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.

That's weird though. We don't really notice signs of Feruchemy decay in the Terris, but allomancy has definitely been in decline in the nobles. And allomancy in Nobles has been introduced far more recently. Perhaps this ancient source of feruchemy has much potential for exploitation. We should take it up with Hoid.

Shards don't draw blood, so arrows would have to hit the spine to be lethal. Rather difficult. Probably easier to just elsecall in with a knife all whack-a-mole style.

I'm grading him based on efficiency here. His results are, of course, quite stellar.

Here's a shardblade. You can kill his leg so he can't feel it anymore.I wish to be an edgedancer. The Awesome kind.

IIRC most of the spren were not pure Honor in the first place.On the subject of reviving the shard of Honor though. If we really do end up seeing the shards unsplintered I wonder how many "ascensions" (for lack of a better non-Mistborn term) we will witness until the end of this whole Cosmere saga?

Well, once we become Honor again we can try bringing them back, I guess. Though we'd just get murdered again.

Bottom line is that either way Oblit was himself already full Epic and has been for years, so it's not like he would give a crap either way. He wasn't "cured" yet. He may be about to do so, but until he does he would've still been a self-centered megalomaniac and would've prioritized the actual curing, leaving the city to be sent to kingdom come.

You are now Returned, and the only people with breath on your planet are people you don't even know scattered across the world. Every breath you consume will spawn yet another breath on a random stranger. And of course, you Returned, so you forget which games you've beaten already and have to do them all. Plus you're legally dead and thus have no identification papers to get around with. You have a small breath stock barely enough to last until you figure that out. I wish for some easy supply of steel to fuel the steel compounding I got from my last wish, again with the bane not affecting my powers (so I'll still have full powers but my life will just royally suck in a different area).

How many spren would one need for Ascension, I wonder. . .

What if doubling on a surge makes it even stronger than before?

You now live on Roshar, where seasons barely last a few weeks and change at random. I wish to be a steel compounder with a bane that affects something besides my powers.

Well, we've seen shards go from anywhere between popping in with the odd word or two at the back of someone's mind to carrying out entire (very awkward) conversations. It's possible the very first Sellish human created carried conversations with his/her creators and the names have passed down in distorted forms since. With the case of that mistborn spoiler above me
