Editing Tōng Líng Tǎ (section)

==Trivia==
*This cape shares their name with an [[Ziggurat (Draft)|early draft]] of Worm.
*Since Chinese is prone to use compound words/sentences extensively instead of loaning words, it is tricky to produce literal translations, so Tōng Líng Tǎ would approximate to "the tower to communicate with the spirits", or "psychic tower".<ref name=I1 group=Note>[https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=worddict&wdrst=0&wdqb=c:通灵* Information source], notice the ouija comparison.</ref> For comparison, ''Jīn zì xíng shén tǎ'' (金字形神塔), which would be a more specific and formal term for Ziggurat, would approximate to "The golden god tower", where "golden" (''Jīn zì'') could be splintered further into "gold symbol"<ref name=I2 group=Note>With all connotations of [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/金 wealth and nobility], so [https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=worddict&wdrst=0&wdqb=c:金字* ''Jīn zì tǎ''] by itself would mean "pyramid", while [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/金塔 ''Jīn tǎ''] would be [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22%E9%87%91%E5%A1%94%22&hl=en&tbm=isch literal golden stupa].</ref> and "god" (''xíng shén'') is more of "avatar, embodiment of spirit".<ref name=I3 group=Note>[[Wildbow]] seems to have "goofed" here with neologism/google translate and formal term would be more thematically relevant. Additionally, ''Tǎ'' is a loan word itself, which is mildly entertaining. Given that Yàngbǎn are a group of assimilated international capes this may make some sense.</ref>
*Though some readers believe that she is one of the first [[Cauldron]] test subjects along with [[Doormaker]], [[Eidolon]] and [[Hero]] among others, with her being the one who made and potentially cleans,<ref>It looked like a hospital, but not an abandoned one.  Things were pristine, the walls and tiled floor a clean, untouched white.  It wasn’t a place that had been left to deteriorate.  The stark, clean nature of the place made for a contrast where the damage had been done.  There were gouges in the walls, things torn free from walls and ceilings.  Scorch marks, from both acid and fire, and damaged chairs, cabinets and lockers.<br/>[...]<br/>The longer I looked, the less it seemed like a hospital, and the less ''real'' it seemed.  It was more like someone had taken sections of a hospital, removing everything like the nurse’s stations and the rooms for the patients, leaving only the hallways and doors that sat flush against the floor, airtight.  I would have thought it was all staged, but a check with my bugs confirmed that there was a minimum of dust even in places people wouldn’t be able to see.<br/><br/>Why take that much time to clean areas that were never going to get used? - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/26 Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.4]]</ref> the [[Cauldron Compound]], this remains unconfirmed.<ref name="I29">A man who can invent, a girl who can teleport…  she could go down the list and figure each of them out, by posing it as a challenge to her power.
