Especially given the reaction Kalmin had to learning that there's someone capable of becoming a guardian-like being. I think he very much supports that outcome, and would want to help with it.

Maybe make a blue personal lantern for Blaul, and try to make his life less shitty? If Owlman can make a device to cross planes, Hinon almost certainly can, and -14 should be much easier to find than Earth Prime. And hey, maybe Blaul didn't have his memory of YJ season 2 wiped.

Well, the Paths of Civilization quest on SV has a weaponised open-border policy. Any time their neighboring civilisations experience social unrest, they get to drain Economy points in the form of refugees. At least one neighbor was once destabilised by the action and broke up into warring villages, now completely absorbed. Another neighbor has had to structure most of their society around resisting the effects.

You just need some Will around to make Hope useful. He has a soul that's at least half-green. I think he'll be his own source.

This? I love this. I love this so much. This is so beautiful.
That ending is legitimately one of the scarier endings to a chapter.

By directly peering into the minds of effective clones of himself using various colored rings? He saw red, blue, indigo, and anti-green in addition to his normal orange. Assuming green and anti-green have similar psychological effects, that's a majority of the color spectrum if you exclude white and black.
Actually, he could have just learned it from Hinon. She and Krona did a bunch of research on the various colors before deciding on green, and specifically because of the minimal mental changes it produced.

This entire conversation was very nice to read and I already love the relationship the two are setting up with. I like how the Weaponer is open to Paul's ideas and the two seem to hit it off pretty well.

It's worth noting that Blue rings are useless as weapons without Green because Ganthet made them that way - restricted because he wasn't sure if he could trust mortals with it, so he sort of affixed them to the GLC. I doubt that Kalmin will be so restrictive with the, iirc, strongest emotional light (presumably behind White and Black, but never confirmed).

Kalmin's complaint and Paul's response remind me of the Epistle of James, saying that faith without works is dead. Wanting something without doing anything about it is pointless. Faith is supposed to mean, I can't yet see the outcome I want, but I'm willing to believe it's possible, so I'll keep moving forward. Like the guy who first attracted a blue ring, and rejuvenated his star.

He also is partially composed of Will itself, so that too would have some interesting effects.
If Kalmin makes Alan a Blue Lantern he's going to be looking over whatever data it sends back to him like a hawk.

Somewhere in which the rings' ability to recharge on other energies wasn't nerfed that storyline had quite the different ending....
"So you want me to build a magic eater in the shape of a railroad lantern, whatever that is, that stores ambient magic until its released apon the recitation of an oath, and you want it to color the magic green? Anything else?"
"No, that covers it."
The Manta ray man from Atlantis sighs to himself.

well you know what they say, if you can't beat em subtly encourage their dissidents and poor to migrate to your land, creating an ongoing drain of agricultural labor and steady theft of technical knowledge until the constant pressure and loss of comparative advantage forces them into an inescapable downward spiral.

That would be a good episode if Zoat is into it. Baul is Kindasorta popular in here, not as much as Raul, but its hard to beat the Teen Titans.
@Mr Zoat i was pretty sure you had at some point said that blue lantern weaknesses in regards to only being useful in proximity to green lantern was a limitation placed by their creator to avoid stepping in the guardian toes and thus blue lanterns would have the same standard power set as the other colors hence why Baul wasn't entirely useless in a fight (with recharging from ambient hope, being their bonus power), if this is the case can Scott dual wield his rings and use blue to recharge green? Because i don't remember any WoZ dealing with that particular scenario.

Thank you, corrected.
Unless I made a mistake, the SI is asking for a lantern and not a ring.And Paragon Paul forever wins the Ring wars by getting someone to forge a weaponized Blue Ring of Hope.

Was reading the chapter and I kind of thought, well that's ambition that the SI is describing. Ambition is a bit more than just desire, but it starts with that at it's core. That led to me thinking about what might happen if you combined two rings of a different type together. How would you do it? What emotions represent both well enough to work them together?
This is what I came up with.
red + orange = bloodlust
red + yellow = Anxiety
red + green = Disgust
red + blue = Irritation
red + violet =
red + pink =
orange + yellow = worry
orange + green = Resolve
orange + blue = Ambition
orange + violet = joy
orange + pink = delight
Yellow + green = contempt
yellow + blue = faith
yellow + violet =
yellow + pink =
green + blue = resolve
green + violet = pride
green + pink = contentment
blue + violet = courage
blue + pink = trust
violet + pink = Serenity
Anyone got some ideas or maybe something that might fit better? Maybe Mr. Zoat will use some of this idea, himself.

As per UnSong:
On the outside: Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here.
On the inside: Keep Hoping, Suckers!
Garyven referred to Amazing Grace's fake resistance movement.
For a moment I read that as the Epistle of Jamie.
I was confused to say the least.

It must also be noted that Hope charges more than just Will. It also charges Compassion, which will have interesting effects if the Indigo Tribe is out there. Beyond that, the potential power of a Hope Ring not limited by 'bobble headed malware' is ridiculous. Two of them, acting as a pilot light for a planet, successfully deaged a star and prevented it from going nova!
I wouldn't be surprised if Alan's blue Ring ended up with him playing host to Adara. The man lived on Hope and Will for decades after all. Oooh, I do hope that if Interdimensional travel does show up we get to have Jade and/or Obsidian come for a visit. That'd be an interesting bit of story.

That reminds me of something that i meant to meantion; it would normally make sense that he wouldn't need to check for malware because of his New God abilities, but that would be based on his soul, which he isn't sure about such not having malware of its own.
The ability of humanity to break things to get at their creamy centers probably has become a racial superpower.

Yes, but I was actually remembering his reaction to the leaders deposed by Mordru.
