Quantum Toast he/him Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Are the Shards aware of Hoid hopping around their planets and doing whatever it is he's doing? 1
Shivertongue he/him Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Would it be possible for an Auger or a Mistborn to burn the One Ring, and if so, what would happen? 4
lyssie95 she/her Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Does Hoid have any tattoos? How do you feel about a potential Cosmere Rap? Edited June 27, 2012 by lyssie95
Zas678 he/him Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 How are colorblind people treated in Hallandren? Or on Nalthis in general? Is that a taboo topic?
Elwynn Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Saw this one above in Windrunner's 'Edited' section: Did Alendi have a Hemalurgic spike to enhance his bronze Allomancy so he could detect the Well refilling early like Vin? BS has confirmed that before, in the prophecies Ruin changed, but doesn't really matter. It's in TFE too, one of the epigraphs. Alendi wonders if his earings really are the 'piercings of the hero.' Someone ask him about the symbol from the 'Isasik Shulin' thread (zas and some others put some really great screenshots up). But they need to have their book on them b/c I just can't think of a way to phrase the question without having the book to show BS.
Windrunner he/him Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Good point about the spike Elwynn, but we don't know the type of spikes for the Piercings of the Hero, so the question is still valid. I'll try to find some way to phrase your symbol question.
ROSHtafARian Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Will the ELANTRIS sequels involve the new region/magic system from THE EMPEROR'S SOUL at all? On a similar note, any plans for future works in established settings like MISTBORN and WARBREAKER introducing new magic systems? (I'm not counting new metals or new properties of metals, as those are still Allomancy and Feruchemy).
Wayne Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) If a mistborn or misting burns a metal with a feruchemal storage in it he gets that attribute instead of the allomantic one; so what would happen if you burned a piece of a hemalugic spike? Would you get a short burst of the hemalurgic ability? Does a 50/50 alloy of lerasium and atium, (the body of harmony,) make you a feruchemist in the same way that pure lerasium makes you mistborn? Do the other shards have effects when their bodies are consumed by mistborn or used by feruchemists? What is the feruchemal trait stored in lerasium? malatium? Edited July 26, 2012 by Wayne
Windrunner he/him Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Hey Wayne, I see that this is your first post here, so welcome to 17th Shard! It would be great if you made a post in the Introduce Yourself topic, so all the other Sharders around here can give you a proper hello and meet you. In response to your question, the unfortunate answer is that it's a little bit mysterious what would actually happen if you burned a Hemalurgic spike. We have two instances of him discussing what would happen, and they are seemingly contradictory. In the first one he calls it impossible since the spike would have to have killed you in order for you to be able to burn it. (like how you can only burn metalminds you made yourself) However this is invalidated by the fact that you don't have to die when a Hemalurgic spike steals your power. Also the second instance of Brandon speaking of it has something more interesting and up to date. MARU NUI ()What happens when you burn a Hemalurgic spike? BRANDON SANDERSON () Burning a Hemalurgic spike would have the effect of splicing your spiritual DNA to that of the person's that is in the spike, which would have some very strange consequences. Source Hope this helps answer your question and again, welcome to 17th Shard. I hope you'll enjoy your time here
Wayne Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 What are the percentages on the other seven Allomantic alloys? From Final Empire: Are the pewter Steel Alphabet Medallions made of Allomancer's pewter? I know that percentages are given for duralumin, steel, and electrum. Electrum is mentioned at the begining of HoA, steel is mentioned by kelsier somewhere in FE, and duralumin is mentioned when Vin gets the sample and tests it to see if it's a valid alloy in WoA. I don't have time to look them up but I think that they are: Steel: 91% Iron, 9% Carbon Duralumin: 93% Alluminum, 7% Copper Electrum: 55% Silver, 45% Gold I might be wrong on some of these since I'm just going by memory. To find out the percentages for brass, bronze and the others you could buy a sample from Brandon's site and send them off to a lab for testing.
Collin Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I would like Brandon to explain if there are connections between Glyphpairs, Aons, Spren and the weird creatures Shallan sees in her drawings. At the end of Way of Kings, Navani pains a glyph on the ground called "justice" and lit it on fire. Seems similar to the magic system in Elantris.
Windrunner he/him Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 It's a really good question Collin. Form is really important in Investiture, especially on Sel, like you mentioned. The Radiants too, once had glowing glyphs on their Plate.
omnicerix Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Mistborn question on front page: What event between WoA and HoA gave Demoux the scar on his head? I believe the answer to this is he got hit in the head by a Koloss during the war in WoA, as stated on page 76 (paperback) of HoA. 3
Windrunner he/him Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Hmm, seems you're right. Thank you so much!
Link389 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Not sure if anyone has already asked this/if we already know, but was there magic in the Cosmere before Adonalsium was shattered? 1
Sunblesser Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 the liar of partinel sample chapters are non-canon, but they do supposedly take place before adonalsium shattered and hoid could lightweave
Prince Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Can a magic system "powered" by a single Shard have multiple foci?
RenegadeShroom Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Did Sazed recover Ati and Leras' bodies after he ascended or do anything with them? Where are Ati and Leras originally from? Are there more than the four kinds of kandra Blessings we've already seen? 1
Zas678 he/him Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I suspect that Ati and Leras are originally from Yolen, the Dragonsteel world, where Hoid is from, since I think that's where the Shattering occured (as well as being the first books in the Cosmere). 1
RenegadeShroom Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Oh! Sorry, my bad, I'm not too familiar with the unpublished Shardworlds. :3
Zas678 he/him Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 No! It's totally fine. It's an obscure piece of knowledge.
Soother he/him Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 What form do the shards have in their native form? How do the shards travel through space?
Windrunner he/him Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I can't speak for the first question. But we do know at least a bit about the second one. CHAOSCan Sazed "will" himself to any Shardworld if he so desires? BRANDON SANDERSON Yes, he has the capacity for it. However, will he? Don't know. If he did there would be a lot of ramifications for it... Source
Tamzin Ashevai she/her Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Can I please state that I need to learn a lot more before I can even ask a question? I know only what I know; I'm not one of those individuals highly apprised of inside information. Suffice it to say that I love this author's writing and I'm looking forward to reading more of it. This is a good place for me to be because I know so little, where I want to know so much more. 2
