Dwmaster204 Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Could a gemstone such as a diamond be awakened with enough breath? If so would it still be able to store stormlight and spren. Would the conscious gem be able to affect fabrials it is placed into? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dunkum Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 In theory you could awaken just about anything with enough breath. but it would take a lot, and that much investiture would definitely interfere with using it for other purposes. it might till be possible, but I would bet against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Trusk'our Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Here's a quote from Brando Sando himself on the matter Quote Questioner Could a skilled Awakener Awaken a gemheart? Brandon Sanderson Yes, but you got to remember, some of these things like metal and gemstones and things do not Awaken well, how about that... Technically yes, it may not do the thing that you want it to do. Questioner But it'll do a thing? Brandon Sanderson It'll do a thing. So yeah, it's doable, but it probably won't do much. In addition, if you used a Gemstone's color to fuel Awakening it will effect the Gemstone for Soulcasting purposes. Quote TearablePuns If an Awakener were to use a gemstone as a color source, will that affect its Soulcasting properties? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Quote zas678 If an Awakener went to Roshar and bled color from a gem, would this gem still hold Stormlight? Brandon Sanderson If an Awakener bled-- No it would-- Oh wait yes it would because a colorless gem could still hold Stormlight. It just would not have-- zas678 Would not have the properties of the original color. Brandon Sanderson Yeah, the color is integral to what's going on because molecularly some of these gems are the same except for the different coloring. The coloring is kind of what-- zas678 What defines what magic. Brandon Sanderson Yeah. It has to with fabrials and some of the effects, and that relates directly to the spren and what spren-- anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
