    Well, Gravitation can do various things relating to gravity, like basic and reverse lashings being different. Lightweaving can actually produce sound, apparently, because waveforms, and Growth can both heal and cause growth acceleration in plants. It's entirely possible that elsecalling is normally capable of being near-instantaneous teleportion through the physical realm, but can also be used to send yourself into Shadesmar.

    Aon Omi is, in fact, the source of thd name I believe. Love, was it?

    The mists are basically an autonomous force at this point, Leras set it up that way because he knew (and counted on the fact that) he was screwed. Besides, she apparently had a strong Connection to Preservation somehow (having been a strangely powerful allomancer and the shard just picking her out as a vessel like that) so all in all the mists likely couldn't refuse.

    Aon Aon is in every single one. Those you mention are more literally a map. Draw Arelon, add icon for that geographical feature in question (a forest for wood gets marked with an X or something) and bam, wood.

    The ultimate Spoiled Tomato. It must be done.

    Stormblessed peasant forgot to request something and thus gets the buffer of banes we've saved up starting from after the last guy forgot. I to be Returned when I die.

    Seeing others' futures can't be atium-electrum, because pure atium does that Malatium can actually also be argued as an internal metal, because it is essentially an additional sense like electrum and gold. On the other hand it also reads other people's connections rather than your own . . .

    It wouldn't be more impressive than a koloss-blooded brute. Having too much muscle would make movement difficult. Only practical purpose to compounding pewter is to make your supply of magic muscle growth effectively bottomless. And that they will also be a pewterarm by definition.

    Shallan will soulcast a whole tree at some point. But then she's stuck needing to turn stick into fire again and fails.

    The official story from VenDell was that ReLuur was ancient, yes? Also the possibility that Rashek had secretly tested atium blessings before . . . or that is "trellium" with the red bits shaved off. Think those were that color too?

    Well, in a city with roads everywhere I'd imagine it'd probably make more sense to put budget towards stronger lampposts than to make space for spikeways. You could also just bounce off of buildings if you're careful. Spikeways do actually take some practice to get going on, mind you. Vin was a quick learner doing it in barren wasteland instead of a crowded city with carriages and cars.

    The kind of thing that TLR could probably do by himself if he felt like dying, really . . . The more we learn from books about the metallic arts the more retroactively broken he becomes. Which is awesome.

    That last spoiler though. Is actually proven wrong in its own context a lot

    Integrationalsium produces some pretty complicated realmatics . . .

    Preservation being equally bad is a pretty simple conclusion actually. His intent promotes endless stagnation. Nothing dies (or at least he'll try to keep it that way if possible), but nothing grows or even changes. That's not really living, in my opinion, and you will be there until the end, knowing that there will never be better days to be had. The Final Empire was basically an unchanging culture. Only one religion, immortal ruler, technological development is suppressed. Imagine that going on for eternity.

    Having this many worlds be suitable for life within a single dwarf galaxy seems a bit of a stretch. Actually, for all we know Adonalsium made Yolen. He certainly had influence on the formation of Roshar, according to the Letter.

    . . . bright flames burn down faster?

    It's an actual filter on this site. "Badass" goes through, but remove the bad part and it turns into chull.

    The problem with "filled to the brim" isn't how much that's actually woth for each person. It's the issue of getting that amount. Short of asking the Alethi monarchy for money to hold it all like Kaladin, that's going to be a lot of stormlight . . .
  20. natc
    Well, they probably weren't supposed to, Oathpact and all. And obviously leaving Taln to hold the fort by himself is precisely what they wound up doing. Didn't seem to end well, they're now all somewhat hypocritically insane.

    Intents are much more varied in nature, I'd agree, but I just intended to categorize them from one perspective. There are plenty of other ways. Same with grouping types of people really. It's never truly accurate, just there to analyze a particular characteristic. You have to read all classifications to get a good picture of a guy.

    The brokenness most probably correlates to spiritual damage in some way, which as seen with allomancers are necessary to provide the gap in the soul through which investiture can flow through and be channeled by that person. Though it does seem surgebinding doesn't need as deep of a trauma threshold as pre-Empire-era allomancy to channel stormlight properly. Point being that if they weren't broken their powers shouldn't even function.
  23. natc
    I'd like to point out that a regrowth fabrial doesn't necessarily need a surgebinding spren to function. Soulcasters are also an ancient, surge-replicating fabrial, and the gems (where spren are trapped in modern fabrials) in them are both completely interchangeable as needed and shatter regularly from overstress.

    Or at the very least, instant savanthood.

    So basically, in the end Honor and Odium are actually both related to binding people . . . one of the constructive sort and one of the negative sort. Cultivation is, on the other hand, singled out as relating more to "change", where Ruin is the negative and Preservation is the complete absence of.
