  1. When he modified plants to be both edible, and able to exist with very low sunlight, was he granted knowledge about biology, or did he just tell the power to create an outcome. 

    If the first, why wasn't he also granted knowledge of what temperature life needs to be, and the knowledge of physics to calculate how far that means the planet needs to be, although I guess he might not have been able to tell the temperature of the sun. 

    If the second, why couldn't he instruct them to put the planet in a safe orbit.

    I think Lightweavers' Truths are less about morality and more about self-awareness and development, and that they not have that much moral limitations than other orders. They were also said to be most individualistic order, so i don't think this would be like 'all Lightweavers do the same thing'

    If they are the most individualistic order, what could of caused them to all kill their spren. Also they don't exactly have oaths to break, how can they kill their spren, I guess they have to want to kill their spren. I guess that puts weight behind the theory that the spren all did something wrong, which angered the KR. 

  3. As above, Feruchemy compounding is the only mixing of two powers that we have seen. If we extrapolate from this then it seems that drawing a foreign power through a lens causes the power to match the lens. I’d guess if you somehow managed to put only a few breaths into some metal so that it doesn’t turn sentient, burning it would then cause Preservation's power to be turned into more breaths, the breaths could be a bit strange though.

    Feruchemy is already linked to Allomancy though, so I’m unsure if such a thing could be done between two different systems.

    We know some mixing is going on with Vasher, he is using stormlight to fuel his divine breath, maybe when he absorbs stormlight it increases his heightening, he might even be able to do awakening that leaks with it. Will we get to see Vasher using stormlight, well Nightblood has become an important element so there may be a strong crossover in the next few books.

  4. Surge fabricals being the 3rd system seems too similar to the radiant system. I think the WoB is a trick, it says that a "part" of it fabricals, not that it "is" fabricals. The third system could involve fabricals that let someone create some kind of bond with the trapped spren.

    Also can you have a magic system that is fully "mechanized", i.e. doesn't need a sentient user. The "fabricals" in mistborn aren't their own system, so the surge fabricals probably aren't as well.

  5. Take the stones of the IRE keep, if one was turned back into bead form, would it look like a ball of mist, or whatever the beads of Sel look like? My guess is the second.
    Also what if a physical object is taken from Roshar to Scadrial, would it look like mist or glass in the cognitive realm. Maybe to start with it would look like glass, but overtime as more Scadrialains see the object it would change to mist.

  6. That's a good point. And made further interesting by the cast number of possible combinations of twinborn. It's completely possible - likely, even - that there are combinations that have yet to ever be realized. Some of which could have VERY interesting "bonuses."

    Also makes it all the more impressive how many Twinborn Wax has killed. At least two that I can think of.

    I'm probably bring stupid, but I can't think of the second twinborn he killed, I can only think of Miles. Who is it?
