No, stupid calculator!

Oops. HUGE mistake there. My calculation on how long the summoner had to work was WAY off. He did have five months of realtime, and assuming 1 month = 30 days...

5 months = 150 days = 3600 hours = 216,000 minutes = 12,960,000 seconds.

Now, the Narrator from TFL said in Sons of Myrgard: "only a few seconds passed between the invocation of the thing and its sudden destruction, while it took us two days to escape the caves inside it." The thing he talks of is the tain (which the summoner is in). So basically one second realtime equals one day taintime.

So that means the summoner had 12,960,000 days in the tain to resurrect the myrkridia. That's frickin' long time. 35,506.85 years to be exact. I'll get back to that in a second.

Now, going back with my previous idea of the summoner resurrecting 500 myrks per tain-day, I'll scale it back to 200. He probably spends a lot of time doing other things besides ressing, even though ressing takes almost no time. So, 200 myrks per day times 12,960,000 days = 2,592,000,000 myrks.

HOLY ****! That's enough myrks to take out everything that ever existed! Soulblighter must have been a real dumbass to fail to take down light with that kind of army! 2.5 billion myrks!

Now, to my other point. The Summoner lived for 5 realtime months straight in the tain. That is 35506 years. He was one long-lived poopyhead. Soulblighter must have done something to keep him alive all that time. OR, the summoner's destiny as the summoner may have kept him alive all that time just because the gods wished it to be so.

I'm still amazed that 2.5 billion myrks couldn't rip up Alric so bad. I'm sure the summoner ran out of myrks to ressurect at some point, but every one that died could be brought back into the tain for him to resurrect. Soulblighter basically had a neverending supply of myrks.

But my question stands: where are all of these excess myrks? They sure as hell weren't all in the tain, because if they were, the Deceiver would never have gotten to that evil little summoner.
