  1. Here's a hypothesis, let's say that a regular city from Earth from Earth got hit by a Highstorm, how bad would the damage be? Would the city stay standing relatively unscathed, would it be completely blown apart or something in between? I just want a rough guesstimate. For a more specific example, how bad would it be on a port city like, say, Boston?
  2. So this rug is set on earth where an evil company lead by mad scientists projected every human soul, memories, identity, etc. into an inanimate object, animal, plant, etc. except a human body, all the bodies disappeared somehow (it doesn't matter how.). Your character can be any of these things, there is no particular goal in this and you can do whatever you like. you can also be wherever you like in the world. sidenote: the scientists also turned into other things. Magical powers can be created by the character but you cannot have immortality, any time related ability (making time go faster, slower, seeing the future, making someone age faster, time travel, etc.) , the ability to kill someone, or the power to transform into something else (chameleons are not included in this). here is a character template you can use. Jacob woke up as a fox. he was lying on the ground in a forest next to a large tree and a rock. Jacob stood up, wobbling. What! he had just been at a work meeting trying to decide what their next product was going to be! Jacob suddenly realized he was a fox. He started talking to himself, "nonononononononono!"
  3. No one quite knows why it happened- perhaps a passing ASB, perhaps a snap in spacetime, or perhaps sheer quantum chance. Whatever it was, it happened. On January 1st, 2015 at 12:00am, magic in the world returned. All magic. Any, every piece of folklore, from Ancient China to the Native Americans, the Aboriginals to the Mongols, all of it came back- monsters, artifacts, magic, everything and anything. Unicorns roam the plains of Europe, and in the basement of an office buildings a satanic cult summons up demons and devils to serve their will. A great dragon advises an wise old man in China, and a Rakshasa tricks a businessman into following him a dark alley with promises of great wealth. Uh, not many gods, though. The world didn't turn into a reckoners, but with gods- that's a whole other setting. There are powerful beings, yes, but nothing like the pantheons of Greece and Rome. One-off monsters, killed long ago (Such as the Gorgons, the Minotaur, and so on) are still dead and will remain dead, unless someone revives them somehow. This will be far more FotT-eqsue- we will all make the story, however, unlike FotT, please keep to the theme for your characters (Folklore of all kinds- Christian, native, anything). Be good, be evil, I don't care- just create STORY. I'll start. ==================================================================== January 1st, 11:00am, Liverpool, UK Grace woke up in her apartment on a perfectly normal day. She sat up, yawned, got dressed, and went downstairs and started brewing a cup of coffee. Her mother had the news on and was switching between channels rapidly. "Finnish man has been found with nearly 3 million worth of gold in his Helsinki..." "15 people missing in Sussex this morning, reports of sharks..." "Cornwall man wins millions, credits his victory to..." Grace yawns again, takes a sip of her coffee. She pauses- something seems... off in the city. It had a strange tension to it, an energy. She shakes her head and turns away from the window- she needed to get to her winter break job soon.
  4. Woo-hoo!! Avatar: The Last Airbender is back on Netflix! Rewatching it for the fifteenth time? First time watching the three seasons? Feel free to discuss your favorite characters, episodes, and elements here!
  5. In the epilogue of Rhythm of War, Hoid refers to the coins from his magic trick as cents, I deduce that this either a translation of a word from one of the languages of the Cosmere (unlikely), an error on Mr. Sanderson's part (once again, rather unlikely), or, last but not least, a hint that Hoid is aware of Earth's Unniverse, Earth, and specifically the United States (which does provide some degree of a time frame). This could imply that Hoid can hop universes. What do you all think? Any other theories upon why Sanderson chose this word beyond that it made a convenient pun?
