I think of Kaladin as more of a combat pragmatist. Sure he prefers a spear - that's what he has trained with the most. However, even back in WoK we see him using throwing knives and using a spear tip as a dagger to kill the Shardbearer. In WoR we see him use his decapitated spear as a quarter staff. Facing down Moash and Graves, he uses a boot knife when Moash broke his spear. The list goes on. . .

OB Ch 84: I don't think this is a RetCon. Even Syl isn't sure that they killed it and the WoB says that they did not. More likely, they severed it's connection to the Physical Realm (possibly making it a deadeye) - which is very different from the Anti-Light which annihilates the investiture from which the spren is formed.

Yeah, I took that to mean that nobody purposely removed the rocks (allowing nature to decide their fate), but it still does not imply the rock stacks became solid - only that the Fabrials the spirits have become last longer the more spirits that were bound in a single session.

Where did you find that? The only reference I can find about stone being fused is when Yumi is in Painter's world, remarking about buildings:

Would it not depend on what you were doing at two a.m.? Possibles: Les Miserables (symphonic cast is my preference since it has the entire score) - generally when doing things when I don't want distractions Big band/Mid-century/Ballads - Generally when I want variety without too much Oomph (Sinatra, Clooney, Crosby, Martin, Davis Jr., Bennet, Nabors, Boys II Men, Celtic Thunder, Collabro, Bublé, etc.) Rock/Pop ballads - Generally when I want variety with a varied amount of Oomph (any/everything from the Beach boys to Disturbed - their remake of Sound of Silence is a great example - Pentatonix, Buffett, BNL, etc.) Harder - Generally only for working out or high-energy (which can be 2am depending on rotating shifts) Hip Hop, hard rock, metal, etc. (Linkin Park, Metallica, Hatebreed, C+C Music Factory, Rammstein, BMX, etc.) So, basically, 2am is not much different than any other time of day (except sleeping - which is generally categories 1 and 2 above)

WoB?

While I dislike definitives, I would give this a 99.9% no. By definition a "godmetal" is the investiture of a shard in physical form in the physical realm. "Harmonium" has two shards from the same vessel and is distinctly unstable. No matter how much of Endowmment's Investiture Nightblood might consume; they would be, at best, an alloy of carbon, Iron (steel), Endowment, Ruin, Honor and any other flavors he has ingested over time. Even that is doubtful since we don't by which mechanism some investiture is retained and other investiture is released as "black smoke" (corrupted investiture).

Welcome to the Forums! But please try not to double post (also please be aware of how the post to which you are replying is; while this wasn't quite a thread necro - but anything over about 6 months old should have relevant new data or just start a new thread and reference the old thread). Here are some tools you may not yet be aware of that may help: Exactly - in the Physical realm and shardblade form - damage is most likely. In the Cognitive realm, no more deadeye.

I have not yet voted, as I wanted to know if the OP includes Emperor's Soul with Elantris (Sel) or should it be under "Other." Sixth of the Dusk is also near the top of my list - especially the Shadows Beneath edition! (see bottom of linked post) Warbreaker, White Sand, and Mistborn Era 1 are also high on the list. Requires more thought. . .

Why do you say two alternates - you only see one Gold Shadow when burning gold. Discussed in more detail here and here. I think what the OP was saying was that filling an aluminum mind stores Identity, and they sumise that while burning gold you actually have two identities (yours and the Gold Shadow's) so you would instead store the gold shadow's identity instead of your normal one.

You may be interested to read the Stormlight Translation thread (it's long, but detailed and interesting) which is where the Sharders collaberated when deciphering the various scripts in Stormlight Archive. I believe the discussion of Glyphs starts somewhere around page 8.

This is incorrect - the portion of the Spiritweb that has the ability also has a portion of the Identity that was attached to it. WoB: Healing all major disabilties (at least partially) depends on if the person being healed consideres themselves disabled. WoB

It's worth noting that Allomancy, and Scadrial are not the only magics that require "snapping" (but not necessarily the same term). SA Spoilers:

I've been thinking that Autonomy (and possibly the Sand Lord) don't so much want Sand Mastery to stop so much as they used this event to manipulate Kenton and the Diem. I mean look at what happened - the A'Kar was humiliated, the Diem was saved and received some changes it has needed and resisted for generations, popularity for Sand Mastery in Lossand is higher than ever and the surviving Sand Masters received a dose of humility. So, while I do believe the Sand Lord said that to Elorin, I don't think it actually reflects the Sand Lord's "relationship" with Sand Mastery.

