Sariel he/him Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Why do spren bound to humans and make them Radiants? If someone would build a shield the same way Nightblood was built, and Awaken it with the command "Protect Life", or maybe "Protect Good", what would it be like? Would it be able to block Nightblood? Does every invested creature produces a colour aura in Nalthis, like people with a lot of breath?
Andy92 Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 22 minutes ago, Sariel said: Why do spren bound to humans and make them Radiants? This one is basically a symbiotic relationship from what I understand. When spren bond with humans, spren gain sentience in the Physical Realm (you see this with Syl for example as she continues to gain more and more memories/understanding of where she is). In return, humans are granted surges as a part of the bond. One of the Listener Songs in WoR points towards this being the case. Quote The spren betrayed us, it’s often felt,Our minds are too close to their realm.That gives us our forms, but more is then,Demanded by the smartest spren.We can’t provide what the humans lend,Though broth are we, their meat is men. The spren bonds with the humans are special because humans are in the Physical Realm. The Cognitive Realm is the home of the spren, so the bond with humans allows them to manifest as a sentient being in the Physical Realm.
Dunkum he/him Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 My understanding of Bendalloy ferruchemy is that it allows one to store nutrition, so things like vitamins, for example. but a lot of vitamins become toxic in large quantities, iron for example. so I am assuming that a bendalloy ferruchemist would be able to ingest iron beyond the point where it would normally be toxic, provided they then stored it in a metalmind. so my question given that they can store nutritious chemicals this way, would they be able to do the same thing with normally toxic ones? could bendalloy ferruchemy be used to sap poisons out of one's system?

Um, my understanding was actually that they could store calories, not necessarily vitamins. 1

The Wiki says "Nutrition and Calories," but with the only source link being the AoL Ars Arcanum, we don't have enough information. That also pertains to your question @Dunkum. We just don't know if that's how it works or not.

I haven't tried to look up WOB about it beyond what is in the wiki, so maybe there is something more out there on whether or nto nutrition can be stored.

Kurkistan and Argent got too interested with Bendalloy Allomancy(Speed Bubbles), so we never actually asked any Feruchemical questions about it
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Demoux is a Seer and a Worldhopper. Does Atium somehow allow people into the Cognitive Realm?
Fezzik Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 I'm pretty sure someone asked Brandon if we have seen someone travel into the spiritual realm, and his answer was when elend Duralumin flared Atium, he was peeking in. 1
ccstat he/him Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Would the metal components of a fabrial resist an allomantic push? (i.e. is the metal invested?)

Are the Personalities Shallan makes similar to Essence Marks and are they changing your Identity in a spiritual sense? In my opinion these two are the most interesting of the ones you listed.

Sariel he/him Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I tend to see most fabrials as electric circuits, where Stormlight flows from the gem-battery to the other parts, so according to this theory, it would resist allomancy as long as it was connected to a gem with Stormlight. About 25, I got the impression that Shallan's illusions was more of a self-hypnotism, so I don't believe it is capable of changing her in the spiritual level. Maybe just in the cognitive level, temporarily. It is somewhat similar to Essence Marks, because they also work in the cognitive level.

Sariel he/him Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Really? I didn't see this anywhere, and Coppermind says it works on the cognitive. I couldn't find any other evidences for either side.

Brightlord M. Alhstrom he/him Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 In the Elantris scene where Hoid talk to a Skaze then jumps through the perpendicularity, had he already stolen the Moon Sceptre? Was the Moon Scepter part of his attempt to become an Elantrian?
Kurkistan he/him Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 The Moon Scepter is magically significant, but TES takes place after Elantra’s so the timeline doesn’t match up. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/80/#e5302
SilverTiger she/her Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 My questions: 1. How many Parshendi forms are there? 2. How many forms of power are there? 3. How many Parshendi songs are there, and will we see any of them in their entirety?
Stark he/him Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Spiking. Can I stacks pikes? For example, if I spike Allomantic Pewter out of a Thug, I get a quantity of Allomantic Pewter power equivalent to that thugs power that can be spiked into someone. Provided I spike it into the person soon after creation, so that it does not decay. This spike is now a pewter enhancement. But what if I have five thugs and one spike. Can I spike the pewter out of Thugs A through E on the same spike, to have one spike that grants the approximate Pewter power of A+B+C+D+E as an enhancement? Or does that not work, because the spike takes a piece of the soul, not the power, and souls don't stack like power could?

I don't think we know for sure if you could add more power to a spike. you could probably use 5 spikes to get stacking enhancements to pewter, but it isn't clear if you could do multiple ones on 1 spike.
