  1. The hazekiller... It can't be gold unless the way such things are determinated changed. Gold is multicolor, and only artifacts and superexceptional stuff like eldrazi can be colorless. Plus, just because the card is a mercenary doens't mean it must be colorless, since colors are as much about mechanics as they are about flavor. I'd say it should be white on default, if only because it is a soldier and its ability seems to be somewhere between white and blue.
  2. 17th shard confirmed now.
  3. It is expensive even for a 7/7, since it needs six especificaly colored mana plus X mana that you want to pay so his ability isn't useless. Plus, if both Xs are supposed to be the same, you should use markers or something like that. And that Vin card looks a little overpowered, at least the "steel" ability.
  4. Except you said yourself one way his bond affected him in WoK: the Thrill disgusted him. If Taravangian is right, the Thrill comes from Nergaul, an unmade, an unholy mix of super voidspren and anti-herald and what the Parshendi call "gods". Being repulsed by the Thrill, combined with Kaladin never having felt it in battle, points towards proto-radiants being protected from it.
  5. He does not need to be a compounder. Perhaps the sevententh shard puts its non-ageless agents in time bubbles or cryogenic sleep when they are not needed but are deemed too valuable to retire and die from old age. Of course, it would need some very good arguments to convince their agents to go through this.
  6. "Nascidos de la bruma" does not suck at all. Better than here in Brazil, where it became: "Mistborn:Nascidos da Bruma". For those who don't know portuguese, that is equivalent to: Mistborn:Mistborn. Also, while " La guerra de las tormentas" (meaning: "The war of the storms") is a tad cliche and bland, Brandon does not make it very easy for translators, since as far as I know(not much) in most romance languages you can't just attach two words to make a new one like mistborn or stormlight without it ending stupid, meaningless or most likely both.
  7. Maybe he picked so many different magics and abused them in so many ways that by the point of the shattering he was more splinter than man, or was changed in some other significant way, like becoming some sort of universal investiture savant that can't even hold his body together without magic, but can use it with incredible precision and efficacy.
  8. Maybe the best way was if he wrote more stand-alone books between his main series while avoiding starting new series? Of course, that is all hypothetical, you can't tell an author to tame their creativity.
  9. A cognitive shadow, the image of what remains of the one who was gone given life by a last burst of power?
  10. Again, if anyone other than Taln crashes into Kholinar saying they are Talenel'elin, the Stonesinew, and screams the time of the Desolation is nigh, they are quite storming lost.
  11. I believe that was a special case: Dalinar was already a proto-radiant with a weak bond to the Stormfather, and he was compatible with the bondsmiths. Plus, maybe Honor implanted an order into the Stormfather's mind before dying: find a bondsmith. We know he couldn't refuse to deliver the visions, so it is not a stretch for him to be unable to ignore the Words.
  12. You are assuming mild autism that still allows him to function well when society doens't try to force him to act like a neurotypical is something that needs healing. That would be similar to saying that Stormlight should make Kaladin like drinking with his friends or make Dalinar less rigid or "cure" homosexuality.What is wrong with Renarin not being "normal" if he can still function?
  13. Perhaps, but maybe just sliding across desintegrated stone wearing shardplate is enough? I don't know if just the dust crashing against itself would be enough.
  14. To be fair, he was already past his prime and wouldn't have the time to put on a plate by the time Szeth reached Gavilar. And if he was Plateless he wouldn't have much chance when Szeth surprised him by walking on the ceiling.
  15. Jasnah is passionate about her scholarship, ardent in her defense of her beliefs, and is capable of emotional breakdowns, as seem when Shallan saw her before the night of her "death". In the first two cases, her passion manifests itself in her determination and exagerated sureness, and in the last we see the aftermatch of the supression of her fear. I do not believe it is realy possible to show determination without being passionate about something.
  16. While I am an INTP, not an INTJ, I can say that Thinking types can indee be passionate. It is just that while F types feel all their emotions fully and find more or less productive ways to deal with them, T types are less likely to have emotional responses to everything, since they, especialy NTs, tend to be slightly detached from day to day life and are less likely to form attachments to things they consider uninportant, like a favorite clothe or an old memorabilia. Stronger emotional responses, if seem as counterproductive, are generaly put behind a dam, since T types are bad at dealing with them immediataly, generaly prefering as little interference in their rational thoughts. But this dam is not perfect, and if we try to keep it up for too long we lash out and break down. Emotions seem as acceptable, useful or generaly good are displayed normaly, even if in a different fashion than F types. One can be passionate about their mission, as long as it does not prove self destructive by getting in the way of its fuffilment. It is not that T types don't feel, but they deal with their feelings by trying to supress them when they don't let they think straight, while F types prefer to just deal with their feelings as they come. If everythink goes alright, Ts can surpress their feelings when they need and later let go without great stress while Fs can deal with their feelings without them taking over. When things go bad, Ts can have sudden emotional outbursts and strain themselves greatly by trying to plug the holes of the proverbial dam with no sucess, while Fs reject all rational thought that does not conform with their emotions. Just what I think, I am by no means an especialist and may be completely wrong.
  17. I suspect and was suspect by others to have mild Asperger's syndrome, but never really took a test. By the way, I am also an INTP.
  18. Yeah, I was mostly oposed to the "slow and painful" part, since I also don't think Mraize is up to anything good. Still, I hope we discover something that makes it nore ambiguous, since Brandon's books have a distinct black and white moral division that gets tiring. Not that having amoral "heros" just in it for themselves would be better, of course.
  19. Syl could take Kaladin's stormlight away when he tried to use it to fight Adolin, and I don't think Nightblood could refuse being used after someone picks him up without entering a mass murder rage.
  20. And even after Adolin accepted his father's visions, he was still creeped out by the writing in the wall and believed prescience to be of the voidbringers.
  21. Uh, am I the only one who does not hate the villains I know almost nothing about? Plus, I don't want anyone to have a slow, painful death. It seems... meaningless, punishing someone with unnecessary suffering for the sake of punishment itself. Maybe a quicky death so they can't be a threath, like Sadeas was given, maybe being humiliated and cast away or imprisioned. Maybe losing an eye or arm. But a slow and painful death? No.
  22. Would you rather become a intelligent spren that had to find a suitable partner, wich in this case must be a madman who calls himself Taln, before losing your mind, or a sentient sword awakened to destroy evil, but be forced to always ponder the morality of your actions and question the concept of evil?
  23. Yesteel isn't dead thought? I think you mean Arsteel.
  24. It was supposed to be silly. I am 102.7% sure I am quite bad at being funny thought. The point is, Wax&Wayne is more like a prequel of sorts to the second era mistborn triology.
  25. Alloy of law is not part of the great triology of triologies that mistborn was supposed to be, but a side project that grew into its own series. It is era 1.6703
