  1. I actually really like the bit about Adolin restoring Maya ala voidbinding but needing Sja-Anat's help. One of the corrupted Spren even goes so far as to thank Sja-Anat for the Eyes she gave them IIRC. Edited to add the quote: Page 287 Hardcover. A corrupted Spren is thanking Sja-Anat: "Thank you, Mother", he said. "Thank you for my eyes". There is definitely a link there.
  2. I just find it unlikely that without Sja-anat's touch they won't be able to create the enlightened spren in large enough quantities. But I guess its a possibility considering the weirdness of their specific bonds.
  3. So now that we have confirmation that shardplate is made of lesser spren this opens up the question as to how its going to be handled for Knights bonded to a Sja-anat spren. Are they going to just use normal spren? Will they require more corrupted spren to be made for their plate to be formed? Is it individual to the Radiant as to which of the above? Based on what we see with Kaladin it does seem to take _alot_ of spren to form the plate. Thoughts?
  4. Ralkalest (Aluminum) is different from Raysium, so you dont have to worry about that.
  5. Were there not ruby veins connecting the "heart" of urithiru to the rest of it? I always assumed those were acting like pipes to transfer the storm light. In that case I guess it's less like piping but more like filling one giant gemstone. Aluminum pipes may work and it is a very neat idea! Do we have a WoB about what would happen if investiture was stored in a sealed aluminum container?
  6. Love this and makes sense with him being a bond Smith. I know theories of him holding both Honour and Odium have existed but has there been any speculation that he ends up with cultivation as well? Its total tinfoil hat territory but I can see the balance that Honor would bring Odium being Cultivated into something positive being possible.
  7. Questioner What is the most Invested item so far revealed? Brandon Sanderson What counts as an item? Questioner Inanimate object. Sentient swords, stuff like that. Brandon Sanderson Okay, inanimate objects, would be Nightblood. Well-- is he inanimate? Questioner Well, he's a sentient sword, but he's an inanimate object. Brandon Sanderson So, yeah, he would count. So after rereading the WoB I think I answered my own question. I'm assuming a shard would not be considered inanimate.
  8. Is a Shard considered Invested? And if so does this mean that Nightblood is _still_ the most invested thing in the cosmere?
  9. I don't think a spike has to go through the heart to take a henalurgic charge, and in fact I think we have a few WoBs on the subject. I am on my phone and can't find them atm but I am pretty sure Brandon has said the heart isn't necessary, that hemalurgy doesn't need to kill the donor and that if you survived being the donor you would be like a stab but worse. We won't know many specifics until it's covered (hopefully) in future novels
  10. First off I would like to point out, that no one has mentioned that it wasn't taln's choice to go back. He died. He may very well have suggested the others give it up, he may have done the same thing had he not died. Just because he endured for so long doesn't mean he would have if he had the choice. Also I like what @Figberts and @Radiant_Jaeger are getting at. Perhaps the oathpact can't be broken. They have been undergoing torture this entire time to the point of them going insane, and in many cases against what they stand for. The realization in a moment of lucidity would be pretty torturous on top of it all. Seems kind of like a self fullfiling prophecy almost (might not be the right term)
  11. It has been a while since I played DnD 5e and I wasn't able to read through your whole right up but from what I saw it looks good. Well done OP. As much as I love crafty games/mistborn pen and paper I feel they would have been more successful going down the OGL route and using something like 3.5/pathfinder. I feel the rules would have allowed cooler combat and it would be easier to turn it into a corner pen and paper in the long run. If you want to take a stab at homebrewing a cosmere 5e I think you would be met with great success! I may even be able to help!
  12. Could it not be alloyed with other God metals, such as tanavastium to obtain an effect similar to alloying it with viable allomantic metals?
  13. That's a good question. I can't search for any WoBs at the moment but I don't recall seeing one that answers this. Would love to see what he has to say on it.
  14. I wonder if that line has anything to do with the title of Shadows of self?
  15. I am going to keep this in mind during the rest of my reread. Thanks for the help man!
  16. @The One Who Connects I missed both of those so that blows that theory up. Still thinking ambition is tied to sel somehow
  17. Also why in every topic do any comments I post after a spoiler still end up in the spoiler? Tis very annoying.
  18. @The One Who Connects yeah it glitches and I am not sure how to remove it. Yes I have a theory forming that ambition fled to sel ando merged. Could be why Odium when after Devotion and ND opinion afterwards. I couldn't find any WoB that states the Dor is just Devotion and dominion. And ah yes my bad I forgot about that detail with the ire. That being said the shades as cognitive shadows is very similar to Post Reod Elantris. Also Emperors soul spoilers:
  19. So I am rereading elantris for the first time in probably about 6 years, and I discovered an interesting sentence. I am not sure eif this has been mentioned before so I am sorry if this is old news. On page 41 when Hrathen is talking to Dilaf: He would be Hrathren's slave, if that slavery would carry him higher. It was a very Fjordell thing to do - ambition was the one emotion Jaddeth would accept as readily as devotion. This makes me think that perhaps devotion and ambition aremail connected in some way. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Ire worried about shades? This is all over the place and I apologize but I had to post to see if anyone else had caught that before.
  20. I have a feeling that if he could draw on power from the medallions/bands he would just draw the raw investigate out to fuel himself. Don't think he would have access to the powers
  21. @Weltall the cognitive aspect might actually help, if the allomancer knows he has the ettmetal inside of him he should theoretically be able to burn it with out having to burn the protective casing. There is still a lot of risk though as it could start reacting if the protective casing is burned away by stomach acid. That being said I am sure once technology advances a bit more, specifically chemistry, scientists will be able to find/create a solution that can be used to safely store and (hopefully) ingest the ettmetal. I think the protective layer of metal is a solid theory and could be used for all 3 metallic arts. But that is going off personal feeling not in world evidence. We know very little about ettmetal so who knows. Side theory: Ettmetal has no use in the metallic arts and only works in the ways we have seen. It was made like that by harmony (don't know if he actually had a hand in that part) to bring the metallic arts to everyone of scadrial, thus creating a kind of magical balance in society, or a magical societal balance (harmony)
  22. we really don't know enough to say for sure
  23. @Spoolofwhool Thats what I was trying to imply. He has enough power to safely dump a bunch of investiture in the form of ettmetal. It seems likely that he would do that as it will clearly help advance the tech, which fits nicely with Harmony's MO
  24. @Oversleep Is it possible for Saze to Invest faster than a normal shard? He made the Basin too fertile for them so maybe He made his shardpool with a super high yield rate to help people? I mean being a combo shard means he could probably afford to lose the extra power.
