Millennium Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) In Stormlight, although we think of the Three Lashings in terms of gravity, the TWoK Ars Arcanum seems to state that it's actually a matter of spiritual bonds between objects. In particular, the Reverse Lashing gives an object a gravitational pull, which allows the object to create spiritual bonds with the objects around it. The catch is that things on the ground are bonded so much more strongly with the planet that Reverse Lashings don't pull such objects very well: it's much easier to affect objects in flight. In Mistborn, Cadmium and Bendalloy time bubbles are said to be immobile once created, but once again it's not really what it seems. They do move, but they move with the planet they're created on. If gravity is a kind of spiritual bond, and planets have strong spiritual bonds, then this makes a kind of sense: the bubble bonds to the planet. So, if you put a Reverse Lashing on a spaceship (allowing it to create spiritual bonds, and giving it "artificial" gravity as a bonus) and then someone on the ship put up a time bubble, would the bubble move with the ship?

Straff Venture he/him Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think so, though I'm guessing theres some sort of minimum size something has to be for a speed bubble to stick to it, or maybe some other sort of prerequisite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) What if iron pulls and steel pushes are simply temorary spiritual bonds that create a second spiritual force of gravity pointing to or away from you?
