    Yes, I also at first thought they were refering to Rithmatist - but did not think it was a sequel, since we know Brandon has not yet found an appropriate co-author yet. I just thought it was in the wrong section.

    Been here a long time. I keep my ebooks in calibre for easy searching, and practice searching the Arcanum every week. I also sometimes edit the Coppermind (but mostly White Sand so far). After all, that's how I also cobbled together the SHARDER FAQ. Sorry.

    The only WoB we have is a RAFO: Since we know that Ryshadium have a Nahel Bond with Music Spren - it could be something that is attracting either the Rhyshadium or the Spren (or both). The do have an animal's instincts coupled with increased sapience from thier bond. . . so it could be something physical or cognitive being sensed to attract or repulse a Rhyshadium. We just do not yet have enough information (unless it's been revealed in the RPG).

    But there is another factor involved - they are Cognitive Shadows with fake bodies made of Investiture when they Return. Savantism is "A warping of the Spiritweb that may result in changes to the Physical Identity as it tries to match the warped spiritweb" - but Heralds are effectively frozen at the point they became Cognitive Shadows. We don't have confirmation either way, but that may explain why we do not see Savant-like flaws in the Heralds (just Cognitive Flaws from trauma and living too long).

    Except that Preservation did not change feruchemy at all (based on current known information). Preservation made specific changes to Allomancy and an Oracle cannot burn electrum to get an Atium effect. Burngin Electrum creates the effect of Electrum | burning E1Atium creates the E1Atium effect. At no point is either ability changed or tweaked, they just got likely to be one of two mistings that get to burn two metals (the other being Gold/Malatium). It is not impossible that Feruchemy was affected, but we have no indication that it was affected - and none of that applies to E2 or beyond, because Sazed undid Leras' changes during the Catacendre. It does open the possibility that E1 Seers like Yomen might have had an A-Electrum/A-Atium resonance. Hope that helps

    Can you please clarify what you mean by this? Using an atium-mind with stored Age should have no effect on Burning Pewter or storing/tapping Determination, so I am confused by what you mean.

    Please make sure you are spoiler tagging titles and posts based on preview / non-published material. Many here (like me) avoid preview material and readings and would rather not encounter spoilers of unpublished material just because it was unmarked. Please see the the Sharder FAQ for more information and some other useful forum info and tips. Thank you very much

    Welcome to the Shard. Please consider an Intro Post to let us know what you have or have-not read (whichever list is shorter). Also, please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful forum info and tips. There are nine WoBs regarding Dhatri (Aether Planet tag), but much of what we do know (which is not much) cannot yet be discussed here due to the current spoiler period. if yo uhave not yet read IED, you may consider doing so . You may be thinking of the period when Aethers had been added to Liar of Partinel as part of Yolen's story - but that decision was reversed before drafts were even complete (though there are some preview chapters around) Liar WoBs: Hope that helps

    I would say neither of them are smart. Taravangian got help from Cultivation to have one smart day and thereafter spent more time below average than above average. We have no indications that Rashek was particularly smart at all - an uneducated shepherd that happened to murder somebody to take their place. Sure he learned a lot through Fortune while holding the power of the Well - then became powerful enough that his many many mistakes could be covered by brute force. Zinc does not make one smart - it speeds the thinking you already do. Sazed was intelligent and Zinc made his intelligent thinking faster and more capable - but you can't learn on Zinc. For example; If you don't already know how to calculate the speed and trajectory of a Iron-Pulled Sconce, then all of the compounded Zinc you can muster won't get you that answer - and not the way Sazed was able to use it against Marsh. WoB:

    It appears to be a type of Nahel Bond, or at least adjacent to the Nahel Bond the Radiant already has. We saw the windspren that would eventually become Kaladin's plate respond to his Commands as early as Oathbringer Part 1 (When the windspren shielded the fleeing prisoners from the highstorm winds) - so we know that Radiants begin attracting Plate sprean at least by the Third Oath (Also likely why Nomad has both Windpren and Flamespren in his Shardplate). Unfortunately we don't have a definitive answer yet. The only non-RAFO WoB I could find on this is: But that was also dead plate, not living plate - so it's still a partial answer. Hope that helps

    Please see Reading Recommendations. Series should list number of books and if the series is complete or ongoing. Straight Fantasy only? Or including Urban Fantasy, Sci Fan, and other adjacent categories? Threshold for genre overlap? (for example, the In Death Series - J. D. Robb is on Book 60 - averaging 300-ish pages per book - but is it 1 part Urban Sci-Fan, 1 part Crime Thriller and 1 part Romance - Law and Order set in 2060s with fantasy elements) How about formats? (e. g. Deathworlders is Sci Fan Web Serial - so it is over 1 million words, but not separated by "books" and can be read online or downloaded as ePub ( both free) and spawned a shared universe of other free fiction in a shared universe. If the linked list does not help, please let us know any additional considerations.

