Steeldancer he/him Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Note, i will have OB spoilers in this, but I'm just going to stick them in a spoiler tag, because the theory isn't founded on any OB spoilers. It came about while I was thinking about eating a banana. The Banana has a Spiritual identity. But, when you eat it, it becomes part of your spirit web. A very small bit, but what was once a banana is now part of you. Perhaps it helps add to your strength. This process is important to the cosmere, one spirit web "digesting" another. First, Shards. The holding of a shard, which I have previously theorized to be a massive spirit web (it's in my sig), alters the Vessels spirit web, until it has become more like the Intent. Next, Mistborn. When a mistborn consumes metal, it enters them. This is important, because once it is inside of them, it is now inside the spirit web. The spirit web, i imagine, now acts like an enzyme. It either has a universal shape, where it can handle any metal (that's allomantically viable) or a specific enzyme shape, to handle only one metal. Then the metal's spirit web aspect is absorbed into the web, which is then able to connect to Preservation and use whatever allomantic power they are using. Once the spirit web is gone, the power no longer works, because it isn't getting that enzyme shape filled. Lift is a weird one. Her digestion works, and turns nutrition into Stormlight. This is similar to (OB SPOILERS) Spoiler How the spren in the cognitive realm need Storm Light to stay alive, but instead of needing to stay alive, Lift just gets it turned into loose pieces of Spirit web- which is investiture- which is basically just Stormlight. if she doesn't use it, it'll just disperse or add itself as actual something on the spiritweb. This also why more nutritious food gives more Storm Light- it has more to its Spirit web. Finally, more OB SPOILERS. Spoiler Amaram needs to swallow a gem to bond Yelig-Nar, because it's acting as a gemheart. It being inside of him makes it part of the spirit web, which allows it to be similar to a Singer. Note- often times you need a particular Spiritual structure- like an enzyme- to "digest" something, unless it has no identity and stuff attached to it. This also relates to abilities of the body- you aren't going to be able to digest a battery for its spiritual potential, because you don't have the ability to digest- or "digest"- batteries. What I really want to see is what would happen if Lift ate an awakened cookie- *ahem*, an abakened cookie. I think she would get more power out of it because the breath is adding to the cookie's spirit web.

I would still put an Oathbringer spoiler tag in the front of your title, just in case. Don't want to get in trouble with @Chaos, am I right? Aside from that, I think this is an awesome idea. It makes sense to me (not that I really know that much). The real question now is this: According to Realmatic Theory, what is poop?

Podman Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Man, now I'm wishing I thought of this earlier. I could've asked Brandon at the release. I can imagine it now... Me: So... what's poop? Brandon: Poop? Me: Poop. Brandon: I don't think I understand... Me: Realmatically, what is poop. Brandon: Oh, that question. Well, ****. I will now run away before you all kill me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeakoftheDeval Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Wait is it just calories that lift turns into stormlight or just food in general because if it's the latter and all the fibre and normally pooped out bacteria is stormlight ified - does Lift just... not .... poop?