  6. Hello , ppl. Recently I came to realize one of the most useful magic systems in modern Life would be feruchemy and that using feruchemy is to live life more efficiently. So this post is basically about how feruchemy would make my life as an Indian student more fun and efficient. Read the hidden content ( I think it's hidden ?? , I'm new to this ) , if u want to get to know what my life is like . It also contains a bit of near teen angst about the attendance policy . I have kept it short. Here's my take on feruchemy in modern Life : 7). Archiving . ( As filthy Frank said ; " LYF HAX , Oh YEAH ") Suppose u googled something u wish u never had. It could be anything , from a picture of Voldemort with a nose to FULL ON HENTAI TENTACLE RAPE or SPONGEBOB PORN. Now instead of blinding urself or carrying out a lobotomy while hoping for the best ,u could simply remove and throw away the memory. ( " LYF HAX , Oh YEAH " ) On a more serious note , It would be very helpful to sufferers of PTSD , shell shocked veterans , rape victims , etc. Suppose u have some bad memories. Memories of being bullied , betrayed , trauma ,etc. U could simply store it in a copper mind and then just throw it away Similarly u could store good memories too. Like as time passes ur memories decay and u lose details and stuff , but if it's stored in copper it will never decay and u can re visit the experience again near perfectly . Also I ,and I'm sure all of u ,face this problem. Once I read a book i wanna reread it but it's not the same cause I already know what's gonna happen so I could simply remove the memory of reading the book and read it as if for the first time. Also elegant solution to get rid of spoilers. Like the spoilers I had to suffer during the days before I went to watch infinity war . Oof . Similarly u can rewatch movies and other stuff too. Or u could make every kiss a first kiss or every time u eat ice cream the first time. Every time u have sex the first time and so on. 1). Skimming So I can easily store 90% of my weight at any time without any risk. With less weight I can move as gracefully as a dancer and can jump down from high up with no injuries , cause I will be as light as a feather . So bye bye staircases . As soon as the bell rings I will run out of the class and jump straight into the campus garden outside . Also suppose I'm in a fight. I can then increase my weight and throw a punch. As u know force = mass*acceleration. Therefore if my mass ( ie , my wieght ) increases , even a normal punch would be devastating ( yes , I understand that's not exactly how momentum works on Scadrial but it's ambiguous territory , so let a boi dream , but wait no , Wax never uses his weight like that , does he ???). Of course if I'm low on weight and a strong wind comes , I will be blown away. Not much of a disadvantage tho , I can easily just increase my weight and even withstand hurricane winds. 2). Steelrunning Speed is a harder attribute to store. But I suppose it's possible to do it anyway. Like suppose I'm sitting in class , reading a novel and ignoring the teacher as usual ( can u store speed while u r sitting without doing much??? ). So I'm not doing anything which requires speed . I can store any percentage of speed I want. Then later I can tap at all the stored speed and become superfast, yes. Suppose I forgot the lab record at home , I can use up the stored speed to go to my home and back in three seconds. Or suppose the teacher catches me using phone. I can use super speed to hide my phone and take out my calculater instead and tell the teacher she must have mistook my calculator for my phone . Oh the teachers would be so dumbfounded. Also useful in a fight. As I said force = mass * acceleration. So increased speed means increased force. Now if increase both the weight and speed of a punch . Oof . Also I can use it to quickly Dodge punches . Many other uses as well. 3). Windwhispering . So tin stores senses. All 5 or more senses ?? Hearing So suppose I wanna study but it's too noisy , I could simply *store my hearing* and boom , total silence. Then later I could use the extra hearing power to listen to what someone is saying *from a distance. Smell So usually u don't need a sense of smell. Suppose I'm sitting in class , do I need that sense ? No . So I store it. Then later when playing hide and seek , I could use my extra smelling power to seek out the hiding person like a dog . Or I could use it to really smell something delicious to the peak. Taste U don't usually require ur sense of taste right. Like when u r sitting in class , *what are you tasting ? Your own saliva ? So how about u store it instead. U could also store it while eating or drinking something u hate. Like I hate eating a dish called Idli ( Not a corruption of Egdli ) , but my mom makes it every week . So I could minimize my tasting power and eat it easily , minimizing discomfort. Similarly , protein shakes and Vegetable salads taste terrible too. Then suppose u have eat something u love . Like I love it when mom makes paratha , so I could use all my stored up taste to truly enjoy it Feel It's Like the sensitivity of ur skin right . Like if I'm sitting in a classroom , I usually don't need to feel . So I can store it all up or suppose I have to clean out some muck or something. Then I could store my sense of feeling and clean it up without feeling much. Also suppose I injure myself and it hurts a lot. I could store my skin sensitivity and feel no pain.