Steeldancer Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 What deep secrets of hoid would be revealed? What would he have been? I know nobody is going to have true answers, but I wonder if maybe his funky spiritual aspect would mess things up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptorian Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Perhaps you'd get a malatium-shadow explosion, cosmetically similar to when two people use atium at each other? I figure he's so old and has had so many chances to remake himself, the normal two shadows would be insufficient. Follow up question, what happens if you burn malatium at a shardvessel? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinsukolo Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Possibly same answer for both of them... you witness the Shattering and then possible alternate outcomes of who picked up what or how the Shards shattered (different intents). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldancer Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 But what if you burned malatium at the shard itself? Not the shardholder. Adonalsium revealed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Secret History, Leras implies that Hoid turned against them for some reason. If he hadn't, that seems like one plausible outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not cannon yet, but..Hoid's origin story in Liar of Partinel, describes what, in my opinion, would most likely be the greatest single turning point in his life: Failing a bid for control of his clan and being taken in, civilized, and taught lightweaving by his master (also named Hoid). If you burned malatium while looking at Hoid, I'd speculate that you'd see a wildman of the forest who knew nothing of the Cosmere, Investiture, or any of the other scholarly pursuits he enjoys now. Compared to the wily, spacefaring, immortal wizard he's become, that would be pretty haunting to see side-by-side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The malatium shadow explosion makes sense to me given his knowledge and (potential) world effecting abilities. Imagine if he had chosen to share his Realmatic knowledge with any main character of any of the worlds he visited? I think (this would be assuming the person burning the metal has the ability to comprehend what they are seeing, or simply process this vastly overloading wealth of information) this maybe have some adverse effects on the malatium burner...

Or, it could end up like Kel when he looked through the tendrils of the future. It just overloads him, even Fuzz has trouble reading those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+robardin Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 How about if Hoid could be forced somehow to burn Allomantic gold? Heck, what would Era 2 Marsh experience from burning gold? Or Vin Era TLR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podman Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Ummm... Vin did burn gold. In FE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necessary Eagle Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 ^I think robardin meant to put a dash there. Vin-Era TLR. As in, The Lord Ruler in the era of Vin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
