Silverblade5 he/him Posted April 23, 2016 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 he/him Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Sounds cool, but what's behind this theory, or is this just pure, unadulterated speculation?
Silverblade5 he/him Posted April 23, 2016 Author 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.
Vertigo he/him Posted April 23, 2016 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?
Eki Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 How would the two Scadrian pools fit into this, in the ash era?

Jondesu he/him Posted April 23, 2016 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
Stormgate he/him Posted April 26, 2016 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.
