KaIadin he/him Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Do you guys have any theories for what would happen if Kaladin cut off Lift' right arm and tried to stick her to the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 The Arm will be probably remain stick to the wall. And the same thing will be happen if Kal take Lift and stick her to the wall (unless Lift can assimilate the Stormlight used to stick her)..

natc Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I don't see how a dismembered limb is going to be different from your average rock in that regard. It's not alive. Even if it did still have Slick on it adhesion uses vacuum pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battar Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I would think that something stuck to a wall with stormlight has a very strong perpendicular attachment to the wall in the same way weight sticks Lift to the ground while she is sliding, but the Abrasion change would allow the object to move laterally on the wall without falling off.

DocHoliday he/him Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I would think that something stuck to a wall with stormlight has a very strong perpendicular attachment to the wall in the same way weight sticks Lift to the ground while she is sliding, but the Abrasion change would allow the object to move laterally on the wall without falling off.This would work, but it would be dependent on a Lashing via the Gravitation surge.If the Adhesion Surge is used though, no movement at all should possible. Adhesion relies upon the use of a vacuum, not friction; therefore it should be possible to snare an item Invested with Friction (reduction). I suppose the only problem I see, is whether Adhesion's Investiture over powers Friction's. We're aware that Lift can make things a "little slick" or "REALLY slick". Which indicates she can increase or decrease the amount of Investiture being expended. I can't think of an instance anywhere in which Adhesion was "powered up" so to speak. Kaladin and Szeth both spray large patches of it to increase it's effective range of use, but I don't equate that with a singular increase of Investiture being used "per inch" if that makes any sense. So yea, Friction vs. Adhesion Investiture battle royale! Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 You are comparing Velcro to a plunger. Both useful for Spider-Man crawling, but Abrasion is arguably easier to use, assuming Lift can increase friction as well as decrease it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyShorty26 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 She cannot increase it beyond normal. Thats abrasion its shared by the Releasers aka the Dustbringers and the Skybreakers. Its also the coolest of the surges in my humble opinion. The Dustbringers are madters of friction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duskbringer and Skybreaker shared the Division surge, not the Abrasion (Skybreaker= Division+ Gravity). The Abrasion surge is share by the Eagledancer and Duskbringer. Anyway Nalan says that the Eagledancer may run on a tiny rope and therefore they can improve the friction to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyShorty26 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yes, that's right. My mistake. Though I imagine that increasing friction would be most devestating if you divided first. More surface area equals more friction energy to use/create. Also, Lift seems to be constricted to things she actually touches. For gliding around thats awesome but making things superheated would mean a lot of healing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
