WindDancer Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Snapping was originally caused by trauma or damage. Then Harmony changed the process of snapping. How? What did he actually do? Now what has to happen to cause one to snap? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Snapping was and is caused by extreme conditions, it could happen when your Soul is cracked. This happen mostly after a trauma because it is more likely but you could Snap after feeling a great happiness or similar situations that still crack the souls. The only thing Harmony did is to lower the threeshold need to Snap, so now it's more easy to reach (how he performed this is unknown) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modal Seoul Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Well, I guess you Snap now by breaking a toy or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy92 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Actually what Harmony did was release mobile phones equipped with Snapchat so that all of Scadrial could start snapping more frequently. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made the threshold easier to reach because he wasn't a fan of people beating their children to see if they were Allomancers. Quote Fyodor32768 (14 November 2011) In Alloy of Law are people still Snapping? Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011) Sazed chose to alter the way Snapping works. It bothered him. It does happen, but differently. Kchan How does Snapping work after Sazed changed it? If you don't want to reveal it all right now, are there any hints you can give us? Brandon Sanderson He couldn't get rid of this entirely. I don't want to spoil things, but Snapping was built into Allomancy primarily because of larger-scale magical issues. This is getting deep into the issue, but it has to do with a person's spiritual makeup and a 'wounded' spirit being easier to fill with something else, kind of like a cut would let something into the bloodstream. Sazed made this threshold on Scadrial much easier to obtain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
