  1. Yeah, I only really wanted to point out the links. Doesn't have to be in any shared narrative universe. Just similar contexts and possibly the stories coexist.
  2. I mean, just because he hasn't confirmed it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And just because they're shared doesn't mean they have to intersect at all. They can, as we well know, function as entirely different novella's, I just think that there are so many links. I'm not sure if he's writing any more books in either series, but I think your right that if combining their stories would be less than ideal. But sharing a universe with maybe nudges to each other is cool.
  3. Just a theory which I thought up, which I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Apologies if I didn't see it, but as I couldn't, thought I'd post it here. Also, spoilers for Snapshot and all three Legion books. I think Legion and Snapshot share the same universe. I haven't been able to discuss this much, as I don't know anyone who's read both, but I think it has quite a bit of grounding. Here's the evidence, from least compelling to most: Both present or near future. No widespread crazy powerful tech. Both have something or someone who can recreate an area a time in the past In Legion, the tech is not accurate, and just a photo, but could have been developed until Snapshot to be an all-encompassing are at a specific time In Snapshot, the thing is part of the big machine which is apparently powered by a person, but it could be tech, not the person An almost uniquely powered individual who has the ability to manifest multiple external consciousnesses, which is made more powerful by VR The woman in Legion is named Sandra and has the same condition as Stephen Leeds, but it is more developed The person in the machine is the only powered individual we know, and the only people we know in Legion with powers are Stephen and Sandra Sandra submits to a corporation to be free of her powers/condition, the corporation sold the machine to the government, hence why such powerful human being trapped in the machine is so docile "dupes" in the snapshot have consciousness, or a perfectly close approximation, as we know by the narrator having full cognitive capability, so possibly they are forced to be Sandra's aspects as perfect imitations of their real past selves machine explained as simple matter creation, this can't be true, as the police badges work in weird ways with the people, not allowing for simple physics, VR is a perfect explanation There is probably something in Sanderson's intro which makes this obvious, or its been outright said and I missed it, but I didn't see it on the Wiki, so I hope you enjoy my theory.
  4. But is the earth invested in Roshar because it doesn't seem to have any magical properties except the radiants being able to shape it, and that implies its not invested. This one seems to make the most sense but someone I spoke with about this said it was just to do with when it gets blunt. The blunt part of a blade is the hilt and the fork just past the tines. However, what about a spear. Your explanation makes way more sense in that case. But if I stab the spike into me through the cookie I get the cookies allomancy powers why would I want to pass that up.
  5. Now, as we know, shardblades can be stuck into things without resistance up to the hilt, but this is not the only form they can take. For instance, Sylspear has only the tip actually sharp, but if nothing past that can pass through things, then can he stab people past that. And what about Wyndle's best form, the shardfork. Where does that stop. Is it only the times of the fork or what. And Wyndle's other form the shardfork, is it able to pass through anything at all. Maybe the impermeable parts are like shardblade or the shardblade guards they use for shardblade training.
  6. Now, if we observe how shardblades treat normal friction, i.e. they dont, they slip through solid rock as if it was air, how do they treat air. They would have almost no air resistance and therefore would not slow down until they hit the ground. In fact, why stop there. Normally, the hilt stops a shardblade from falling through the ground to the centre of the earth, but what stops a bullet. If the back of the bullet doesn't sink into the ground, then will it pass through people. Finally, Bullet Syl. That's her name now.
