NobleD Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I was at the B&N Calamity signing and asked Brandon a question related to using magic systems on other worlds. I know that some of this is information already known, like I knew that Vasher was staying on Roshar because it's easier to get stormlight than breath. But what I wanted to know was could you use stormlight to directly fuel awakening while on Roshar. Here is the audio, and here is the transcript: Me: I've seen that you have mentioned that it is technically possible to be able to use one magic system on another planet. Brandon: Yes. Me: Is it possible to fuel that, like say could you fuel awakening using stormlight, or do you have to bring breaths? Brandon: Yes, you could. Excellent question. Now there are tricks to making it happen on each world. Some are easier than others, but yes you can. Me: So could that allow a loophole to allow to maybe convert from one form of power to another, like from stormlight to breath? Brandon: Yes, infact that's part of why Vasher is on Roshar because it's a lot easier to get stormlight than breath. I had wondered if it was possible for someone to say go from Nalthis to Roshar, use stormlight to awaken something, then travel back to Nalthis and gain a bunch of breath from the item awoken with stormlight. It sounds like it may be possible, though very difficult and would require knowledge that few people have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I would say that it is possible, but would require some serious hacking of magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksteel Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Seems like it would probably be pretty difficult to accomplish but probably worth the trouble since breath is fairly hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think it would be possible and not too hard too do considering that both are investure in its purest form aka gas form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
