Oversleep

WoB that Odium did Invest since he has his own magic:

#earthIsCosmere And thus we have found our first worldhopper...

I feel you should include hemalurgy acupuncture in that.

Ummm nope. It acounts for difference between harmonium and lerasium/atium alloy. It doesn't include the suggested rule for not alloying harmonium with atium and/or lerasium.

Preservation created Terris prophecies which were later twisted by Ruin.

Random thougth: What would have happened to the world if somebody came along and gave an universal moral system which would unambigously value everything? And it would work for everyone, everywhere, always? Hm... of course it's impossible but let's say we have some psychoemiters on sattelites to enforce this.

Assuming there is only one alloy of given metals (so no difference between lerasium alloy of malatium and atium alloy of lerasium-gold alloy): The simplest way to count is it like this: Godmetal #1: it's in the alloy or not (2 options) Godmetal #2: it's in the alloy or not (2 options) ... Godmetal #16: it's in the alloy or not (2 options) so 2*2*2...*2 = 2^16. That's what we can get out of 16 godmetals (including nothing). But then we also may want to include 16 basic metals (or we may not want, so multiply by 17). So all in all, it's 17* 2^16. Or 1 114 112. But wait, this can mean no godmetal and no basic metal. That's nothing. We don't want that. Substract one. 1 114 111. Mind you, this is without harmonium. But with harmonium we just multiply the first number by 2 (harmonium or no harmonium), then substract "no metal", so 2 228 223. This does not include "no harmonium alloys of atium or/and lerasium" thing.

I think Pits were Ruin's Shardpool nontheless. The part with Preservation cutting off a piece of Ruin caused them to produce atium in such amounts. I see it that way: Leras hooked up that part of Ruin to the Shardpool and forced it to produce atium.

By statistics, some of them ought to contain number 42 in-text.

Seconded.

Granted, this WoB is over 8 years old. If harmonium works in any system, it works in all three. On the other hand, we haven't seen it used in any of them. Although I think it would be weird if a godmetal of two Shards who own these systems would not work in them.

Fixed. I think we knew that Shades aren't caused by a Shard in the meaning "There is a Shard there and it's part of its magic system" but going off AU essays (Threnody was showered with ripped off chunks of Ambition) I find it hard to believe it's not related.

IIRC all predators in Forests are extinct due to the Shades.

Would Mistborn with mixed Threnodian blood be able to burn silver? What would have happened?

It all just clicked. We know there is something funky with Scadrial's Realmatic interactions due to the fact that Ruin and Preservation created Scadrial. We know that it's theoretically possible to make Shardblades of other Shards; we know that Shardblades (Rosharan ones) are made of godmetal. But as somebody pointed out, they wouldn't be necessarily Allomantic without a Shard Investing in Scadrial. Wyndle mentions a link between power and metal (as Shardthings have to metal). So far only Three Metallic Arts have "god" components - while Brandon mentioned that some Surges could be considered godSurges, it's not as clear cut. (I don't remember any god Aon and I doubt there is a God Command) So I think it's a cosmere-wide phenomenom for Shard's power to manifest as metal. And that's why Ati and Leras created Scadrial with a focus of metal, to utilize this phenomenom - that way their own pieces can be used in their magic systems. Of course, there are so-called godspren - but I think Roshar has a focus of spren and in that way it's similar to Scadrial: Scadrial uses Physical form of Investiture and Roshar uses Cognitive form. The Spiritual form of Investiture is natural and is just Investiture. EDIT: Perhaps aluminum was Adonalsium's godmetal - that's why it absorbs Investiture, because the god it belonged to no longer exists. It became void and that's why it absorb's Shards Investiture. Of course, due to the fact it's Part of Metallic Arts it works, kind of. Or maybe it's "atium is one of the metals" misdirection Phase 2. Maybe there is yet another metal and it's alloy. (Going crackpot here, I know) EDIT 2: Going off the theory that it's chunks of Ambition what causes the Shades maybe Ambition's godmetal would be silver...? Naah, that's 99% wrong.

Do you think there is a difference between lerasium alloy of malatium and atium alloy of lerasium-gold alloy? Anyway, I think you may want to take a look at that.

Of course, this is the same person who somehow translated Dominion as Domination. Be warned.

I've been meaning to take a blood test for few years now (heck, when I turned 18(official adult) I was even told by a doctor to do that). I'm sleepy all the time. My life can be summed up in three words: "Woke up tired". And I mean those times I get a good 10 hours of sleep.

Here Brandon talks about potential sequels to White Sand...: Mixed feelings - I want them be prose but gotta buy Cosmere, right?

Something ends, something begins.

I bought the Volume 1 on amazon, but now I got the prose and now I know the Polish publisher is translating it, so... I think I'll be getting Polish graphic novel only if my mom would want to read it (she can't read in English).

EDIT: Here are some Reddit WoBs compiled by Pagerunner. Have you ever had a problem with finding a WoB? Post here, describe what WoB was about or perhaps some phrases you remember and chances are somebody has it handy! Reminder: This is not the place for discussion. Anyway: does anyone remember a WoB that powers in nicrosil have to be stored separately?

I assume it's speculation? Or do you have any WoBs to back it up? Anyway, this feels wrong on many levels. Show me your math but I think gravity scaling causes a lot more problems. I'll dig into it tomorrow.
