Khmauv Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 So I am rereading the Mistborn trilogy after finishing tWoK I am trying to focus on the little things like Hoid, and I noticed that as the informant that Kelsier talks to he appears as a bald old man while as wit I recall he was young tall and had dark hair though I can't recall for sure. Can Hoid then alter his appearance like Vasher, and I assume all in the royal line as well as the returned, can in warbreaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbSombrero Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well, he is assumed to use an illusion based magic system which would be very close to this, but not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yados Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah, I think that's part of the Lightweaver package. There's mention of him doing something like this in one of the WoK interludes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Being able to create fake versions of himself probably makes Hoid the single most frustrating person in the Cosmere to track. And don't forget about pseudo/notpseudo-Forging. Being able to travel through Shadesmar, who knows what he can do to his cognitive aspect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Feesh Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Given that his appearance in WoA isn't even mentioned in-text as being him, he's VERY good at disguising himself. for those not in the know, he's the Terrisman who convinces Elend and Spook to return to Luthadel, confirmed by Brandon. I know Cosmere theories is a Spoiler-unsafe board, I'm just being polite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 The Seventeenth Shard is quite clearly angry at Hoid for not inviting them to his two-hundredth birthday. He ate all the cake without them. Here's a plot twist: Hoid or somebody else has been using Lightweaving to...I don't know, create the Seventeenth Shard or something. I just want an organization where all the members don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkanimereal1 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Could the lightweaving be similar to what Raoden used before he completely "fixed" the Aon? He could change the air around him, but not completely? Maybe what Hoid is doing is something very similar to how Raoden's magic would work if it were working 100%. In that case, it's not super odd, since we've seen it in practice before, and Lightweaving sounds very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbSombrero Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I just want an organization where all the members don't exist. Kingdom Hearts. I think that's where you should look for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
