PrincessMorpheus Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hoid mentions that he appears wherever he's needed. Could that be the result of a visit to Nightwatcher? A curse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be the result of a visit to Nightwatcher? A curse? We know via WoB that it is related that he knows via Feruchemy. Quote A Memory of Light Chicago signing (Jan. 9, 2013)#16 Share Lamguin (paraphrased) Hoid is regularly around when important events take place. How does he know where to go? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) He uses Feruchemy. Part of it that will show up in later books. Footnote: Brandon has later said that Hoid uses the same underlying principle as Chromium Feruchemy, not necessarily the same thing. #feruchemy #hoid Sources: Lamguin's report - 17th Shard It should be noted however that in more recent WoBs Brandon has said that he never confirmed that Hoid is using Feruchemy. My guess would be that he is using a Yolish version of Feruchemy that is mechanically similar but not exactly the same (think Aon-Dor Lightweaving vs Rosharan Lightweaver or Bloodmaking vs Stormlight Healing). He is likely most likely tapping Fortune. Edited December 28, 2017 by The Sovereign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hoidsense () uses the same underlying mechanic as chromium Feruchemy - which is manipulation of Fortune. He's not using Feruchemy - or at least we do not know he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
