ScarletSabre Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Can the Nightwatcher grant a boon that comes from another Shard's magic system? For example, could she make someone into a Zinc Ferring? ..... Like Taravangean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could probably try to imitiate the results (case of Mr.T shows that if somebody asked to be a Sparker there are things that could be done). But I'm pretty sure that without access to another Shard's Investiture she can't do it. Heck, even without these fanciful boons she can't grant anything.

Vissy Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Here's my ultimate question to Brandon and every Cosmere / WoT fan. Will or has Egwene al' Vere be / been reborn into the Cosmere world at any point? ' Cuz that would be pretty epic. I hadn't thought about the Cosmere for like 2 months and all out of the sudden I had a dream tonight about her playing a part in the Cosmere. Something about a flash of light and a woman called Athena. Disregard that, just answer the question. Would it be epic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenod Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 We know that it is possible for steel and iron savants to push/pull on parts of a metal object that aren't the center of mass. The origin of the push is normally the Allomancer's center of mass. Would it be possible for a savant to also change the origin of the push to a different part of the body? This could make for an interesting Allomancer martial arts style using metal weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demiandre Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Has a planet ever been destroyed by a Shard ? I've looked around but I haven't found the question anywhere yet. I don't have any evidence or theory, just a thought about the Cosmere and its history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea for a solution might be.. out there compared to what you were imagining, but you inspired my question: Can you push on metal inside your own body or does the Spiritual Interference stop that too?

Coppermind doesn't really say either way I don't know, I get the idea that it would be the same as trying to get your sailboat to go forward by blowing in the sail using a leaf-blower, the forces would cancel each other out and you would just be wasting metal.

Oversleep Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Does the person doing the spiking have to provide the intent? Excluding Ruin from equation. So let's say I gave my psychopatic friend a steel spike and told him to stab that Allomancer guy I don't like through the heart and as he's murdering him I think really hard about stealing his Allomancy. Do I end up with a spike or not? Or: On 25.11.2016 at 2:33 AM, Dunkum said: what about the person being spiked? like if someone is stabbing me, could it become a spike if I had that intention?

Do I end up with a spike or not? The way I understood it was that you had to intend to make a spike. Meaning that your psycho friend would have to intend to, rather than you intending and providing the spike. It's still a pretty good point to clarify for sure though.

Do I end up with a spike or not? I suspect only a Shard (and possibly only Ruin, or now Harmony) could provide a "third-party Intent" like that, since they'd be directly connected to the magical system involved. If there was some type of Connection (big C) between you and the friend, or victim, or spike, or all of the above, and that allowed it, that would be really interesting information to have.

Oversleep Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) @Dunkum, upvote, also I quoted you and added to my previous question (it helps me when I'm looking for my posts with questions for Brandon ) Another question: If we gave medallion to somebody who's not Metalborn and then tried to spike him for the power that medallion gives, would that work? Another question, important one: Why didn't Sazed reverse Southeners' adaptation to the hotter world during Catacendre?

natc Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Should he have? He's been handholding the north too much as is, plus their adaptations were natural and not due to shardic meddling. Sure, it kind of sucks to be them, but look at where that desperation for progress brought them afterwards? With some meddling from a certain guy, but nothing on the scale of population-wide genetic engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that meddling of a guy that Harmony certainly did not want meddling they would all freeze to death. Period. When he arrived they were on the brink of death having burned pretty much everything they found burnable. And if that certain guy stayed the way Harmony wanted... There are whole topics dedicated to the relationship between Scadrians and Harmony but nobody is saying that he should have made Southern lands fertile like he did with the Basin or dropped on them all the knowledge they could want or heal them from every possible disease like he did with Northeners et cetera et cetera. If he did not want to interfere with them, fine, leave them be. Just make sure the changes he did to the world are not killing a whole hemisphere full of people. Just reverse the adaptiation to the hot world and nothing else.

Harmony could've figured they'd be fine as a population for all we know. Sure, civilization would likely crumble and most of them dead. But hey, nothing new for them after the first orbital shift.
