Cadmium and Bendalloy

[Elsecaller_17.5 he/him]

The biggest disadvantage of Cadmium is that you slow down too. It’s been said in the books that burning both in the same area cancel them both out. So does it cancel both entire bubbles or just where they overlap? If the latter could Marasi and Wayne stand together and both burn (and since a cadmium bubble is larger) create an area of normal space surrounded by slowed time?

*(Marasi is how it's spelled (I think))

That's how I've always thought it would work. Which would actually make them quite a handy duo.

I see no reasons why not.

According to Brandon, this should be possible:

So it said in the book that if Marasi and Wayne had it on at the same time-- Would it cancel it out all the way, or would it just cancel out where both of the bubbles were?

Where both of the bubbles were.

So it would be like a--

You could make a bubble in a bubble, yes. Third book of...[Era 2]...will have a moment where they try to do a time bubble in motion.

But if you had two people with the same power (Cadmium and Cadmium) how would they interfere?

Could there be additive time speed(diagram 1) and multiplicative time speed(diagram 2)? (diagram 2 being where one person activates then the second one does inside the first one)

(●): Person and their bubble
i: Zone of interference

Diagram 1: (●(i)●)

Diagram 2: ((●i●))

It nests and they amplify.

What happens if you create a time bubble in a time bubble?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

Lots of people are theorizing about that. The time bubble would not collapse, I’ll answer that much.

I think that you said at the Alloy release that it was mul—de...

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

Multiplicitive?

Zas (paraphrased)

Yeah. 

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

I may have given an answer to that or not. I’m not going to say anything about that. Time travel and find out.

Footnote: Stacked/overlapping time bubbles are multiplicative.
