2 RShara Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 No because they haven't evolved the right biochemistry to form the right bond with the parasite. Quote Podman36 You said before that if a human ate an Aviar worm, it would not doing anything, right? Someone's tried that? What would happen if a baby...? Brandon Sanderson Still wouldn't work. The gut flora is too different. And they're not part of the symbiotic life cycle there. That system has evolved to the symbiosis that it has, and humans are too new to trying to make that work. Humans are not new on the planet, but they are not part of that system. Podman36 Could they be trained into it? Brandon Sanderson Training wouldn't work Podman36 Not like training, but through generations. Brandon Sanderson Through generations, that would be theoretically possible.

0 Frustration Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don't think so, Brandon said somewhere that humans can't get talents, because they ar too new to the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Themasterhunter Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 There is also the question of mixing investiture which we have seen be either extremely painful and/or have issues manifesting correctly. There is some question to if other birds from certain shard worlds could, but there hasn't been a definitive answer. In my own personal opinion is similar to RShara. Symbiotic bonds and biochemistry are very specialized and I dare say fragile so it's extremely highly unlikely that we get a bond like that.

0 GoWibble Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Quote Questioner In Sixth of the Dusk, the Aviar, they [ate all those worms]. What happens if someone else eats the worms on Patji? Do they get powers? Brandon Sanderson Has-- It doesn’t work for a human. They’ve tried that. But there might be something more there. Boskone 54 (Feb. 17, 2017) not for a human, but what about for another Drominad animal?? Sorry, didn't have much do do with the original question, but the question was kind of resolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Honorless Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I found this cursed WoB: Quote Questioner What happens if you eat an Aviar? Brandon Sanderson Normal things happen; you would not gain the powers. You would be a cruel person because Aviar are not of animal intelligence. You would not gain the powers Skyward release party (Nov. 6, 2018) oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
