The Yoki-Hijo are invested before beginning training, but they did gain investiture over time (but that was possibly due to the Shroud). A common theory is that they have a Splinter of Virtuosity (similar to a Returned's Divine breath), which is why their numbers were limited.

Good is relative. Also, WoP: If you do read Prime, just be prepared to feel like a Weird Al song . . . (Everything You Know is Wrong) When you finish, you can check out the Reaction thread to help clear the mental dissonance of "not-quite-right" and make sense of it all.

Digital Copy is a free download from Sanderson's website, here. There are also threads about it in the WoKPrime subforum, like "Should I read this"

Putting this here (rather than discord) so I can keep a record of possible inconsistencies I find as I update White Sand Omnibus information. Of course, others are welcome to also post any inconsistencies they find, and Keepers can deal with them (or not) at their leisure. White Sand:

That is not the implication I drew from the last few chapters. I thought it was implied that recharging batteries means they can live to a normal age, and will go to the Sun when they are dying (rather than needing more Sunhearts than a mere aging population can provide - and therefore sacrificing people randomly or as capital punishment). Only those killed by violence/accident in the dark should become Shades.

The Atium Shadows (and Gold, Electrum, Malatium Shadows) aren't anything physical that depend on your eyes to "see" - the investiture is giving you information from the Spiritual Realm (where there is no time or place) and Allomancers interpret that as visual cues (but note, they do not have to "see" an Atium Shadow to react to it): TFE Ch 14: HoA Ch 81: WoB: Hope that helps

Please read the Upgrade Thread. IIRC, the posts about status updates atrt on page 2(ish).

Subject to change, of course, but based on current known data it is sometime between Mistborn Era 1 and Way of Kings. Please see Chronology. WoB:

Just finished Blight on my pre-Curse of Krakens re-read (mistimed that since I still have a week to wait). BTW, the pre-order flash fiction (A Whisper of Snakes), mentioned here, is apparently a scene from between Days 13 and 16 in A Plague of Giants. Blog Announcement. Would the Dresden choice also be a re-read, or is this your first time through?

This is doubtful since the Peaks are Cultivation's Perpendicularity. Maybe a CultivationBlade?

The Aons (and likely every other Selish Language related to Manifestations of Investiture) were discovered, not created or developed. Also, we can guess that the same holds true for others (like MaiPon and Dakhor) since the Moon Scepter acts as a rosetta stone for Selish Languages. WoBs: We don't know much about ChayShan, except the implication that the movements are a way of writing in JinDo with the whole body (like Raoden increasing Aon Efficiency by including line width while writing Aon Equations) - In the scene where it is shown (Ch 61) we see how the movements start glowing with Dor access right before Shuden strikes.

Just noticed this evening, I seem to be getting Alerts for reputation I have given instead of reputation I have received (the link was an alert I received pointing to a post by Trusk that I +1ed). Ditto this post (with Alder).

This is likely: Though, that's from 2016 - so it may actually reference Era 4. . . The thing is, like Savantism, it is something that develops over time - so more likely a misting or ferring that gains a second ability through Hemalurgy might develop their own resonance (based on the two abilities now interacting) but it would not have been affected by whatever resonance the spike donor may have had:

All WoBs tagged #Resonance More powers means less Resonance: But they are directly related to the powers: Doubtful - not only is the Resonance an effect generated by the interaction of two powers, Hemalurgy usually strips Resonance:

Similar, but slightly different - my headcanon (barring more evidence) is that Sliverism is revering a pantheon of those that have become Slivers of Infinity: Rashek, for having worked to save mankind for a millenium Vin, for her sacrifice at the Catacendre Marsh, for reasons described above and his connection to TLR This idea was informed by my Full Mistborn re-read pre-TLM and connecting the AoL Sliverism quote back to: (HoA Ch 60) That's one of the main reasons why I think Sliverism is going to be the worship of people who have touched the Power and become Slivers, which can also lead to friction in future Eras when different religions all claim Vin (but in different ways - as some RL religions claim a different role for certain RL religious figures).

That the mechanism is similar to what @alder24 mentioned in his post. If you want more info:

Bands of Mourning: Though I don;t think we yet have examples of the Malwish writing system - perhaps you could use the Steel Alphabet? Hope that helps.

It is implied to not be the case by this section (Steelheart Ch 38): So ,if Prof is on Soldier's Field fighting all-out against Steelheart, and David used the Tensor here - that implies no loss of ability while gifting. However, this section (Ch 41) Implies that it also may be about how much of the power they Gift - because giving too much to one person can also make that person susceptible to the Darkness. My conclusion is that sharing a small amount does not make an appreciable change in the Epic's power level, but giving away more can change their power level, and therefore affect how the Darkness affects them.

They appear to be fixed, but maybe only for PC?

While this is normally a solid idea - and I cannot speak for anybody else - The main reason why I worked out reading suggestions is the large number of friends and coworkers that come to the Cosmere through one of the stories (which is almost never Elantris - the theoretical start point). Usually the conversation goes like this: Hey, have you read Stormlight/Mistborn/Warbreaker? Sure I didn't understand <concept or mechanic> Well, did you know this is related to <Cosmere list>? Uh, no. . . I've known people who's first Cosmere readings were Way of Kings, Sixth of the Dusk, Alloy of Law, Shadow of Self, Warbreaker, The Thrill (OB Excerpts from Unfettered II); not to mention Elantris or Mistborn:TFE. In the latter, it's usually fine - easy to explain. But many of the others require a bit more description and delicacy (to balance enticing details against spoilers). The coworker that started with Way of Kings actually ended up "shuffling" series thanks to book size and worry over missing connections. IIRC Something like: WoK > Warbreaker > WoR > Edgedancer > Elantris > Oathbringer (etc.) So, I can agree that publishing order is rather valid in most circumstances (with some audience considerations) - it's just not always an option, and having a reference can help navigate those shoals. . .

Wayne's "17" references are likely to carry some significance; but what that is is not known yet. Discussed here: Wayne and 17

From a Spoiler perspective, Pits can be read any time in Era 2. However. . . (considerations)

This is actually rooted in normal history. For example, an exerpt from an article about "Anti-Car" measures in the early 1900s: Various anti-car protests persisted through the 70s (not all to "get rid of cars" some just about limiting where or when they can be driven - but especially before the development and proliferation of standardized signage and traffic signals) Some of the articles are foreshadowing, but most are worldbuilding. Remember the English Proverb: This seems like a Scadrial variant - "Ooh, something inexplicable - it must be a new Metal"

You need to spoiler tag all of those answers, so that Ale can decide if they want spoilers or not. This is their thread sharing their journey with us - it is not up to us to ruin it unless they specifically ask for answers. Relevant WoBs - if you want to peek:

This will gain more detail through the book. Do you really want this answer (it will be explained in Era 2). Spoiler tag so you can avoid if it was an idle question: This will also gain more detail in this book (and a more complete explanation further into Era 2) Glad you are enjoying AOL so far - Wayne is certainly something special. . .