The 17th Shard (organization) definitely does not want to make a new Shard - that is very far from that group's goals. Well, since we never confirmed Wayne's Resonance - I wonder if maybe part of the Slider Resonances has to do with Fortune (and the aspect depends on with which second ability it is resonating). WoBs:

Nice theory I had thought of Fortune in the climax, but hadn't connected to his investments over the whole series. WHich would imply it goes back to SoS at least. . . Uh - maybe I'm underthinking this but wouldn't it be Harmony / Harmonium?

Concur. I just misunderstood what you were trying to describe at first. Though, I would say that your example probably needs a third column (alder24's example for polish Stormlight was a literal translation "Storm Light," but if your example page were one of the Orders (e.g. Windrunners then it would be: Polski | Wiatrowi | People of the wind)) since part of the enjoyment is seeing how the translation may adjust meaning/implication.

OIC, your idea makes more sense now. It's not so much what I want, so much as I was tryig to help brainstorm possible ideas. I love the Categories pages, and while I doubt I am the only one; I also recognize that not everbody uses them. To me, it's far easier to see a "glossary of <language> terms for Roshar than to go term by term (oh, that's Windrunners? WHat's Dustbringer? <click link>, okay how about edgedances? <click link>, etc.) Honestly though, why not both? If the work has already done to find the terms (by stalwart translators), then an "index" translation of something like SA Categories would have all terms for a single related series in one spot - cross linked by each language into which that series has been translated - and - on given term's pages that term's tranlations can be found in a translation subheading.

I agree - that was just a very quick cut/paste example - though they are not unrelated terms - they came from the category list for The Way of Kings (with all of the proper names removed) - then pared down to be an example. Original List: I made some last-minute changes (like Fused instead of Ardent) because alder24 included the later in his list. More organized? How can you get more organized than an itemized list that matches the category, links to relevant pages and includes the wikitable sort function so it can be sorted by whatever field the user needs? Sorry, I don't mean to be argumentative, but I am very confused by this feedback. (unless maybe it doesnt; display correctly for everybody else?). . .

Here is a test page of the idea I was trying to describe. If there are enough languages, maybe divide the table by continent to make sure it is not too wide. My (long range) idea being that for each book there would be a translation page that would include the list of all languages into which the book has been published, a glossary of names (likely all cognates), and a linked list of keywords with their translation (as needed) Example: Spren would link to the spren page, the Spanish term would link to the spanish language spren page, etc.

Keep in mind that Tien can both be dead (departing for the Beyond) and his Spiritual Shadow can still be in the Spiritual Realm for Dalinar to connect to Kaladin. WoB

Reposting from the Rep Poll thread:

Maybe a linked tangential page, the same way we have: <book>\Interioir Art <book>\Summary <book>\Epigraphs We could have <book>\Translations with a list of book versions and a glossary of translated terms for those versions. It could also link to teh appropriate Covvers for those translations.

Okay, with spoilers~ish. This is why I bolded the part above: (Tress-White Sand-AoN) Hope that helps, and maybe you'll be able to carve out some more time for reading these great stories. I keep books with me and read every time I have to wait - when most people would waste time on their devices (games, surfing, videos, etc. on their phone/tablet) I'm reading something - stagnant traffic, waiting in line at the bank, filling the gas tank, etc. If Emporer's Soul is not in the Complete column, then it should be on this list (before or after Elantris). It's a short novella (like Edgedancer and Dawnshard) and is the first story for a character you saw in Lost Metal.

Have you read Aether of Night? Are there Cosmere titles you have not yet read? I don't think we have much Canon data for comparison yet I don't think the bolded part is entirely accurate Based on Canon, unknown. Based on other sources, this is likely possible (maybe even probable and Prasanva's version being the more advanced/difficult version because he is compensating for his age and physical degradation) Keep in mind that Roseite is a crystalline structure, so size-to-mass might be a bit misleading. We don't have solid data yet, but I would guess that a Roseite Golem version of a Thunderclast might weigh half as much as the stone does. By shardhammer, you mean the Warhammers designed for Rosharans in dead shardplate, or do you mean a Radiant using their spren as a Warhammer? EIther way, this would likely be larger as it is meant for a 12-foot golem, rather than a (roughly) 8-foot Shardbearer (7ish feet after conversion from Rosharan feet, plus an extra foot~ish of height from the Shardplate) Again, not really enough data to compare. Is a 12 foot Roseite Golem stronger than a 12 foot Koloss? Maybe - maybe not. Again, we don't have much data - but what we have is implied to be similar to a Feruchemist tapping Iron - enough strength to be functional in the size/form being created (as opposed to some multiplicative strength-to-size increase). Keep in mind that the way Prasanva and Siljana are depicted in TLM is not entirely normal to how an Aetherbound might utilize the Aether in a natural setting (rather than through DorJars) I don't want to speculate too far without knowing if and where your spoiler line(s) might be - but AoN, Tress and (to some extent) White Sand may all have facets that apply to this conversation (off the top of my head).
