Silverblade5 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I've talked about this in other areas. Thought I should give it in its own thread. One is that if you were to take heavily invested areas as points on a triangle, the pool would act as a centroid. The other is that you can treat investiture as light rays, the planet as a spherical mirror, and the pool as a focal point. What do you guys think?

Vertigo Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sounds cool, but what's behind this theory, or is this just pure, unadulterated speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sounds cool, but what's behind this theory, or is this just pure, unadulterated speculation? It's mostly just speculation at this point. Right now, I'm just pitching an idea, and asking for help to further develop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I mean, they both sound possible, and they both seem to fit what we now of Shard Pools and World Hopping, but that's about it. I'm curious. Where did you come up with these ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eki Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 How would the two Scadrian pools fit into this, in the ash era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondesu Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) I wonder how well this could tie into the idea of the investiture being put into the planet like a spike or needle from the Spiritual realm, through the Cognitive and into the Physical. If you imagine a lens in the Cognitive focusing the Investiture into the Physical, would that end up pointing somehow at where the Shardpool ends up forming? That would explain very different locations for the Shardpools of two or more Shards on the same world potentially as well. Edit: That's from this thread: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/54097-thoughts-about-the-new-perpendicularity-wob/?p=433748 jW Edited April 23, 2016 by Jondesu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 There's a WoB about Perpendicularities being like spikes from the Spiritual Realm to the Physical. He said the word spike was intentional. Perpendicularities, generally, are Shardpools. So, walking on theory thin ice, the Shardpool placement might be the choice of the Shard.
