"Where did he go?" Your friends ask.

The Nightwatcher sighs, "He divided by zero"

*Confusion*

“Boons are Investature. Investiture is energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Matter can be converted into energy. Infinite wishes requires infinite investature, which requires infinite energy, which requires infinite mass. Since he lacked infinite mass, he no longer exists. I estimate he got seventy nine wishes out of it before he no longer existed.”

see above

 

[Brightness Warrior she/her]

I wish for sound-blocking headphones with an actually durable cord that doesn't only work at the weirdest angles after three weeks of use. Please.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Granted, but you go deaf.

I wish for a saxophone!

[Brightness Warrior she/her]

Granted. It's fully functional and smaller than your thumbnail. (On the bright side, that's probably the coolest Christmas ornament ever.)

I wish for a pet mist wraith.

[NameIess]

Granted.

You will discover that you are actually terrified of it, but will be unable to kill it or give it away.

 

I wish for a version of nightblood that I will be able to wield, and that won't need to feast on my soul or my investiture, taking it's energy directly from the spiritual realm and the investiture of the people I kill, with a warning if it starts to destabilize things, giving me time to sheath it before bad things, (like spiritual realm black holes) happen.

[Friendshipspren he/him]

Granted.

  U shall be provided the blade Brightriot,  but simply holding it for too long will give sudden shocking , colourful glimpses into the spiritual realm as it feeds directly from it and ur mind not being expansive enough to really understand it ,will be driven near insanity everytime u wield it. U will gain some benefits such as limited futuresight mimicking that of atium but since there is no enhancement of cognitive faculties like atium allomancy induces , u will simply be disoriented and confused in moments. U can only unsheath the blade for at most 10 seconds at a time. Any longer and u will become dizzy and nauseated and soon enough u will become delirious and incapable of telling friend from foe and might even Nick urself by accident. If that doesn't occur , u will soon be so cognitively unsound as to be unable to remember to sheath it. Keep it unsheathed for a few minutes  and ur soul shall be safe but ur mind will be torn asunder. Ur cognitive self will die , leaving ur body a empty husk and a hole in ur spiritweb which can be used to turn u into a living lifeless.

I wish for a lifeless Koloss army whose command phrases cannot be overridden by anyone.

Granted but the Koloss army was used by you for destroying villages, towns.. you got over confident and that led to them getting into a frenzy and you lost their control.. they killed you.. 

congratulatiobs.. now no one can override their commands, they run rampage all over scadrial.. it became a Koloss kingdom now.. who will soon kill each other now that no humans are left. 
 

I wish for a Dragonsteel blade and the skill And strength to wield it to become the ultimate dueling champion

Perfect! now I just have to gather a few thousand breaths! that should counter it's effects quite nicely. alternatively, I could just become a zinc ferring, then tap zinc to be able to process the excess information!

[Aon Tia she/her]

@Llstml please collect breaths

hemalurgy opens you up to influence.. 

 

[NameIess]

@The traveller I only need one spike, or two if I want to compound, and I could also use medallions. and working as a mercenary or soldier should easily get me enough money to buy breaths. Alternatively, I could maybe become a knight radiant, that should fortify me enough to survive.

zinc compounding will perhaps allow u to overcome the information overload. However u can still use it for a minute tops . Only a full shard can withstand the shocking overpowering charged glimpses of the spiritual realm. Even with compounding ur mind doesn't truly expand . U require more than just increased speed of thought , u require entirely new cognitive faculties and a.......greater volume of thoughts as well. The information provided doubles every flash btw.

This only applies if u are a natural zinc compounder. If u were to use hemalurgy u will need a minimum of 2 spikes. The spikes will allow compounding but they will also harm u spiritually , warping ur cognitive self as well making u weaker against the onslaught of information. 

So then u will be able to wield it for 30-40 seconds tops for 1 spike , 20-30 for two ,depending on ur mental fortitude.

I also don't know how being a radiant   or  breaths will help u but     find it easier even then for no more than  1 minute tops.

