Miyabi

Based on what we've seen of her, putting more than one Avatar in a location would be out of character. Also, we only see Avatars where there aren't other Shards in play. At least so far.

Haha. That's always fun. Which person is that?

Iri - The Iriali got some crazy secrets going on. I wanna know more!

Last I heard they were trying REALLY hard to make that happen, but no for sure yet.

Figured I could start coming back around again. ^.^ I've been around... a long time. Haha. Life got in the way for a long time, but it's been great the last 19 months or so. I see some of ya'll on Facebook, but figured I'd come back around on here. For those that don't know me I'm Miyabi. Been a long time beta reader and community member.

I'm one of two Buddhists? lol. xD

Well hello everyone. I don't know who's all still around that would remember me, but I've been around for ... well a LONG time. xD Also, on this page. You can change the Miyabi defense. It's not a theory. It's definitely named after me.

I'm more interested in the concept of a Spren and their Nahel Bonded human hating each other, but continuing on due to the ideals. The likelihood of this happening I feel is very low considering the two would have to share a core set of ideals in order to be Bonded. Generally people who share the same beliefs get a long. Though I could imagine that, while wanting the same things, the way they want to go about them could be different which could cause tension between them, but when it came down to it, they helped each other in order to achieve the larger goal. This would be a very interesting relationship to see explored by a character, even if it was just an interlude character or someone we only saw once or twice.

I like this. It's not something I have personally considered, but will have to when I reread WoR the next time.

I can see what you're saying, but I think once he gets there his need for revenge will abate as he reasons through whether killing people is a good idea or not. I feel like he will become similar to a "nuclear deterrent." He'll show how grossly powerful he is and kill a bunch of people and then be used a pacing mechanism to say, "You better not, or else."

Not necessarily. I forget exactly where I would find a WoB on the issue, but he has said in the past that the Hoid we see may be more than one person.

LOL

YAY!!! =D What do you guys think?

Oh, I'm exceptionally excited to hear the dialogue between Szeth and Nightblood. Previously Nightblood has had little to no real conceptualization as to what good and evil are and makes arbitrary decision based on the ideals of his previous wielders. I imagine the two will have a number of conversations that go like this: "No, Nightblood, that's evil." "Why?" "Because reasons you wouldn't understand." "BUT WHYYYYYYYYY!?" haha. Odium ... Hmm. I guess his and Honor's thoughts on Nightblood would depend on whose side he's on.

Well let's dabble around and make a few things and see if we can start something. What are people's email address. I'll invite everyone to a Google Doc who wants to participate and we can just see where it goes, or if it dies out after a while.

16 is important because that is the amount of pieces that Adonalsium shattered into and is a fundamental piece of the Cosmere. The 10, if I had to guess, would be because it is something which was chosen by Honor. He gave 10 people his power, he made them create 10 orders. The magic itself isn't based on 10, just the culture and the number of orders. I'd be willing to bet if you broke down the magic system mathematically it's based on 16 in some way or another. Something like a chit stores 16 units of STormlight and a Mark stores 156, etc. The different magic systems is a thing that can be affected by a lot of things. The Shard's intent, its strength, etc.

It would be something that would require a number of people working in tandem to keep updated and working properly.

Aons 10 Breath 9 Elantris 8 Ferring 11 Hemalurgy 3 Investiture 9 Lerasium 10 Miles 14 Preservation 10 Kelsier 18

I could see something organized in that fashion. Like one document would be an introduction; one about Hoid; one about Adonalsium; one about Physical/Spiritual/Mental; etc.

Oh, that's a good idea. Especially considering the way Dogs allows you to highlight things and add annotations, that could be used to providing reference points.

I would imagine that the originally Awakening still needed to be done using Breaths. Investiture is really tricky, to use it as a catalyst to make another magic work is something I think would be really difficult, but simply fueling an already existing creation I think is more plausible.

That is true, though considering who his new associates are I assume it won't be long before he's bound to a Spren.

Thank you! ^.^ Yeah, I've been gone for ages. A-ha! I'm glad there's already WoB on the matter. Considering we have Marsh teaching people about Hemalurgy, I feel that before we reach the end of SA we will see it used at least once or twice on Roshar. Especially considering how closely related these things are timewise.
