    Ferrings can't burn anything though. And who in their right mind would justify tearing pieces of someone's soul out of a guy and stapling it onto someone else for medical purposes? Not to mention best results would require a hemalurgic spike of lethal size. Like running someone through with a sword and proper aiming.

    If anybody knew the answer to that then the people in charge of writing these epigraphs won't be nearly as puzzled now would they? (speaking of which how does one make a ninja emoticon here? I see it a lot)

    At the very least pushing or pulling on individual parts of a piece of metal separately should be possible. I'm not sure if savants have enough raw power to bypass the immunity from being surrounded by blood though. Kelsier is nearly savant in only a few years for some reason, so anyone who fights as often as him would probably get there in a bit more than half a decade at most in my opinion, yet pushing on internal metal was unheard of. Bronze savants also don't seem to be much stronger in power, at least in comparison to a (weak) spiked boost, or copperclouds would be pierced left and right. TLR was essentially a total superhuman to the point that even a lerasium Fullborn probably won't be close to as strong without his tricks and self-modifications. Anything he does is likely absurd to even think about achieving with allomancy alone.

    They also had glowing glyths like the blades, and at the very least the helms could be dismissed and summoned as well in the visions. That along with the automatic features that still function would suggest something rather excessively complex enough to make you wonder how it can self-operate for a few thousand years nonstop. Speaking of, the gemstones are removable right? And Kaladin can power one piece directly. The gems might just be there so you won't, say, accidentally lock yourself in a suit of heavy armor if you drop your money in combat.

    Basically just substitute a Cosmere religious figure and/or some attribute of them into Earth profanity and it usually works.Sazed swore "by the forgotten gods" at the end of HoA.

    Google does not know all of the powers of Hoid. Yet.

    Put it in the Scadrian system and watch the dominant mineral of the planet be god metal geodes. Happy space mining.

    Normal usually is extremely weird.

    You swear as strangely as David's metaphors sound.

    Word doesn't exist in their language maybe?This Damnation language is known to not make much sense to outsiders.

    Well, Pattern does seem to have been slightly busted, and being dragged back into the physical realm so irregularly might not have helped. I also recall it being said that some spren just suck at being invisible, so Pattern probably can't hoover too far off and scare someone. Disembodied fractals are freaky. Besides, Cryptics don't seem to be attracted simply to lies. Truth hidden within the lies is the domain of the Order of Lightweavers. Syl honestly just acts like a windspren at times, always just floating off to watch people without warning. Not saying she isn't actually up to something beyond lashing people's shoelaces together when pissed but it fits the Windrunner thing.

    The point is that he hesitated enough to seem unsure whether there was a need to kill Szeth at all anymore now that he seems to have no desire to continue judging from where the conversation had been going, in my opinion. Before he would've murdered the opposition without a second thought and only doubted himself later before shrugging it off, now he actually has doubts about how much physical harm to the threat is actually necessary to fulfill his oaths. He opted to let the guy die in the confusion anyway to go after the sword anyway, of course, but at least he thought about it a bit. I guess that's progress.

    Well, I meant that more for those occasions where it'd be pretty bad to be caught swearing. . . though perhaps Vorin swear words in a church would be pretty ironic.

    Clearly Tia plays Infinity Blade.

    Some sadistic Inquisitor bursting his atium (duralumin or nicrosil) sees this in the future and murders you in your sleep before you do so. I wish to be able to allomantically burn stormlight (and for the bane to screw over something else terribly that isn't one of the powers I've been wishing for so far).

    It's been happening more to me lately. The other books don't do that to me, but something about those storming Vorin curse words just rolls off the tongue better than the rest. Part of it is probably because censor filters in internet forums (and real people) don't normally recognize Alethi I guess.

    Time for an Essence Mark Like that would ever happen but hey.

    Preservation is a dude, Ashkore. Don't make Leras feel awkward now.

    People have taken in stormlight of even greater quantities and stayed normal, so probably nowhere close I guess.

    It was probably screaming the whole week it would've taken to bond it too. Poor guy. I wonder what Glys is like now. Must be an interesting experience to find your bonded Radiant is a shardbearer after recovering sentience.

    We really need to pick a name for Naln and stick to it don't we? I'm a bit afraid newcomers might get confused by his multitude of names.

    I never really understood why those three got lumped together in the heightening scale. Lifesense apparently picks up spren too, but not drabs, so it's assumed to be an investiture radar of sorts. The other two can be left to wave frequency, but investiture by itself seems fairly inert. I guess most other visualizations of manipulated investiture are in the form of pulses. . . oh. Guess it does check out. I gotta think aloud in text more. Always come up with weird things like that.

    Huh. It's been a while since I looked at the map. Well at any rate it wouldn't cut through the wall right?

    Thinking about it. . . the Lost Radiants' shardblades have been neglected, quite literally forgotten, and left here for centuries frozen in death. Adolin still kind of cares enough about his sword to respect its existing (unknown) name, though of course he doesn't realize it is a sentient creature. The name thing never crossed anyone's mind but his, so he is in effect remembering someone long forgotten. Oh the irony. EDIT: With that said, the blade is a witness of the Recreance. That's a big reveal, so if it's coming back it will probably take a while.

    Still, the drawn line should logically not have to leave Elantris' walls, but inside I believe. So they really hsd to fix that bit. The comment on the direction clears up one thing for me though.
