. . . no it doesn't. I can have no use for a trillion dollars. That doesn't mean I had a trillion dollars, it's just as much as a simple reason for me to not try to earn that much, as I have no need to posses such wealth and working hard for something useless is stupid. Atium doesn't naturally exist as far as we know. If nobody had a reason to use it they wouldn't make it, much less Ruin himself who intended to use his power to overpower Preservation and wreck Scadrial from the beginning.

For all we know it could be, tbh. This is Brandon Sanderson.
-
You list three in a Trell discussion and forget Trell's religion? >_>
-
Ruin would have had very little use for atium prior to the existence of Mistborn as well. It's more worth it to use an atium spike on someone like that. He wouldn't want people to burn it away, that's silly. He's trying to be the stronger shard of the pair here. To begin with, we don't know how much time there was between when he created humans with Preservation and when the prison was made. Did he even have a reason to separate his power at all?
-
Well, good chance Regrowth fabrials don't, and soulcasters definitely don't since the gems get swapped out pretty often. But modern fabrials use spren trapped in gemstones, yes.
-
I'm pretty sure the Mistfallen are generally assumed to have no noble blood whatsoever. What's stopping every skaa in existence to simply have innate allomantic genes with potential way below the baseline needed to manifest? The mist-snapping is actively boosting power, as I recall.
-
He also tends to pretty much throw every established fact about a system out the window partway through. The initial knowledge about the fundamentals of things is often wrong, if known at all. Number of metals, shape of the functional aons (to be fair it was a little known connection), breath transfer mechanics . . .

Except she still recognizes Nalan's glowing to be the same as her awesomeness, so at the very least her investiture probably glows as well. It makes no sense for there to be such thing as straight investiture, to be honest, no more than there is straight energy or matter. It must have form. Being different from any other form would just mean it is in yet another form of manifestation.
-
If not Mistborn, at least in Cosmere theories. This section is for, like, meta discussion and memes.
-
Though it's the villains doing the overthrowing a lot as well as the protagonists.

People of the Cosmere... Stop Snorting!
natc replied to Unite Them's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Cosmere humans are actually made from sheep by Adonalsium? -
Kaladin didn't even do anything intentionally there. Syl practically offed herself for letting him pull that much stormlight in with a wonky bond.
-
Deceptive Harmony would not be all that unusual, but it bothers me that, as far as we know, he hasn't really told an outright lie yet. Maybe once or twice that slipped my mind, can't be that many. For the most part he merely dodges questions.
-
Considering how the majority of chemical elements are metal as well, that's probably true.
-
Syl is still sentient as a shardblade though.
-
And so it would seem the Tranquiline Halls are indeed off-world, but on top of that pre-Ascension, which means pre-Shattering. Interesting. Not having read the short stories much, where do the minor shardworlds get their humans? Were they there before, or is every human race in the cosmere either from Scadrial or Yolen?

[Theory] Neuroatypical issues and the Nahel bond
natc replied to Rakei's topic in Stormlight Archive
Well, Kaladin wasn't broken by depression itself. He was broken by other direct causes and the depression was pretty much always there as a hindrance. Shallan's powers also predate her known cases of denial. With Renarin, the autism might have brought on the breaking indirectly like the epilepsy, we don't know, but it wouldn't be the actual damage itself in my opinion. It certainly a hindering mental peculiarity that might have attracted Glys though. Radiant spren seem to get attracted to people who lack what their order stands for a lot for some reason. -
I think the logical steps between the evidence and conclusion are kinda . . . missing, from this sentence?
-
How could it have not worked then? Nothing comes to mind. Make [something]spren, spren bonds human, human becomes surgebinder. I see no complications.
-
There would likely also be Adonalsium spren somewhere, since it does seem Roshar had been bent towards his(?) design from the beginning.
-
It's definitely a WoB. I suck at finding them though. Herdazians are also part-parshendi. Which raises a question as to whether any of the races are part Aimian.
-
It's also exactly why I brought up Elendel. I mean, it's unnatural as it can get, as I said, and only one shard had existed when it popped up. I figured the implication was obvious.
-
I swear it's literally explained in the very conversation that name was brought up, but I forget. Also, did we just downvote someone for asking a question?
-
Of course you can make gold in nuclear reactors. We're talking about trying to fuse enough to fill planets adequately using nothing but stars and supernovas (and considering what stars actually use for fuel we're making gold out of hydrogen and other light gases as the base, of all things), which without some form of human intervention would always on average produce the easiest and most stable result. I mean, why bring up artificial nuclear fusion in response to a statement about the natural synthesis of gold in the universe? That's kind of strange of you.

I was under the impression that it was just whoever had the bigger piece and could put more stormlight into it.
