The Windy Thing is the coined term for one of John's powers as the Heir of Breath. Using the Windy Thing, John is able to call forth The Breeze, similar to huge gusts of wind. It allowed him to put out a fire covering almost all of LOWAS and reach the top of his echeladder at the same time. His powerful use of the Windy Thing on LOWAS alerted his Consorts and reportedly caused Typheus to stir. It briefly seemed to disperse the clouds of John's planet and free the Fireflies, but the effect was only temporary. He had to use his powers gained from the mysterious weapon that can kill LFile:EnglishO.gifrd English to do that.
