The thing to keep in mind is that the Command is only one part of what would determine the eventual Type 4 Biochromatic Entity. WoBs:

Have you read Isles of the Emberdark? It's specifically called out that there was no perpendicularity and that FTL was the only method of acquisition which caused Spores to be expensive and difficult to source. IED Ch 36:

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. A few notes: You need to define "reproduce" - do you mean two Kandra have a Kandra child? That answer is No - it was answered in HoA because Kandra come from Mistwraiths; but do not birth young Mistwraiths after becoming Kandra. Do you mean "mate with non-Kandra Sapient they are imitating to have a half-breed child" In this case, Brandon has gone back and forth because he has not disclosed if a Genetic Test could determine a Kandra or not - he intends to answer this in Era three. We do know MeLaan was able to craft flesh close enough to Marasi's to not be rejected as a transplant, but that level of mimicry is still well below "identical down to the DNA" which would be required Also, if the Kandra were identicle down to the DNA enough to reproduce, it's entirely possible the child would simply be of that copied Race (possibly with different sDNA Do you mean imitate a female (specifically) to become impregnated by another race and gestate that fetus to term? In this case, we can only know when Brandon answers or discusses in book - it may be possible, it may only be possible if they do not change forms for the entire pregnancy, or it may not be possible at all. Other threads where this has ben discussed/theorized: How Do Mistwraiths Reproduce Half Kandra Powers Kandra Procreation Why Can't Kandra Reproduce? WoBs: Hope that helps

(SA / Mistborn / Elantris Spoilers) Are there six? Or are they different versions of one? WoBs Below. Such as: Are Adhesion and Illumination different magics or two aspects of the same magic? How about Pewter and Brass? Forgery and AonDor both access the dor through written instructions in the native language of the region the magic originates - Selish systems are weird for the localities involved, but there are definite valid arguements in both directions: 1 Magic with many version, or different magic for each region The original Religion was Trelagism not Trellism (which was Autonomy's co-opted revival). Hope that helps

I used spoiler tags out of respect for the OP, who has not yet had the chance to tell us what they have or have not read - so the Spoiler tag gives them the power to decide to read it or not. Well, we have this WoB (discussion also inside): Hope that helps

The Sharder FAQ has a whole section on editing posts (copied below as well - though the whole FAQ is worth a read). In Private messages, most of teh same it true - and if edited before the message has been read, they will only see the final version. I amunsure how much of this applies to SUs. Hope that helps

REBIRTHS/RESSURECTION/REVIVALS (OB)
Treamayne replied to TheUnInvestedCremling's topic in Stormlight Archive
It is a theme, and done purposefully. WoB (has spoilers for Mistborn and Warbreaker): Spoiler-free WoB Extract: Also, please know that (Minor Anticipatory Spoilers for RoW): Regarding Jasnah specifically: The original version of that seen made it more clear that she was not dead - he edited it after beta reads to make it more abiguous and does regret that decision. WoB: Also, if interested, the link the the deleted Jasnah scene showing she was alive can be found here (hosted on reactormag.com). Hope that helps -
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. Here's that WoB, for reference:

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. Keep in mind that a given MoI isn't decided by a Shard and also is not universal - the Invested Arts arrive as a combination of the Planet's Identity, it's People and how that interacts with a Shard's Intent (e. g. Honor's MOI would not necessarily be Surgebinding accessed through Oaths anywhere but on Roshar). WoB: So, you can theorize about Shardic Intents and how they may influence MoIs, but without tying that to a World and Culture you would have only one part of the recipe that results in an MoI. Hope that helps

Kelsier vs Hoid Who Would Win
Treamayne replied to The WorldHopper Taynix's topic in Cosmere Discussion
It is very unlikely that Kelsier could be in a Kandra body - Identity conflict plus conflict between his Eye Spike and whatever Blessing the Kandra had would be a challenge to resolve (if that were even possible). However, It has been theorized that Kelsier's body is a Mistwraith wearing his own bones that TenSoon secured and saved from the Catacendre. WoBs: Hope that helps -
They were also in The Way of Kings - Interlude 1 (along with Baon who is from White Sand) - There Ishikk nicknamed them Thinker, Grump, and Blunt

Kelsier vs Hoid Who Would Win
Treamayne replied to The WorldHopper Taynix's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Please see Vin Vs Hoid - same applies. It's a draw because neither can hurt the other. Consider checking out the Sharder FAQ, which includes a section on the great search feature the forum has - you can easily find all of the very very many Vs threads. Hope that helps. -
Dhatri - It wasn't that it "disappeared" it simply says - IED Ch 22: A Shard departing would only matter if the perpendicularity was there because of the Shard's presence in the first place. There are other ways a Perpendicularity can form; and many ways for them to be closed. TLM Spoilers: Nightblood may be able to collapse most perpendicularities, but that is far from the only method. And we do not even know how a Perpendicularity may have formed there in the first place (or why).

