0 Weltall Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Brandon has described the Rhythms on occasion as something coming from the Spiritual Realm that the listeners are sensing (and which A-Bronze could also pick up and Connection-manipulation could interpret) so I think that if you had a lot of Investiture in your soul you might be able to pick up on them due to how you're kind of a mini-Perpendicularity. Susebron for instance had some sense for the other Realms based on his dialogue, but we're talking lots and lots of Breath there, Dawnshard spoiler: Spoiler Rysn gets enhanced senses very similar to the Third Heightening and per Brandon this is because of how the Investiture is part of her and something similar would happen with any Investiture mixing with your soul in a similar way. While she has a greatly increased appreciation for color and sound, we don't see anything from her thoughts about suddenly hearing music (contrast Rock in Oathbringer who appears to be able to dimly perceive them at times) so the jury's out on the question of whether that Investiture boost is enough to hear the Rhythms or not. 1

Then again, rhythm is not melody. Maybe you need a higher Heightening for Perfect Rhythm, haha.
