Paranoid King

And Stick was a truthwood who used the surge of inspiration to declare his intentions of being a stick!

Marsh would win without Dalinar. With him, he's even more awesome. Sazed is a cool guy, but he's not trained as a warrior. And the investiture in Dalinar's shardplate would negate anything Raodin could throw at him. Dalinar and Marsh would win hands-down.

The first comment literally says:

What are you talking about? It was never officially declared an april fool's joke. Check the page if you don't believe me: (Stormlight book 8)

Instead of dropping coins to push on, he can create them out of thin air. And then fly away.

Solution: Elhokar time travelled in book 8

The connection is fairly easy to make, once you think about it. Here are my reasons: #1: They are both paranoid. #2: They are both poor rulers. #3: Both books are in the cosmere. #4: You have yet to see both of them at the same time. Once you have the facts, the conclusion is easy to deduce: Elhokar, tired of people silently criticizing his rule, seeks out the Wit, who constantly slips away to some place where nobody can find him. He asks the Wit to take him to this place, and Hoid drops him off in the Elantris system. Confused, Elhokar does his best to fit in, renaming himself Iadon and becoming a merchant. When the Reod comes, he eagerly steps up to rule, convinced he'll do a better job this time than last time.

Going into the Video game realm, Sonic is a steel compounder. Although you'd think that he'd use the allomantic ability sometimes, too. Especially considering that he mostly fights robots.

Wolverine's obviously a gold compounder. The reason he's always so grumpy is because he has to constantly confront what he could have been.

A shardblade is composed of a Spren - the physical manifestation of the cognitive ideas. So a shardblade is just using the power of the mind/ideas to cut things. To destroy a shardblade, you would need something that could literally destroy ideas. A lightsaber is a beam of energy, which is physical only. Therefore, a lightsaber could not damage a shardblade.

So, as a preacher, what would Obliteration's weakness be? Having people ignore him? Atheists?

Sanderson's books are so long, that once you finish reading one, you can immediately start again from the beginning.

What? Of course I'm not! The assassins are real! Also, on a side tangent, Elantris is a scourge upon the land. Someone really needs to issue the extermination order.

As revealed in book 4 of Alcatraz, breaking is the center of the smedry talents. Space is broken to get lost, time is broken to arrive late, and words are broken to spout gibberish. Similatic technology is based on sand and its unique properties. Often, that sand is smelted to create glass, which focuses the abilities of the sand. But what is sand? Broken Seashells. To recieve the smedry talents in the first place, the breaking talent needed to be introduced. But through somehow reforging or refining those talents, the power would be focused, with the breaking aspect removed. When the Incarna designed the talents, the breaking power did not get "mixed up" in the talents - it was a fundamental part of how those talents worked. They just didn't finish the refining process to remove the randomness.

Haha. I'll give you a upvote for your current title of misting

It would make sense, but in the Alcatraz books, the opposite of your expectations is what happens. In making sense, it makes sense for it to not make sense.

In book 4, educator's lenses are mentioned, which slow down time.

In book 1 of Alcatraz, in the very first chapter, there is a scene where he is tied up to an altar. But he isn't sacrificed in that book, because he says that scene will come in a future book. As subsequent books have been produced, he continues to claim that the altar scene will be forthcoming soon, and in book 4, he says that he always planned to have it in book 5. However, throughout the books, he has claimed numerous times that he is a liar. He has tried to prove it in numerous ways, and in book 2, he had the analogy of the fish and the shoes, where you are so focused on him saying he is a fish that you forget that he actually has white shoes. My theory is that he will bring these two things together, and the altar scene will never happen. It's the ultimate way of proving that he is a liar. Because you are so focused on the storyline throughout the series, you almost forget that he is a liar, but neglecting the altar scene would make you remember that fact for a long, long time.

If you could make a gun somehow cooled very efficiently, you could shoot hollowed bullets stuffed with FOOF. Very dangerous. I'm not sure even a gold compounder could stand against that for long.

I'm too lazy to look up where Brandon said it, but when someone asked what would happen if Hoid's head was cut off, Brandon answered that the healing that Hoid does would allow him to regrow his head.

In Dalinar's visions, the parshendi aren't the thing he's fighting against. Usually it is some dark thing unknown to the world he lives in. In fact, in one of his visions, a spren animates the stone to fight against him. That doesn't happen anymore, and I think it might be because the knights abandoned their oaths.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that you needed epic cells to replicate their power, and steel doesn't have cells. Unless the transferrence to steel wasn't permanent...

I was rereading WoR and thinking about why (and how) the knights radient betrayed their spren. The best idea I had about it was that they did something to make all spren leave their hosts. This would definitely count as a betrayal by a spren. And the reason that they would do this is to stop the Parshendi once and for all. They are tired of fighting the Parshendi again and again, and by giving up all their spren, the parshendi are trapped in Dullform. By losing their powers and responsibilities, they rid humanity of its largest threat and get cool servants! Everyone wins! (Except the spren.) Thoughts? Ideas? Feedback?
