the most useless uses for useful powers
natc replied to king of nowhere's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Juggling the lifeless rats with lifeless monkeys that are themselves being juggled by lifeless koloss. -
Does Syl even need sleep?
-
Are these normal lifeless, or Kalad's Phantoms? If it's normal lifeless I vote for koloss being easier to order around in an emergency, stronger, and tougher. If it's the phantoms, well . . . good luck ever stopping those. The best possible compromise without the Phantoms is, of course, lifeless koloss :3

Kaladin saying he was unfamiliar with his lashings occurred way before he went and jumped on and off a wall a few hundred times just to be able to fight Szeth properly. Unfamiliarity is no excuse to not do something, because you'll never be familiar with it before doing it. And he's actually rather good at falling with style now.
-
It only helps so much, and Stability might have better results, but it's probably still slightly more effective at staving off insanity compared to Potency no?
-
Well *Firefight spoilers* Wish I had a meme. It's difficult on a phone.
-
I've been under the impression that Honor is just especially bad at it. His intent is more the kind of thing that happens in one precise moment after all. Future sight is definitely possible with their powers, judging from truthwatchers, atium allomancers, etc. With stuff like luck feruchemy and, well, atium, I doubt an actual predestined future exists. It has to be extremely good extrapolation from current data.
-
Do parshendi normally get the Thrill? I forget. It might be that all voidspren forms meant for combat are just like that at all times?
-
And spren in general look like pretty much whatever they're named for. We've never seen a humanoid flamespren, period, or heard one speak. You can't really just look at a blob of fire and say it is a dude. Even Syl looks like random stuff a lot of the time, and she's honorspren.
-
Hoid seems convinced he can survive 6, and for all we know can probably survive 7 aa well. Forging might work, unless being stupidly invested rejects the stamp. Plus, essence marks of other people are ridiculously difficult to make without a test subject that knows that person very well.
-
And nobody has ever bonded one or seen one in Shadesmar yet either. Well, nobody who has done so in a PoV chapter anyway.
-
Even without the visible glowing, you'd think with that much stormlight being commanded at once his bronze senses would pick up something by now.

Theory: The Diagram was NOT created by rational deduction alone
natc replied to DefiantBurrito's topic in Stormlight Archive
The plan is pretty useless if nobody can read the plan no? -
Sazed wouldn't need Wax to learn about hemalurgy to mess with his mind either. He's technically already spiked part of the time.
-
Whoever it is he's supposed to be in charge now, IIRC, and we keep getting all these "ODIUM REIGNS!" being proclaimed.
-
Well he did have to regrow half his body IIRC.
-
Life itself is suffering, or so the Buddha want people to know. Living anywhere equals having a bad time.
-
That was my assumption as well, but they went the other route so meh.
-
It will pass through people, severing what parts of the spiritweb it intersects. Arrows have pretty low surface area, so it wouldn't really damage much, and as a shardblade it can't even cut arteries or have any stopping power.
-
Adhesion is no less underwhelming than Abrasion is, honestly. It's mundane, doesn't as blatantly break physics, but has many practical uses. Not everything is as spectacular as falling in the wrong direction.
-
Do soulcasters even function properly with a spren trapped in them? They've always run on gem type and stormlight charge only.
-
Bloodmaker actors will be in high demand, surely.
-
Perhaps we should mark Reckonerverse spoilers in the "Cosmere Theories" section?

Elhokar confirmed Returned *shot*

Make an action movie. Film all your bullet time shots with no SFX.
