Hey all, I read a book a while ago and I forget what it was called or the author. I think that the title had the elements involved, e.g. fire and ice or something like that.
The basic premise is that there are alien sybiots that grant 'magical' powers to rare humans. A computer onboard the ship controls pretty much everything including the introduction of the symbiot. Multiple symbiots grant greater powers but there is more conflict between the symbiots.
Any ideas as to who the author or book might be?

The more I think about it the more I vaguely remember reading them. Was it a fantasy trilogy with characters making 'pilgrimages' to some out-of-the-way place to get the symbionts?
If so, it'll come to me, I'm sure! Were the covers by the same person who did the covers for Magician, Darkness at Sethanon etc? (In the UK though...)
EDIT: Got it! Maybe?
I'm thinking.. Janny Wurts - Cycle of Fire trilogy. (Stormwarden, Keeper of the Keys, Shadowfane)
(Chain of thought: Feist -> Daughter of he Empire -> Janny Wurts -> eureka...maybe?)
thank you thank you thank you
I am pretty sure that is the correct trilogy - I read it 10 years ago I think so my memory is a little fuzy. It was about the time I too read Magician series and Daughter of the Empire series by Fiest -> such good books.
thanks again, now i just need to find a library or store that stocks it.
