Kendelian he/him Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 We know that the burning a metal will produce Allomantic pulses which can be sensed by a bronze misting. We also know that the listeners attune Rhythms. So, is there a correlation between the two, and could a seeker sense the Rhythms of Roshar? 3

StanLemon Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 The Rhythms, Pure Tones, and pulses that Seekers sense are all different manifestation of the same property of Investiture. The Pulses that Vin sensed from the Well of Ascension was Preservation's Pure Tone. Rhythms that Singers sense seem to be tied at least in part to Cognitive aspects, primarily emotional, but there does seem to be a more primal aspect to it as well considering there are non emotion related Rhythms they mention. Seekers on the other hand are aligned to Kinetic Investiture and what that Investiture is doing. Something Singers don't seem to be able to sense 1
