Oversleep

A conversation gone like this: "Will you help me with this in the front of the house?" "But I was supposed to vacuum the attic and mow the lawn." <- later turned out that here I'm "making a big deal out of the attic" Then, a few minutes later into the discussion they started shutting me down and disregarding anything I say with "Why are you arguing?" or "Stop being so quarrelsome!" and "SIGH, I don't know what to do with him. He always argues." (just because I'm not talking to you at the moment doesn't mean I'm not RIGHT HERE). Parents

Oh, I remember that. I started it all. Here is the topic, if somebody is interested.

This again. Sigh. No mention of any 'special' actions to counteract. There is even a comparision to giving up Breath.

Damnation, I wanted to say that! Have an upvote, though.

A question for other long-haired humans (and @Morzathoth): what do you do with your hair when attempting to wear a hood? Hoods are problematic... but I like hoods.

Somebody downvoted that, fixed it. Perhaps you need to add <sarcasm> </sarcasm> to your posts or something... Also, having long hair is fabulous. It's not a coincidence my friends call me the "King of Elves"

I'm not sure I made myself clear. Let's assume various variables of how hard it is to Push on (x). A= spike inside the body B= spike outside the body C= normal metal inside the body The question is: Is A greater than sum of B and C? (Is A > B+C ?)

I think I might have heard about those fire-adapted plants and people making clearances on purpose, but it's still very interesting. What else can you tell me about fire? P.S. I already know stick doesn't want to be fire.

When you read through 139 WoBs on Hemalurgy and wonder why there is only so little. ... Or are there some off-Theoryland WoBs on Hemalurgy?...

Do we have anything more on this "soul proximity thing"? I mean, is it harder to Push on the spike in person than the sum of how hard is to affect a spike and a normal metal piercing person? (spike in person > spike + in person ?)

I found the WoB:

We don't know anything about the Soulcasting ardents... Although it's true that Roshar knows about Realms - back in WoK, in the ardents interlude (quantum entanglement of flamespren, Interlude 8) they casually mention all three Realms.

I hesitate to add the emotional Allomancy/ Feruchemical Duraluminium because we literally don't know whether it works like that. I'd give the same merit to the emotional Allomancy/Feruchemical Aluminium combo (like steelpushing/weight). So I don't add that. And the only use of duraluminium we know so far is speaking in the native language of the land you're visiting. Also, remember what Marsh said? Burning copper is easy to check, just Soothe the guy and if he doesn't react, he's a Smoker. By the way, I'm not looking for specific sets of abilites (like the mentioned spy). For example, Lurcher/Gasper is a great combo for sailors, but it's not what I'm looking for. I search for powers which complement each other - for example, what's the best way to augment Steelrunning? Sand Mastery runs on water, so Feruchemical bendalloy is great for them. And so on. Steelrunning has issues with friction, so let's throw Abrasion there. This one is one of my better entries, as it works the opposite way too - Abrasion lets you slide as long as you have Stormlight, so you'd want to have high initial speed, so Steelrunning. I also gather entries built around specific sets of abilities - like the last entry for seeing the future. Or if you want to live indefinitely long and be healthy, being Elantrian of at least Fifth Heightening able to inhale Stormlight and to use Feruchemical gold is for you. Or if you're looking for physical power and healing, Stormlight with Feruchemical cadmium and Allomantic pewter with Feruchemical gold. Ooooh... I like that. Very clever. I'll soon update the main post about... some things. It'll be at the top.

Even without medallions there are still Nicorbursts.

IIRC somebody (I think Wyndle) commented that some spren can hide easily while some have an opposite problem and can't hide - Pattern always visible. That's why Shallan forces him to be still and he pretends to be an ornament on her dress and things like that.

Scadrial is not one of the heavily Invested worlds. IIRC Roshar is one of them.

@Drake Marshall, this is already done. There is an entry for Lightweaver with Compounding copper (it lets you have as many Memories as you want) and Allomantic copper hides your lightweaving from any Investiture sensors. There is also entry for full sensory pack (Allomantic tin, Feruchemical tin, Heightenings). Although I haven't thought about combining these two...

Mine's 11: XD

Guys, what do you think about grouping entries? Like I have Lightweavers in three or four different places, should I lump them together? On the other hand it would completely destroy the chronological order of updates and checking the main post for updates would be a nightmare. I've made some updates: Also updated Sand Mastery entry:

I am not sure what you mean. Do you imply that Hemalurgy can be performed by anyone but only on Scadrians? We know that's not the case. Now that I reread that first WoB, I don't know what Brandon meant either.

I just realized I don't remember anything from my mathematical analysis courses. That's bad. @Silverblade5, have you tried Wolphram?

I keep combos (as unrelated powers together) for later in the timeline. Right now nobody has the right knowledge to be able to have two different powers. Neither do I - I don't know how to make them possible. Yet. This would be a real gamechanger sometime in the future... When I say combo, I mean like a character able to control wind and capable of foresight - these two powers do not have anything in common. But a character with control over wind, water and electricity is perfectly fine, as his ability is simply "storm". As long as you can think of a single (not far-fetched) denominator, it's fine. Wait. I think I just realized how to foreshadow the possibility to combine abilities... Maybe. I think I'll stop talking about my worldbuilding for now. If anyone wants to know more, I frequent Creation Daily. PMs are also welcomed.

Both Savants (or just tapping nicrosil or Hemalurgy) and Heightenings are just a matter of increase of the power avalaible. However, no amount of Stormlight would make a fresh Surgebinder able to manifest a Shardblade. Back in WoK Syl talks about taking something from Kaladin and giving something in return. Also, Brandon multiple times talked about Roshar having magical symbiosis. Not to mention it just seems to be symbiosis. Two different organisms together, benefitting from their relationship.

Yeah. I go by "magical origin, normal interaction" rule. Untill I ripoff Brandon and make a character capable of altering friction

Appointing a champion or representant in your name is a real concept. Brandon did not invent this; I don't see how would that be connected. Appointing a champion could happen in every of the cosmere books and it would still be a concept each culture invented on their own.
