Silva Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Is the spherical of planets taken into account at all with steel and iron? Like if one could see that far, would the blue lines eventually curve if they were powerful enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Calderis Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 I doubt it. The lines are unaffected by gravity, and point in a straight line from a person to an object. So I think they'd point straight towards whatever they detected. Regardless of range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Silva Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 So theoretically, if one was strong enough (for lack of better terminology and ignoring that it would be a whole different issue), the lines could wind up affecting things in space?

0 +Artemos Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Quote Oneyespike (paraphrased) Can a Shardblade interrupt iron or steel lines? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) *after mulling it over a bit, he was very interested in this question* "It would be theoretically possible, because steel lines manifest themselves on the Spiritual Realm. Also, there are other things that can cut/interfere with steel lines." source The blue lines are more of a Spiritual thing. I doubt that they'd bend with gravity and would instead- as Calderis said - just point straight from the Allomancer to the target. Do you have any good reasons for why they might bend with space-time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are standing on a terrestial planet, there is a metallic core with a diameter of thousands of kilometers a few thousand kilometers below your feet. You would see one gigantic blue line with enough range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
