Tamriel Wolfsbaine Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 I am trying to gauge how invested objects are. When you make a roseite object it is funneling in investiture from the spiritual realm right away. When you are on a planet like scadrial, if you make a roseite object and drop it then it turns to dust. This has to do with a pseudo atmosphere of investiture or something? I am curious if combining the 2 systems would work at all for keeping roseite items around longer. I know investiture resists investiture. I assume that when making a roseite weapon there would be a lot of investiture being funneled into it. How long does that stay that invested? Is it until you let it go or just until it stops growing? A bit of theory on possible options vs shardblades... Does a roseite weapon resist a shardblade? How long would it resist? Is its resistance capped after it has grown and you get a few precious seconds to resist a shardblade as you grow the roseite? If so could you pour breaths into it and awaken it to create your own shardblade at that point? Would this require the same 9th heightening as awakening any other rock? Or would a roseite weapon be able to stay highly invested enough to resist a shardblade so long as you had the hydration to keep feeding it? All of this can be applied to the exoskeleton power suits as well. In a place where there is no field of investiture would you be able to maintain any roseite structures via filling them with breath? I guess I am trying to figure out when the item becomes an invested object and when it becomes a mundane crystalline formation with no investiture to resist investiture or a shardblade. Side question. Would roseite be able to hold stormlight? Would a mace / sword / power armor set made out of roseite be able to be filled with stormlight and would that keep it invested enough to resist magical blades? Gotta ask because bendalloy compounding aetherbound sounds like an endless fuel tank for your aether creations. So long as you hold them can you continue to funnel hydration to keep the investiture flowing or would it fall off completely and lose all investiture once grown to what you want and then become a totally normal gem stone / object?

Investiture Resists investiture, Therefore it is unlikely you could fill it with storm light at least not easily. I agree it makes sense about the bendalloy. I see no reason why the gemstone would become an ordinary object. We don't see other aethers behave this way.

How long could you hold onto a weapon made of it then? Does it grow and dehydrate you until it is complete and then no longer need to be fed in places without the fields? Or does it still require more from you to maintain it for a prolonged time? How fast can they grow? Does it require more water to make one grow faster or is it pretty explosive and instantaneous no matter what? In speed would a weapon made from roseite be able to pseudo skip like a live blade? Dropping it and regrowing another in time to still hit an enemy attempting a parry?

In ToES it seems like they use water up to a certain point and then stop, however LM suggests that it might be different on other planets. So I would say that it requires constant investure which means constant water.
