Isn't it just awesome that I won that last game? (Hint: look at my name)

Rending is a glyph in the Rithmatist. Rending is a thing in Steelheart. (It's what a new epic's transformation is called). Shash is a slave brand meaning dangerous in Stormlight. Shash is a letter in Warbreaker. Post more overused words below!

Hi. Have a non-hemalurgic cookie, a stick, and a random theory.

There are 16 shards and allomantic metals, but that's also the amount of letters in Brandon's name. Is this the origin of 16?

I hope Brandon did a lot of the rules on this game. What I want to know is can you use allomancy in this game somehow? If they did, that would be awesome, but I think that would make the game pretty complicated.

I love board games, especially Cosmere ones.

So, I was wondering what storing Investiture meant. I came up with the idea that maybe storing Investiture let you worldhop if you stored enough of it. Hoid is supposed to have feruchemical abilities, after all. Does this theory work at all?

I want to read Aether and I sent a letter a month ago (via signing up for newsletter) but he hasn't answered yet. Help, please?

My Yahoo said that Fbstj or whatever wasn't a valid email account? Help, please?

In Calamity chapter 2, it is stated that Tia is "not there". Did she join forces with Prof?

So, I was wondering how Lightweaving could exist on both Sel and Roshar. I mean, Brandon's never put a magic system on two shardworlds before! Answer: Hemalurgy. Hemalurgy takes Investitures from something and bestows it on something else. In the process, the Investiture becomes a bit weaker. This developes my theory that lightweaving is originally from Sel, but eventually came to Roshar via a Worldhopper Hemalurgist. For example, if Hoid or Nazh went to Sel and took a Lightweaver's power, then gave it to a person on Roshar, they would gain Lightweaving. However, it would be weaker, which explains why Roshar's version of Lightweaving is harder to do. If Lightweaving can be hereditary, or if Shallan has a bit of metal in her somewhere, this all makes sense.

In Way of Kings, Wit/Hoid tells Kaladin that he was once named after a "Rock". Is the "Rock" the bead of Lerasium he took from the well of ascension? Is the Rock some other metal, or an oathstone? Is the Rock a stick? Wit also tells Kaladin that he began life as "Words on a page". Is he referencing Brandon writing him, or is he talking about something within the Cosmere?

I have both reckoners, the hero of ages, and rithmatist signed.

The Cosmere is filled with characters who are too eager to change. Too eager to become something they're not. Oh, they might hold out for a page or two, but a few convincing words from Shallan and they'll become something they never wanted to be. And for what? To "serve"? Do any of these things ask themselves what they're serving, and is it worth it? No. None but Stick. Some might see Stick's refusal to change as an act of defiance. The last terrible thing to happen to Shallan on a very terrible day. To that, I say Bah! And also You're wrong. Because what Stick did? He wasn't defiant. He wasn't mean. He simply told the truth: I am a stick. Again and again, Stick repeated the truth. I am a stick. I am a stick. I am a stick. Within those words, we see a spirit that refuses to bend. A soul that knows who and what it is. A being that doesn't need to defy anyone, but must simply say, again and again, what it is. To tell others that it is content as it is, and no amount of desperate persuasion will convince it to change. A soul that is content simply to be. Thank you, Stick. You're an inspiration to us all.

Post what character you are most like below! If you can't think of any, you are free to write Stick.

This site is great for all of those reasons, but also because 1. it's about Brandon Sanderson books 2. You can offer cookies to people. 3. You can offer new ideas and people won't say "that's stupider than thinking Reckoners is Cosmere." _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Post your ideas below!