Aluminum, Silver, and the Metallic Arts rant
Treamayne replied to lacrossedeamon's topic in Mistborn
Not even close to similar - Aluminum is currently $0.08 per troy ounce (as of 20250803). The Powers of the other metals may be more widely understood, but that does not mean that the metals themselves are cheap and ubiquitous. Silver could never match that kind of shear availability. And I am the exact opposite. Given how Silver interacts with spores and shades (and other MoIs) it makes zero sense as the Gnat metal to me. I doubt an allomancer could even survive that kind of caustic reaction happening inside their bodies with a open conduit directly to the Spiritual Realm. But, more importantly. . . Aluminum does not "wipe" metals - it is not an act of destruction and you can't divorce the realmatic principal at work from the other properties of Aluminum that you see as being "fine." Think of it like Halon (Halon 1211 - aka Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF)) - Halon does not destroy Fire - it blocks the chemical reactions of Oxygen starving a fire (without residue or conductivity since it is liquified gas). Aluminum burning in Allomancy does the same, it blocks the reaction that allows metals to release Investiture from the Spiritual Realm. Additionally, no Silver Primary alloy would produce the effects of Duralumin. Concur. We'll have to agree to disagree.- 15 replies

Aluminum, Silver, and the Metallic Arts rant
Treamayne replied to lacrossedeamon's topic in Mistborn
There are more WoBs: Silver does not have unknown allomantic abilities - it has none. It is Allomantically inert (as is Carbon, but that happens to be part of Steel, for example). Aluminum is meant to block investiture, be rare pre-industrial, and become uniquitous post-industrial offering checks and balances on all MoIs (especially the Metallic Arts). It is also meant to open up technological solutions to Fabrial (MagiTech) applications as the worlds grow in understanting of Scientific Method and begin to really break down and process the deeper applications of MoIs. Stormlight Archive Spoilers: Note: Fabrial is one of the terms that will eventually apply to any technologic application of Investiture. WoB: Hope that helps- 15 replies

Aluminum, Silver, and the Metallic Arts rant
Treamayne replied to lacrossedeamon's topic in Mistborn
It was not just that Aluminum is scarce before an Industrialized society - it was because Aluminum becomes ubiquitious during and after an Industrialized society. Silver's scarcity is not tied to the technology level of society in such a way (except tangentially, with new mining techniques). Rashek didn't hide the existence of metals, merely obfuscated which metals had Allomantic Properties. Feruchemists lost the understanding of which metals were Feruchemically viable storages because Rashek effectively killed all living Feruchemists when he turned them into Mistwraiths and created the Kandra. Modern Feruchemists didn't look beyond the known "10 Metals" (that we know of) because the generations born after TLR's Ascension had to relearn everything about Feruchemy. I'm sorry you don't like it.- 15 replies

The problem is, Pewter "healing" is not F-Gold nor is it Stormlight healing. Pewter healing works like everything else Pewter does, slightly faster and slightly more efficient physical process. In Vin's case, her wounds from fighting the Inquisitor took two weeks before she even woke up (TFE Ch 15-16), and months more of limited mobility. Pewter healing seems to be less about "healing" what is hurting - and more about (like tin) everything physical is improved and accelerated (even if you only want one aspect to be boosted), including the natural healing processes. Pewter is likely to help keep you alive, but Duralumin-Pewter seems more effective at avoiding injury than healing it (as Pewter does far more to increase resiliancy, as seen in Vin's various Duralumin+Steel and Pewter stunts, or her Duralumin+Pewter Headbutt in WoA) Annotation to TFE Ch 15: Hope that helps

Are dragons too invested that even Shardblade does not hurt?
Treamayne replied to Sythrin's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Even if a Shardblade could cut into their soul by passingn through flesh, it's likely that it could not cut through the Dragonsteel that is part of their body and bones. I think Nightblood would probably be able to overwhelm a dragon, though, if we’ve already seen it can consume a Vessel. The Spiritual Realm might be limitless, but a dragon’s ability to draw upon it doesn’t seem to be–especially considering how the Dakwara was able to interfere with Starling’s healing. Nightblood, however, consumes Investiture and pierces all three realms, so it likely represents a real danger to Dragons. Whle getting overfull is possible, keep in mind that Nightblood collapsed a perpendicularity without reach Satiety, so it's not just about an active link to the Spiritual Realm. Hope that helps. -
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. Most probably yes, Nightblood attacks on all three realms. Or, do you specifically mean the Anti-light entities? Same as any other being destroyed by Nightblood - a puff of blackened smoke-like corrupt investiture WoB: Hope that helps

Lift The Only One Able To Do Something On Scadrial
Treamayne replied to The WorldHopper Taynix's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Welcome to the Shard. Thank you for the Intro Post; but Please consider editing your First post to let us know what you have or have-not read (whichever list is shorter). We need an easy way to determine what may be a spoiler so that it can be avoided. Also, please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful forum info and tips. Lift is not on Scadrial, she is on Roshar (being trained by Zahel). Also Lift is not the only one with access to Light - Towerlight is still available in Urithiru. The Willshaper Singers have access to the Perpendicularity and Warlight. While Towerlight may be limited to the area around Urithiru, Warlight should be able to be stored in Gems and traded. So, we'll see in book 6 what has become of Roshar without Stormlight. Hope that helps -
Gyro (pronounced jiː.ɹoʊ (IPA) - Ye ro: G is a soft Y sound and Y is an e sound) is a Greek sandwich where ground meat is seasoned with garlic, dill and other herbs and cooked on a spit, so slices can be carved off to make the sandwich (searved on Pita) - Tzatziki (tsæˈtsi.ki (IPA) - Tzaht zee kee) is the traditional "sauce" served on Gyro - made from yogurt, cucumber, garlic and dill. If I make one, I'll update with that picture.
-
We need more information than that, please. From Post One: Optional (but preferred), some reason why you recommend this book to others.
-
While not done as a pizza, we have a recipe we do regularly that could be adapted to a pizza like this: We use ground chicken and turkey - seasoned like Gyro meat and cooked as a loose burger - served on Naan with Tzatziki (homemade when I can) cheddar, feta, tomato and fine sliced green onion. If you made that on a pizza crust without the sauce, then served with Tzatziki on the side - that seems like it would work very well.
