    So you are saying that Physical Adhesion is just the visible result of Spiritual Adhesion? If so, that makes sense Realmatically. Are you suggesting that Bondsmiths are more Invested, per Oath level, than Windrunners? That I'm not so sure of. I wonder if the Bondsmith's ability to manipulate Spiritual Connection on a deeper level is due to the resonance between Adhesion and Tension. The need to work on very fine scales to manipulate axi with Tension might allow the intricate and subtle work with Adhesion as well.

    Allomantic cadmium (I think, the one that makes time in the bubble move faster)-increased factory output, rapid travel

    I also think that in Mistborn the structure of the story led to a "we can die at any time" vibe. In contrast, the more traditional fantasy structure of Stormlight makes it less likely that characters will die early in the story, but conversely increases the danger as the story progresses. Mistborn kind of warned you not to get attached right from the start.

    It is not for sure, but when you have a World hopping group who have technology that appears identical to technology from a world that they did not originate from, and no other world seems to have this technology or a magic system that is likely to produce such, it is most likely that they got the technology from that world. In addition, Brandon has described fabrials as a Rosharan magic system.

    Apparently the Ire have visited Roshar or have dealt with those who have, because they seem to have an Alerter fabrial to look for Threnodite Shades. It does not, however, notice Kelsier. Is it specific to Threnodite investiture? Assuming spren cannot leave Roshar, were they able to power it with the Dor? Did they trap a seon? So many questions!

    These are pre-RoW theories. We know from Kaladin that the Sibling literally is Urithiru. Also, it was stated in an earlier book that Urithiru won be built in the place "closest to Honor" by ancient KRs. Therefore it can't be a spaceship to bring humans to Roshar.

    Also doesn't fit with what we know of Unmaking from RoW, where a Spren could be filled with Odium's Investiture to Unmake them. Also, from what I understand, the Heralds were alive when they created the Oathpact. It seems from what we know it is only possible to Unmake a spren. While the Heralds could be considered spren, it also seems as though the Oathpact protects them since none were unmade in years of torture.

    Odium + Ambition = Vengeance Vengeance + Devotion = Obsession Obsession + Dominion = Tyranny

    Cognitive Shadows seem to last quite a long time irregardless of how Invested they were upon death.

    This raises a few questions: 1. How do they know what Mishram can do if she has been imprisoned since before the Catacendre? 2. Are they pursuing 2 separate goals (one of transporting Investiture off-world and one of getting Kelsier off-world) or are these aspects of the same goal? 3. Would you be able to fill an unkeyed medallion with Stormlight? 4. If not, how would Mraize fill one, as he does not seem to be Scadrian?

    Also, would the Iridescent Tones be the pulses of Endowment then?

    Can you cite a source for this? In RoW it seems pretty clear that the Sibling only needed Honor and Cultivation's tones. In fact, Towerlight is explicitly described as such, "the light of science" as Navani described it.

    I find the 1 in 1000 comment very misleading. Khriss would only know someone is a Misting if they use their powers where they are seen doing so or let people know they are a misting. For example, Rioters, Smothers, Aluminum gnats, duraluminum, and atium mistings at the least could maintain anonymity either due to a lack of available metal or visible use of powers. 1 in 1000 seems about right for each type of misting, perhaps.

    Added Spoiler tag in original post. Didn't realize I was breaking the rules.

    So we know a few things about the duel: 1. There is a way for Todium to not be bound. 2. Dalinar is a Bondsmith unchained. Here is my theory: Dalinar will engage in the duel in good faith. At some point, Taravangian will try to create a scenario where Dalinar cannot continue without violating his honor through some stratagem. He will not, however, know that Dalinar has been trained by Ishar. In training him how to reset the Oathpact, Ishar inadvertently shows him how to increase his Connection to a Shard to the point of Ascension. Dalinar is in a unique situation where he is highly Connected to both Honor and Odium. Dalinar attempts to use Ishar's technique and ascends to BOTH Honor and Odium. This will form a new Shard, War.

    Remember, the Masked Ones are Fused. Smokeform is a Regal form. I don't think you can really match Regal to Surge the way you can Fused.

    What is interesting is that the type of investiture doesn't matter when Investiture is being consumed, but does when it is being used to do something. I think this might be related to energy transfer and reaction kinetics. The consumption of Investiture releases energy, so it happens spontaneously when the chance occurs. Using Investiture to do work requires an input of energy (hence the Frost from use of Stormlight), so it requires particular "enzymes" for the reaction to proceed. Each type of Investiture relies on its own enzyme, which has a specific "shape" that is necessary to use that Investiture. Initiation into a Magic system is basically the creation of that "enzyme" in the Spiritweb. What Vasher is trying to do is to figure out how to make Stormlight fit into the enzyme for Breaths.

    Very interesting. I never fully understood that vision, and Brandon including it to sneak a Chemoarsh foreshadowing in is genius.

    Agreed, Shards have Tones. The Rhythms, however, are a Cosmere wide phenomena that manifests on Roshar as Rhythms. Admittedly this renders my idea of other planets' rhythms less likely.
  23. Brgst13
    I can see this interpretation, but I interpreted this as El losing access to the rhythms upon becoming He Who Quiets. We only have Lerian's word that El was forbidden the rhythms. My thought was that he was given abilities from Odium that allowed the inclusion of aluminum and he lost the rhythm as a result. Also, it is unlikely Odium would be able to grant Raboniel "personal" rhythms as the rhythms are intrinsic to Roshar. I suppose that it is possible that Odium has restricted access to some Rhythms from all Regals and Fused, but I do not see a reason for that. The other possibility is that Odium allowed her to hear Rhythms from another planet but again, why?

    You have a point there, I had forgotten the Thaylen City battle.
