Tamriel Wolfsbaine Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 I am still only about 75% of the way through Warbreaker but am curious if a returned must get a breath each week specifically or if it is just some form of investiture to keep themselves alive? Could a ferring store enough of an attribute to survive off of by allowing it to be consumed at the end of a week? Could an allomancer simply burn up extra metal to buy a weeks worth of time? If you had 2 different types of investiture could you choose which one to use? Say you have access to breath for survival but also have been spiked and have feruchemy or allomancy now as well? Could you choose to spare the breath or store it elsewhere as the time comes due and then just use up the other form of investiture instead? I was always a huge fan of the metallic arts but warbreakers returned and awakening might be a new favorite system.
Frustration Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Any investitiure will work, we don't know if you can choose or not. 2
cometaryorbit Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Yes, this definitely works and has been done (Stormlight Archive): Spoiler Vasher moved to Roshar after Warbreaker so he could survive on Stormlight (avoiding taking people's Breaths). He can't Awaken with it, though (or at least doesn't know how to do so, yet). Edited February 22, 2022 by cometaryorbit spoiler
