Does anyone know international release dates for th harcover memory of light? South Africa specifically. Be nice to know now whether I should just bother to order it online. Beebing kindle is supposed to be under a minute. Not three months.

isnt that what hemalurgy does?

the only problem is that allot of these superpowers in the series are a lot more usefull. ferromancy [sp?] may allow you to attract bad luck, but you can use the stored good luck when you need it.

while I'm no expert or anything, weight has nothing to do with how fast you fall. its the drag caused by the air that decides it. I believe its mentioned in alloy itself.

thanks.

don't have that chart in my copy. is there anywhere else I can find it?

or it might just mean that gavilar thinks his brother is a surgebinder and finding the ideals would turn him onto the path of a radient. thats my take on it.

if I had to guess i would say its the Ideals.

I disagree with it interpreting what its owner says its basic camand is to obey. If the basic command defines its personality than making its basic command be okay would probably remove al independence. it would require a certain amount of babysitting, but so does nightblood in its current state.

On the first point I mean that a semisapient being would be able to think, but wouldnt have morals or the ability to understand evil. so if given a command to destroy evil it would kill anyone it assumes is evil. 2.what? how the hell would a sword be able to remove a mouth. maybe a pair of needles and thread. but a sword? that said giving a sword a command to "obey" wouldn't really have a morals clause attached to it. becuase assuming that the sword wouldn't be able to understand human morality, it would be up to the weilder to decide what it does. I can see how this could be abused by the weilder, but would having a sword that can kill anyone who goes near it be any better? the best thing to do would be to not create one in the first place. but if one ius created I'd rather want to tell it to shut up than listen to constant nagging about destroying "evil".

I wonder if a command such as 'obey the wielder" would've worked. the sword is semisapient so it should be able to understand the command and would remove all problems of independence. on another note, I wonder what would happen if endowment [the shard] used one of those superbreaths on an inorganic object. would it be able to understand concepts such as evil? actually I wonder if it were possibly for a returned to give a superbreath to an object instead of healing. it might be that the duty they've decided to come back for is fighting evil by figuring out a way to make a sword that understands what evil is.

I wouldnt be surprised if both were fake. but that would mean surgebinding is more common than it seems to be.

odd, my copy calls them Ideals. makes sense. I wonder if the historic name for the oathstone [or whatever its called] is a voidstone or voidshard. I guess it would be possible, but brandon saying he is something different makes it unlikely. at least in my opinion.

I'm not entirely certain the parshendi are the bad guys of the story. when rescuing brightidiot [in that specifc incidance at least] dalinar from the betrayal kal specifically says that the parshendi were going easy on the wounded members of the crew defending the bridge.He even refuses to go on the offensive agains them [at most protect dalinar on the field]. they have acted with more honour then the alethi and the alethi still get their eyes burned out.

From what I understood from the book and ars arcanum the soulcasting properties are separate to the body focus. Emerald makes plants which has nothing to do with hair except they are both organic., nd if I remember correctly amethyst is metal, so it has even less to do with nails. Of course I may be wrong.
