From the preview page of White Sand that was released with last year's State of the Sanderson, we know that the sand masters of Taldain (or at least their initiates) wore a white costume. Not a robe, per se, but still worthy of consideration.

Aon Dii was the wood one, and it had 3 circles blocking out roughly where a large forest was, Aon Eno had the Aredel river drawn into it, Aon Mea had that one valley that was supposed to have a high concentration of minds in it marked with an X.

The Shaod; for all your skin-clearing needs!

Those are in-world names, and need not represent the actual Intent of the Shard in question. The Elements are probably Divine-Breath-ian Splinters that attach themselves to specific ponies. I don't recall seeing beings that are explicitly made of magic, so I suspect that Amity sends them out in Equestria's time of need, to bond to somepony and their friends. This is also the reason I suspect that Amity fought off the Shard that spawned Discord, who I assume to be a Sliver of Deceit. In that vein, alicorns are Slivers of Amity.

Pewter-compounding? No, I don't believe that's been asked (we've seen pewter-burning koloss-bloods, but not pewter compounder koloss-bloods). Although I wonder why such an inclusion would be necessary.

That was the working name for Soulcasting, was it not? Before Brandon came to the realization that "Awakening" was a misnomer, given what was actually happening?

A:TLA is Surgebinding without the Ideals, rather? Because Zuko definitely goes through phases of underpowered firebending when he's lost his drive. Also, MLP:FiM definitely fits. A Shard of Amity, perhaps?

At the very least, after the Catacendre, expies of Watership Down and Blake's 7 were printed. (And we know this because Wayne read them both)

A maintained state of mind. Firebenders need to keep up their drive and ambition, Waterbenders need to remain adaptable, Earthbenders need to remain resolute, and Airbenders need to keep up their ability to care about everything around them. It's like the Radiant Oaths, but not defined by the words.

Re: connection medallions and sarcasm: Allik got some fairly good digs in at Wax, so on some level the sarcasm got across. And the kandra question, I would assume that the kandra in question would require a massive amount of weight-loss before he could pull it off.

The so-called "Goldilocks zone" can comprise a lot of different orbits (I believe that Mars and Venus are technically the right distance away from Sol?) so it's not impossible that Roshar, Braize, and Ashyn would all have life on them (especially where Shards and Investiture are involved) and yet have different orbits. Yes, the overall climate would be vastly different (especially since we don't know their positions relative to Roshar's orbit and sun) but if they're still in the goldilocks zone, they'd still support life. EDIT: Just checked. Venus is just a hair too close to qualify, and Mars only qualifies under less than strictly conservative estimates.

If it was possible, the act of tearing things out of (and jamming things into) a human soul such that they turn into a kandra would necessitate that somewhere along the line you get something that is so close to a mistwraith as to defeat the purpose of "skipping the mistwraith stage" in the first place.

There are three known planets in the solar system we know as Greater Roshar, and they all have Cosmere happenings on them: Roshar of course is where the main thrust of SLA takes place, Braize is Odium's home base (and probably moonlights as Damnation), while Ashyn has a peculiar magic "system" where diseases, as an evolutionary measure, grant their hosts magic powers for reasons. (The example he always uses to describe it is "get a cold and gain the ability to fly like Superman while the cold runs its course") So far as I remember, none of them have the orbital relationship you describe. All the rest appear to have normal, Greater Earth-like solar systems. All of said solar systems, however, are in the same galactic neighborhood as each other, hence why things like a bright patch of red stars are visible from both Scadrial and Roshar, and why people can walk the distances in the Cognitive Realm relatively easily.

Maybe it's perfectly reflective? Preservation's shardpool was pure white, Ruin's was pure black, merging the two would make it pure grey, and metal mirrors are silver?

Or rather, the troubles one might have in balancing the Intents of Devotion and Dominion would be vastly easier than Harmony has it.

Preservation can mess with small things if necessary; e.g. he swapped out cadmium and bendalloy for atium and malatium. But you're right, he can't affect things like "you must ingest metals in order to burn them for the effect."

He's talking about the population of Allomancers, and his ploy with the so-called mistfallen; exactly 16% of every studied population. (1% for each allomantic metal) Ruin couldn't change the number of allomantic metals because allomancy isn't exactly his department.

The water tower collapse wasn't Wayne's idea, per se. He just wanted the wedding broken up before Wax could say "I do." He assumed that the hooligans he'd hired would flood the church basement or something.

Allomancy works even if the user is destroying everything in sight - see also Vin's rampage with Zane in WoA. A martial arts powered magic system works perfectly for Discipline, especially if the Shard in question has been Splintered. (And the major four element benders require a maintained state of mind to work optimally, which I feel only underscores my point.) Naruto-verse, on the other hand, is a splintered Shard of Tenacity or similar.

What sort of Shard would that make sense for, though? Endowment? A hypothetical Shard of Legacy? Discipline?

Using my tactics from the last list (BTW I heavily endorse this practice). As before, only the questions I've responded to remain. The Bands Of Mourning

All (well, most) of the symbols are known Scadrian symbols. Part 2's symbol is the Kredik Shaw logo, as seen on the map of Luthadel in TFE. Part 5's is Aon Ire, written with the curves, spikes, and dots of the Steel Alphabet, and is the exception. Part 6 is Harmonium.

Coppermind seems to suggest that the mistwraith was the starting point, but I seem to recall that the Lord Ruler used Hemalurgy to turn the human Worldbringers into the kandra, after he returned to human form.

Nightblood took, what was it, 10000 Breaths to make? With a two-word Command? Somehow I doubt that the expenditure would be worth it. However, the possibility is just plausible enough for Khriss to put out that advert and see if they can test the talking metal for themselves.

... You get an upvote for this alone.
