Andrew Rowe:
Could a low level enchanter enchant high level runes if they had a large number of low level crystals? For example could Corin use 22 crystals with 100 mana to make a Citrine level enchantment?

(view spoiler)[Yes and no, mostly on the no side.
Runes need to be enchanted in a specific time frame to remain stable. A low-level enchanter with a bunch of crystals could make a bigger than normal rune, but not by much, because they can't move mana into a high-level rune quickly enough to keep it stable.
Corin has an advantage over other low-level enchanters in this regard after the second book. (Spoilers ahead.)
Corin's second attunement increases his speed for transferring mana, which would allow Corin to charge larger runes more quickly than an average enchanter of his level. This still wouldn't allow him to enchant something colossally difficult, but he could enchant something from multiple crystals more easily than an ordinary enchanter could. (hide spoiler)]

Hello Andrew, just going through the book "Sufficiently Advanced Magic" on audio after driving from Arizona to Southern California. My Camera-Man ( his sister reviews books) had me listening to it through the drive and I just wanted to say the book was excellent. If you're interested in some kind of review or media I think it would be super cool to have my friends sister work with you in some fashion? Let us know U.G.

How does Blake Hartigan's control of his reincarnation work? I am not asking for the spell he uses I just want a clearer picture of the results, does he use destiny sorcery to predict where he will be reborn or does take over the body of a child? Is he reborn with all his power or does he have to start over each time?
