Supreme King Z-arc Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Does Duralumin work with other magic systems? I looked for WoB but I couldn't find anything? If it does it would be the best compounder on a Cosmere scale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recneps Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think that it probably would, but I'm not sure. It seems like a Duralumin-enhanced Lashing could be incredibly potent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how an insanely strong Connection would impact other magic systems, but I don't think it'd be insanely powerful. If someone were to burn Allomantic duralumin while trying to use a surge or similar power, the effects would be....interesting to observe. I don't think it'd do much for Breath or for using the Dor, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Nicrosil might be able to short circuit an Aon(now I'm theorizing the feasibility of coding a Surge Protector into an Aon. This is a rather.. fascinating mental picture) Or I'm vastly overthinking and it might just make Aon Ashe brighter.

Or could it increase connection to the Dor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If increased Connection on Sel led to this, then would the medallions that the Southern Scandrians wear that Connect you to a land lead to increased connection to the Dor or becoming an elantion/forger?

I just didn't picture such interactions as indicative of an interplanetary war or conflict. When it comes to era 4, I've seen things hinted that make it the closing story if the Cosmere. I've seen hat the Sleepless will be involved. That Hoid will be a main character. More offhand comments that make it seem like it will be much crazier like having to wait til era 4 to see a fight between a Radiant and a Mistborn. Beyond little comments though, I've never heard an once of what it's storyline will be beyond "Mistborn space opera." I'm not sure where the interplanetary war thing came from either. Edit: not trying to say that that can't be the case, I'm just curious as to where it came from because other than R'Shara's spoiler tag, I haven't actually seen anything that hints at the story of era 4 beyond it being the end of the Cosmere sequence. And I'm me so if I've missed something I want to see it. Edited February 24, 2018 by Calderis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RShara Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well I mean, we know it'll have FTL. We know it'll have Hoid. And, given it's a story, it will have conflict. I guess it might not get to the point of all out war, but there's definitely going to be space fights, which is close enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see Brandon Sanderson writing space fights. Space battles that don't break five laws of physics per minute are certain to be absolutely awesome.

If Lightweavers had enough stormlight and could manipulate soundwaves, then they could have created the Shattered Plains. Either Division or Lightweaving could have accomplished it, imo.

Or Lightweavers in conjunction with Stonewards. There's a lot of fun ways it could have been done I think Division is more related to "increasing entropy", for lack of a more elegant way of putting it. You burn things that don't normally burn at the temperature there is, you make molecules fall apart while they normally wouldn't, etc (increasing the amount of molecules is always a good way to increase entropy...). Illumination, on the other hand, is described, according to the Coppermind (which got it from an official source but I don't remember where) as "the Surge of Light, Sound and various Waveforms". I don't know how that stuff was called that Kabsal had that could make the patterns of several large cities, but that's been proposed before in regards to the Shattered Plains, and it's a theory I like a lot. If nothing else, I doubt Division would make them symmetrical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, I doubt Division would make them symmetrical. Cymatics. And yes, I agree that it's very likely. I just think that Division possibly could have done the same thing as well. Here's a description of Oh man, spoilers for Oathbringer Spoiler when Malata burned a pattern onto the table in OB. Marks spread out from the point of contact, little swirls of blackness etching themselves into the wood. The scent of burning filled the air, but the flames didn’t persist if she didn’t will them to. The swirls and lines extended across the tabletop, a masterwork of engraving accomplished in moments. Malata blew off the ash. The Surge she used, Division, caused objects to degrade, burn, or turn to dust. I actually think it was a few types of Radiants working in conjunction, so it could have been both.

This is more what I was talking about with the "interplanetary war" comment. Brandon has made some comments that we would get to see users of different magic systems fighting each other later on, and since we have a few immortals running around, there will be familiar faces involved. So some sort of war that involves peoples from different planets, but not necessarily Roshar vs Scadrial vs Sel or anything like that. I want to see some multiethnic groups with in depth knowledge of Realmatics hack the crap out of several magic systems and go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
