. . . that's not a perk though. That's just compounding. The simplest magic hack in the cosmere we know of. A perk would be something like the mnemonic abilities of lightweavers (what does that have to do with Transformation/soulcasting and Illumination/waveforms?). Something separate from the powers themselves, relatively more minor, but there.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

It be 23:00 at GMT-8 and they ought to be going to bed (and probably not doing so). -
Well, he refuses to take up more shards, so he could remain as Odium. He would've had to take on the 1v2 matchups at a disadvantage eventually. Might as well do it earlier and make a show of it for intimidation factor.

the most useless uses for useful powers
natc replied to king of nowhere's topic in Cosmere Discussion
But it would enhance the uselessness! -
It expands your mind to be able to process the information of a shadow (technically, spiritual Connection). If the prediction powers suddenly start giving completely indecisive results of course you would fumble over which to follow if at all. I'm not getting that hypothetical setup here. If both were burning atium why would you even be reacting to an atium shadow anyway when there's basically nothing meaningful to see? The only time reaction time matters is when someone isn't burning atium.

Also, I don't see the problem of being happy after passing on. Isn't that the basis of afterlife for, well, a ton of religions? That you've done enough and suffered enough in life, and now you can move on? They gave their lives and all their effort to preserve the world, now they can rest in peace together. Unlike a certain meddling fellow.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

Eh, nobody really primarily speaks English in my country and they pretty much use both. It's honestly common enough and simple enough to be unable to read it wrong if you've seen it once or twice. -
1. If you haven't noticed Kelsier has speaking lines at least twice in Hero of Ages. He did it after dying. Read Secret History. 2. Harmony has been mentioning "other" people when saying how behind Elendel is in technology for some time now. Outside of books, we've known from interviews for years. 3. . . . Did you read the very end? That's clearly not the Lord Ruler who saved the South as the Sovereign. 4. Wax's soul wasn't straight up in the afterlife yet. Once that's gone there's nothing you can do. If it's still around you just gotta fix the connection before the body goes byebye and heal it up to not immediately die again. It worked in a different series once before. The bands of mourning contained feruchemical gold abilities, which are capable of healing even spiritual wounds. Harmony didn't actually do anything here. Probably could've, but then again he's Harmony so he basically can't. Also, read Secret History and enjoy the adventures of you-know-who!

Roshar is noticeably lacking in diseases due to constant stormlight exposure. An outbreak of anything as minor as a common cold already counts as a serious plague. Infusing yourself outright through surgebinding constantly heals you simply because the stormlight exists. Minor health benefits, however, shouldn't make a difference in dying from hypothermia on a mild sunny day should it?
-
Now we just need to send TLR to Roshar to OnePunch chasmfiends. . . . I actually wouldn't be surprised if he could decelerate meteors with steelpushes alone actually.

Atium also generates shadows for literally everything that moves, while you can only see yourself with electrum. It's a bit less messy.

Windrunner: 17 (heal) Dustbringer: 7 (hurt) Elsecaller: 1 Let's try to put Windrunner to 20 guys.

AM and PM isn't American, it's globally used . . . and so is the 24 hour clock. When you.want a heating fabrial in your house to save on electricity. -
My name is weird for my country. The closest I've ever met is spelled differently with the strangely more common spelling (even though that spelling is objectively wrong and results in gibberish rather than a name with an actual definition), and even then that's only the one guy I've found.
-
Well, soulcasters are ancient fabrials, and the gems get shattered so much and swapped out depending on the wanted results, that I'm pretty sure the gems are empty.

All the plants in the Village secretly come from that shrub.

You could always find an online dictionary with a pronounce button I guess.

We're saying he could've figured out a way to gain allomancy with the lerasium without burning it away. That seems too simple an answer for all that teasing.

theory [BoM SPOILERS] What K and N were looking for
natc replied to Nashan’Elin's topic in Cosmere Discussion
He would have to figure out how to even get mists that don't always show up, and only in Harmony's presence from what we've seen, to actually help an alien. Compared to stormlight which highstorms simply vomit all over the planet with little regard for a focused purpose. -
Asking me to hit up the WoB lists and finding literally every quote about lerasium is a bit much.Also, still can't just script a Theoryland quote due to being on a phone, so I'd say just hit up the coppermind and scroll down to reference number 4 to find it. Once they become so powerful, if they aren't snapped automatically all you really have to do is beat them up until they almost die, and voila. Simple stuff really.

They didn't know it did, but he left pretty quickly so who can say?
-
The decoy thing? Yeah I think it was. Of course he was one from the beginning so he clearly cares much less about it than he claims but still. He also claims to be immortal four times over or something, so he's probably pretended to absorb several High Epics by now. You'd need to get around multiple invincibilities to even come close to killing him, if he was a "mere" assumer.
