We're not expecting an actual Nahel Bond though. He just needs powers. Powers that have never existed on Roshar before would actually be perfect. Nightblood barely behaves like a biochromatic entity as is. And I haven't seen the part about awakening not working. Anybody have a quote of that? It sounds weird because between Z and Hoid the heightenings themselves function fine. The Divine Breath maintains potency as well.

The convenient detail about Epics with a power set that alters reality based on probability. You just have to know what you want, and it doesn't need to be terribly accurate. Unlike Aons. Firefight needs to figure out how to continuously sustain a reality shift where she is specified as "standing in enemy's blind spot". That will be fun.

Accelerator is worse than Newton on crack. He reflects anything from bullets to explosions to teleportation. He can do damnation near anything within his powers within the bounds of physical phenomena. Tanks God's Purge without a scratch. And yet he's far from OP in that series Mikoto is awesome though. Though her Sisters account for 99% of the harem.

Dat 3 year necro.

If Seon bonds supposedly should be able to grant some sort of power when relocated to Roshar when they basically did nothing prior, I'm sure the Nightblood bond will do something other than just vaporizing everything it cuts.

Well she certainly doesn't care for the moral and social implications of dating her own brother-in-law after her husband died.

How does one define "mobile" here though? They can change form, so if you want the statue to walk they'll just have to walk in stop motion real storming fast. It's a weird topic to bring up.

Kalad's Phantoms, a Shardstatue would be horrifying.

The weirdest thing, is how dead shardblades still affect eye color, but Kaladin can sustain a bond for years without anything happening, then when he finally swears to the third windrunner ideal only gets a temporary but drastic change in color. And even that seems to have been triggered by the massive amount of surgebinding only.

Never touched the downvote button in my life. Either someone else was using this computer or it wasn't me at all.

Do note that Honor's future sight appears to be grossly inaccurate. Probably less inaccurate than Ruin, but not all that great. The way HoA is paced Ruin can't seem to even go beyond a few minutes if not seconds.

Back we come to the Knights Kholin. This is getting out of hand. So much bonding.

He is either talking about the guy that just got elected, or Jezrien himself.

Being serious for a second. What general thing or concept would a Hoidspren be attracted to that would make them only follow Hoid? Extreme wittiness? Insults? Extremely large amounts of investiture from numerous shards? Something only Yolen humans have?

It would've had to coincidentally passed through a bind point on some poor cremling previously stabbed by the knife, and since it wasn't direct impalement it's probably very weak now

Um, I know. Couldn't have written that stuff if I didn't.

If that certain Nightblood-related person has been living off of stormlight this whole time then I think even entities that are of Endowment find stormlight to be a generic enough investiture source to a certain degree. Of course Nightblood will probably absorb it on contact... Though what would actually happen when Nightblood starts granting pseudo-surges will be interesting.

So a honorblade can be seen as...kind of a non-sapient spren? With respect to being a fragment of power.

Knowing he can do so kind of requires knowing who he is in the first place... Absorbing his native type of investiture though, is something pretty much anyone can do where he comes from, so I would think there is a trick involved using his more unique attributes or some inherent part of investiture's nature, as stormlight just doesn't function that way.

As much as Misaka is one of the better love interests for that series, Accelerator is just too OP against espers. His powers are just stupid against opponents grounded in normal physics (and somewhat weak against anything else >_>). But why him of all people to be reminded of?

Can you not triple post and spoil twice >_> The Edit button exists.

I guess you don't Allomancy is an end-positive system fueled by power siphoned externally from Preservation (except for atium burning) into the allomancer, using the atomic structure of a burned metal as a catalyst to manifest the power in specific ways, so as to not require usage of what you actually have in your body (preserving yourself, end-positive overall as you are always either at the natural level of investiture or more). Feruchemy can enhance certain aspects of yourself to varying degrees by pulling investiture stored in the metalmind out of the metal at freely controlled rates, making the duration and strength of enhancement variable but inversely proportional, it's main advantage over allomancy with it's more inflexible rate of enhancement. However, you must first remove those traits from yourself for a time. When treating your body as a closed system it is clearly experiencing deficit at first, but assuming you eventually tap all of your charges completely down the line you essentially exist with more than the average amount of innate investiture for a time, which averages out by the end of your life as 0 change (completely preserved, end-neutral overall). Hemalurgy is so complicated and gory I don't feel like explaining. The gore makes it obvious though XD Easily the most abusable one here though, by its very nature. I would assume decay of allomantic strength in nobility is due to that unnatural extra amount of investiture they recieved from their ancestors not being inherited 100% each generation, so whatever created feruchemy initially must have been done through a structural modification to the spiritual DNA of the Terris, no? If it is a physical substance, then there is abuse potential. If another shard appears on Scadrial and a new god metal created, with some alloy shenanigans we might even create new metallic arts somehow. Perhaps even other things. I would kill for a bead that makes me Awesome or creates Elantrians. Maybe even edible Divine Breath.

To be fair, most (all?) of the Hazekillers butchered in the trilogy have fallen to Kelsier and Vin, two exceptionally talented and badass mistborn. Mistborn have their reputation as one-(wo)man-armies, so even with all the proper training you're really just pushing your luck. The sheer combat potential of all these abilities being present in one person is just too high even without taking into account that they're one of the two types of allomancers that can burn atium. Against a misting a hazekiller will probably wreck face. I really want a hazekiller series now, after Firefight. The potential of anti-allomancer experts goes up the more technology develops on Scadrial, so it'll only get better and better as the centuries go by until we get one.

Honor spoke of Radiants as well though, hasn't he? Well, the vision-recording of him did. Cultivation is also still alive as far as we know, and many spren are hybrids of those shards. There have been pieces of shards going about in other cosmere novels both before and after the god has kicked the bucket completely as well.
