ethangraham95 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) What's up everybody! I'm new to this site (obvi ) and I'm a liiiiitttllleeee bit of a noob when it comes to forums, but I can play ball so to speak. (I'm actually pretty darn bad at sportsball...) A friend at work introduced me to Mistborn over the summer so i read the first book and I loved it. Then -- having ADHD and not being able to stick with one thing -- I jumped around for a while reading random other books before finally going back to MB for TWoA sometime around thanksgiving. Well. I've never read so fast before. I BLASTED through it in like 2 days and kept going like a freight train with THoA and TAoL over the holiday season. I'm currently halfway through Shadows of Self and I honestly think Wayne might be the best character I've ever seen in a book, and I never pick a favorite of ANYTHING. All I know is Mistborn is amazing. Mind blowing. Beautiful words and stories that I literally have trouble putting down. My plan is once I'm done SoS I'm gonna start in on Elantris and Stormlight so I can expand my understanding of the Cosmere into the loftiest realms of thought Brandon Sanderson, you are a master. For the love of Harmony, never stop writing. Edited January 12, 2016 by ethangrahan95 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenPlague Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The shell. You get the ability to turn into an underwater chull, but the size of the chull is determined by the amount nearby seaweed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethangraham95 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Had to look up chull, as I haven't read Stormlight yet. But that doesn't sound too impractical. But if there's no seaweed around...what happens? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually terrifying. The victim subject would feel the electric shock of having ionized gold shot at them, but that would be it. Probably far less painful than an actual stabbing spike. Plus it could kill cancer! Edited January 12, 2016 by Blaze1616 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to exhume a few bodies to find any, but it was worth it. We keep pets at our organization and their food bills were just getting astronomical. This is actually terrifying.

Kill cancer? Huh. Never thought of that, we just stole its replicating abilities and gave them to a chasmfiend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze1616 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Kill cancer? Huh. Never thought of that, we just stole its replicating abilities and gave them to a chasmfiend. Yeah, gold nanoparticles are currently in medical use to cure cancer. Their injections allow for localization, they manage to actually kill cancerous cells, and they do not harm the body. I took a class on nanotech and actually made a gold nanoparticle solution from scratch. I'm also credited as co-author on an academic paper about creating carbon nanowire with gold particles in the wiring to be used as a mesh for cancer treatments. It's cool stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honor Spren Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Awesome you're here! READ STORMLIGHT. Would you like a bookie? They book shaped cookies that taste like you favorite characters! For example, a Vin bookie would taste like insecurity and pure badchullery. We have a no spike guarantee! Well, unless you choose a Marsh. READ STORMLIGHT, SYLPHRENA IS THE BEST. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
