Ravioli

From Braid_Tug "Oh, this was from the first signing, so not recorded. We asked Brandon about gem cutting tech levels on Roshar. He hedged some. But did let us know that while it was still labor intensive, it was not as bad as Renaissance Europe. That yes, they do have an edge. But would not state what the edge was. Even with us making jokes about Shard scalpels to make the cuts."

Rubies are Red Sapphires are Blue Now Shut Up and Sit Still So I Can Soulcast You

I'm hordeling number 4633, I like being part of the eye, but sometimes I do my own thing.

Hi Page, For the first point, I mean that Endowment's Investiture gives an object the ability to do things it would normally not but would be within its means. For example, a cloth could feasibly lift something if used that way. It is an extension of what it is. Breath grants the cloth the ability to achieve that possibility. Does that make sense? Second, the way he said "The way you actually mean it", makes it sound like it's *not* the explanations you gave. Unless of course he's eaten a kandra

So, after finally getting someone to ask this for me, we got this WoB. Having gotten this answer, it made me wonder, what caused Ruin's Investiture to seep in? If that's how the WoB is meant to be understood. I decided that it was because Endowment's Investiture can't actually do anything on it's own. It only gives things the capacity to do things. Awakening gives an object the ability to do more than it normally can. Holding Breath makes an individual have greater capabilities than they had before. Endowment can only grant capacity, it is up to the object to execute. Ex. It can't materially affect the physical world or be used to alter physical states. But it gives an object or person the capacity to do things they otherwise would not be able to do. This also would explain why only Endowment's Investiture was insufficient to fulfill the "Destroy Evil" command. Because Investiture is universal, something else rushed in to fill that gap, Ruin's Investiture. Thoughts?

Some stuff that I got on the signing line talking to Isaac that you can hear snippets of on @Argent's recording. Sadly it is paraphrased. Isaac says that Nazh is an embodiment of his adventurous spirit, that he expresses through the books. Nazh is also much grumpier than he is and gets visibly angry when Isaac himself wouldn't. He doesn't remember Nazh had a mistcloak Nazh is basically a young Peter Capaldi and is very prone to swearing when he is off screen. He clarified that Nazh was caught spren fishing because he was trying to attract a spren to be his stooge and do some work for him. He got in trouble for it because he didn't know that was illegal. We have audio for his relationship with Khriss. I also was able to ask Brandon a question offhandedly but it wasn't recorded. @Bridge_Ojisan Wanted to know how old Gaz was. Brandon said he is early to mid 30s, so around Jasnah's age.

I shall be attending!!

I'll be there.

In honor of the new Wreck-It Ralph trailer.

Awoken action figures.

I don't really see anyone attacking or insulting you. They're not getting any more heated than you are. How about we all just step back and understand that sometimes we might not agree, even in a fundamental sense.

If we did, it wouldn't be a secret!

Well, the day has passed, so I think we're good for a year until someone else steals it.

So, someone is stealing some of the Valentine's from here and putting them on FB. Yay success??

Sorry to necro, but just thought of a new one. I am a sap, I know. Dear Navani, Roses are red, Violets are blue, I learned how to write, Just to send this to you. Love, Cool Dalinar.

I think Axies is more concerned with what conditions cause a spren to appear/ what attracts them to the physical realm. Also, remember that some spren are rarer in Shadesmar. Syl said that they almost never see windspren there. So, if Axies is doing it out of scientific interest/boredom, the Physical Realm is the place to be.

I thought about it, but Amaram kind of messed up the flow.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Roshone is trash, and Moash is too.

Yes.

Wow Cal, thanks.

However, spren also have a physical presence. Invested bacteria and viruses seem to have some sort of sapience it seems in order to actively try to promote transference.

So you're saying that the bacteria would fit the general definition of spren but not the definition that we've come to see as spren? Or are you saying something different? As to your third point, I don't think the diseases would be mutually exclusive from spren, but it also could be proof that there were none. Hmmm, yeah, we obviously need to get that story! I really do wonder why none of those diseases came with them to Roshar then...

Hey everyone, with Valentine's Day coming up, I thought it would be fun to post Stormlight Valentine's cards! All pairings and concepts allowed, but please no arguing. Text or images welcome! I'll start with some I came up with for OB. Have fun!!! (Hidden in spoilers because long)

I am not proud of this.... I'm actually proud of this one.
