    It might be fun as Wayne's version of Ironeyes, though. EDIT: Even funnier, bring back Marsh's actor for that scene, with the Bale Batman voice coming out of his mouth when he says his lines. And switch back to Wayne's actor once the perspective changes back to Marasi.

    My first thought is expending blood to produce a reconstruction of a crime, from a crime scene. (e.g. you come upon a mugging and can expend blood to have ghosts reenact the crime as it happened) Then the rest of the plot involves tracking down the elements suggested by the recreation, e.g. the reconstruction has one party dodge over to a trash can or something, where the detective finds a murder weapon. To preserve the tension of figuring out the mystery, the simulacra caused by the spell need not have faces.

    re: half a Sleepless attempting to worldhop: You might not suffocate on the beads when you're the size of a tarantula, but you can still sink in them.

    Not to mention, of course, how viewpoints under the different Heightenings would mess with the saturation.

    Well, Shalash has the earrings, and the gold trim on Ishar's robe evokes heliodor. I was also surprised at the amount of blue on Ishar's image, though.

    What moon? Scadrial doesn't have one.

    Non-Invested technological progress will probably fall by the wayside on many Shardworlds, true. However, that does not mean that scientific progress will stagnate overall. Outside of edge cases like Threnody (where the environment actively punishes mechanical development and provides no alternative) or, say, the Final Empire (Where certain technologies were suppressed as potential threats to TLR's rule), it will simply develop along Invested lines instead.

    But "Th" is a known component of the Alethi syllabary that I don't see on Harakeke's new chart, which is where my confusion sprang from.
  9. Landis963
    Where's "Th" on the consonants listing? As in "Ruthar" or "Thalath"?

    Last I checked, a novella was a type of book. EDIT: Also, Kelsier didn't exactly save the world in TFE.
  11. Landis963
    Or the crossed swords.
  12. Landis963
    That link (the Kelsier/Moiraine fight) becomes hilarious with knowledge of SH.

    Aons in their current form did not exist pre-splintering.

    Soulstamps contain a crude image of MaiPon as their setting mark, not the Rose Empire.

    Barring shenanigans with Compounding or jailbroken metalminds, he wouldn't be able to attain a greater level of health than he already has (because he'd need to put health in to get health out). Stormlight healing has no such constraint.
  16. Landis963
    Why would you even joke about that?

    If Nomon (or any of Roshar's moons, for that matter) were in a geosynchronous orbit with Roshar, that would mean it would never deviate from its position (i.e. it would never rise, nor set, nor do anything but hang there). Arcanum Unbounded has a pretty good diagram of all three moons' orbits, and they happen to be overlapping ellipses.

    I thought Opelon was the Aonic name for Sycla.

    I've always pronounced it like "bye", but sharper. (I presumed that if it was supposed to be the other way, her name would have been spelled "Shei".
  20. Landis963
    Apropos of nothing, you may need to check your autocorrect.
  21. Landis963
    Possibly. I might be misremembering. However, I also seem to recall that atium beads were found in geodes (which were found in jagged cracks, hence the scars of Kelsier et al.), which would look more like especially round stones than like a surprisingly fragile piece of rose quartz (as Mraize's crystal is described).
  22. Landis963
    Atium beads are spherical, true, but they are very obviously metals. Compare with Mraize's mysterious crystal, which is pink, obviously crystalline, and delicate, cracked "as though the act of setting it down had somehow crushed it" or a phrase to that effect.

    Feruchemical zinc would give you the optimal moment to drop the bubble and start firing. Of course, Feruchemical steel would be better at timing, but you can't have only two feruchemical abilities outside of hemalurgy.
  24. Landis963
    Elantris and its suburbs might become the safest place in Arelon, though. And with Raoden in charge, that rapid-response infrastructure might arise very quickly.
  25. Landis963
    It is, however, a solvable mystery, given what we know of Realmatics and of Taldain. (Arcanum Unbounded has the major clue in this regard, but applying rules learned in other works will help)
