Just how powerful is Adonalsium?

[NoDiscoBallz He/he (:]

We know that Adonalsium split into the 16 shards, and it wasn't sentient enough to make decisions. When Odium shows Dalinar Kholin his true super-powerful self, it's overwhelming to Dalinar. Now if you multiply that immense power by 16, just how crazy would that be?

This is my first post! I've read the Mistborn Trilogy 3 times, and Wax and Wayne twice until Lost Metal, which I'm saving until after Rhythm of War. I'm reading Oathbringer rn, and am halfway through after only like 4 hours of reading.

Welcome to the Shard! This is probably better asked in the discussion boards!

Welcome to the Shard. Please see the Sharder FAQ for useful forum information, tips, and tricks. How about Stand Alone stories? Have You read any other Cosmere, such as Elantri, Warbreaker, White Sand or the best Novella ever - The Emperor's Soul? (Great introduction to fundamental Realmatics)

How about any of the Short Stories? Arcanum Unbounded?

If not, (Minor Spoilers). . .