( Is that possible ??) Then later I could use all this stored up feeling to have mind-blowing sex or like touch a masterpiece statue and really feel and appreciate all the curves and the grainy surface and stuff. Sight Ok , this is hardest to store since u will have deteriorated eyesight while storing. But suppose u r sitting in class and I usually read the mobile which is like at most 0.5 metres away from me , so I can store all the sight beyond a 0.5 meter radius . Similarly u can store sight at home while studying too Then later I can use the stored up sight to like look at the intricate details of near by objects or see far away objects as if I'm holding a binocular. Also is it possible to store colour sensitivity . Like when u are storing , the world will be black and white , but then u can use the stored up color sensitivity to see the world in heightened colour and detail . All different shades and tones of colour , which u are normally blind to ,will be easy to see and stuff. U can use it to look at and really appreciate colourful pieces of art or icecream. Balence and others. There are a total of 11 to 21 senses in humans including Balance . Suppose I could store balance when I'm sitting and later tap it while dancing or doing dangerous stunts I would be an amazing dancer or stuntsman . 4). Brute-ing? , brutening? Usually u don't need much strength while listening to a boring lecture. ( Can u store strength while being stationary and almost immobile ??) So how about I store it then when required like when doing physical labour or during fights. I could become superstrong. Esp if I use this in conjunction with increased weight and speed. 5). Sparking So this is hard to store. U basically become stupid while storing a zincmind. I won't have much opportunity to store it , I guess. I need my wits while reading novels. But I ,and many others, have anxiety right and sometimes have panic attacks and get nervous easily and I overthink . It's not under my control , so during those times I can store up my mental speed and become calm and cool ( and slightly stupid ) . Also useful while meditating. During meditation thoughts are harmful and obstacles right. So suppose I store up my thinking speed then. I can become a master meditator easily. Then u could use the extra thinking power to score high on tests that require critical thinking or analysis. 6). Firesoldering/ Firesouling This seems useless at first but it's actually very useful. Like suppose it's a hot day , u could store all the excess heat and be cool. Then u could use the stored heat to warm urself on a cold day . It's like having a personal air conditioner If u r the restless adventurer type , suppose u wanna cross a desert or climb mount Everest. While crossing the desert u could store up heat and be comfortable. And before climbing mount Everest u could be in front of a fire and store up all the excess heat and use it to warm urself while u r climbing mount Everest , instead of wearing all those *heavy , uncomfortable clothes. 8). Sentry-ing ?? This is harder to store since u will be sleepy while storing . I guess it's *great for insomniacs . U could use this to have a strict schedule of sleeping I guess. Also suppose a class is boring and I can't use my phone either since the particular teacher is very observant, i could store wakefulness then and then later either study all night or party all night . Useful during examtimes i guess 9). Gasping So i just have to breathe a lot to store breath. Easy and then I can go diving for hours and find pearls or save drowning ppl or idk catch fish or something. Can also work in environments where it's hazardous to breathe. Scuba diving becomes a lot easier since I won't have to buy and lug around those cannisters containing helium-oxygen mixtures. Cheaper too , since those cannisters are expensive , right ? Makes climbing mount Everest easier too since u won't require oxygen cylinders . Also I could bet a friend a 1000 rupees that I can hold my breath for 10 minutes and make easy money . 