Jasonioan he/him Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Could Megans abilities be utilized to explore a multiverse that possibly includes the cosmere? Is there a limit to how far Megans abilities can go? I'm just spitballing here. thoughts? 1
imriel452 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 No. Reckoners, Hell, ANY series which features Earth (so Rithmatist, potentially Apocalypse Guard etc) DO NOT have any connection to the Cosmere. Sorry.
Titan Arum Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Sorry to burst your bubble, Jason, but Brandon has explicitly said many times that Reckoners is not Cosmere. As a result there cannot be a connection between the two. Good thinking, however, given what we now know about Megan's ability from Calamity. However, it's my understanding, also, that Megan doesn't access other universes, she just accesses other dimensions within her universe. Thus if this is the case and that the Cosmere is in another universe, the two could never be accessible to each other. 1
imriel452 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Jason, there could be the potential to combine Reckoners and Rithmatist with the Apocalypse Guard, thereby creating a YA Cosmere-esque set up, but Scadrial, Sel, Roshar and all our other worlds exists within theor own little dwarf galaxy
Elithanathile he/him Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Yeah, no cosmere, but I find it very possible that megan could check out the other YA worlds after the apocalypse guard series. (Mini-hoid!) As it seems to me that whenever she dies, she accesses an omniverse, and accessing a multiverse is just a step away from that.
Citadel16 he/him Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I think what jasonioan means is what if Megan went through so many universes that she eventually ended up in the Cosmere. It is very plausible that that could happen. You see, Megan's ability is to reach into different universes and pull something out, right? and what is Cosmere? A different universe. BAMCAKE! 2

But you're misunderstanding Megan's power. She accesses other dimensions not other universes. A universe is made up of an unknown number of dimensions. Universes are unique and do not connect with each other. Thus, since the Cosmere is in a different universe than Reckoners, it would NEVER be possible for her to find a dimension in the Cosmere universe.

The point of multiple universes is that all possible universes exist, but Reckoner-earth runs on completely separate principles to the cosmere, there could perhaps be something similar, made with the Reckonerverses own rules but simulating powers similar to those found in the cosmere but you wouldn't actually be in the cosmere.
Jasonioan he/him Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Haha. I know the reckoners are not cosmere. I do me homework, mates. Brandon has said they're not in the same universe, but her powers revolve around possibilities. What could be. My big issue with my "theory" (more of a discussion and what if topic really) is it follows the burden of proof fallacy. You cant prove it wrong, but i can't prove it right. I feel the thought I was trying to express was misconstrued. Titan Arum and WarriorExMachina were picking up what I was putting down. I just think that if she stretched REALLY far (i'm talking ridiculously far) she could find a dimension in which the cosmere was her universe. By this logic, you could in theory connect any universe to the reckoners. Her name shouldn't be firefight, it should be Crossover! 1
natc Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Well, her name isn't Firefight in the first place. That's the name of fire dude from the other world. Events of 0% probability is not included in the set called "possibilities", Jason. Plus, only core possibilities are stable, apparently. By Reckonerverse mechanics we seem to very much have a bounded infinity going on.
Stormgate he/him Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 That's not to say that we can't see similarities. Sanderson works so much in the Cosmere that it tends to bleed into other books. 1
natc Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 True. It is probably possible to find some distant world that looks cosmere-ish if one tried hard enough . . . Still not it though. Fortunately or unfortunately.
