The Honor Spren Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Welcome to the shard robardin! I hope you like this lovely corner of the internet we call home. And don't take any of those so called "cookies." Take a bookie instead, courtesy of the Knights Awkward. They're shaped like books and taste like different characters. For instance, the one I am offering to you is a Sylphrena bookie; it tastes beautiful and articulate and not at all odd. Also you should listen to me. I outrank all of these guys in both seniority and rep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+robardin Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I dunno about all these cookies. Unlike an Allomancer I can't just burn them... They'd just add to the padding Though what would a cookie-burning Misting gain thereby? And what would a Feruchemist store in a cookie? And what cookies qualify as "alloys"? I say I "fell" into Sanderson fandom (Fanderson? Sanderdom?) because it's a lot like falling into a pool of water. You thrash about and just get more wet, and ultimately, surrender and just sink in. (I'm not a very good swimmer, you see.) I've read every Cosmere work, plus the Reckoners trilogy and The Rithmatist with my kids, though we haven't gotten in on the Alcatraz/Evil Librarians. Favorite power? Well aside from fantasizing about being a Lord Ruler type compounding dual full Feruchemist and Allomancer, I guess being a Coinshot would be really useful for getting around NYC. Man, my commute would be so much quicker and more awesome. Favorite Sanderson word? Meaning invented word, or turn of phase? For the former I'd go with "Allomancy", which perfectly connotes exactly what it is in-universe: magic derived from alloys of metal. Turn of phrase is probably "Journey before Destination." Truly an Ideal to live by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
