baby he/him Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) QUESTION In other worlds, are we seeing any magics already? Like, Allomancy might be in Roshar? BRANDON SANDERSON You've seen people using Allomancy in Roshar before. Soooo... Have any of ya'll seen this happening before? Can't recall anything other than Hoid(?) pouring metal shavings in his drink when talking to Shallan's dad. EDIT: comes from here if interested http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1052#79 Edited November 23, 2015 by Once-ler
Guest Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I think the general consensus is that Hoid pouring something into the drink *is* what the WoB is referring to. Off the top of my head, that's the only blatant Allomancy reference.
Citadel16 he/him Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 buuuuuuut, knowing brandon there probably was an entire fight scene that we completely missed where Vin fights off a huge army of Awoken and darkhor monks while kaladin was doing something seemingly important at the time. 1
Rakei Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I read it and couldn't think of any instance where someone seemed to be pushing or pulling... But I wouldn't rule it out... ingesting metals isn't the same as USING allomancy.

(Specifically, Shallan's father doesn't punch Hoid, and Shallan herself doesn't run from Hoid) Edited November 23, 2015 by Landis963

Ardjet Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) If I recall, there was a point in the books where Shallan allegedly gets Soothed. I will try to find the relevant material when I'm not on my phone.EDIT: Here's one@ http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/32611-was-shallan-rioted/?hl=%2Bshallan+%2Bsoothing#entry282988 Edited November 23, 2015 by Ardjet
Charononus Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Though I imagine most of Alethkar wants to punch Wit. 2
Stormgate he/him Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 However, Hoid remains alive and presumably well. I'd say that he'd escape execution. Also, he's invited to Sadeas' funeral. 1

Isn't that what highstorms are?
DreamEternal Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Isn't that what highstorms are? ...I think the Stormfather has a lot of explaining to do then.
Charononus Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Isn't that what highstorms are? No those are her fighting off world hopping Fullborn Returned Koloss that trained in Dakhor.
Eagle of the Forest Path he/him Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 No those are her fighting off world hopping Fullborn Returned Koloss that trained in Dakhor. Sorry, my mistake, I knew it was one or the other...
DreamEternal Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 No those are her fighting off world hopping Fullborn Returned Koloss that trained in Dakhor. I think the Stormfather is becoming redundant...
DSC01 he/him Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 However, Hoid remains alive and presumably well. I'd say that he'd escape execution. Also, he's invited to Sadeas' funeral. If you cut Hoid's head off, it will grow back. If you sliced him through with a Shardblade, once his eyes stopped smoking, they'd heal up, and color would be restored to his grey, Sharddead skin. He is just about impossible to kill.

I wonder if being struck with an unsheathed nightblood would kill him. 1
DSC01 he/him Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Probably. If Nightblood sucked all of his Investiture out as he killed him, he wouldn't be able to heal. Then again, not really knowing how his powers work, it is conceivable that he has a means of unconsciously recharging his Investiture stores. As long as you left his body laying around some source of it, he'd eventually recharge and regenerate. 1

The people struck by it when unsheathed in warbreaker seemed to turn to smoke completely. No body left to sit around. 1
DSC01 he/him Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Are you sure he isn't sucking up his victims' Investiture too? I'm assuming that Hoid is pretty full of Investiture, so I don't think that he'd poof into smoke quite as easily as your average person, but I suppose that I could be wrong. 1

No absolutely not. The only thing I know is that at the end of warbreaker Vasher swings him and things go poof when he connects and he drains Vasher's breath. 1
