That's explained - it amounts to: his father was Elantrian.

The 17th Shard as the Kandra Nation.
Oversleep replied to Calderis's topic in General Brandon Discussion
So did I. I read my first Sanderson book (which was Way Of Kings) in April of 2015. Guys, we can't be all Thirds... I think I'm gonna go be Steel Heraldqusitor or something... -
I can't think of stuff that cannot be described by math.

The 17th Shard as the Kandra Nation.
Oversleep replied to Calderis's topic in General Brandon Discussion
You could see it that way... but what about people wielding the awesome power of shaping the forum as they see fit, capable even of unmaking the forum altogether, those who carry the Dawnhammers? What about those who walk between us, whose holy task is to govern and control, who carry the Banhammers? -
I've seen episode one and two of Dimension 404. Eagerly waiting for more... although I'd prefer it more like the first episode, the second one was a bit cliche. But Joker/Firelord Ozai/Luke Skywalker/Mark Hamill is killing it with being the voice over.

Look up engines. Engine is a machine transforming one kind of energy into mechanical energy.

I have absurdly strong character (think superhero strength) - you know, things like punching through walls, cracking sidewalk with jumping etc. The question is: how do I make the strength feats consistent? (Without getting a degree in few fields) If punching through wall requires less strength than lifting a car and he can do the latter but not the former I have a pretty big flaw. I hoped superhero fandoms would have such tables classifying various feats but apparently they categorise everything by how much a character can lift.

Is Hoid aware that he's a character in a book? (Probably)
Oversleep replied to Luck Spren's topic in Stormlight Archive
He's not, no breaking fourth wall in cosmere allowed. -
Actually that doesn't prove anything. As far as we know, he could fill an unkeyed coppermind and give it to someone (for whatever reasons other than sharing knowledge), he could also keep a coppermind on him named "bad memories" and he still could Compound copper to make the coin-like Feruchemical copper medallions. Of course, on the off posibility that coin was special and (although there are mentioned to be more coins like that in New Seran) not mass produced, we're back to not knowing how Compounding copper works. BTW, when you qoute a WoB you should include a link with to it

Of course - they are both related to martial arts.

How fast is Kaladin/Szeth when using full speed ?
Oversleep replied to MONARCH's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Depends on terminal velocity. Without buoyancy effects it's where represents terminal velocity, is the mass of the falling object, is the acceleration due to gravity, is the drag coefficient, is the density of the fluid through which the object is falling, and is the projected area of the object. While I don't know how to calculate it for Roshar with it's different atmosphere, take note that as you increase g linearly (adding more Lashings) the terminal velocity only increases by root of g. (Also, remember that Roshar's gravitational acceleration is 0.7g) Anybody feels up for the task? -
The only confirmed thing of Mraize's collection is the tree branch which is Yolish: The hairpins could be just hairpins. Maybe somebody's important hairpins. Sand is probably from Taldain. Silver knife is probably from Threnody. The rest is pure speculation.

The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!
Oversleep replied to traceria's topic in General Discussion
Dunno. I just never did. -
Do Heralds need to consume Investiture in order to stay in their bodies (as they're reborn Cognitive Shadows which means they're pretty much Returned-like beings)? What would happen if a Soulbearer tried to store all of his Spiritweb at once? (assuming lots of nicrosil to store into)?

The Reason there are no Awakening Savants.
Oversleep replied to Calderis's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I'd need to do some more WoB hunting before I say anything more. I have few models in mind; the thing is, Resonance is quite important in all of them (from my point of view). -
The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!
Oversleep replied to traceria's topic in General Discussion
That moment when you're 22 and you haven't even done the driving license course. -
First of all, I cannot into wikipedias. Second, I want to hunt for more WoBs (I'm sure they're out there somewhere) but I have no time for that right now

@Islington I've stated that very specific combinations that work for only one person (like Nightwatcher deals) are of no interest to me.
-
Yeah, I like that too. There are very few poems that made a lasting impression on me and "Do not go gentle into that good night" is one of them. If anybody is interested what that music is: It's original "No Time For Caution" track from Interstellar... however, when at 2:31 organ kicks in, there is Echo effect applied. And of course the poem is spliced into the beginning. I don't remember how I found it though. I find it great to play in background when I'm learning, especially if it's middle of the night before the exam XD

If we spike a Soulbearer with some Metallic ability, what happens to the Hemalurgical charge of the spike if the ability is stored completely in nicrosil at the time?

The Reason there are no Awakening Savants.
Oversleep replied to Calderis's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Reminder we have conflicting WoBs on spiking Breaths. Anyway, savanthood is something that happens with end-positive Investiture which does need cracks in Spiritweb to form a pathway for Investiture to pour into user; savanthood is where that flow of Investiture deteriorates more of the soul, making the cracks bigger. So it would mean that there is no savanthood for Feruchemists or Awakeners. Which would make the Twinborn Resonance all the more interesting. -
Random Stuff X: Something Weird

In the second one Extesian provided it's Brandon who uses this exact words: Combined with what we know and Spool's WoB I'd be very surprised if it turns out that there is no cap.
