VindicationKnight Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Go around Awakening townsfolk's money with the command, "Kill rats." Just in order to render VindicationKnight destitute (or at least make them find an honest job). I'll have you know that pest control is a time honored tradition! I have a family to support here! Besides, I'm just following the example of the great god Lightsong the Bold (praise be his name), are you saying that Lightsong the Bold (praise be his name) was a dishonest god? You heathen!

Besides, I'm just following the example of the great god Lightsong the Bold (praise be his name), are you saying that Lightsong the Bold (praise be his name) was a dishonest god? You heathen! I bet it is time-honored, right up there with starting wars. Long and glorious tradition, etc. Anyway, while Lightsong was certainly bold, he was never mentioned in my hearing as Lightsong the Cold, and infesting townsfolk's crops and homes with vermin is undoubtedly coldhearted. In fact, it's not even a bold endeavor. How are you to follow in Lightsong's hallowed steps without a more dangerous method of acquiring your livelihood? I say you should turn your lifeless rat army into a traveling circus in which you do high-flying acrobatics while suspended on trapezes consisting entirely of rats with only a rat-based net below you if you fall. ... I think the Lifeless rat-trapeze counts as my useless use for this post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natc Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 A new one just occurred to me after seeing someone's thoughts on Ruin's level of control in HoA. Ascending to the power of a Shard and obtaining the power of creation itself, having the world at your fingertips. . . So that you can use your expanded mind to have amazing micro and macro management skills while playing Starcraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the winter system Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Stamp your spheres to not have Stormlight. (Does that mean that investiture can be created/destroyed?) Use Aon Ate (Silence) to make little kids stop crying. I'm guessing the investiture that is required to do this is equal to the stormlight or something so that it isn't created/destroyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfShard Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Stamp your spheres to not have Stormlight. (Does that mean that investiture can be created/destroyed?) Use Aon Ate (Silence) to make little kids stop crying. The Investiture would not dissapear, as the Cosmere runs on real physics (or, at least is based on it.) It would probably just convert to some other form or just leave the sphere. However, I believe that just like energy, once it is converted to certain forms it is impossible to change back, thus destroying its usefulness, and then it might as well have been destroyed. And now, to justify my post: Store a lot of health in a brick of gold and then soulcast it into a stick. Then, burn it. (What happens to the health if I do that?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing as if you were to Alloy the Gold I would imagine. I remember a WoB a while back that said the Health would remain in the Metal, but not be accessible unless it was refined back into its pure form/proper Alloy. So if you Soulcast the Gold into wood, and then back into Gold, you get your health. If you burn the wood, collect the ash, and then Soulcast the ash back into Gold, you get some of your Health back, and if you burn the wood, collect all of the smoke & ash, and soulcast it all back into Gold, you get your Health back.

Dunkum Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 The alternative answer to both of those is that the soulcasting would, in some way, release the investiture which would probably flow back to its shard or something. alternatively, since investiture has a gaseous form, it could just dissipate like a gas would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picksupchickens Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks for the explanation of investiture laws. Upvotes all around! Awaken a mistcloak with the command: "Hug people."
