The Rooster he/him Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Has anyone else ever noticed that The symbol for Kaladin with the crescent and the spears looks like a horizontally transposed Allomantic Bronze symbol? Do you think he's going to snap soon? I mean he's been thru SOME bad stuff but I think he's due for a little more punishment. (Note this is totally facetious and I'm kidding) I've thought this since the first time I read the book so I'm a little surprised it's never come up here before. 7
WeiryWriter he/him Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 It has been brought up/noticed before. I'm looking for the thread it was discussed in.
Meg Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 As a side note: I really hope that the development in the cosmere will not be that in the end all is the same, every human or not-human race, "magic" etc. on every planet in the Cosmere (at least not that soon, maybe in thousands upon thousands of Cosmerian years). I'd be really disappointed. On Topic: As far as I understand it, Kaladin will not Snap because he lacks Preservations Investiture.
Bloodfalcon he/him Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Well, and if it is an intensely traumatic event - one that is almost physically unbearable - that causes someone to snap, Kaladin missed his chance anyway.
Cold Fusion he/him Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Kaladin snapping!!!!(gasp)!!!! I'd snap too.
Zizoz he/him Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 He's obviously a gold misting though. I mean, what else are we to make of this? He found himself face-to-face with the man he'd left behind. The one he'd abandoned that night he'd decided not to throw himself into the chasm. A man with haunted eyes, a man who had given up on caring or hoping. A walking corpse. (TWOK, Chapter 40) 11
Pechvarry Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Kaladin snapping!!!!(gasp)!!!! I'd snap too. Awesome because name. 2
Cold Fusion he/him Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I doubt that Kaladin will break. He already did at the chasm, but overcame it. Now he will go up with his character arc.
The Rooster he/him Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 I don't think anyone really thinks Kaladin is going to get allomantic powers. I love his symbol tho... That's the T-shirt I want most from Brandon's store.
bartbug he/him Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah, also, there is the part that Way of Kings is designed so that absolutely zero prerequisite mistborn knowledge will be needed in order for enjoying it. So, I doubt that Kaladin is a misting.
Cold Fusion he/him Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 The allomantic powers just wouldn't fit in with the way of kings series. You can read it and totally get it without reading mistborn. I haven't even read the whole mistborn series, but knowing BS, It wouldn't go with the way of kings. Not to mention, it's already going to be ten books, and throwing in mistborn references would make it a lot more complicated.
Cartith he/him Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Not to mention, it's already going to be ten books, and throwing in mistborn references would make it a lot more complicated. Well, Hoid.
Shardlet he/him Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Even then, Brandon said he's not going to make the cosmere a plot point in the series. He wants all his series(es?) to stand alone without any need to lean on another series.
FeatherWriter she/her Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Right, I'm guessing that we'll probably get a few cosmere-y things in the books to come, but not on a level above what we've seen in tWoK. So, we've got like... Demoux and Galladon showing up in an interlude, Aona and Skai being mentioned in the letter, and some realmatic tidbits here and there, but nothing that overshadows the much more Roshar-specific central plot.
Swimmingly he/him Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Still, Kaladin would have a blast with a bit of allomancy.
Aether he/him Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I wonder how steel pushing would interact with his reverse lashing. If he used both at once with equal(ish) strength, would arrows stop in the air, fall to the ground or just fly around randomly in circles in front of him? Edited December 3, 2013 by Aether 2
SwiftSteel he/him Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Ah man, it's just AMAZING imagining Hoid getting a bet of magic from each of the worlds, you know? He would be able to practice Allomancy, Feruchemy, Windrunning, drawing Aons, Soulcasting, Awakening, Investing, etc. But in answer to your question, I think the objects would just hover in the air
Aether he/him Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 But in answer to your question, I think the objects would just hover in the air I'm leaning towards falling to the ground and spinning around there. Gravity would still affect them, and since both steel-pushing and the reverse lashing only seems to affect stuff in a straight line, they'd fall down. Also, I should have noticed that my "really cool scenario" basically does the same as steel-pushing and iron-pulling simultaneously....
Shardlet he/him Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I figure that 1) it would depend on which was stronger, the steel-push or the reverse lashing. And, 2) if they were equal in strength, then I suspect they would hold in place in the air much the same as a coin used in a steel-push fight like Vin and Kelsier did early in Vin's training.
Cartith he/him Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 If the push and lashing were the same strength, an arrow pointed directly at Kaladin would spin 180 degrees and then stop in the air. Then, the arrowhead would be ripped off, after however long it takes for the force of the push to overcome the thing holding the arrowhead onto the arrow, and the lashing would then be the only force acting on the arrow. 1
Moogle Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) If the push and lashing were the same strength, an arrow pointed directly at Kaladin would spin 180 degrees and then stop in the air.

Ooh! When an object under the effects of a Lashing splits, are all of the pieces Lashed as well? Does the Gravity Surge provide a constant acceleration or constant force (I mean, there's not an actual difference until it splits), and when the split happens, is it split equally? I am intrigued.

Stalagmite Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 He's obviously a gold misting though. I mean, what else are we to make of this? (TWOK, Chapter 40) He must be a full mistborn then.
Swimmingly he/him Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 He must be a full mistborn then.Hey, Stalagmite, just here asking you not to respond to threads this old unless you have new info. It's called necroing, and it's generally frowned upon. 8 times out of ten, the best answer is to start a new thread.
Dahak he/him Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 We do have new information though. We now know Knights Radient have to have something very similar, if not identical to Snapping happen to them. They need cracks for the spen to fit into.
