Hi there Mr. Sanderson-
No specific topic for my questions, just random things I think about. Sorry if they get annoyingly detailed
1)So, what would happen if someone stole Sazed's copperminds and beat them all to death with a hammer, to the point where they are in multiple pieces? Would anything detrimental happen to the investiture? Along a similar note, what if a metalmind gets rusted or corroded or some kind of chemical-change style damage rather than physical-change style damage?
2)Just for clarification, what exactly happens when a shardblade cuts through a limb- I think TWoK mentioned the whole limb went dead, but where are the cutoff points? If I cut below your elbow, would the deadness just go to the elbow, or up to the shoulder? Below the wrist? If I hit your finger, would it go to the base of the finger or the whole hand or the whole arm?
2b) Would shardblade-arm-slice be effective in a battlefield medicine situation to deaden the arm before an amputation or something?
and now for something completely different
3)Can you confirm the existence of squeespren? Because I can guarantee you that they are flocking to the chatroom right now, as they do every time you do something as wonderful and cool as this.
aaaaaand to go for some totally irrelevant information
4)I recently have become obsessed with Doctor Who (and the Tenth Doctor), and was wondering if you liked the show/who your favorite Doctor is?
To repeat what others have said, thank you so much for doing this. I can't wait to participate in what I'm sure will be the first of many campouts outside the BYU bookstore for SA2
See you next year!
