What stop them from removing the Alluminium from their skin ? Because it's just an original way to the theme "stop him and make him suffer continous damage"
-
It will be not able by default. He would need to play with his Identity and/or Connection to be able to tap them. But once he did it, I see no issue with him tapping from the mist.....We don't know how this would change his Surgebinding as the Mist have not the same propriety of Stormlight
-
You could be right, but just because Mraize has a great knowledge of the other planets, it doesn't mean he has a complete understanding of Roshar. He like others know not know many ancient facts about his home planet and his magic. Also people who are doveted to study Cosmere's magic fail to understand all of them also with all the documentations at their disposal. PS: about his Collection, both the sand and the branch could be from a time where those places are easy to reach

The terms are tricky here, in our world the sexuality is categorizated like: Sex= biological sex ( male, female) Gender= the sex you feel your (in this category will fall asexual if you don't feel male or female) (gender and sex used to have the same meaning until those last years where thanks to recent change of view. The world started to understood that this topic are more complex than a binary possibility) Sexul Orientation= What sex you are attracted from (here gay, lesbian, straight,...) The last one is hardlly part of this discussion and as most of the Forms carry with them the impossibility to reproduce. The Listener changing Form could change their sex as there is an explicit biological change.
-
Except that it can't be the same as the Stormfather is the merging of the ancient spren Rider of the Storm (mostly an Adonalsium's Spren) and Tanavast's Shadow (former Honor's Vessel) while Cultivation's Vessel is still alive. It's likely that Honor corrupted the Rider of The Storm and Cultivation corrupted the Nightwatcher to make them compatible with their magic....But the Nightwatcher and Stormfather could not be the same as the Stormfather inherit from Tanavast features the Nightwatcher can't have. So the two could be on the same concept but vastly different in the end
-
Yeah it was my point. I could be wrong but I think it's the most likely explaination with the informations we have. EDIT: I checked on Coppermind and It seems my point is valid as there are WoB on Listener gaining/losing gender as they change Forms. Unluckly I could not see those Wob directly as Reddit is blocked in my Work's network
-
This is similar to one theory I proposed: Nightblood is an artificial Endowment's Splinter crafted to fuitfull his command. But his Command is something aganist Endowment's mandate/Intent. So I thought that Nightblood itself generated a twisting in Investiture as He is a living contradiction.
-
The Forms are specialization. The Listener could reproduce both in Slaveform and Mateform but the Mateform is greatly better (notice this is need or the Parshmen were gone long time ago). I think the Male-Female are only for Mateform, SlaveForm and maybe something more Form, while when they change to others Forms, they will become Malen-Femalen
-
You could be right, but I don't see a link between this and the Radiants' Oaths as the Listeners never becomed Radiants in the past.
-
The Parshendi Leader are five only because they remembered only five Forms. As they will discover more Forms, more leaders will join the rank. They were less in the previous centuries (I don't remember what is the last form to be discovered)
-
Maybe I miss some istance but Kal and Shallan's visions are present-vision (Kal through the Stormfather's eye and Shallan see Shallash at work) both of them are not too strange it's within the scope of what Syl tells us...Knowledge spread by Connections from soul to soul. That will be not too Investiture intensive...See the future is really Investiture intensive this is the reason I doubt they could see see the Spiritual Realm to the degree of seeing the future without Kinetic Investiture
-
I still think that "saw the future" is something too big and powerful (Realmatic speaking) to be a Resonance (and therefore something usabile without Stormlight ad fuel). This made me continue to believe there is some kind of trick with Truthwatchers' visions...I proposed the Truthwatchers doesn't actually make the visions but rather they could intercept others' Spiritual Stream of Informations and they got the informations too...if this is true (and for now is only a speculation) Renarin recived his visions from external Seers like Dalinar, Death Rattles and maybe Cultivation. This kind of thing seems fit quite well with the theme the Truthwatchers exibited... The Secrets. About Dalinar and the Shallan's trick, It's Almost surelly his Resonance rather than a Surge as no Stormlight was involved from his part
-
I think Tezim is a simple Radiants. Strictly speaking a Radiant is bond to a piece of the Almight so the description Will fit. I don't take the "Sliver" as a the Realmatic term but rather a local use of the word.
-
I see that as Bondsmith's resonance not One of their Surges (as Stormlight wasn't used and the effect doesn't match with what we already know of that Surges). Much more I don't see that Resonance as an empowered Radiants' Surges as really Shallan did something within the scopes of the Surgebinding. Neither I believe a Bondsmith could actually use others Surges and instead he Simply simulate the others in using...so in the end It would do mostly nothing that It could not be performed without It. Probably the whole process works with a temp Bond Forged by the Need. And in some cases this bond is enough to actual forces people (I suspect the Radiants as their Spren works like backdoor...nothing too different from Odium with the Forms of Power)
-
Actually what you said is mostly correction but we don't know if Shallan-Pattern losed the ability to form a Shardblade in the meanwhile. The First time Shallan actually summons Patternblade in the current times is after re-spoking 2 truths (equivalent to 3 Oaths)...before She always stopped before summons the Blade so se don't know if She would be actually capable of doing or if She believe to be able alone.
-
For us yes, but in-world I don't think it's a common knowledge
-
Because it's the first in world proof of the Roshar's life chronology and it also points to spren never saw/attracted by Humans
-
Those are really weak counterarguments. Anyway we know by WoB that Vasher didn't need to actual see a Shardblade to make NB just stories about could be enough. Also in the WarBreaker's annotations it's stated that if the War wasn't stopped the Naghtbloods' mass production will actually happen.
-
She could not access the metalmind because her Identity and the Metalmind's Identity didn't match...It's a matter of Investiture Interference
-
I think the same ;-) As far as I remember the TLR's Spikes was a misunderstood WoB. Brandon meant the Metalminds pierced the TLR but that was not Hemalurgic Spikes The Bands' Allomancy&Feruchemy will be refilled with Nicrosil Compound while the rest of the Attributes with the appropriate Metal Compound What Vin's line do you refer here ?
-
There is no point in made Nightblood-like weapon if you have already hundred of Shardblades and much more we don't even know if it's possible to take a Shardblade out of Roshar's System as the Spren are bound to homeland from the Investiture they are composed. The point as "Nightblood as an Awakened Shardblade" arose periodically and there are already tons of topic about the pros and contros of that theory (for example here )
-
I miss the whole link between Dakhor and Roshar
-
I don't know if the OB's stuff has some counterproof. But I think the Unmade is not sending prophecy but instead the Death Rattles are side effects of his effort to say the future. He feed of Soul's Investiture to see in the Spiritual...The Dying guy see the future too as a side effect through the Unmade's bond
-
I believed (without an actual proof) that was a surgebinding thing. The Surgebinding affects the eyes more than the rest and when you place a Surgebinding-Shardblade (both Sprenblade and Honorblade) you overcharge this effect. So the whole body could be affected, but when you hit a critical place and the effect spreads in full body...The effect is greatly stronger in the eyes and they are also physical destroyed. PS: Of course there is the plot reason, give a signature to the Shardblade's victim (or it could be confused with poison and other bloodless deaths)
-
Urithiu is above the Highstorm's level so that pane of glass could not interact with the coming Highstorm and therefore could not be infused by the storm itself.
