    Nope, It's Syl.

    buy. And I can see it also being his own fault he has to die (kind of like Samson). Shallan will join the Ghostbloods, and if that is an easy buy, she will also join another secret society besides the Ghostbloods.

    What do you call a Returned Elf Queen?

    Curiosity got it. It was Yalb.

    I travel where men do not walk. I risk what I am given and gain by deception. Fortune follows the third try. Anyone who knows the Passions knows this. Edits are Boldfaced

    The upvote is because of this.
  7. Xaladin
    No way! That's totally Lift!

    Yes, Lindel got it. It was Jewels.
  9. Xaladin
    No.

    I am a proud believer. I am misunderstood by them who do not believe as I do. Without trying, I sneak and am not anticipated. I care for and control one who has deceased. My name shines, though I myself do not.

    The Nightwatcher?

    Kiin is correct. (He is Boss!)

    Just a minute (I'll edit this post when I write it). I once favored pleasure over responsibility. I dealt punishment to those I felt deserved it. Since then, I have grown up. I refuse to succumb to the will of mortal regents. I hid one who once was damned. I fought even the most callous of demonic destroyers.

    Denth?
  15. Xaladin
    Renarin? Eshonai? (this guess doesn't make sense?) Nightblood?
  16. Xaladin
    Honor/Tanavast?

    Kesier is just an Alomancer. I believe Kelsier is the Allomancer you are looking for. Except he's a little busy being "dead."

    For Hoid to have Returned, he would have to have died first. For some reason, I don't think that happened.

    Employ a Kandra for stalking purposes.

    When you see the name Kesler on an office and literally jump because you thought it said Kelsier.

    Is that supposed to be Marasi on the cover? Did everyone else imagine her as on the cover? Because that is not at all how I imagined her. This could change though.

    Of course Quantum Physics is magic... This, right here, is the borderline between fantasy and fugue science fiction. When you can explain your magic to a level such that disproof requires more knowledge of physics than we currently have, it is no longer fantasy, but science fiction. If your magic breaks down under scrutiny, using tools we currently have ("currently" here means at the time of publishing: Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" definitely classifies as science fiction), then you have written fantasy, not science fiction. The way I see Brandon's books is that they are fantasy, but much closer to science fiction than most other fantasy. My concerns are of when/if Brandon attempts time travel (I sincerely hope he doesn't, because that is extremely difficult to pull off without holes in logic. I will be struck with some serious awe if he does time travel and gets away with it). By "time travel," I mean the ability to actually go back in time, not merely speeding up or slowing down time, which we are already convinced is possible thanks to Einstein.

    An upvote for the use of the term "handwavium." Edit (to avoid double posting): What is the cap for how fast a Feruchemist can tap Steel? I can see the ATP explanation working, but only if that cap isn't too high. Natural processes can only move so fast. If that cap is particularly high, then I am at a loss for a good explanation. Hoidhunter's proposal sounds a little too universal, like it would also work for mental speed. I might just not be understanding, though.

    Hold on. There are sprenspren? What about sprensprenspren? Sprensprensprensprenspren? Could you cut (shatter) a piece of Investiture into infinitely many pieces (think geometric series)? How about sprensprenspren... ? (That was supposed to be an infinite sprensequence. I think I would need to introduce some notation here). EDIT: an explanation concerning the geometric series: imagine a metaspren is half as "big" as the spren it is attracted to. Then the amount of investiture required for there to be an infinite chain of spren is 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... = 2, where the units are 1 = "size" of the original spren.

    I just got the image in my head of an Elantrian unsheathing Nightblood while channeling the Dor. Couldn't they just leave the Dor on a "low burn" and wield Nightblood? That would be Awesome!!!