10). Subsuming . This is extremely useful for ppl worried about their weight . This way u can eat as much as u want and never get fat. Also helps u in disguises as u can make urself stick thin or really fat by tapping and storing it ( as per MAG) Basically u can use this to gorge on food and then spend months without eating anything. Helps a lot in survival situations 11). Boneknitting ( I know it's called bloodmaking technically , but boneknitter sounds so much cooler to me ). This is very useful . Basically with enough stored healing u can heal broken bones , regrow limbs , fight all manner of diseases?? , etc. But it's storing the required health that's a real slontze . I don't wanna most of time being sickly and weak. The best method I guess is it only store 10 % or 20 % of health constantly and eventually u will have enough health to recover from lethal injuries. U can use it for daring acts but personally I would keep it as insurance in case of an accident. Also useful to get rid of hangovers after a hard night of partying . Another disadvantage is that is that gold is expensive and vulnerable to theft. I mean , boy oh boy , wouldn't it suck to have years worth of healing in a goldmind, only to have it stolen ? 12). Pinnacling This is the hardest attribute to store . I mean , u require determination for pretty much anything. It's especially hard for ppl suffering from depression . I suppose the best method is again to store only a small percentage of the available resource. Still takes a lot of time and less useful than gold. However ,it would of some use if a sudden , unexpected and hard task or obstacle came up ( which usually do come up ) and u could use the stores to power through it . Same disadvantage as gold. Expensive and theft vulnerability. 13). Spinning This is perhaps the hardest attribute to store. I can't store it in class , since it will make me unlucky and vulnerable to being caught reading novels or comics on phone by the teacher. I think the best way to store it is to hole up in a small , empty space reading a book , wearing old ratty clothes and nothing of any value ,then store it. Then only in small increments so when someone spills coffee on me , it's just lukewarm and not boiling .Still not for me as I read on a phone and it will most definitely malfunction. Yeah this will hard to store in my life , esp since tapping fortune isn't as straight forward as per WoB. But I could use the stored fortune to get out of the occasional tricky situation. 14). Soulbearing Yeah this is probably useless in real life , unless u have access to magic systems other than feruchemy. 15). Trueselfing This may or may not be useful . The author hasn't written much about it , so hard to speak about it's advantages . But maybe it's possible to store detrimental parts of my identity. Like for example maybe it's a part of my identity to be lazy or sad . I could store that part in a Aluminum mind and then throw it away. Then I would no longer be sad or lazy ?? 16). Connecting This is very useful to me. When I am reading comics or novels in class , by storing away most of my connection I could be ignored by the teacher and not disturbed by friends. I can read in peace . Later in break time or after college , I could use the stored up connection to have lots of fun with friends or even make my crushes fall in love with me easily ( yeah ,that's creepy and probably immoral and illegal ) . Could also form trusty relationships as a basis for one night stands and friends with benefits ( Again creepy and immoral ?? The connection manipulation , not the relationships. I'm fine with such relationships. ) So that's all I could come up with. If u have some novel use of feruchemy in ur life or find a complication in one of my applications , please let it be known.
  7. This is perhaps a joke theory. However, it might not. So first: EARTH IS COSMERE. But no, you say, Brandon says over and over again that Earth isn't Cosmere. Ah, but Earth isn't. What? Because Earth is no longer Earth.... It is Shinovar. Let me take you back. So Adonalsium "grows worlds". That is what He did with Roshar. But what is growing? It is building up. You see, Adonalsium built upon Earth to make Roshar. This is why most of Roshar looks nothing like Earth, cremlings, chasmfiends, crem, highstorms. All of that was added. But what part of Roshar looks nothing like the rest? Shinovar. Shinovar has chickens, dirt, strawberries, horses, people without the common epicanthic fold that is shared among most Rosharans. Now don't call me racist for counting that the Shin don't have epicanthic folds as evidence for Earth. But don't you see the similarities here? Shinovar is Earth. Shinovar is Cosmere. Thus, Earth is Cosmere. *mind blown*
  8. So i know the Mistborn series doesn't take place on Earth but it's refereed as Earth on a few occasions. Here's one "“Those quakes are the earth’s final sighs,” Ruin said.From chapter 63 of the third book. I didnt bookmark the other occasions as i read through. What gives? why not just state the planets name. Maybe im just being picky Thanks everyone
