    Maybe copper compounding blocks memory formation in others at the expense of your stored memories.

    I have to disagree. The Command is given to the object receiving the Breath not the Breath itself.

    Division will almost certainly burn organics. In our world, breaking atomic bonds requires an input of energy (activation energy) followed by a release of some amount of energy. If Division is using Investiture to replace the activation energy, now all the energy can be released into the system. This energy is given off as heat. This is why we sweat and how mammals can be warm-blooded. If all these bonds were released at once a tremendous amount of heat would be produced. This would flash-boil water out of the body and allow the remaining dried tissue to ignite quickly.

    Also we assume that these are actually moons. It could be that they are clumps of Investiture grown to Moon size. Perhaps the Shard for this system used these to manufacture the stream of Aether spores.

    I have come to a theory that the Recreance was a result of a combination of BAMs imprisonment, the knowledge of the fate of Ashyn, and the death of Honor. Honor's death released the bounds on Radiant powers and this scared the spren and Radiants. The capture of BAM may have been accomplished by Bondsmith powers not otherwise available. The Stoneward power is also noted as being bound to "prevent disaster like what happened on Yolen". With Honor's death these bonds were lost, as we can see from Ishar being a "Bondsmith unchained". Honors death also caused the Sibling to stop producing Towerlight. The fact is that Honor's death was the precipitating event that led to the Sibling losing function, the Recreance, and the binding of BAM.

    Was Ishar touching Dalinar when he tried to take his Connection to the Stormfather? I don't think that an unchained Bondsmith of the 5th oath would need to touch someone to manipulate that Connection.
  7. Brgst13
    I think a high level Bondsmith stands a good chance. They could alter Connection to keep a Full-on from using their metalminds and then their Plate is a huge advantage.

    What about Knowledge of Worlds Travelled? Could be a Shin history of their arrival on Roshar.

    Sigzils bond is...interesting. Aux views him as the squire and blames Sig for his death. Sig clearly views him as a spren which seems to rule out the Cognitive Shadow idea. We see spiritual Adhesion and what appears to be a form of Transportation. We know his oaths ended. Not that they were broken but ended. So what is going on here? My theory rests on several pieces of evidence: 1. Transportation and Adhesion are not shared by any known order. 2. Aux seems to be more in charge than any spren we have seen to date. 3. Sigzil took up a Dawnshard 4. Dawnshards can bind any creature voidish or mortal. What being do we know that tends to be in charge and grants all 10 Surges? Has Sigzil bonded Yelig-nar?
  10. Brgst13
    I see where I am wrong and Aux is a spren. The part that interests me is that he is dead...but not a Deadeye. Did Sigzil break his Oath? Or did the bond break with the Dawnshard? The other odd thing is Sigzil remembers being a Windrunner...but Aux is manipulating Connection in ways we have only seen with a Bondsmith.
  11. Brgst13
    I had a very different take. I read Aux as a Cognitive Shadow that Sigzil had bonded. This is partially based on my theory that Kaladin has taken up Honor and changed how Oaths work. It seems odd to me that Sigzil would call himself the squire for his spren. It is even odder that the spren would call himself a knife. Is it not possible that humans have learned to do as spren do and form Nahel bonds as a Cognitive Shadow?

    Ishar was attempting to bring sprens bodies into the Physical Realm. The OP interpretation was how I read the scene as well.

    I am well aware of the multiple wavelengths of reflected light. I dropped an s in my initial reply which may have led to some confusion. I was picturing something like an LED array where different diodes emit different colors but when they illuminate an object the light appears to be one coherent color. My vision was that perfect color recognition is like looking into the LED and seeing all the individual diodes lit up. Obviously reflected light would have many more "diodes". As for harmonics, I think we are all overlooking the fact that there is an Investiture component as well. Electrons can have a wavelength but so could the theoretical Investiture particle. It is quite possible that this particle may be tied to color in some way but may have a much broader spectrum in visible light. This would allow a harmonic to be perceived by a highly invested being but not violate basic color physics.
  14. Brgst13
    Perhaps perfect color recognition means the ability to discern the exact wavelength of the reflected light. This is similar to perfect pitch identifying notes in a chord.
  15. Brgst13
    On a related note, if we divide the 10 octave hearing range up and assume equal distribution of pure tones, each Shard's tone will be 8 semitones from the one beneath it, which corresponds to a minor sixth. Even more interesting, a minor sixth interval has a wavelength ratio of 1.6:1.

