Trusk'our he/him Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 We know that Rhythms, Tones of Shards, and Invested powers are all related to one another. Quote General Reddit 2020 - Arcanum (coppermind.net) MoriWillow Is that tone and rhythm stuff universal to the Shards and Investiture elsewhere? Brandon Sanderson The tones can be expanded to other Shards and Invested Arts around the cosmere. dIvorrap Are the Allomantic pulses a Seeker hears (like drum beats) related to the tones of Preservation, then? Brandon Sanderson Yes, they are. Quote Skyward San Diego signing - Arcanum (coppermind.net) Questioner If a Parshendi were to attain Allomancy and burn Bronze, how would they feel about the Bronze pulses? Brandon Sanderson They would feel that they were somewhat familiar but a little odd. Quote General Signed Books 2016 - Arcanum (coppermind.net) Aethenoth Can an Allomantic bronze burner hear the Rhythms on Roshar? Brandon Sanderson Yes, this is possible. So, I got wondering; could you take some Unkeyed Investiture, such as the Mists, some Stormlight, or something similar, and then use a Rhythm of an Invested power to program the Investiture to work for that specific power? Say you take some Stormlight, then give it the Rhythm that Feruchemical gold has; could you give that Investiture to a Bloodmaker to let them heal? Perhaps you could use this to fuel Feruchemy or another magic system, similar to Compounding. Another idea is if you could create anti-Rhythms (not Tones, but Rhythms) for specific Invested powers to disrupt any use of those powers nearby. 1
alder24 Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Uff, I think this should work, but like with creating anti-tones, you would first need to remove the tone and connection of the investiture that it already has. Like remove Honor tone from Stormlight, and then imprint on it Feruchemical gold tone (which likely is a combination of Ruin and Preservation's tones with slight difference from Pure tone). Could a Bloodmaker use that "F-gold tuned Stormlight" for healing? Yes, I guess? There is no identity problem, tones are matching, the only problem that there might be is that it was Stormlight, but not any longer. I think that might be a good idea on how to fuel invested art with different investiture. 1
