Jondesu Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 If you put two identical pieces of metal on scales and confirmed they weighed the same amount, and then had a Feruchemist fill one of them (let's say to whatever max he/she could, or else for a set period of time like 8 hours), would the one that had a charge in it weigh more?

In our universe, we have two quantities: matter and energy. Cosmere has three: matter, energy and Investiture. So I think that Investing things is not actually changing their physical properties.

Brightlord M. Alhstrom Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) 17. Have we seen a human (and I don't count Kandra here) off Scardial who is spiked by a hemalurgically charged spike? 18. In Warbreaker, is there a hemalurgically charged spike piercing Tonk Fah body? (If yes) Is it charged with the Feruchemical ability of a Pewter Ferring? 19. Have any of the Heralds been spiked with a hemalurgically charged spike? 20. Do you have a good term to differentiate between the two meanings of "spiking" someone? Spiking someone through the heart to hemalurgically charge a spike, and Spiking someone with a previously charged hemalurgical spike to give them an ability. Is there a term for when you are doing so to transform someone (say into a Koloss?) Edited August 6, 2017 by Lord Maelstrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but we don’t know for sure, and they’re still interconnected in many ways. This came from a topic about why Nightblood is considered heavy by everyone we see pick him up (though in that case I don’t think the Investiture is doing much, if anything, to affect it’s weight).

Mistborn era 1 has at least 2 or 3 examples of this. even excluding Kandra, Koloss, and inquisitors, both Vin and Spook get spikes at some point, off the top of my head. there are probably a couple others that we see too, but I'd have to dig more to find those.

Thanks for the save. Just that he says we have seen Hemalurgy off Scadrial, but we also know that there are Kandra worldhoppers, and we suspect that the "hairpin" in Mraize's hideout is in fact a hemalurgical spike. This is just to try and confirm that when he said "Hemalurgy" he meant people who are under the influence and benefit of Hemalurgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciridae Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Are the 'thick hairpins' in Mraize's trophy room kandra blessings? Mraize is a self proclaimed hunter, I'm sure he'd rather hunt a potentially dangerous shape shifting secret agent than visit a world and bring back some old metal bits that wouldn't have any significance to him personally.

PunSpren Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 My wife asked this question yesterday at Gencon "Does harmony have Straff Venture's Atium" Which was based off this question in the ultimate list. "Straff tells Zane he’s buried a cache of atium where only he knows. Shortly thereafter, he dies. Did Straff retrieve it? Was he lying? Did Ruin find it and metabolize back a tiny bit of his own power? Did Harmony eventually find it? Or is there a little bit more atium left in the world than we realize?" The paraphrased answer was this Brandon: " Harmony has everything he needs, but that doesn't answer your question, No Harmony does not have Straff's Atium" That could means there is a little more Atium hidden away during the later eras! I know it doesn't answer all off the question in the ultimate list, but it helps ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't. But we suspect that the reason he is still alive in AoL is because he is compounding Atium. So even if he didn't know how to Compound in WoA and HoA, we figure that he knows how to compound by the time AoL rolls around. That's where Atium comes in. PS: Do we have a WoB telling us that Marsh is compounding Atium to stay alive? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already found out myself though, by checking HoA a week ago. This came up after a discussion in another thread where no one could find information on Marsh and his Steel. But thanks anyway!

Andy92 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Can a Radiant that doesn't have the surge of Transformation still Soulcast using a fabrial? Or do you end up with some odd effects since the Radiant would have bonded a spren of their own, and the fabrial would contain a trapped spren? I know Radiants hear screams from dead spren Shardblades, but I wasn't sure if spren trapped in a gemstone would cause something similar to that effect or not.

Soulcaster fabrials use some mechanism we are not yet aware of. They are an ancient type that don't use the modern method of trapped spren. They just need gemstones of the proper type to function.

Ah I forgot about the difference between the ancient and modern fabrials. The fabrial soulcasting is probably one of my bigger gray areas of Roshar magics. I was looking up stuff on them today and started getting curious about how the whole spren trapping thing really worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: Do we have a WoB telling us that Marsh is compounding Atium to stay alive? Thanks for getting to the explanation before I did. We have one where Brandon implies it, but doesn't say so outright. Quote CHAOS How long is the lifespan of an Inquisitor? BRANDON SANDERSON It depends on the powers they're given. Some burn up quickly, and others are extended. In general though they do tend to have slightly longer lives. Since Marsh has the missing bag of atiums he's going to be around for a while. Edit: Heh, "bag of atiums." Also, on the topic of the post, I would like to know if kandra can create structures such as venom glands, gills, or leathery hide?
