Weird Theory: Aluminum and Prudence?

[Lord_Elixstar]

Just asking, because I was just thinking, but what if Prudence's metal is Aluminum, and split his body into it? As he turned into full aluminium, and spread it throughout the entire cosmere, or at least worlds which already have a perpendicularity. My main reasoning is that prudence would block investiture, but not outright destroy it, in order to not be noticed. If you were looking for a god, you wouldn't look at the things making up the physical realm, you'd look for it in the cognitive or spiritual.

This question is better suited for the Cosmere Discussion, as it deals with thearies and not facts.

Also, who's Prudence?

This is an interesting idea, but aluminum is not a Godmetal. 

It can be Soulcast into existence with relative ease while Godmetals are made of a Shard's pure Investiture and are extremely hard to create.

Looking through WoBs, probably Reason.

In May, in Germany, you told me that... or I asked whether Wisdom was a Shard, and you said it was or something like it, and that wisdom was close to an intent of a Shard, and you also told me that it has realized that survival isn't necessarily the most important thing for it. I wanted to ask whether it has realized that over time or was it from the get go?

Brandon Sanderson

Over time.

Okay, so then naturally, my next question: Is it the survival Shard?

Brandon Sanderson

RAFO.

And then somebody actually came up with another good probable name. Is Prudence close?

Brandon Sanderson

Prudence sounds an awful lot like a Shard name. That's some excellent theorizing there.

Other than, of course, a potential godmetal for Adonalsium. (Obviously not confirmed)

Is Adonalsium's God Metal aluminum?

RAFO.

Honestly, I wonder if we should rename Cosmere Q/A or rewrite the description given how common this seems to be.
