Eagle of the Forest Path he/him Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 In chapter 32 of Elantris there is mention of Dula runes on the altar Iadon is using for his sacrifice, Eondel explains they are supposed to be a spell targeting Sarene. Is that an indication of a possible Duladen way of accessing the Dor? (apart from the occasional Dula that gets taken by the Shaod) Are there Selish magic systems we haven't seen yet? Does every nation/people/country on Sel have the potential to have their own magic system?
Moogle Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Storms. Well, is there a question yet about the magic systems of the ten Shardworlds being linked to the Ten Essences? (Foil, or metal, being Scadrial, for example) Skaa's got you covered on the theory, but I don't believe Brandon's been asked a question regarding it.

Does every nation/people/country on Sel have the potential to have their own magic system? From what I understand, the Dula can't draw on the Dor. Even more strangely, all of the Sel magic systems seem to be one magic system. Knowing how Sanderson answers questions, your question might want to be more specific.Though I imagine if we got a map of Sel, we'd get a fair approximation of the number of ways the people of Sel can access the Dor.
Belcyrlis she/her Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Increases healing and that is a part of healing so I would assume so. Then, does a pewter savant run a higher risk of blod clots, and therefore heart attacks or strokes?
natc Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Internal physical metals probably both have similarly drastic effects, so I'd imagine you just take everything pewter enhances and weaken them, and you get pewter savants. Though I wonder what goes on with bronze and copper.
Thermophile he/him Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) I just want to know what would happen if somebody gathered billions of breaths through extended and complete domination of the planet. Would physical abilities be enhanced to rediculous levels? Would there be more than the ten awakenings? Could you awaken something made of aluminum? Edited November 28, 2015 by Thermophile
Stormgate he/him Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I don't know much about aluminum, but I think it's unAwakenable.

Would physical abilities be enhanced to rediculous levels? Would there be more than the ten awakenings? Could you awaken something made of aluminum? You basically become Endowment, at that point, to the best of our knowledge: Brandon Sanderson [...] So... So each Breath is a shade of deity, right? Kurkistan Yeah. Brandon Sanderson And each Breath incorporates into it this sort of idea of being endowed by the deity Endowment, correct? Kurkistan Yes. Brandon Sanderson And so each Breath you hold brings you one step closer to becoming like that, and so what you're saying is... is "yes", kind of true, yes. Douglas What about a Lerasium savant? Or would that require so much Lerasium that the person attempting it would ascend to become a new Shardholder? Brandon Sanderson Basically, this is what ascension is. (source)
Patar he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 So I'm thinking about ordering a personalized copy of Way of Kings. Any good questions I should ask? I'm sure plenty have been asked in this thread, but there is no way I'm searching through 107 pages to find one I like.

Are the Ten Essences linked to how the Investiture on the various Shardworlds (Foil for Scadrial, etc.)

I'm sure plenty have been asked in this thread, but there is no way I'm searching through 107 pages to find one I like. So why exactly are you asking the rest of us to do it for you? The OP has a good list, although you may want to check the coppermind to see if they've been answered.
Thermophile he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 How about this one: If a Feruchemist has his or her abilities stolen with Hemallurgy, can the recipient access the metalminds of the dead Feruchemist?
Stormgate he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 It probably depends on how much of the soul was stolen by the spike. Maybe?

The OP has a good list, although you may want to check the coppermind to see if they've been answered. I wasn't asking the rest of you to do it for me. I would never ask someone to do something I'm not willing to do myself. I simply wanted ideas for possible questions I could ask if I got a personalized copy, and I wanted to ask for some good questions people more knowledgeable than I could think of off the top of their head. Didn't know there was a google doc however, so thanks for pointing that out, it makes it much more convenient! Edited December 3, 2015 by Patar365
Eagle of the Forest Path he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 How about this one: If a Feruchemist has his or her abilities stolen with Hemallurgy, can the recipient access the metalminds of the dead Feruchemist? Asked and answered. Yes we can.
Yata he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Asked and answered. Yes we can. Quite true, he can if the Spike didn't decay to much. After the Identity stoled, didn't mach with the Original Feruchemist and the Metalmind doesn't reconize you.
natc Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 If I pulled an FMA moment and somehow pooled together the souls of a suitably large number of human sacrifices from various worlds, then took in the investiture, can I obtain some form of shard-like power?

You'd probably be a super weak version of Aldoniseum (I don't know how to spell it).
Curiosity he/him Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Is Demoux a worldhopper because he did something weird with atium, allowing him to jump around in the Spiritual Realm, and therefore, time?
Moogle Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Is Demoux a worldhopper because he did something weird with atium, allowing him to jump around in the Spiritual Realm, and therefore, time? We know atium is not related to worldhopping: Chris King (Miyabi) Is burning atium related to Scadrian worldhopping? Brandon Sanderson That's a good question, the answer is no. (source)
Landis963 he/him Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 How do Lurchers not become anemic? Does their blood not count for their internal reserves or something?
Stormgate he/him Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 How do Lurchers not become anemic? Does their blood not count for their internal reserves or something?Can we extend this to how metals in compounds react Allomanticaly? Like how Pushes and Pulls would work on rust, or if you could burn rust for the iron in it?
Thermophile he/him Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Is there any way to detect allomantic potential other than beating the crap out of them and giving them a bottle of metal shavings?
Stormgate he/him Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 The only thing I can think of is go to the Spiritual Realm and look at their Spiritweb. Which has its own issues.
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Is there any way to detect allomantic potential other than beating the crap out of them and giving them a bottle of metal shavings? I assume they could ask Harmony.
