Rakidonthe3rd he/him Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 How would one make an antiinvesture for Autonomy? She's weird. It says in Lost Metal that she manifests a bunch of different forms of investiture. Would you just make the antiinvesture for that?
Frustration Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Forms are different from intent. The intent is the same across the whole shard, so there shouldn't be anything different about making anti-autonomy investiture. 1
IlstrawberrySeed Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Actually @Frustration, making anti-shard metal and making anti-light would have 2 diffrent methods, and it isn’t possible for them to mix.

You can convert one to the other, I don't know if you can change metals to anti-investiture, but the process for making anti-light should be the same and then you can convert between states.

IlstrawberrySeed Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 gasses also don't emit light, and I doubt that the mist could be trapped in a polestone. I doubt there are multiple types of investiture for each state. All solid investiture is metal, etc.

Spoiler Alteroden With Stormlight, the better the gem is cut, the less Stormlight it leaks, and the longer it holds its charge. If a gem was perfectly cut, on a molecular scale, would it leak Stormlight at all? Brandon Sanderson In a theoretical flawless gem, then no it would not. Alteroden Would it actually give off light? Brandon Sanderson [...] Theoretically no it would not, but it's not what you're thinking... Alteroden No no no, that’s not what I’m thinking, I figured that’s something totally different. Brandon Sanderson Well, actually, it probably would still give off light, because it's drawing out of the Spiritual Realm. So I’d say it still lights, but it doesn't leak. The leaking is not where the illumination is coming from. The illumination is coming from a direct... It's basically a light bulb screwed into the Spiritual Realm.

All solid investiture is metal, etc. That's not entirely true, there can be non-metal solid forms of investiture Spoiler Overlord Jebus All the physical manifestations--solid physical manifestations we've seen of Investiture has been metallic. It's been atium, lerasium, Shardblades. Is that just a coincidence? Brandon Sanderson No, it's intentional. Overlord Jebus It's intentional so we're not going to see Investiture wood or Investiture plastic? Brandon Sanderson Right, I mean technically, like, what do you call the aethers? Those are not metal. But I do it as metal intentionally. Questioner They could be a metal with very low boiling point. Brandon Sanderson *sarcastically* Yes, the vine ones are-- Overlord Jebus Well we've had liquid, we've had gas, the solids all seem to be metallic, so. Brandon Sanderson That is intentional, it's just one of those little laws of the cosmere, that's not meant to mean anything Emerald City Comic Con 2018 (March 1, 2018)
IlstrawberrySeed Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 I haven't read any of the unpublished books (or the secret project), so I only know the little from TLM. Care to explain what the aethers have to do with solid investiture?

IlstrawberrySeed Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Intresting, but metals are crystals, and we don't see them manifest different types of solids, so each investiture still only has 1 solid form we have seen.

Are they? they're certainly created with Investiture, but I don't know that they're made of it. Granted I've not finished SP1 yet so maybe there's proof in there.

Metals may be crystals, but not all crystals are metals, and I don't think TwinSoul's aether crystals were metallic. I agree each type of Investiture should have a single solid form - Silajana isn't going to also have an aethermetal, and Ruin doesn't have a solid Investiture form other than atium. TLM seems to imply that Sazed can't just automatically make atium and lerasium - harmonium has to be split first - even though he contains both Shards.
IlstrawberrySeed Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) WoB says that Sazed can, though Harmony probably cannot. Also, I was saying that investiture must be crystaline rather than metalic, not that because it was crystiline it must be metalic. Edited January 5, 2023 by IlstrawberrySeed