And even then it will soon wear u down. U will feel the mental equivalent of a pewter drag after using it for a minute and will be out for days . 

Also similar to pewter savanthood , it will kill ur mind or atleast drive u insane , way before u develop the required resistance. Ur insanity will kill ur Spren too. Leaving u even more vulnerable.

A radiant has a chunk of a shards power inside of them, sealing the cracks in their  soul. Breaths invest me, and I am guessing they would help me stay sane, they help with all areas of your health, I believe. I guess I'll just become a splinter. 

TWoA spoilers:

Spoiler

By finding the well of ascension, then rewrite my cognitive self to be more resilient to the visions, increasing my overall time to maybe 10 minutes or so.

Or I guess I could just wear an aluminum lined hat/helmet, that should block the visions, or at least interfere with them.

I guess rewriting ur cognitive self by ascending will work out. Not so sure about aluminum hats , the flashes aren't really investiture. It's information , mind warping information. It manifests by magical means but it itself isn't magic.

Breaths and nahel bonds might be able to help u but only by a few seconds . I know I said a minute but now I'm not so sure , they don't really help u deal with information like zinc compounding will. So I'm guessing it will give u an extra 10- 20 seconds. They may save u from insanity but u will still get dizzy and delirious and if u hold on for more than 4 minutes ur C-self will still die. That is if u don't nick urself.

As you would theoretically be receiving this information from the Nightwatcher, the only possible way for them to get it would be through Investiture. By definition as a Nightwatcher curse, it is a form of Investiture, and the hat should stop it successfully. 

Okay, Nightwatcher. I have a boon to ask of you. I care not what bane you give me in return, for I shall nobly sacrifice myself for this cause. 

I wish everyone would read the site rules and USE MOSTLY CORRECT GRAMMAR. *Ene falls over, weeping into her hands*

Granted thanx to you everyone even those with English as a second or third language, has perfect grammar on this shard but when they are away, irl, their English is totally messed up.. they forget to use any grammar rules..

Granted, but the blade is forever stuck to your hand (this does make it really easy to chop vegetables, though)

I wish for the ability to ice-skate perfectly.

You aren't getting it from the Nightwatcher. YoU are getting it from Brightriot . The curse doesn't have to be separate , it can be two facets of the same thing. Like how my lifeless Koloss armies are both my boon and my bane. 

The aluminum might protect you from nicking yourself. But it won't stop the cognitive translation of the spiritual realm from saturating your mind. 

It doesn't travel in waves like soothing or rioting which I guess work when they hit you on your brain. Aluminum hats are ok for that. But when you are wielding Brightriot , you have a physical connection with it through your arm. Hats won't work but gloves might. Huh. But wait you are also connected spiritually right. That's why it can feed on your investiture but I guess aluminum gloves would break that too.

Hmm ok but if you wear aluminum Brightriot will automatically decide you are evil. 

Yeah about the grammar

 I should write properly. I'm gonna write like in a exam or interview and get kicked out or something. I will try to rein in the impulse to break Grammer.

Granted  

You are provided the surge of adhesion and can ice-skate perfectly. However , People will grow envious of your skills , discriminate against you , think you unnatural And decide to ironically burn you on the ice court as a witch. 

My wish is hmmm I want to be a Chrome compounder.

It's the name of the new awakened blade. Called so because of the riot of garishly bright and nauseatingly colorful glimpses of the SR.

Granted, however Google is hunting you down for illegally compounding their web browser.

I wish that people realize that U is not a substitute for You. That R is not a substitute for Are. That Y is not a proper substitute for Why. And that B is not a proper substitute for be.

Granted.

But it is a great substitute. It's simply not popular with the older generation and they hold all the keys so we have to keep down for now. In a few yrs ,the substitutes will be popular and the next generations will wonder why they used to make  such a big deal out of it . 

I wish for Asoiaf to be finished in a qualitatively 100xbetter way than the tv show.

Oh damnation ninja'd. Nandayo ?

However , the world has 4 spatial dimensions making trigonometry obsolete.
