    Sadly not; that spren speaks in a female voice, which is much different from Wyndle's voice. However, that is clearly the same sort of spren as Wyndle. Stump's, on the other hand, looks like "light reflected on a wall."

    In anyone practicing Allomancy, Feruchemy, or Hemalurgy, of course.

    That exact question has been asked in-universe, in the Stormlight Archive. However, the asker (Hoid) knows perfectly well that the askee (Dalinar) has no idea what he's talking about. (I believe it's in WoR, "Gibletish," although I couldn't tell you the exact page number) If it is possible (which I find a dubious claim) the end product will simply be a larger version of one of the Shards, i.e. it will be a mass of power with 16 perfectly balanced Intents, piloted by a sophont intelligence. As we don't know what, exactly, Adonalsium was before the Shattering, it is impossible to tell whether or not this would be an improvement.

    As far as I know, he has referred to Bavadin as male precisely once, when saying that "He is the only Shard in the [Taldain] system."
  5. Landis963
    Either Bavadin was changed to be female retroactively (because Dragonsteel hasn't been published yet and is therefore somewhat in flux - see also Trackt Ais' gender change between prose and comic White Sand) or the Shard of Autonomy was taken by another Vessel. Either way, the current Vessel is female.

    He clearly has a level of fine control of his hordelings that baseline humans do not. Admittedly, he's no Taylor Hebert (protagonist of Worm), who has been known to control bugs several city blocks away from her body, but the level of perception this grants him cannot be underestimated.
  7. Landis963
    I know if I could control a horde of bugs like Arclo could, I'd use them to spy.

    Upwards of 5: AonDor, Dakhor, ChayShan, Forgery, Bloodsealing, and the potions Hrathen used are all methods of Dor-coding. Which means that any nation that fits whatever criteria leads the Dor to work there will get its own method. (I suspect that the criteria was "had a strong enough Identity at the time of the Splintering" but I'm having difficulty thinking of a question that would confirm or debunk the theory)

    I thought it was tied to the reason why he was mastering in the first place: namely, to show up/impress his father. Once his father died, Kenton's reason for mastering died with him. And he got it back with a vengeance when he found a reason for mastering that didn't involve anyone else's opinion.

    Remember the scene in Half-Blood Prince when Harry drank Felix Felicis? I suspect that compounding Chromium would produce a similar effect. (Daniel Radcliffe's slightly stoned performance notwithstanding)
  11. Landis963
    Yeah, this.

    I'm thinking more illusory costumes for quick scares, "Kick Me" in neon letters on the back of a designated victim, that sort of thing.

    Sand mastered ribbons are very limited. I guess you could use them to trip people, but otherwise it's just sand in the underpants-style tricks. Dakhor doesn't have too many non-lethal powers associated with it. Parshendi forms and Threnody shades don't lend themselves well to pranks (and the shades, much like Dakhor, are much too lethal). You can do a lot with Aon Shao, and Aon Edo, though.

    I'm not doubting that Lirin could do something like that, especially with all the circumstances surrounding it. I'm doubting that Honor could do something like that. Look at the severe difficulties Leras had with stabbing someone, even if not performing that action might have undone everything Leras sacrificed to make happen. EDIT: To completely answer the question, no, I don't think Lirin's actions were completely dishonorable, especially if Wistiow would have given him the money anyway, but that's beside the point.
  15. Landis963
    Assuming that "Intent creep" affected all the Shardvessels the way it did Leras, I don't believe Honor would have been capable of it. (mitigating circumstances e.g. Preservation splitting off half his mind to make a prison for Ruin notwithstanding). Which means Cultivation is the only remaining suspect. (As I'm assuming that Odium can't backstab himself that way)

    Obviously, the other planets (and the asteroid belt for that matter) have presences in the Cognitive Realm, it's just that none of them have perpendicularities. EDIT: It's just the expeditions to First of the Sun's Physical Realm that haven't returned (and no wonder, given where the perpendicularity is). Doubtless the mapping expeditions were started as soon as the Drominad system was discovered.
  17. Landis963
    Because that's what the people on First of the Sun call their moon. I'm not reading too much into that.

    Tor.com has, as part of the marketing for Arcanum Unbounded, released the essay (either in whole or in part is not clear) for the "Drominad System" (Otherwise known as the system where Sixth of the Dusk takes place). However, when discussing Drominad's record 3 human societies, Khriss drops this bombshell: "only the Rosharan system can rival it, and there one of the planets is inhabited solely by Splinters." Roshar obviously has humans on it, so that's out. If "The Silence Divine" remains canon in some form, then humans are present as well, so that's out. So therefore, the only remaining relevant planet in the Rosharan System is Braize. Discuss.

    "Another world", Elsric? When did you find the time to watch the death of the first one?
  20. Landis963
    Give it time.
  21. Landis963
    It's probably what the Worldhoppers call First of the Sun.

    Kelsier is also a steel savant, though. A newly Snapped Coinshot would have a bit more difficulty.
  23. Landis963
    My personal headcanon is that the symbols are "M", "A", and "R", respectively. However, that doesn't make internal sense for a host of reasons, the first of which is that Scadrians don't know English.
  24. Landis963
    Until I see a trailer, I will be cautiously optimistic. I don't feel it useful to speculate further at this time.
  25. Landis963
    Didn't Vin canonically beat Marsh? Just saying.
