+Invocation Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Why would anyone want to use the Unmade once you had them captured? You run the risk of the gem breaking and the Unmade getting out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that nuclear fallout is and irradiated environments are worse then something that makes battles that are already happening a bit worse. My whole point is that if people think something is going to give them an advantage, they make it. Hell, Dalinar already has Navani studying that Gem. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that nuclear fallout is and irradiated environments are worse then something that makes battles that are already happening a bit worse. I don't think the Thrill makes it a bit worse. For the Thaylens, they weren't able to stop; they didn't want to stop. At least when a nuke goes off, it ends the fighting in that area. Not to mention some of the other Unmade that could also be captured then used to enhance the Thrill and its effects. Capture Moelach and use him to get infinite prophecies/Death Rattles. Whatever Dai-gonarthis does isn't going to help out. Sja-anat could have a ton of spren to corrupt from the effects of the battle. It could very well work out worse than a nuke, especially seeing as Cultivation would probably help with the results of the nuke but likely wouldn't do anything to affect the Unmade out of fear of a strike from Odium. 5 minutes ago, Calderis said: My whole point is that if people think something is going to give them an advantage, they make it. Hell, Dalinar already has Navani studying that Gem. He tells her to study it to try to make more, not to use them in fabrials. Exactly because he doesn't want the Thrill getting back out and using fabrials has a chance to break the gemstone. He makes sure to note not to do anything to damage the gemstone because of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twenty second of the sun Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 What i meant by asking is what would the effect of the fabrial do if it where to be created , not whether or not it should be created. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Well that would depend on the Unmade. A fabrial made from Neragoul would probably work like Rioting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect it to allow for some level of Induced Thrill on a target. Given the restrictions on most fabrials vs their Radiant Counterparts, I doubt it would give you a whole lot of variable control, though the design of the fabrial itself might make a lot of difference, but all of them I image would just be some version of Induced Thrill, and I doubt you'd see the sort of subtly that you can get with Rioting. You could make it internally aimed at the user, and get something akin to a Bane (of DC Comics) where you have a dial to turn the Thrill up or down whenever you want the berserker strength. Or maybe a targeted thing where you can blast an enemy with it to scramble their restraint and tactical thinking. Most likely you'd have a Thrill Bomb that covers the battlefield in the full Red Mist and just causes a massacre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBossanova Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I suspect that if we use voidspren instead, this becomes far more feasible. And we still get the voidish surges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karger Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 The thrill is not actually malevolent and if used judiciously maybe in consort with other emotion fabrials it could prove a tremendous asset in battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikey357 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm sure Taravanginan would love to get his hands on a Moelach Fabrial to tweak his mighty Diagram. A Yelig-Nar Fabrial could make someone the Rosharan version of a Fullborn. Overuse turns you into a Thunderclast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteEmporer Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Here's a thought: would it be possible to use Nerghaul in a diminishing Fabrial? Would you get a fabrial that takes away people's will to fight? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegatorgirl00 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Can perfect gems even be used in creating fabrials? My (admitedly very shallow) understanding of fabrials has anyways been that they relied on Stormlight from the gen for power. I wouldn't be surprised if perfect gems, by their very nature, couldn't be drained in the same way regular gems are drained by fabrials because they don't have the natural leak. @WhiteEmporer I don't think it's that simple. Fabrial type is determined at least partially by gemstone cut. Nergaoul can only be inside a perfect gem, so that's the only type of fabrial you could make with it. Which leads to the question what category of fabrial perfect gems would make, if they'd even work at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenBossanova Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I have wondered if Odium is caught/trapped in a Roshar sized fabrials. The purpose of fabrials might only be to trap him. Ishar or the Aimians might know about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger_reckoning Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Ok, so the thing that really annoyed me about entrapped nergaoul was this: Dalinar: We have trapped Nergaoul in the King's Drop. I want you to study it and see what you can do, Navani. Navani: You know, Gavilar had something just like this. Dalinar: Huh. Dalinar:... Navani:... Dalinar: Well, anyway, you wanna teach me how to read? Seems like Gavilar's black sphere was important enough to warrant a little more conversation.
