We should try to spread cosmere/non-cosmere profanity by using it in real life, and when someone asks we play it off like it was new slang. I imagine if this were successful Brandon would be very happy.

Oh ok. Brandon has said multiple times that Reckonersverse is not cosmere, but I do not know if he said it could never be cosmere. But with the universes being separate there probably would never be a connection between them anyways, and I'm not sure how many people would appreciate Reckonersverse getting mixed up with the Cosmere.

Honestly I wouldn't mind waking up to seeing Brandon say, "Guys, I lied. The Reckonersverse is part of the cosmere." However I am also glad that it isn't. I can't imagine that it would be fun for Brandon to write pretty much everyone of his books as part of the same universe. I feel that he wrote all the other non-cosmere stuff to get a breath of fresh air, in a sense. I don't think Brandon is the type of author to just go back on his word and say that it's part of the cosmere. Also, the Reckoners series is already over. Finally, is this even a theory? You didn't speculate on anything, you just wrote a fan fiction type thing...

I think it would be normal, in a way. If everyone was super powerful then there would be a way to prevent or restrict crazed individuals. It also depends on the magic system. It would definitely be fun to see but I doubt that Brandon would make a society like this just because he has no reason to. There would probably be a bit of investiture usage by everyone in daily life just to make life easier. There would be people who don't know about their powers due to poverty, and people who train everyday to become more powerful. This would be similar to any society with access to magic. There could definitely be cities, more powerful people would rule and protect those who are not able to protect themselves. EDIT: by poverty I mean that they haven't been educated enough to discover anything.

So sorry! I just learned how to do so and I don't use this forum everyday and I didn't follow this topic so I didn't get a notification. Thanks to Voidus for editing it for me!

I imagine that the fingers would not be able to really grab things very well independently but together they could perform the same function as a hand that you could throw out and pull back. This is would be really fun to see in actual use in future books. I wonder why something like this hasn't been seen in Warbreaker. EDIT: Come to think of it I can see why this wouldn't be used. It's just impractical. They could just awaken a rope to grab things and hold on to one end, couldn't they? I don't have a good memory in regards to specific book happenings, especially in Warbreaker, as I read is this past summer. Seems like forever ago.

I don't have any answers but nice questions. I wonder if Kaladin wouldn't be able to use his powers on aluminum?

Regardless of your choice it would be very expensive... Can you imagine buying all that metal to make metalminds, or for consumption? I mean, totally worth, but expensive nonetheless. Not to mention that not all the metals are real. Either way I'd pick feruchemy because I think it has more place in the modern world, although I'd love to be able to fly as a mistborn.

BoM spoilers

if Trell were the avatar of a shard, which shard would that be? Anyone other than Odium?

Lopen is my favorite character. Just sayin'

Hello and welcome! I like this forum a lot for the theories, but I can't come up with my own lol

You can read white sand by requesting it here: http://brandonsanderson.com/contact/ (in the message box). It might take a few weeks but I definitely thought it was worth the wait.

Thanks!

Uhh, I think I have read all the cosmere related books, including all the short stories (and White Sand that Brandon's assistant emailed me upon request)... I know there is another unpublished book that I could read that I haven't yet, but I forget what it is called. Anyways, please enlighten me.

I didn't read everything in this thread because its kinda long but I doubt that the Forests of Hell is any sort of afterlife... How can you die in the afterlife, and even if you ignore that how can a character escape from it? Isn't there a worldhopper from Threnody? It just doesn't make sense to me, it doesn't seem Sanderson-like. And wasn't there a different sort of afterlife already hinted at by Harmony? What if each world had its own afterlife, unique to the beliefs of the people living there. That would make sense to me.

If my sister became an epic I would probably blast kpop as loud as I could and show her the latest dank memes. She'd definitely melt. I can hear her listening to kpop whilst giggling very loudly. lol

If someone I knew became an epic I'd go stick around Sanderson, cuz I'm sure he'd think of a way to overcome any epic!

... Definitely lucky, I have told all my friends that like to read, even some that hate reading and I don't think any of them have even looked at one of his books Some have seemed interested (maybe fake) and some just don't care. I wish I could express to them how truly amazing his books are.

Same. After I discovered Sanderson I went into a reading frenzy for his books. I pretty much only read because and for him now. I read other books too, but not often because I'm still waiting on releases. Not to mention the fact that a book takes much less time to read than write... O man, I can't imagine how much work that is.

Granted, however, you forget everything you've just read 5 minutes after you stop reading.I wish to become Harmony himself.

Santhid! That's what it's called.

Are you talking about that huge rare underwater creature that Shallan sketched when she was on a boat? If so I agree, though I have no idea how to describe it other than the fact that I vaguely remember the sketch showing little more than a big eye.

Granted, however you are now deaf.I wish to be able to live out the life of any character of CHOICE from any book or movie, I have the power to leave and enter whenever I wish.

Galladon seemed like a truly devoted man to his work. Maybe it requires a form of pure devotion to be taken by the shaod.
