States of matter and interactions of investiture

[Hoid the Former Drifter he/him]

I know that on scadrial, each shard has a metal and a gas, and preservation has a liquid. A. ruin also have a liquid? B. Brandon said that every shard has a metal. so does every shard have a liquid, gas, or both? C.  honor, cultivation, and odium obviously do. But is light a liquid or gas? Also whatever it is, do they have the other state of matter?

Feruchemy is a power based on the interaction between ruin and preservation.

Spoiler

Towerlight is honor and cultivation and warlight is honor and odium. D. what is the cultivation-odium light called? E. Can there be a combination of all three? F. Is towerlight essentially separate entity? G. If so, can there be a combination of lifelight and Towerlight? 

H. Can Autonomy and Harmony interact to make a power? (just an example)

 I think that Ruin does have a liquid, but it may have been destroyed when Kelsier destroyed the Pits. Either that or it doesn’t naturally occur. I think that is the way it is for all Shards.

Similar to how most Earth elements only occur naturally in a solid state, I think most God metals are like this unless the Shard specifically tries to make it otherwise.

In my opinion, Stormlight is a gas. The way it flows and can be seen as wisps rising off the skin is very gas like. I have some more basis for this theory, but can’t say it in this Forum.

Stormlight is liquid when it is in the highstorm. I think that it’s solid shape is a Shardblade.

Answers to questions in the spoiler

Spoiler

I think Cultivation + Odium is Revengelight. My train of thought is that hateful growth and improvement is led by revenge.

Cultivation’s light is called Lifelight

With our current knowledge, they can’t be combined, but this and the next few answers stray into spoiler territory.

Did you read RoW yet?

I think, to put Stormlight into the gas category, would be a major oversimplification at best, and flat out wrong at worst.

now, im definitely not a super smart person, so im having a little trouble trying put this into the right words, but... Brandon wrote the Cosmere to run on the same laws as our universe, with the addition of Investiture.

Because of that, Stormlight(and probably other Investiture gas/lights)can exhibit properties of other states of matter(liquid, gas,) but that doesnt mean that its either of those things. Its in its own lane

I have read Rhythm of War. I tried to answer all the questions with pre-RoW knowledge, but some were pure RoW knowledge so I didn’t even answer.

No RoW spoilers in Cosmere Q&A, please, they must be discussed in the RoW spoiler section.

Don't worry, I didn't put any spoilers in my answer, I hate it when people spoil stuff for me, so why would I do it to them. In the original question, he asked some questions inside of a spoiler box, so I answered those questions inside a spoiler box to help keep it organized.

True, and appreciated. Congrats on 300th.

But even spoiled RoW spoilers aren't allowed on here unfortunately. Anything mentioning RoW is exclusively to those boards.

I didn't put anything from RoW in the spoiler. If you were to open up my answer you would see that after I answered one or two questions, I actually wrote out "the next few answers stray into spoiler territory." and that is where I stopped.

I apologize for the double post, but I wanted to be sure that this person gets pinged. @STINK You are the only moderator that I see on right now. There has been nothing spoiled in the thread (I think), but in case other people come along and don't know the spoiler policy, could you move this to a RoW board? Thanks!

the question itself has RoW spoilers, so yea, this should be moved to the RoW board

[AonEne he/him]

For anyone who doesn't already know this, it's best to report a topic rather than ping or message individual moderators, because who's online can change very quickly. Thread moved.
