I'd like to think that I have the writing ability necessary to perform such a task. My only concern is being called out on making stuff up or whatever. I think, regarding what I told the Conclave, that I might be able to do pretty well with anatomy and physiology type things.
I wrote a book on the earth element and the taint once, and I was totally making things up. Including this explanation I made up about how the reason that Estarra couldn't just get rid of the Soulless was because the taint was tied irrevocably with the element of Earth, so if the Soulless were removed from existence, then that would remove the taint which would remove the element of Earth and then reality would fall apart.
Now, when the book was submitted for Prestige, the Divine Scholar called me out on being wrong about all the Soulless having anything to do with taint - cause it's exclusive to Kethuru. I didn't realize that at the time I wrote the book though. Course, the book still won Prestige, even with that one wrong detail.
Anyway, my point is, sure, sometimes you'll be wrong making up science facts. But hey, the worst that'll happen is that someone'll say, "You're wrong about this." Then, you can either write something else correcting yourself, or be that crazy eccentric who keeps harping on the incorrect fact and trying to convince everyone it's true. Like folks who really think the earth is hollow and won't be convinced otherwise.

Kethuru is soulless. Does he not count?

I have like half a dozen projects that I started writing, but never finished. This is on top of the ideas that never even got started.
WHY C4N'T 1 F1N1SH YOU!?
I suppose that's true. I appreciate the advice.

Having read the Transmology scrolls on Xiel's site, I'm absolutely in love with the Illuminati's flavor. Harmonics was kind of obvious, but Transmology is just awesome.
Transmology is actually making me consider making Lucan an Illuminati, even though his RP's always been "RAWR WARRIOR SMASH!"
Can't wait to get past novicehood in the Institute on Xaakin.
Mad props to whoever designed Hallifax. 
Phoebus is maaaarried. 
I never thought I'd see the day.
Now to bring in a billion new Skyplumes!!
