happyman Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Put conjoined rubies on 2 telegraph machines. If you don't have electricity, that's actually a very good idea. Aren't those called spanreeds, and aren't they used for communication that's actually much more subtle than the telegraph ever was? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepene Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Tap iron while giving yourself a partial lashing up. Store pewter and put on shardplate. Awaken carpet to "fly to work" You could probably make a carpet walk to earth, but as far as I am aware they can't fly. They adopt humanoid forms from the cognitive archetypes stored in the spiritual realm or from their own memories of being human, not avian forms. Plus the physics of flying would be rather difficult without a huge carpet. Edited December 6, 2012 by Nepene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wrote up a frighteningly long reply to this, but then I realized that it was so awesome that it deserved its own thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windrunner Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Aren't those called spanreeds, and aren't they used for communication that's actually much more subtle than the telegraph ever was? Spanreeds are made of a type of fabrial, known as a coinjoiner, so "coinjoined rubies" is actually an apt phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A conjoiner, you mean -- "coinjoined" must be two coins half-melted together 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windrunner Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Nope, when I said conjoined, I meant conjoined. It's an adjective not a noun, and is used in TWoK. Conservation of force is maintained; for instance, if one is attached to a heavy stone, you will need the same strength to lift the conjoined fabrial that you would need to lift the stone itself.

I hazard that Holmes was kidding there, Windrunner. You misspelled "conjoiner" the first time, writing it "coinjoiner."

Lady_Yasha Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I can honestly say I haven't There's a lot you could do with Awakening that'd turn any scene into a Beauty and the Beast moment; just animate a wardrobe to flatten people and a candlestick to set someone's backside alight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Awaken the corpse of Monty Python's Black Knight, or anything that lacks the ability to move or be useful in any way but will hold your breaths forever. Awaken a headless monkey Use lashings to turn the pages on your book Use lashings to push keys (I just realized lashings require physical contact. Duh. Twice as useless now.) Soulcast a gem into stone (Not sure if that's possible, but if so, who would?) Convert the air in a sealed room to smoke Burn and store things like pewter at the same time Tap and fill a metalmind at the same time Store identity and then throw away the metalmind Make your lenses into retro-reflectors, so they'll hit you no matter which way you put them on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branf Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Use a shardblade to cut your toenails. Or your fringe, not only pointless but incredibly dangerous. I also like the idea of using a shard blade to carve a Sunday roast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Using lashings to spoonfeed yourself. Or better yet, using soulcasting to repeatedly dismantle and recreate a spoon to spoonfeed yourself. Not only difficult but a total waste of gems and stormlight! Yeah! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turos Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Tap breath so I can sing with my head underwater. Awaken a glass of water to drink itself. Awaken some object with all my Breaths and order it to tear itself apart. Some actual cool things to do: A diminishing fabrial that makes you deaf while sleeping. An augmenter fabrial for improving sight. Ironpull while tapping weight to make cool metal sculptures or buildings. Poison all of your food when you find a rodent infestation, then burn gold while eating and digesting. Storing your breath so you can sing opera songs and make that last note REALLY long. Also good for burping competitions. Tap memories to 'cheat' on a test. Store weight so you can sit on an uncomfortable chair comfortably. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
