Karger Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Can you give us a ballpark estimate of how much mass/energy/investiture the 16 shards started with? Are we talking suns? Galaxies? Does Hoid have an actual endgame at this point or is he just trying to get somewhere and hoping that he can figure it out from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Smedry Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've got one: If a Radiant were to work out while holding stormlight, would he/she grow stronger or stay the same? Would the desire to gain strength be enough of a cue to the stormlight to facilitate that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not desire for change, it's self-perception. If you truly believed, down to your soul, in a specific self-image, that's what you would heal to. Just wanting it, or seeing it as a goal, wouldn't be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmereScholar Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Questions: An Awakener-Allomancer stores breath in metal, then burns it. Can they Breath-compound? If so, will it generate Breath, or just increase the person's heightening? Can a coinshot in a cadmium bubble push on metal outside of the bubble? (I believe it was done out of a bendalloy bubble in Shadows of Self). If so, will the acceleration of the metal outside the bubble appear shockingly high because of the differing rates of time? An infused sphere is placed in an aluminum chamber. Does it stop going dun beyond a certain point (as would happen if stormlight obeyed gas dynamics)? If so, will a surgebinder in an aluminum chamber not leak stormlight below a certain point? Can an allomancer still use their powers normally in an aluminum chamber? Why does Wax not slow down when he increases his weight when falling? Though his acceleration should remain constant, he should slow down temporarily if he indeed conserves momentum. A forger stamps herself to be an ideal candidate for a Lightweaver and bonds a Cryptic, progressing until they have a shardblade by continually renewing her stamp. She forgets to stamp herself one day. What happens to the bond? What about if she restamps herself? If she breaks oaths in a different persona (her true self or someone else), does it count? What if instead, a forger becomes a surgebinder as her true self, then stamps herself? Is the bond interfered with then?

Zelly Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) You've said previously that Kaladin's chapter icon (spears, flag, eclipse-thing) will make sense later. I have a theory, but I'm trying to avoid a RAFO. Can you tell us what colors are on the banner/flag of his icon? Or, if a Fused were to see that flag, would it have meaning to them?

Stormgate Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Is aluminum lacking a spiritual or cognitive aspect? Are the abilities of the different Allomantic metals related to the base effect of the Investiture of other Shards? (life sense for Breaths being like Bronze, physical capacities of Stormlight being like pewter, sand mastery's ability to neutralize tendrils of other sand masters being like either aluminum or chromium, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person could, it's very hard, but it may or may not work properly when the person burned it. An invested thing can be soulcast into something else, like someone could turn a goldmind into another invested metal, but the investiture would be keyed wrong. It sounds like one would break a perfectly good goldmind. It's not clear if the new metal would work properly when burned or not. Soulcasting gold into lerasium may or may result in a a metal that would give mistborn powers. Or that's my understanding of the WoB below. Quote Questioner Can you Soulcast an Invested object? Brandon Sanderson Yes, but it's much harder. But humans are Invested, and you can soulcast humans. Questioner So, suppose you had a goldmind that was filled. And you tried to Soulcast into iron. What would happen to the Investiture inside it? Brandon Sanderson So, the Investiture would remain in there, but it's keyed to the wrong thing, so you wouldn't be able to get it. It'd be much harder to Soulcast that, by the way. The more Invested, the harder it is. But Soulcasters are used to it, because everything has Investiture, and most of what they're Soulcasting. They deal with this, so it's something they're kind of expert at. So, this is not outside reason, that it could happen. You could give it to your average Soulcaster on Roshar, and they could make it happen. You just wouldn't be able to get the Investiture out of it anymore.

I'm pretty sure Adolin takes like 7 heartbeats and I vaguely remember Sanderson being specifically asked this question. I cannot find any further information though so I hope someone can help out.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
