It doesn't mention Aon Tia though. Just says 'most are lightspeed, with a few exceptions'.

Yes, I know.

When he mentioned exceptions that's what came to mind.

As cool as Aons are, I think that they lack use in combat unless you have a quick hand and remember all the modifiers. Since AonDor can function as a semi coding language, what tools could be built with them?

It sounds like you're familiar with programming, so I'm just going to point out that it's fully possible (and arguably more efficient) to use AonDor with the same methodologies as Object-Oriented Programming.

Build a function, say AD_Teleport, with some variables built-in, something like AD_Teleport(x,y,z), where:

• x = the radius of the area to teleport
• y = direction
• z = teleport distance

All the specifics—like the units of measurement to use for x and z, and defining y as 'degrees from magnetic north' or something—can be hard-coded into that function.

Then you can just call that function by writing an AonDor like AD_Teleport(10,57,200) for a quick, easy, ready-to-go teleport spell.

I did not.

Now in an attempt to save my Ill-thought idea:

distance shouldn’t matter?

Because Aon Tia, and oath gates use the spiritual realm, distance shouldn’t be a problem. The same investiture should be needed to go one mile as 10 miles

Well, as I said we know distance does matter, but good news, your idea isn't as dead as you think. Probably not as simple as a giant amplifier Aon, but...

Brightlord Maelstrom

Would there be a way that is reasonably feasible to use Aon Tia to teleport off-world?

Brandon Sanderson

Theoretically yes.

Brightlord Maelstrom

...Would there be a way to create it where instead of teleporting you directly there, it opens a portal?

Brandon Sanderson

We'll go ahead and start RAFOing at this point.

I think he's talking more about calculating an end point rather than just power.

Because traveling that far you have to calculate multiple moving objects in 3D space relative to each other, and then factor in the speed of light and how far away said objects are from where they a appear to you.
