FishyLD Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (Note - I have no idea if this has been asked already) What if, in Warbreaker, somebody used the Royal Locks as their color fuel for awakening? What colors would it change to after that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 So far as we have seen(and I remember its been a wile between now and Warbreaker) people do not draw power from their skin color with the exception of Nightblood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cut off the Royal Locks, they can then be used to fuel Awakening, and I think they would be a really good fuel.

Karger Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 ^^^ You would also get pretty hungry regrowing that hair though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns food into Awakening color, then. Huh, well I'd say that's one way to lift my spirits. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishyLD Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Would you even need to cut it off because hair is dead? Would it grow back with color? That's what I'm asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ark1002 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I think it's spiritually part of you, as Wayne regrew his hair when his entire body got burnt (I think) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm asking. The Royal Locks are a little different. They're still somewhat alive until they've been detached from the scalp. Quote WeiryWriter Does hair that is still attached to a person's head get cut if a Shardblade passes through it? If not, if that person had the Royal Locks could they change the color of the hair "below" the cut? Brandon Sanderson Yes, hair gets cut. It counts as dead in my mind--but not to someone who has the Royal Locks. They could only change below, as you state, and wouldn't get their hair chopped off. (I'm not 100% sure on this, but I Think I've mentioned in Stormlight before that you can cut things like shells on living animals with a Shardblade, but then it doesn't cut the flesh.) /r/books AMA 2015 (March 12, 2015) The WoB is a little confused/confusing, but I'm pretty sure he's saying that the first cut wouldn't cut off the hair, and the person would only afterward be able to change the color of the hair between the cut and the scalp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookish Ocelot Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well if the royal locks could be used for awakening, that opens up a whole host of possibilities. The royal locks are passed down through a family that traditionally marries a daughter off to a really powerful awakener. (The god King), which uses color. If you could make your hair a really bright red, then chop it off, and regrow it, you have an almost unlimited source of awakening fuel.

Nnatel Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 23 hours ago, BookishOcelot said: If you could make your hair a really bright red Just to clarify, black is the most powerful color for awakening. But I like this, although I don't have any idea when it'd be useful. There are enough colors outside for awakening, and if you're locked in a colorless cell, there will be more precautions taken to make awakening impossible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
