Oversleep Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Is gravity a Physical aspect of the Spiritual bond connecting objects to the planet? Since Lashings are said to be manipulating Spiritual bond...Could Connector store that bond and alter the gravity?-----------EDIT:Adolin's Plate started blacking out lightnings on his visor only after he was directly hit with one. If he wouldn't had been hit, would it also started to black them out?Also, did every Plate start to black out lightnings? Or only some? Or only Adolin's? ------------ EDIT2:Could Allomantic aluminum/Feruchemical nicrosil Twinborn tap a lot of nicrosil to increase his Allomantic strength and then burn aluminum? What would happen due to aluminum burn of such power? Could he cleanse himself of the Investiture making up his own soul, resulting in a very strange suicide? ------------ EDIT 3: Is there a way to make a medallion which would grant you Soulbearer abilities? Because even without the whole "anyone tapping nicrosil" trick it seems like a Catch 22: normally you would store for example Steel Feruchemy using NIcrosil Feruchemy so that the person who taps nicrosil would become a Steelrunner. But to make a medallion with Soulbearer ability you would need to store Nicrosil Feruchemy by using that Nicrosil Feruchemy.

WayneSpren he/him Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Is Hoid Spiked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landis963 he/him Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Is Hoid Spiked? No. Hoid has never used Hemalurgy to augment himself. (And a good thing too, because that would give Odium - or any passing Shard, really - a backdoor into Hoid's soul). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkum he/him Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 this may have been asked before, but I don't have time to check everywhere: we know Atium is a sort of universal metal for hemalurgy: it can be used to steal any attribute, but are there metals with similar universal properties for allomancy or ferruchemy?

Dunkum he/him Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Pure lerasium, when burned, grants Mistborn powers to the burner. sure, that is similar, but I was thinking more along the lines of a metal that does what the mists did for Vin: letting her power any/all of her allomancy with it. or a metal that can store any ferruchemical attribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asperity he/him Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If Hoid has been around pre-Shattering, and seemingly has had interaction with the sixteen original Vessels, how is Khriss more Cosmerically-knowledgeable than he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argel he/him Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Because Khriss is a scholar making an active effort to study the Cosmere while Hoid has a specific purpose that he is focused on. She also has a research assistant (Nazh). Khriss has likely been to planets Hoid has no reason to visit and likely spends more time on them than Hoid usually does. Even if the amount of time is equal, Hoid is often busy in various events, unlike e.g. having Nazh spend an inordinate amount of time drawing bridgemen.

ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Should Ruin and Preservation completely merge, assuming that the investiture is now Harmony-aligned as a result and not Ruin/Preservation, what would happen/happens to the pre-existing investiture present in and on Scadrial?

Jondesu he/him Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 If Harmony was shattered, would it drop Ruin and Preservation, or splinters of Harmony? Brandon said if Sazed was killed, he'd drop Harmony, so I'd assume if it was splintered, the splinters would be Harmony splinters. jW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Brandon said if Sazed was killed, he'd drop Harmony, so I'd assume if it was splintered, the splinters would be Harmony splinters. jW I am unsure about the last part. It's probably more easy to break Ruin from Preservation than break omogeneus Splinter of Harmony.... Of course I have no proof but I think it need something like a Divine Surgery to create Harmony Splinter. As far as we saw also if Ruin and Preservation are connected now... Sazed used them as separate sources of power, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 If a two-year cycle is 1000 days on Roshar, and Kaladin is 20 years old, does that mean that he would appear 20*500/365= 27 years old on Earth? Or do Rosharans age relative to their years the same as we do to ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeShroom Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 A Rosharan year is approximately equal to 1.1 Earth years, because the days are shorter on Roshar. (source) This means that the characters aren't drastically older than we're told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Moridin he/him Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Previously you've said when a gemstone is infused, the light it emits is from the Spiritual Realm. Is the mechanism beyond what causes this similar to that behind Perpendicularities? Could an infused gemstone be described as a small-scale perpendicularity?

Zas678 he/him Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Brandon recently said that Nightblood is sapient through "sheer weight of Investiture". So if you were able to focus the Dor into a contained item, to give it density in a certain spot, would a new Shard-like being arise? It's definitely RAFObait, but it's an interesting question.

Eagle of the Forest Path he/him Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well, since Adonalsium was intentionally shattered by an outside force, you could say every Shard is artificial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
