save someone.

As a lantern, that might be something you could look into after your year is up
A house-sized Spell Eater isn't too unwieldy - strap some antigravity and cloaking tech to it, and for any encounter with a hostile super-magician that can be solved by ranged options and doesn't require you to venture personally into the dark and dismal depths or through a tiny portal, you can ride around on your Magic Suppression Fortress in impunity.
Then again, it might run up against random laws against flying a personal aircraft and noise pollution from all the cackling at the feeble magicians as their vaunted powers fail against your magnificence.

Is it the absorbed magic being the basis of it that's the problem? Because other than that, Jack O' Lantern's fairy lantern does more than that- flying, fire projection (maybe other forms of energy too, I'm not sure), teleportation, enhanced strength and durability, and fog generation.
Sure, its a gift from a sidhe queen, but all things being equal, I wouldn't expect a gift to a poor Irish farmer to be a one of a kind cannot be duplicated artifact of her people.

The One Above All.
Maybe it's me, but I don't get what having Hitler is supposed to do for the Nazi cause in a 21st century Earth with superheroes.
There is no Nazi industrial base anymore to really equip a Nazi army capable of actual large scale action and no large scale Nazi army either. There are fanatics and idiots wearing SS t shirts or something, but you can hardly achieve world domination with that.
Plus Paul said Hitler didn't actually care for Wolf Krieger because relying on one wizard for Germany's defense was a problem, but Krieger could actually produce results. Also Hitler's going to be 70 plus years behind the times in every way that matters to a military endeavor.
Plus Hitler was a micro manager and thought he was more of a strategist than he really was.
So I guess he's a mascot maybe? I mean an actual verifiable inkling of Hitler being alive would bring down a world of shit, Paul was not going to mention in the written report that even a clone of Hitler exists for that reason.

Why? I mean, you've still got to actually put the spells on the thing manually and there's no way you could automate that sort of production. The SI mostly wants Sephtian working on things that can benefit lots of people, not just producing awesome stuff for him.As a lantern, that might be something you could look into after your year is up
It's more that a single conjured lightning bolt (created by magic but not inherantly magical itself) could wreck it.
Not a character I'm really familiar with.
So you can't add technological forcefields or armouring without interrupting its effects?

Also the drug habit. Really cannot forget the drug habit. The man was forgetting which parts of his army still existed near the end.
My best guess is that resurrecting Hitler is part of some insane plan to try and make Captain Nazi's crazypants claim about being the New God of German National Socialism become real... somehow.

The SI doesn't know. But you're certainly be looking at diminishing returns making something that big and complicated.

I would think starting out with a discussion about clones, and how they are basically artificial twin brother, and nature vs nurture would work out better
And now I'm picturing Sephitan building a room-sized Spell Eater to serve as Aquababy's nursery, or a panic room, or an emergency fallback position.
From what I understand about Faraday cages, spells cast inside a Spell Eater warded room ought to function normally since that's how microwave ovens operate. Otherwise it'd be stupid to lock yourself in an anti-magic null void room.
And speaking of anti-assassination defenses, the R&D done to give Mister Siskins a body might be used as the basis for golem guardians, physically shielding Aquababy from harm and stalling attackers long enough for the royal heir to escape.
Aqualad: "Aren't these defenses a little overkill?"
OL: "To protect the life of a child? There's no such thing as overkill."
Queen Mera: "Well spoken."

You know, the name of this storyline, triumph of the will, reminds me of a Green Lantern elseworld- The Nazis make a power ring through human sacrifice, powered by the souls of those willingly sacrificed if memory served.
Well at least 3.1 million German soldiers died in WW2, and the Hitler was their leader, so hey, if you're going to resurrect Hitler, well how much mojo do you think at least 3.1 million souls could bring?
Not that I think this is where it's going, just my musing.
Three characters I believe, actually.
While I'm not saying it isn't silly, the Fourth Reich did conquer the world in a Justice Society storyline, but doing silly things with Nazis is hardly unknown over there in DC comics.
Heck, they had an elseworlds in which the Greek gods were the divine patrons of Nazi Germany conquering the world. The Nazis put Greeks into concentration camps for crying out loud.

Never did find a very good modern DCU for that. I'd love to make an Earth-16 edition with The Team and the Justice League, but between making portraits, moves, and all the different times/dimensions it'll make you feel the mode.
Also the main window can't be resized and it takes too long to find bad guys and level up.

"Caçador" HAHAHA
Caca is a spanish word for shit and Brazil is literaly surrounded by spanish speaking countries.

Portuguese has it's own version of that word: cocô. All romance languages have it, I think.
"Caçador" is pronounced with a "s" sound (quit a bit like the Spanish word "casas") and is the equivalent of "cazador" (and Italian "cacciatore" and French "chasseur"). La cedilla es muy importante.

That's what Cornwall Boy does, and last we heard they hadn't been able to make an artifact do what he does.
He doesn't have a spell eater. Father Box was able to use some of the raw magic Zatanna 50 pushed at him for its own purposes, but he doesn't have any artifacts that protect him against hostile magic.

given how the small ones already lightly tug at them, this might actually eat souls.
Assuming it actually worked safely, a house-sized Spell Eater sounds like the sort of thing you'd use to protect an entire fortress, town, starship or space station; not an individual. An investment that would make sense in a world where something like Klarion's world-splitting spell is possible; if every major town was protected by something like that then far less harm would have been caused.

Remember, this is about trying to deplete the Mana Battery in the spell eater so it keeps protecting you from hostile spells, not making a Magic Power Ring as powerful as a Lantern Ring. I was not talking about making a ring with power competitive on a Galactic Scale, just ways to actively use that pent up magic power to free up space for more, and get some extra utility out of it in the bargain. Part of why the GL Corps can be all "I Punch It With a Giant Green Fist" Is that it can just overpower and plow through a lot on merely world class threats.
I never said a Spell Eater enchanted with spells allowing you to spend its stored power would be that powerful...
