The Chosen One somehow discovering some new thing at the climax of any big conflict.
I'm looking at you, Sword of Truth.
The series is so long, which part are you referring to? Lmao it is one of my favorites still though.
(I'm pretty sure in a bunch of cases he uses magic to resolve stuff but never understands what he's doing and most of the time can't replicate it)
Also have you read sword of justice series?
Most of the series past the first book is what I was referring to. It seemed like, for at least several books, there's some big climax and he suddenly rediscovers some lost aspect of War Magic that saves the day, mostly unrelated to the rest of the book. It's been over a decade since I read them though, so I might not be remembering it right.
Still enjoyed the series as a whole, despite a few things. Haven't read sword of justice, but I might give it a try.
Its been quite some time since I read them as well, but you aren't wrong. Well I've a host of recommendations if you ever need any!
I started off really enjoying the series, but eventually had to abandon it as he kept adding increasingly over the strawmen who's sole purpose was to be blown away by the might of Randian Objectivism.
Yeah, I always felt like the series would have been better as a single book (maybe the first and part of the second?). Playing with ideas of truth and perceived truth was cool, but it wasn't enough to sustain such a long series.
