Oversleep

Do you do Discord? We could hold a private conversation there. (It's Shard-related stuff but I'm keeping it quiet cause I don't even know if I will be able to do it. It's mostly about WoBs). I wish I could still be as active and shower people with WoBs... but I got tangled up in my own projects (one of which is the one I want to ask you some stuff for) so I had to cut down my Shard time. Thank you for your words of appreciation. "Ever since admins abandoned the lore and mods turned against us" is a line paraphrased from the Way of Kings blurb: "The age before the Heralds abandoned us and the Knights Radiant turned against us". My line references the fact that old guard gets caught up in administration stuff and they just can't keep up as much as they would want to. It breaks my heart. I fear it's happening to me too.

Can you prove you're self-aware? Honestly - even though I haven't seen much of you - it seems you're doing good work, please keep that up. Ever since admins abandoned the lore and mods turned against us I haven't seen much people who know their WoBs like you do. Also, there's something other I'd want to ask you but it's related to my side project so if you're fine with me asking you few questions please send me a PM

Here is a compilation of WoBs about Hoidsense: You can see the idea evolved from "feruchemy" to "fortune manipulation". BTW, this: is not true. You do not 'gain' Hemalurgy; something other can be gained *by* Hemalurgy. But the actual ability to use Hemalurgy? Anyone can do that. Ruin doesn't care: So Hemalurgy can be done by anyone anywhere.

In a recent development, the idea changed. The opening is all stylized and stuff but that's just the man being dramatic and theatrical; the whole thing would an interview (titled something like 'Blue Flame.The last confession') between the reporter who was born well after the mages took the power and one of the last living mages who did the coup who is like ninety. Although I feel like I need to read such book first to get the grasp of how interview like that goes and flows.

I started randomly writing about mages revealing themselves to the world by stopping a revolution in its track and taking the power for themselves "We raised our hands to the sky and summoned fire, and wind, and lightning, and hailstorm. And just how it began - the revolution ended; and we killed it. With fire, and wind, and lightning, and hail." I think it's a short story, and kind of told from the perspective of somebody recalling these events, trying to explain why they did the things they did. How he thinks it was the best they could have done and that stuff. I'm trying to nail that kind of biblical tone with repetitions and style choices ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only thing scarier than what's happening is division of the minds of the people, one side completely unable to comprehend the other.

I think one is for Honor (Stormfather), one is for Cultivation (Nightwatcher), one is for both (or some old Adonalsium spren).

I'm... kinda repulsed by these. Even without playing them.

That's just Reality Warping.

So that's the man behind that trope!

Also, we know he can't go back in time: The question whether time travel into past is possible is - I think - open at the moment and Brandon has been evasive with "nobody has managed it" or "we haven't seen it".

But... that's a very accurate description! The purpose of the thread is to explain plot badly, noty excellently!

What if a Returned gave a parshman Divine Breath in the middle of highstorm? Would such Listener use that Splinter as they would use a spren and enter a Form?

I assume you're going off that WoB: But if you look at the next WoB in line: Take that as you want.

Which one is the true cover? The one on the left was taken from post on Brandon's site, the one on the right from TOR article. There are some color differences, I advise opening both of them in new tabs and switching between them.

I assume it's similar to burning metals - while starting or stopping is conscious decision, the process (storing/tapping or burning) is instinctive and natural to the user.

We had lengthy discussion of that stuff here:

No, I don't think that's what you meant, I just wanted to include that WoB in this discussion here and I can't find it

I read that as I know there's no such thing as "too much Cosmere" but I think I need to switch my interests for a time and go dig in Selish WoBs.

That the rate at which the metalmind was filled is not related in any way to speed of tapping. It's similar to these: But I think it was more lengthy and not paraphrased and Brandon talked a bit more about it. Honestly, that second WoB pretty much is enough to confirm it but I think I saw another one.

I'm just gonna go through each entry in http://www.theoryland.com/intvsresults.php?kwt='feruchemy'

@The One Who Connects I think I'm gonna go and sieve through every of Feruchemy WoBs on theoryland then. Won't be pleasant but situations like that make me doubt my sanity. And I still need to go through Pagerunner's database from start to bottom. How many WoBs are there? Something like 700? Who needs books when you have WoBs, amirite?

@The One Who Connects I'm 99% sure it's theoryland. And I've seen those in my search but... it could be one of those WoBs that don't contain keywords or something.

I'm looking for a Feruchemy WoB that says the rate of storing does not affect the rate of tapping.