    If you plan to sing at Nexus, you could try for the Korean: 생일 축하합니다 Saengil Chukhahamnida (Syllable spacing) Saeng-il Chuk-ha ham-ni-da Saengil = Day of birth Chukha = Congratulations Hamnida = present-tense polite conjugation (Chukhahae - informal family/friend conjugation) There are probably number of audio snips to hear the song in Korean if you want to hear how it is pronounced.

    Added, thank you.

    Which one is right, or if any? The circumstances of the battle in Luthadel and Vedenar are obviously not similar, but these statements are a reference to military knowledge. I would personally favor the general Dalinar than crewmember Ham being right, and that the Oathbringer passage was written around 2015-2016, about 10 years after the Well of Ascension. I'm curious, not only which statement is right, but why the two differ at the time of writing. It's all hearsay and is likely based on their world's doctrine. In real life, the common phrase is separated by Attacking armies and Defending armies and is hugely complex. Reference (Blog link - one book is Understanding Defeat by Trevor Dupuy): Hope that helps

    We do not know - Xisis thinks he is dead, Hoid and Starling believe he is alive. Opposite, it is explicitely stated that one of the primary reasons Starling thinks he is alive is because he is not on the Spirit Shores. IED CH 32: Hope that helps

    I've read everything released to physical books and/or epubs (including Curiosities), as well as most of the free fiction on his website and most of the Unpublished Content. I have not read anything audio-only and I avoid sample chapters of future books. I think Dark One is the only release on my bookshelf that I have bought and not yet read. You mentioned Wheel of Time. . . Have you read the deleted scenes? River of Souls (published in Unfettered) A Fire Within the Ways (published in Unfettered III) For non-Sanderson, we also have the Reading Recommendation thread and the What are you Reading? Thread

    Vasher can use Stormlight for the Divine Breath for the same reason Szeth can use Stormlight to wield Nightbood - in consuming investiture it does not matter how it is Keyed. To Awaken with it, Vasher would have to find a way to convert Stormlight to Biochromatic Breath. As for Nightwatcher - she never said she had Nightblood, she only said that she could give it to Dalinar (implying she has a way to get the sword). It's possible Nightwatcher was keeping Nightblood for a while, but this is Sanderson and exact words matter - so, based only on what she says in Oathbringer, we cannot say for certain that Nightblood was ever in the Nightwatcher's possession. Implied, but not confirmed.

    Because, as I said in the beginning, this was meant to be a community list of recommendations, not "Treamayne's list" and I only allow myself to add an entry after every five submitted entries (after the few that we started Page 1 with) I had not yet gotten to Lightbringer - but it's there now. Thank you.

    When and who changed a rhythm from one Shard to a different Shard? RoW Spoilers:

    This seems more like a stream-of-conciousneess list of questions than a theory, but. . . This is a false premise. Corrupt investiture is any investiture changed from it's normal baseline, and was first seen on Sel (Emperor's Soul-spoilers): This may also be False Premise - as Nightblood was made with some portion of Ruin involved. WoB: The current prevailing theory is that by using "Destroy" in the Command, Shashara accidentally invoked some of Ruin's Intent into Nightblood's Command. It also does not only come from Awakened Objects (Nalthian Awakening or other) because it is also seen in Tress and Threnody and anywhere with Midnight Essence - the Father Machine is just an example of an Awakened Fabrial that is creating Midnight Essence. WoB: Hope that helps

    Because he was not yet a Cognitive Shadow. Taravangian was in the Spiritual Realm (thanks to Rayse) and the Spiritual Realm does not tie directly to time or place. Kelsier was in the Cognitive Realm when he received the influx of investiture (and implied Command from Fuzz - not confirmed) that made him a Cognitive Shadow. Or, to use Ruin's terms - Taravangian's string to the Physical Realm had not yet severed, even if his "body' was dying. WoB: Hope that helps

    SHARDER FAQ > Tradition Section has a summary (excerpted below):

    Added a test section to the Sharder FAQ - sourcing the possible ranks. Looking for feedback. Would it be better to use first book appearance? Something else? If it seems helpful, I'll move it to the main post when done with it. . .

    There are more pieces to the puzzle than just Taln and Marsh though. Taln is a Cognitive Shadow Connected to a Splinter of Honor (his Honorblade). Also, you say "spiked" but do you mean as many Spikes as Marsh had? A full set of Inquisitor Spikes? Keep in mind that more spikes means deeper control is possible too. The question cannot really be answered based on so little information, because we don't know how being a CS would affect the situation and we don't know how the Splinter affects it either (or, even, if it does affect anything). So, on the surface - could mortal Taln before his first death or becoming a Herald have resisted Ruin with a full set of inquisitor spikes? Unlikely. It's not about willpower it's about the number and kind of cracks in the spiritweb caused by the Hemalurgy and I think what we saw from Marsh is a best-case scenario.
