Corax Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 This is related to the kandra post below, but I thought it might warrant a separate thread. (Apologies if it's been said elsewhere and I missed it). We know that Harmony changed how koloss work in some ways, and the nature of Allomantic snapping. I can't help but wonder if he changed how kandra Blessings work as well, or perhaps, did something when he remade Scadrial that reestablished the kandra people's *connection* with their *identities.* This would especially make sense if part of what the Lord Ruler did to the Worldbringers of his time was to sever or significantly weaken that connection. It would mean that the bulk of Terris culture was lost with them and another layer of impossibility for them ever reclaiming it. It would also have the side effect of anteverdant kandra being able to swap spikes out. If later Harmony 'fixed' that, at least in part, it could account for why Blessings are no longer swappable. ...or VenDell is lying his antique butt off. What do you think?

natc Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I don't believe we've ever actually seen a swap work. The most irregular case we got was two full sets, which is a very different situation as far as paired spikes go. Why assume it ever changed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 It was due to the wording VenDell used when explaining the why of it. I'll add it on here when I'm at a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invested Beard Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Edit: Dealt with off topic stuff in PM. On topic, it's always possible as the Kandra are the ancient remains of Sazed's people and he felt he owed it to them to make sure they weren't being taken advantage of. Or yeah VenDell is a big fat phony. Edited January 13, 2016 by The Invested Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
