Difference between revisions of "Hoid"

Hoid does not yet have the abilities of every planet he's visited.{{qa ref|1110|5}} Some of his powers predate the [[Shattering]], but none of them are gained through [[Hemalurgy]].{{qa ref|1115|44}} When asked about how many types of magic he can use, Brandon has pointed out that they are all really part of the same system so it's difficult to count, but he wouldn't say that Hoid knows 'hundreds' of varieties of magic.{{qa ref|1094|43}}

 

* Lightweaving - possible illusion magic from [[Yolen]]. This allows him to create images of anything he likes, and even possibly change how he looks to others.

* Worldhopping - Hoid is very good at manipulating Shadesmar.{{qa ref|428|102}} He can travel to any world he likes, and can even use this ability to move swiftly around a single planet and to get to otherwise inaccessible areas, like the Well of Ascension.{{17s ref|post|42244}} However according to [[Rock]] when he encountered Hoid he had to ask [[Rock]] what time it was in the [[Horneater]] calendar, which may mean that while he is very good at getting around places he does not always know when he will arrive on a planet (locally speaking) or that his worldhopping is inprecise in terms of the time it takes for him to travel somewhere.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
