There might be an advantage if you plate atium though. I don't have the quote, but I remember Kelsier saying Atium reacts with your digestive acid. If you have the opportunity to retrieve it if you dont burn it, there's a decent cost savings.

Are Allomantic metal stores a surface area or volume phenomena? For example, is the available metal store immediately available the same between a sphere of metal and an equal volume of flakes? If its a function of revealed surface area can you create a Mistborn Jawbreaker with alternating layers of the Allomantic metals, that you could incrementally burn through? You could alternate layers of gold and sectors of the other metals to create a safe multi day store of metals since gold is biologically inactive. In the morning, you just take a trip down memory lane and then you're good to go. If the above theory is true, you could also store flaked metal in a gold pill form and you avoid carrying syllable metal on your person further.

Veil's description clearly reminds me of the White Spy from Spy V Spy. Has this been confirmed as the source for her style? Anyone else see it too? Cant wait for the dynamite antics if she becomes an artifabrian!

I think it could work if you made the point it reverses from in the shoulder (c'mon, it has to be) and make the limbs more rigid to provide lumpiness. The Kandra/mistwraith fabric would have to have striated patterns to simulate muscles and embroidered bones. Don't ask me to make these, as I have not the skill, just ideas.

Probably mass produced, one size fits all. So sized for average person (both build and height). Depends on the particular person's girth and height how it fits

Could someone who had been hit by the incomplete shaod have been given the state of a full Elantrian by forging, even before Elantris was fixed? That would have been an interesting climax to Elantris. "Apply directly to the forehead"

I'll take two... I have crates of clips to pay for them

 

Quote from EagleOfTheForestPath

-The momentum percentage that makes it out of the bubble is

-[p2/p1 = F2/F1 * 1/y = (F1 – k*d/2)/F1 * 1/y = (1 – k*d/2*F1)/y]

p2 is "bubbled" momentum? 

Percentage: if p2/p1 = 10 you do mean that would be 1000%, not 10%, right?

I personally hate working with percentages. If it's 10 times as strong, it's 10, not 900% more. Hope that clarifies. The times used were supposing we had actual numbers to work with, not necessarily given the frame shift, but measurements taken within and without the bubble in a scientific setting.

We really should be treating this as an energy equivalence problem.

Assumptions:

-Conservation of energy exists across the boundary of the Bendalloy bubble.

-The bubble acts as an ideal linear spring with spring constant k

Proof

-The work done by the punch is its force applied through a distance.

-[W=Fd]

-The energy dissipated by the bubble is that of an ideal linear spring

-[E=1/2*k*d^2]

-The energy contained in an uninterrupted punch is

-[E=F1d]

-The energy of an interrupted punch assuming the punch is started at the boundary of the bubble is

-[E=F2d+1/2*k*d^2]

-The total energy of the system is then

-[F1*d = F2*d + 1/2k*d^2]

-Solve for the Force of the interrupted punch

-[F2 = F1 – 1/2*k*d]

-The momentum of the punch would be

-[p=F*t]

-The bubble ratio is rate at which time flows inside of the bubble divided by the rate at which time flows outside the bubble

-[y = t1/t2]

-The momentum percentage that makes it out of the bubble is

-[p2/p1 = F2/F1 * 1/y = (F1 – k*d/2)/F1 * 1/y = (1 – k*d/2*F1)/y]

-If the punch hits the barrier d-d2 of the way into the punch, the momentum ratio is higher, since the barrier will deflect only d2, not the whole of d

-[F1*d = F2*d + k*d2^2/2,]

-[F2 = F1 – k*d2^2/(2*d)]

-[p2/p1 = F2/F1 * 1/y = (F1 – k*d2^2/(2*d))/F1 * 1/y = (1-k*d2^2/(2*d*F1))/y]

I hope this is clear. It is hard to write math with this interface.

It is still early in the series, and I don't think we have much of any idea how the Voidbringers work. The world as it exits now calls them "Voidbringers" and malicious destructive forces, but I don't think we are deep enough to make great judgement. There haven't been any "evil" magics to date, so I believe for right now that the Voidbringers are misunderstood and the victims of history.

I believe there was a WoB that those that practice the magical arts are now more receptive/sensitive to the mists than they had been in the Final Empire days. There was confirmation of a Ruin mist and a Preservation mist, but now I guess it's a Harmony mist.

Google up Laser Tag vests. you put them on over your head, and they buckle on the sides.

I'm personally partial to the Parshendi becoming the Voidbringer line, and not Radiants. We see from the world of Scadrial human subspecies each having access to the different metallic arts. Only after interbreeding did we see the magics cross. I would imagine this is consistent until proven otherwise across the Cosmere, that there may be at least some genetic link to the magics. I think Brandon may have been referencing the Horneater or Herdaz peoples, as they have Listener (non-human) blood. I am wondering now if he intended to reference one of them, as opposed to a true-blooded Listener.

So at the recent Brookline, MA signing, Brandon stated that Non-human Radiants were not out of the question. So Who/What is going to be first?

We know per WoB that the events of Alloy take place after the events of the first 5 WoK books, so... who knows? There might be stories left behind by the worldhoppers about that time.

It's possible it could be the other shardpool. We see a new metal at the close of SOS, so I am taking that as proof that another shard is on Scadrial.

So a few people have asked Brandon what Wax's earring is made of, and he has not given a straight answer to anyone yet (Myself included. I asked him yesterday, as I hadnt seen the question asked since SOS came out. He said he would likely take questions on it during the tour for the next book). The earring is mysteriously not described in detail, even though it has significant screen time. Right now, I am assuming that it is the new Harmony God-Metal. I would think over 300 years, such a new metal would not be available in great quantities, or the location of the source is not otherwise known to people yet (Kandra may be another story), though there may be enough of a reserve for a few Pathian earrings.

So I asked Brandon a few years ago what would happen if Odium were to splinter Harmony, and he said that we would not get Ruin and Preservation back. I feel like in a similar vein, if the splinters of Honor were reunited, we might not get Honor, but something similar but at the same time very different, permanently tweaked from being splintered.

Oooh ooooh ooooh can i join

You need 4 cats in your possesion first

I'm hearing end of the week at the moment. will let you know if things change

I would have tried to take video myself but the camera on my phone always garbles videos

Not sure how much this helps. Asked Brandons Sanderson at Connecticon what would happen if Odium shattered Harmony. Was told that we would not get back ruin & preservation, but instead smaller pieces. I read it more as "One who Breaks" and as more of an entropy force.

Got ahold of the person shooting video. She is editing them before she posts them. should be a few days

I want that Jasnah POV!

The excerpt he read from the sequel to Alloy of Law was hilarious. Hope someone took a video. Wax planning his wedding

To clarify the Nicroburst comment, you mean that If Nick the Nicroburster tries to Nicro Frank the Ferring (or full Feruchemist, just no allomancy), it won't do anything as of now?

It would seem so at present. The question I asked was more specific to twinborn with allomantic and feruchemical aptitudes in the same metal using both halves at the same time, but I would assume this would likely be the case too. 

Also, what's up with that gap? 

Sorry. was trying to space it nice and it didnt work too well

 I remember Szeth wondering where Jasnah was, 

She was hiring an assassin to watch someone.

Marking this for future edit. Brandon Sanderson did a reading from the prologue at connecticon. trying to find a video of the Q&A
