  1. Ok in the last two months I have listened to the Stormlight books three or four times, and I noticed something interesting. This is kind of a two part thought. Radient powers, specifically soulcasting, appear to be tied to the type of gemstone the light came from, just like their fabrial counterparts But this changes if the radiant breathes in the power. It can then be used for anything. Jasnah requires a garnet to soul cast the poison from Shallan's blood ( presumably to avoid revealing herself) but at the battle of Thaylan Fields she is soul casting stone fire and oil without a care. Sure there are other things to take account of there but I don't think those circumstances would remove the rules just catalyze the process. Personally I think Jasnah is swearing oaths off screen allowing her to be less restricted. (In WoK she had to use the right stones, but by the time of the Oathbringer she had progressed to be able to use her own light.)
  2. So I was working on a theory and noticed that the first five books are the Windrunners are the three orders connected to them (Lightweavers, Bondsmiths, and Skybreakers. We can even throw Edgedancer in there too.) and the one order not connected to any of those four ( Willshapers). Has this been noticed before? If so are there theorys associated with this?
  3. Did anybody else see this news story? https://ksltv.com/430805/mysterious-radio-signal-from-space-is-repeating-every-16-days/?fbclid=IwAR0DbPx-Y0vwB04XlulsPYUnHnngcmPzHJVWxXwe6Yzc4QGhYveQ9-p7Ch4 Makes me wonder if Preservation was trying to contact us.
  4. ... I may not have broken a chicken... but getting lost is my specialty, though only at dusk and dawn. Yes, i have read them a few times. I actually have 1-4 from both publishers
  5. I read the last page before i got there the honest way... and i make others do the same. I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON.
  6. Does the use magic consume smoke? does it use smoke as a medium? does the type of smoke matter? enough for those questions ask yourself what do you want the magic to accomplish? having magic just to have it is not a good reason for it. but maybe it gives the good or bad guys an edge (this would lend itself to augmentation type magic (pewter and TIn) or does it provide/overcome obstacles (power set like iron, and steel?) and if i were you avoid illusions to over done with smoke
  7. So there is a phenomenon in our world that is tied to quantum mechanics that actually breaks the speed of light in involves entanglement theory. Any physicists out here please feel free to correct me but the conept goes that you take a pair of particles that are entangled and no matter how far apart you separate them anything that one of them does the other will reflect it instantly does matter if they are 10 miles or ten thousand light years if yours says state 1 the other also says state 1. Now practical applications for this is not really possible yet on earth, BUT i remember Sanderson saying this was part of the source matteral for span reeds. As such i believe it is truly instantly (In Cosmere terms: The connection between the reeds is Spiritual so time and space are meaningless and speed of light doesn't matter.) EDIT: See WIkipedia: Quantum entanglement Also https://wob.coppermind.net/basic_search/?query=spanreed WOB span reed communications FTL
  8. The rude patron takes the pie, then asks, "Is this dairy free, nut free, gluten free, chull free, and voidspren free? Today I only eat things if it was a bother to make it. BTW Cookies aren't evil but only the dark side has them... that make you at least partially dark... you use dark chocolate chips in them don't you! see i told you they were dark side cookies."
  9. A new patron enters, immediately obvious is the lack of an Ookla mask, ignoring the doctor and spiked patron he approaches the counter, "Do you make cookies? I don't trust any cookies! Only the dark side has cookies, everybody knows this... but pie is better anyway. Do you have Pie? I make awesomely Harmonious pies. If you would like i can make Odious ones too..."
  10. What books have you read (primarily Sanderson but other are important too)? How did you get into Sanderson? And welcome to the shard. I don't do the cookies they are unhealthy ... pie is better anyway, on hand right now i have some apple, pecan, sweet potato or buttermilk ...
