Can't speak to the others, but I am pretty sure normal Humans can digest shells, we mostly just find them unpleasant to eat. heck, some types of shells are basically calcium carbonate, which is what they make antacids out of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but one must wonder why they eat shells. Are they the only available food source? Are their teeth stronger than those of most humans?

We get it from greens and milk, but neither of those is exactly easy to come by on Roshar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RShara she/her Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 21 hours ago, Feruchemist said: How and why do herdazians have "crystalline" black fingernails? How and why can horneaters digest shells? If an investiture-powered eternal motion machine was constructed, what could one do with it? Can investiture move faster than the speed of light? Because they have some singer blood, so the fingernails are like carapace. Horneaters also have singer blood, and have extra mouth parts (teeth? teeth ridges?) to help them chew and eat shells. They might have some extra enzymes to help them digest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that information about herdazians in OB? If so, my failure to have read it by now would explain my ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidBlue Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Did the heralds have something similar to shardplate? Can soul casting return something to it's previous state? For example, can you soulcast ashes to recreate a document that was burned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEdgedancer Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 What is exacltly/precisely is the relationship between Shards and magic systems. (If Rafo'd, follow up is: Does the relationship also have something to do with Shardic interplay?) Are Honor and Cultivation the only Shards related to Surgebinding? Why does Honor (as an individual and his Investiture) seem to be more involved in Surgebinding than Cultivation? Havee we just not seen/realized Cultivations affect on Surgebinding in full? Is there a magic system just related to Honor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavtyven he/him Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Considering Hoid bonded a Cryptic, could you name one of his truths, or would Hoid be content with only the abilities he gained by speaking the first ideal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feruchemist he/him Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Do fungi, plants, and animals exist on all inhabited Cosmere worlds? Are there any "plant-people" or "fungus-people" in the Cosmere? Can herdazians (because they have Singer blood) theoretically change forms?

Crucible of Shards he/him Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 1 .If Hoid were to overcome or bypass his aversion to causing harm (either temporarily or permanently) and proceeded to cause someone harm, would there be any consequences for him acting against the aversion, magical or otherwise? If so, what would they be? 2. The royal locks are an expression of having a fragment of a divine breath. Is or is not this fragment divided when a new heir is made? Is there a net increase of investiture separate from the normal net increase involved with a new Nalthian's single breath? Does Endowment maintain the royal locks directly, or is it a (cosmere) natural process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
