I follow the Path of Sanderson

[Shadowborn]

Hello there.

I've come here because I finished the four Mistborn books (and Steelheart, but that's less important...) and I want to learn more about the Cosmere and actually ask questions. I've had a theory or two myself involving what happens to the metals (if I'm right, it's actually quite boring...but the possibilities if I'm right are very interesting.)

That's about it.

Welcome to 17th Shard!

Have an upvote and a healthy, fiber-rich bamboo cookie!

I can't wait to see your theory; I've had a couple myself.

Which Mistborn was your favorite?

Welcome to the 17th Shard, my friend! I present to you a delicious muffin and an upvote.

 

I would love to hear your theory. Sometimes even the most boring of theories can give us another angle to think about.

[Shadowborn]

Probably HoA, I read most of the preludes. Alloy of Law was pretty helpful too. Now, to the theory.

Welcome to the 17th Shard home to the insane, the great, the mysterious and also to the inferior bakers known as the pandas.
If you'd like a nice proper cookie you should stop by the Dark Alley in the social groups subforum, or to the courts of Newcago ruled by our sponsor Her Royal Highness Queen Elsa Steelheart.

Whut?

Since when did the DA ally with Newcago? This does not bode well...

[Shadowborn]

Also, two troll sounding things that would be amazing if they were real:

The name Calamity and the fact that it gives people powers...is it secretly a shard?

 

Two: Pastry based Investitures.

Make cakes with the symbol for atium on them and now all of a sudden you can burn atium!

Unfortunately the Reckoners takes place outside the cosmere.

The Dark Alley cakes can do precisely that, be sure to place an order at your local Dark Alley!

Point 1: Reckoners is non-Cosmere.

Point 2: The cake is a lie.

Edit: Voidus ninja'd me.

"The only cookies for me are from the Dark Alley :D"

Newcago allied with the DA a while ago, when I endorsed their most definitely 'non spiked cookies'

"The only cookies for me are from the Dark Alley :D"

What? When? How?

[Voidus]

What? When? How?

August last year, it's been in my sig since before the Pandas began peddling their lower-quality cookies.

[Argent he/him]

Welcome!

Brandon's books that take place in an alternative Earth are all non-Cosmere (so Reckoners, The Rithmatist, Alcatraz).

 

P.S. I am one of "the great" mentioned above.

I should have known.

That puts a wrench in my business model.

Welcome to the forum! A word of advice; don't accept food from forumers. You can't trust it. Ever.

Have an up vote!

Also, what's your favourite book by the great and powerful BS?

[Shadowborn]

The only reason I'm accepting my pastries is so I don't get caught in the resulting food fight...

 

I know the Reckoners is not part of the Cosmere, but wouldn't that be interesting? If say, a Steelpusher ended up in Newcago.

 

I shall follow the path of Pastry Investitures...so I can walk around with cakeminds on my shoulders and eat baguettes that give me Allomancy.

 

My favorite BS book is actually a tough call. I don't want to choose until I read up on all of the Cosmere.

[Voidus]

It doesn't get easier to pick even if you've read them all
I like them all for different reasons:
Elantris because it was my first and the beginning of something amazing.
Warbreaker because it's characters made me laugh and cry in equal measure.
Mistborn because it's setting was beautiful. If a bit monotonous in Breeze's view.
Stormlight because of it's scale and writing.

[Shadowborn]

As of now, I'd say Mistborn for the magic system, then.

 

Who among us would/ does play Mistborn Adventure Game?

 

Who among us would like to see Misting/Mistborn pirates during the Age of Heroes? (First Gen.)

[Vision he/him]

Interesting, I just finally caught up in the Mistborn world as a whole last night! That Ars Arcanum in AoL really blew me away with its info. Welcome to the forum!

[Shadowborn]

I felt the same about that Alloy of Law stuff. I wonder if there's still some Atium and Lerasium lying around. Atium burners would be seen as basically gods in that society and if there was Lerasium then Wax becomes...amazing. Almost put a spoiler on a fansite, silly me.

 

Now then, back to the Pastry Investiture.

Quite similar to the form based investitures of Sel and the types of metals used in investitures on Scadrial, the Pastry Investiture is similar to Lerasium, but for the entire Cosmere. Inside Andalosium, there was a smidgen of frosting on the very tip. When it was shattered, this frosting was imbued with a shard as a Hemalurgic spike. The Pastry based investiture is the purest form of Andalosium and works aon all planets in the Cosmere. In order to access this Investiture (which shall be referred to as Bakurizong) one must find a person who's baking skill is "The best in the county" and eat one of their pastries, which unlocks the art of Bakurizong.

 

From there, you can bake and/or replicate the magic systems across all the realms.

[18th Shard he/him]

Wow. Voidus, someone's been spying on us! Seriously though, would you like to join the Dark Alley? We bake Investiture filled baked goods of all kinds, not just pastries. I myself have felt the power of the giving of baked goods and would like to give you this cookie.

This is baked good Hemalurgy, no?

[Shadowborn]

This is a dangerous situation. I have been offeded a Cookiemalurgist object  by a group with Dark in it's title...hmm. I am considering it. Panda, I would like to hear your opinion.

I don't have much time, but I came to tell you not to trust the panda. Or the DA. Only eat food you have prepared yourself. Take a page out of Vin's book.
