Oudeis he/him Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Has this been asked yet? I've heard it accepted as fact that the Three Lashings are a mix of the Surges for Gravity and Atmospheric Pressure. Honestly, they all just look like Gravity to me. The citations on the coppermind don't link to anything concrete. Do we have WoB or anything specific in the books saying that the Lashings are a mix of the two, or are they all Gravity, and Kaladin will have a whole separate suite of powers associated with Atmospheric Pressure? Or is inhaling Stormlight the "atmospheric pressure", or possibly the time his mind entered the highstorm? I'm going to the signing on Saturday. I'm prolly going to ask him if the Mist Spirit that stabbed Fedik was Ruin, and if he was a victim of Hemalurgy.

According to the Ars Arcanum Basic/Reverse Lashings are based on Gravity and Full Lashing is based on pressure.

Araris Valerian he/him Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 How many bridge runs did Kaladin go on during WoK? Why do the 4 spikes given to Koloss have a much more drastic change than the 10(?) given to inquisitors? Is it possible for normal people to pass allomatic/feuchemical powers to each other without hemalurgy? Why didn't Sazed remove the block on mistwraiths' intelligence? (or did he?)
Oudeis he/him Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Is it theoretically possible for a Smoker to choose what he Smokes? i.e., Smoke only Pewter, or Smoke everything-but-Steel?
Windrunner he/him Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Why do the 4 spikes given to Koloss have a much more drastic change than the 10(?) given to inquisitors?Because the koloss are spiked with human attributes, which always twist the person who is being spiked more dramatically than Allomantic or Feruchemical attributes. 3
Araris Valerian he/him Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) @Windrunner: Thank you. If you lost your human attribute through hemalurgy and somehow survived, would burning lerasium restore it back again? Also, how many breaths would it take to make up Endowment? Edited November 20, 2013 by Araris Valerian
Oudeis he/him Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Is it possible to hemalurgically steal a person's ability to burn lerasium? Or is that a trait of your entire spiritweb, not any single portion? If a Mistborn were to burn pewter with duralumin, how would that affect the bronzepulses put off by pewter?
Moogle Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Are there any implications for your afterlife if you're the donor of a Hemalurgic spike? How about the recipient? (I worded this as vague as possible so he could give a 'yes' or 'no' answer. I am not interested in any information in the Cosmere's afterlife besides the implications of Hemalurgy and its 'moral' use. I hope that Brandon sticks to a very short answer. I disagree with Mistborn confirming there was an afterlife.) Edited November 25, 2013 by Moogle
Kurkistan he/him Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) [...] I disagree with Mistborn confirming there was an afterlife.) We have two WoB's on there being an afterlife in the cosmere, one of them actually saying that Mistborn did confirm it in-text. Edited November 26, 2013 by Kurkistan
Moogle Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) We have two WoB's on there being an afterlife in the cosmere, one of them actually saying that Mistborn did confirm it in-text. Ooh, didn't see those. Thanks. I knew there was an afterlife; Mistborn was very explicit in that regard. Another question: Zane's Hemalurgic spike lent him greater control with Steelpushing. Is the reason Marsh can't Soothe or Riot with any subtlety (he notes his use often leaves his target numb) due to Hemalurgic decay making him a 'weak' Soother/Rioter? Edit: More questions! Were Preservation/Sazed limited to only swapping out Temporal metals? Does the Allomantic Table basically 'set' the types of new natural Mistings that can come about? Could Honor/Cultivation swap out Surges like Preservation did metals? Does Marsh have the ability to burn Allomantic gold, or was it considered too useless of a metal to spike him with?

CrazyRioter she/her Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 What is the state of Scadralian medical care as of the Alloy of Law era? Have they discovered the vaccine yet? Do they know about germs?
Kurkistan he/him Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Would a Full Lashing keep objects together in a vacuum? If not, why not? 1
Meg Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 We know that Adonalsium could have been shattered in other ways. But given the situation it was shattered in 16 Intents/Shards my question is: Is every Shard really 100 % its Intent (for example is Ruin 100% Intent=Ruin) or are some percent left and filled with (all or some of the) other Intents? If this is not understandable I'd appreciate help.
Argent he/him Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Would a Full Lashing keep objects together in a vacuum? If not, why not? Fishing for the surge?
Windrunner he/him Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 There's not a Surge to fish for, or at least not a name. Brandon's called it Pressure multiple times. He's probably looking more to see if the author of the Ars Arcanum is correct in his deduction that Pressure makes use of atmospheric pressure.
Kurkistan he/him Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Fishing for the surge? We know the surge is Atmospheric Pressure, actually. Fishing for the way it works. EDIT: @Windy That too, I guess. Edited December 5, 2013 by Kurkistan
Claincy he/him Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Here's another. If you spike someone with 4 iron spikes to make them a koloss, how quickly do the changes take place? Edit: More detail, I am guessing they would get the strength pretty much instantly, but do they instantly lose a lot of their intelligence and turn blue etc? Or does that some time?

Kadrok she/her Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Can metal made through soul casting be burnt Allomantically? Edited December 10, 2013 by Kadrok
Shardlet he/him Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Can metal made through soul casting be burnt Allomantically? That may be a good bit of a hack to get around the Rosharan metal hemalurgic spike RAFO.
Kadrok she/her Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 That may be a good bit of a hack to get around the Rosharan metal hemalurgic spike RAFO. Not to mention it increases my already formidable desire to Worldhop to Roshar and pick up a bond granting Soulcasting. To be honest, the two orders with the Transformation surge really jump out at me as awesome, and since I already have adequate enough telekinesis through my Allomancy, I don't really need my other favourite (Windrunner). Plus leading/protecting really doesn't fit me nearly as well as Honesty/Creativity and... shoot, I can't remember the other combo... help me out here.
Windrunner he/him Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 It's wise/careful, if memory serves.
Kadrok she/her Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 It's wise/careful, if memory serves. That was it! Thankyou! Anyway, back to the questions for Brandon: Is the ability to enter Shadesmar/worldhop present in Allomancy or Feruchemy, or both? And is the ability tied to one of the base 16 metals (like, say, Allomantic Gold) or is it a god metal, or god metal alloy?

Shardlet he/him Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Previously you indicated that Returned Breaths and the aons within Seons are splinters of their respective Shards. Recently, you indicated that a splinter was a portion of the power of a Shard left with no person caring for it or holding it which has attained self-awareness. Does this then indicate that the Seon aons and Returned Breaths are themselves self-aware?
