Feruchemical pewter doesn't do that, only allomantic pewter. Compounding pewter will only give you an inordinate amount of muscle mass and brute strength approaching infinity.

Theory: two shards become one (Harmony)
natc replied to Kaladin al'Thor's topic in Cosmere Discussion
The Preservation overload appears to be the origin point of mistings as well as sentience, so he can't really change that part. Koloss-blooded mistings also exist so they're probably normal too. The atium assumption does seem simplest, and the 300 year estimate a bit uncanny. Kind of difficult to hide though. The Well's location is always magnetic north, and be it as the black lake or as Hathsin the Ruin pool is always within a few days journey of the well. It might even be a fixed position. -
I was thinking more about whether the "corpse" can even be considered a lifeform. I doubt the voidspren will stick around after being hit by a shardblade so many times.

His real personality is the type to let entire worlds burn if it will fulfill his objective.He's just a brilliant actor who had tens of thousands of years to work with, in my opinion. Sometimes he just acts his age I guess. And of course he's older in some than in others, the books are centuries apart half the time.

The thing being while the metal's existence only creates deadly superwarriors, absorbing it back would just push Harmony towards becoming Ruin, and the end of the world will come. The burned atium, like other metal, probably doesn't just disappear but returns to the shardpool instead. It all depends on whether the pools are still intact, and even with both pools reclaimed Harmony will still become Ruin, as Preservation's greatest expenditure of power was human souls. -
No amount of ATP alone is just going to make hair grow like that. Though they probably need it.
-
Does magically changing your hair color even use ATP? That's one hell of an unnatural chemical reaction.

Most of the shards probably were not exactly prioritizing genetic accuracy.

Lifeless voidbringers ahoy! I wonder if you can awaken thunderclasts . . .

He commits suicide by cop in both versions of the final battle.

You have to experience prolonged malnutrition/buy extra helpings of food to store though.

But how do you determine if those people are good? It's entirely subjective. Nightblood seems to have an arbitrarily broad definition of evil due to being an utter imbecile regarding does things, so anyone he doesn't designate as evil will be good to him. And considering how easy it is to get marked as evil by him (all you really have to do is consider the thought of picking him up really) you'd have to be pretty damnation virtuous to fall into the not-DESTROY category.

If I'm understanding atium shadows properly, the shadow splits when the person being predicted is themselves predicting the future, either through atium, electrum, or doing the Vin trick. So doesn't that mean that electrum shadows split immediately as soon as you start burning? That sounds pretty useless. Even more useless than I thought.

I remember from some Sazed dialogue that you can only store wakefulness while sleeping (because obviously storing enough wakefulness automatically knocks you out cold) but I could be wrong.

Well, you have multiple types of stone, and depending on where you grow up your mental image of stone would differ based on what stones you've had most experience with. However, unless you specify that type while soulcasting things to stone the only result would be the default, spiritually ideal "stone" substance. So their might be an ideal state of beauty, just as there is an ideal state of "health" for healing magics that aren't Aon based (storming complicated, that thing), but it can be cognitively distorted when manifested with investiture. I guess.

It's a Lifeless. Just use the default one-breath Lifeless command. Works on squirrels, so it should work on horses.If you're talking about the command after that, just telling it to serve as your steed in some sort of specific phrasing ought not to be hard to mentally picture.

Skybreakers have gravitation and division. So they can suck projectiles and small objects towards another object or make things fall in the wrong direction, like Kaladin, but can't stick things together like him, which only windrunners and bondsmiths have. Their division surge does whatever it is it does in dustbringers, which is what we are discussing here in this off-topic tangent about a sword that possesses no surges in the first place. Are we crazy or what? :3 Since dustbringers are the first thought when it comes to burning stone, it is more likely to be a trick based on surge interaction than it is a technique of any individual surge, or else skybreakers or edgedancers would be doing it too and Kalak would not look at the burn marks and just assume "oh, dustbringers have been here".

Because the Mists seem explicitly designed to snap 16% of any given exposed population?
-
Nightblood's only infamous characteristic is not knowing what evil is.
-
There's necromancy going on on the theory section btw. Well, clearly he vaporizes things by default through some non-surge process, and he us predicted to grant sone different sort of power entirely while on Roshar due to realmatic shenanigans.
-
My friend, I think you just became a necromancer.
-
Which we don't actually know what it does, do we? Also, Dustbringers. DESTROY!!!

Burning non-allomantic metal is fatal.

Clearly Ryshadium are actually Returned horses exported from Nalthis