  11. Besides Pie is better and mine only has a few shells for you airsick lowlander types.
  12. Oh yes please i would love this please add me to the drawing.
  13. WoB is that TLR would have made a ok Skybreaker. Kelsier would have been a Dustbringer Sazed would have been a good Bondsmith Elend i see as a windrunner. Vin... maybe a lightweaver, but she is a bit hard. She would have enjoyed being an edgedancer as well
  14. Although transgenderism could be interpreted as a "disorder" this is too simplistic. I believe stormlight healing has more to do with bringing physical and cognitive in harmony with spiritual (identity) then just a physical/cognitive alignment. As we see with Lopen's arm regrowth from WoR gender swapping is not outside the realm of impossibility Those who are physically Gender A but feel, and/or perceive themselves as gender B, C, or D exist on a wide spectrum. Some may accept this dichotomy and it has become their identity to live with the dysphoria to those who reject it and actively seek to change it by surgical, chemical, or psychological means. as such every person would react slightly differently to stormlight and the changes it brings.
  15. This has been observed previously BUT i didn't follow the discussion on possible meanings.
  16. I agree with @Wreith that the Soul never actually left the physical form or if it did it was recalled by the healers PRIOR to going beyond (think Sezth and Nale just on a smaller less impressive scale). I would suspect a stamp could animate a corpse similar to the BloodSealer but nothing in the book implies Shai's power could recall a soul or reanimate the dead in such a way that it could act without orders.
  17. Rock shoos away an ardent who is drawing the tattoos. That is Nazh I am not sure exactly what pieces are his, but some of the maps and other cosmere pictures are confirmed to be his work.
  18. Also note that in WoK and WoR Szeth has the Honorblade that grants Windrunner abilities. I don't think we have actually seen him use Skybreaker powers yets.
  19. THANK YOU! I wonder if the opposite is also true then. So my initial thought that cross-Investiture use would be similar to cross regional use of appliances is reasonable.
  20. Ah! @robardin I completely agree with you. The normal use of Allomancy would work on Roshar (or anywhere) without issue. My previous comments were on how Vin super-powers Allomancy with the Mists directly. Allomancers would not be able to use stormlight the same way, and Surgebinders would not be able to use the mists to power their surges (or breath, or Taldianian Sunlight) even if they somehow brought their spren with them. Now if you found the right hack all options are likely possible. As before any Allomancer with their metals can go and come from any world without issue. they just would need a hack to super-charge off world. Surgebinders on the otherhand will need both stormlight and their spren to use their powers without major hacks (still might need a major one to get the spren off world) but if they did get their spren and few infused spheres off world I suspect there would be no differences in their powers. Though the WOB about Aons going to Roshar granting different Surges could be interpreted to imply there would be differences on each world,
  21. @Kat Kfir I don't know if there is one. a couple ahead of me at the Unbounded Signing asked something about if the JoSeun were Korean the answer was yes, at least the in book version. The JoSeun empire that invaded the rest of the world was from Koreo which is the alternate Korea and word Joseun appears to come from a Korean state. Besides that Sanderson served an LDS mission in Korea. ok found the right spelling "Hallandren" in Warbreaker (not hadrian how did i miss the L's)
  22. There is an “Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook” out already. Also many series’ companion guides have recipes in them I know “A Dragonriders Guide to Pern” has a few. These might good resources. Rithmatist: The cuisine is Korean Fusion NOT Chinese, Japanese, or Thai fusion. Rosharian gender appropriate foods: Maybe start with the difference between the Sweet-and-Sour and Hot-and-Sour sauces common in Chinese-American dishes. Mistborn: I get the feeling this is a northern European industrial revolution type cuisine. Try looking up what was popular in England and Germany during the 1700-1850 time frame. For the core framework. White Sand: Obviously Middle Eastern and North African influence here, but I don’t think many dishes are mentioned Hadrian: I think Caribbean influence would be a good starting point and fuse it with Brazilian and African Coastal influence. No idea for Elantris proper. With so many cultures on Sel you might be able to go anywhere. Maybe Thai for Mai-Pon?
  23. I'm in already doing a lot of prep work for my world
  24. Kelsier ALWAYS was meant to be involved reread Well of Ascension and Hero of Ages are you will see his touch. Secret History wasn't just an after thought is was telling us the behind the scenes story that was already in place. now not al of us guessed he was still around and kicking but the clues are there.
  25. I wasn't trying to say they weren't portable BUT just as you said Preservation powers the Metalic arts and as such i don't think one could use Stormlight to do so. I suspect if you could get your spren off world you could use surges anywhere as well ... if you also need the stormlight though.
