Talk:The Fifth Sacred Thing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] What's fifth?
A recent editor changed the page to include spirit as the fifth sacred thing. This isn't quite right. While spirit is mentioned as the fifth sacred thing several times in the book (including one very early mention when the four powers are first introduced), it turns out at the end that the true fifth sacred thing is slightly different.
With regard to spoilage or not, when I first wrote the article, I deliberately avoided putting in spoilage (including the identity of the true fifth sacred thing) but I'm not firmly rooted on this approach.

- All integral plot elements can (and should) be included on Wikipedia. While I can certainly see the point in hiding it so as to make the article safe reading without the use of a spoiler tag, that isn't the convention of this site (see any other book or movie description).