    Lirin has to be OL. Stone stubborn and won't budge plus focused on protecting people. I would swap out Shallan for Jasnah at SS. Jasnah would be like Ryan Clark and be the on-field play caller as well as being tough as nails. Also she could Soulcast your cleats into smoke if she got beat deep. I would switch the defense to a 4-3 and have Gavilar and Dalinar as the defensive ends. They would create pure havoc in the backfield. Taln would be one DT and Ash could play the other. Just have a Lightweaver project an image of her on the opposing QB's helmet. I would put young Sadeas in MLB. He would watch the play develop and strike where he could do the most harm. My second choice would the Mink. The OL would never be able to find him to block him. For OL I like Rock at left tackle. Teft is definitely the center and leading the line. Renarin is at right tackle. How do you get past someone who literally sees the moves coming? For the guards I like Lopen and another Windrunner.

    Also it tends to be Soulcast.
  18. Brgst13
    They might need to Soulcast gold in the future. It will become more valuable for its fabrial effects. Would an Allomancer be able to use Soulcast gold? If yes this could set up some interesting team things. If no it could serve as a deception when facing an Allomancer.
  19. Brgst13
    I would say no. Forgery temporarily overwrites the Spiritweb while hemalurgy permanently changes it. Also as far as I know the essence of the thing stolen does not change. I would think of it like this: If I had a temporary tattoo and gave that part of my skin to someone for a graft, that tattoo will still wash off. It doesn't become permanent just because it was given to someone else.
  20. Brgst13
    Also I think a fully powered Bondsmith might be able to do pretty well also. He could probably manipulate the Metalmunds' Connection to the Full-on and then go to work. Dalinar Kholin in living Shardplate vs effectively a Mistborn? I know where my money is. Also, he could use Ishar's glue them to the ground trick. It's hard to move that fast dragging an entire planet with you.

    Will Nalthis develop a market hawking fake Breaths? Does a Scadrian prince need them to send him their Breath to get through customs? Will Walmart carry poor quality Breaths for discounted prices?

    You should read the Stormlight Archive. Dont wanna spoil anything.

    Mapping Scadrial

    Brgst13 replied to Jofwu's topic in Mistborn

    I would also guess that since the map is hand drawn there is some error in it. Also remember that the North Scadrians have neither circumnavigated the globe nor developed flight technology. It is likely that the only truly accurate sources of longitude are Harmony and the Lord Ruler. If these maps are based on old maps from the Lord Ruler, it is possible also that errors may have been deliberately introduced either by the Inquisitors or by Ruin itself in order to keep certain locations secret. Also, keep in mind that measuring in relatively small pixel counts is very prone to error. A 2-pixel difference can create about a 1.4% error in your estimate. This error increases for each pixel error in your measurement. Did you do repeated measurements to control for measurement error? Lastly, you are assuming that these ticks correspond with earth measurements. If Scadrial used 200 degrees as the measure of a circle, how would that change your numbers?

    I saw Aon Eto as similar to allomantic pewter and enhancing physical strength.
  25. Brgst13
    Dalinar and Ishar's Perpendicularity trick is simply Spiritual Adhesion applied across the Three Realms to the Realms themselves. Note that Jasnahs spren refers to it as "three that are one." It's also important to consider that this is the first time the Honorblades have been wielded since Honor's death. Honor had limited the Surges, in order to prevent whatever happened on Yolen. Ishar is wielding a Bondsmith blade with no restraints. It would be interesting to see what Taln could do with Stoneshaping in a world with no bounds on his power.
