I propose that the pony Epic, in order to remain at least somewhat canon, be a shapeshifting a Epic that can only become a pony after the style of MLP. Other powers can of course be added on. I take no responsibility for this Epic.

Is it possible Kaladin's father was a Feruchemist? I seem to recall that he sometimes wore glasses, sometimes didn't. Anyone with a book able to look for these clues?

Breaths can't be stolen... Unless you're holding a drawn Nightblood.

What about the Reod?

Um... Investiture with different Shards interferes with each other. That would make it much harder.

Due to Spook's POV's in HoA, there has been some confusion about what exactly a savant is. It is generally accepted that an Allomantic savant is someone who has burned a metal for a long period of time, warping their soul and giving them increased power from that metal. However, there is some issue about the implied dependence of the savant on their metal. In HoA, Spook says that without tin, he seems blind, deaf. However, he also says something along the lines of "this was how normal people sensed the world." Spook only was dependent on tin because he was used to the sensations, painful though it was. There are likely more savants than Spook in Mistborn. Clubs may have been, Breeze almost certainly was, and Marsh was almost said outright as a savant. Waxillium Ladrian is a steel savant. His 'steel bubble' is something that few Coinshots have been able to do. I believe that there is a WoB confirming as much, but I don't know where it is. A savant does not have dependence on their metal, only increased precision and strength in it.

As long as it's completely voluntary among all parties involved, I see no ethical issues. As opposed to our resident Hemalurgists and their 'cookies'.

Hemalurgy was designed to be possible throughout the Cosmere. It's not unreasonable to believe that it existed pre-Shattering.

I think they started with spikes, then eventually figured out how to make medallions. Or the abilities were hereditary, and we're going to see what's the weird thing that happens with hereditary Hemalurgy.

Unkeyed goldminds: Scadrian hospitals.

This...makes...a lot of sense. Especially how it's able to mimic Allomantic abilities, atium-ish and lerasium-ish

Nightblood is an arrowhead that is supposed to create good.

Sanderson once had a book end with a deux ex machina without making it look like a deux ex machina. We call it Mistborn: the Hero of Ages

I would like to propose a ship: Wayne and Marasi. I don't know about MeLaan.

I, Thoughtward the Awakened blade, request entry into the Theorybreakers. I was Awakened with the command, "challenge theories". Can I join? (Stormgate's note: please don't let him. I have enough trouble with Thoughtward challenging me on my theories, I don't need a spren to do it too. Besides, I hardly ever let him type.)

This site is crazy because Sharders are borderline insane.

Although, we see some evidence of transport. The Ire has a fabrial for detecting Shades, and both them and Hoid have a liquid that apparently helps beings interact with the Cognitive Realm.

That's not to say that we can't see similarities. Sanderson works so much in the Cosmere that it tends to bleed into other books.

Your theory is interesting. How do you figure Investiture plays into it?

Apparently, it's 'painful'. At least Dead Drop's powers are, anyway.

I have a theory about how the Shattering happened. In the play Julius Caesar, the main event is when a group of people who are upset with the power of the one in charge form a conspiracy and stab the guy in charge several times. Perhaps this happened with the Shattering, 16-17 individuals stabbed Adonalsium, transforming the knives they held into the most powerful Hemalurgic spikes ever. I don't believe that Hemalurgy was created by Ruin, only implemented. The power lost in the transfer of power went into Adonalsium, which was then removed by Cephandrius' knife. The amount of Investiture contained in the spikes was so massive as to be reminiscent of an unkeyed metalmind or an overfilled water balloon. The Investiture escaped, and flowed into the Vessels, and they Ascended. Except for Cephandrius, who, ashamed of his actions, decided to take on the name of his dead master, and try to stop the violence that the new Vessles were unfortunately prone to by nature. And perhaps that is how Adonalsium Shattered.

Which one is it though? I'm betting on Cultivation.

If you give it to a new corpse, they may come back to life (of a sort) Amaram's Shards are like Hoid's bead of Lerasium

And...Mettalic. And...invested.
