Source/Explanation
Description based on the effects of the ability.

Are we sure this is Perrin's ability? It hasn't been explicitly stated, but it does make sense... --Radicell 08:34, 6 January 2009 (EST)

It is not clear whether or not the spikes can be retracted after being protruded

  • idn't Perrin say that there wasn't a murder weapon found and he was convicted anyway. I think it would be hard not to notice a giant spike through someone's body.--Dman dustin 11:52, 6 January 2009 (EST)
    • Maybe because the spikes go back to his body. Meteoritu 20:20, 6 January 2009 (EST)

Spikes accuracy??

Did anyone else notice how every single one of the spikes appeared to go through someones heart??? Added to that the fact the His wife was found dead with a wound THROUGH HER HEART...

leads me to think that it's not just simple spike emmision, that it's more heat-sensing or something similar. --Rikku4president 01:03, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Only his wife was mentioned to have been stabbed in the heart, to say all others were stabbed in the heart is speculative, you're trying to see something that just isn't there. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 07:47, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Rename to Bone Spike Protrusion

(Under the Bridge, Part 2) states: "Perrin's ability activates on instinct, sending bone spikes in every direction"...so should we append 'bone' as a prefix, like we do for other specific powers like: (Chlorine gas exudiation and Nerve gas emission)? --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 01/13/2009 10:21 (EST)

  • I support the rename, it follows the standards we've used so far and describes the ability more accurately. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 10:27, 13 January 2009 (EST)
    • It is better than just spike protrusion --Irony 11:42, 13 January 2009 (EST)
  • Yeah the rename makes more sense, and it is canon after all.--Steelymcbeam 12:58, 13 January 2009 (EST)
  • I would say just "bone spikes". -Lөvөl 13:56, 13 January 2009 (EST)
    • No, not another noun for an ability name. Abilities need some sort of action verb in the name. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2009 (EST)
      • "Protrusion" is the noun form of "protrude" which is a verb. I think "bone spike protrusion" is a great name. Just a quick note: the intros to the graphic novels are not usually written by the writing staff, but by the NBC people. I think we would consider that a secondary source (#3), not a near-canon source (#2). However, I think the information there is fantastic--it's very helpful to know that the spikes are actually bone spikes and not some other substance. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:06, 13 January 2009 (EST)
  • I like it --laughingdevilboy 14:39, 13 January 2009 (EST)
    • I would go along with this, but the fact is that the spikes were drawn brown and thorny, very plant-like. Brown bone? I think that's reaching, so I'd rather just leave the term bone out of the name and put it in notes, like we do other info that doesn't come from the writers/artists.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:03, 13 January 2009 (EST)
