Posted February 17, 2016 So, I was just at the Orem B&N signing, and I asked Brandon if burning copper or wearing an aluminum hat would affect subliminal messaging. His answer? (Paraphrased) "It would only affect it if it were through Cosmere-based means, and even then it would be of dubious effectiveness." Thoughts? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2016 Well of course mundane hypnosis or suggestion probably works. Copper is paired to bronze, so it probably deals with investiture in some way, and senses relating to investiture. So direct affects on your consciousness using investiture, like emotional allomancy, are blocked, but if someone did something like try to make subliminal suggestions using lightweaved images or telepathic conversations (Ruin . . .) the copper would likely do absolutely nothing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 19, 2016 Hm... Do we know if copper could detect surgebinding? If you are referring to bronze, it has been confirmed by WoB that it could detect other forms of investiture, but it is very difficult and takes practice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
