  1. So if Nightblood is essentially an Endowment Shardblade (albeit a broken one) does that mean its possible to make a Shardblade-like weapon out of any Investiture? Like, could you have a Mistborn wielding a Preservation Shardblade that coalesces out of the mists? Or Maybe an Aluminum Sword that behaves like a Shardblade doesn't kill another Allomancer when it cuts them but destroys their reserves like Aluminum does already.
  2. So in WoK, there are those two ardents in the the eighth interlude (Geranid). The one is studying Spren and discovers that if you measure a spren, and record your measurements, it locks it somehow. Size, shape, luminosity. I assume this had to do with the cognitive realm and I'm sure there's already somewhere on these forums about how recording it sets a law in Shadesmar or something. BUT! This isn't about that so much as it's about the similarity to the real-life scientific phenomenon called the Quantum Zeno Effect - or Turing's Paradox - where if you measure or observe an unstable particle enough times, it will stop decaying like it should. You can lock an unstable particle of Uranium by measuring it or watching it. Thought it was an interesting similarity and I didn't see it pointed out anywhere else here. Btw this is my first post here so yeah... Just thought it was worth mentioning. Don't know if it means anything...
