  1. I do not think we have enough information to make this deduction. Notably missing, we have not seen how much light an Edgedancer besides Lift would need to inhale to get the same effect she demonstrated. We do not even know how much light the fabrial that Nale used on Szeth consumed to complete a similar effect. I did not find a WoB on the subject either. But we do have this WoB that indicates answers are coming: Hope that helps
  2. Welcome to the Shard. Thank you for the Intro Post, please consider editing it 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 (such as editing posts). As of Stormlight Archive Book 1, confirmed MoIs include (Spoilers for M:SH, Warbreaker, WoK and WoR) As of the furthest forward in the Cosmere Future (Spoilers for Secret Projects, Stormlight Archive): Hope that helps
  3. Glad to hear you are enjoying the recap in preparation to continue reading. Are you familiar with the flashback strategy? Minor anticipatory spoilers: Very interesting deduction
  4. ConcentrationSpren - or as I like to call them "Leave me alone and do not interrupt me right now" spren. Would make work so myuch less painful. Every. Day.
  5. Copy all, updated. I've never tried the time filter because I've never had a search time-out (but then, I rarely search more than two forums at one time). Thank you very much.
  6. Depends on the person. Major events for books and series I follow, I will know to the book (and sometimes section or chapter) because that is how I organize things for how I think. It aids my enjoyment of the works and helps me look up references when answering a new reader's question. WoT is not one of the sereis for which I have done that, though.
  7. No offense. Just providing context since you did not seem to know why so many topics were locked. We are probably due for another round of old topic locks. . .
  8. Because about 6ish years ago, the necro-posting was rampant (especially early-Covid time) - so the mods locked everything over a certain age to help enforce the site policy.
  9. You had a busy Mission to attend to, somebody had to pick up the slack. . .
  10. To be fair, it was you, me and @alder24 - all three of us would respond with WoBs and book quotes (but rarely the same thread, if I saw you or Alder already responded; I knew my input was not needed). Besides, I thought I was better known for the Sharder FAQ and "the welcome message"
  11. It's on the WaT "Rewarding Spren" image. I don't think a version wth the translation on the picture has been made yet, but I clipped it above. From the Coppermind: Hope that helps
  12. 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. I think part of the equation is what other Cosmere have you read? Stormlight Archive is the most crossover heavy (starting in WoR and increasing with each book), so if you are the type that has not read other Cosmere and also like shorter books between bigger books, then mixing in other Cosmere between Stormlight works is a great method to do so. I've had a number of friends who did so. From the Reading Order Q&A: Some people do start with Stormlight Archive (Book 1 - The Way of Kings), but I do not recommend that. Of the people I know that have started here, most have regretted it; or finished book 1, then moved to other Cosmere works between books in this series (*see example explanation below). Each book is quite large (1000+ pages) and while Book 1 can be safely read early, later books can quickly have references or spoilers for things you have not yet read. It's certainly not wrong to start here - it is epic and long and wonderful. just understand the trade-off you will have by making that decision. *That specific example: The referenced individual read SA Book 1, Mistborn Era 1, Warbreaker, SA Book 2, Edgedancer, Elantris, SA Book 3 etc Stormlight Reference list: Hope that helps
  13. Please do not double post - it is against site policy. If you need to add something to your post, please use the edit feature
  14. Well, not every discussion. The Venn diagram is probably something like: The other two categories may be small, but non non-existent (e. g. Princess Bride - way better than the book, The Martian - both good for different reasons)
  15. Not for discussion - because politics and site policy do not mix. For context <rant-lite> We can PM if you want more thoughts, but here is not the place for that larger discussion. </rant>
  16. Yeah, not the place for my thoughts on this - so I'll just say I have no hope and it doesn't really matter because it is very unlikely I'll be able experience them anyway.
  17. As per title - Article Excerpt:
  18. Welcome to the Shard. Thanks for the Intro Post, though it would help to know which novellas are unread, so we can avoid spoilers if necessary. Also, please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful forum info and tips.

  19. This section is for discrete questions seeking answers, not theorizing (which belong in the Discussion forums). I'm not certain which your goal is, but the closest WoB we have on this is: Considering we do not really know what a Dawnshard is, I do not think any meaningful conclusions can be reached regarding your question. We cannot even say for certain if a Dawnshard is composed of Investiture itself. We do not have that information; for all we know the heightening-like effect could be because it coalesces SR investiture to itself rather than being it's own large source of investiture. Hope that helps
  20. It is your tattoo, so feel free to go with whatever makes you happy. That said, using "ay" for the "i" in time only really works if you are trying to imply an accent or dialect of some kind. If I was designing this tattoo for a client, I would recommend against using a non-official random internet phoneme system. If you don't want IPA (because Brandon did not devise it using IPA as a base) you should probably still use their correlations ("Time" would be - t ai m). The "ay" correlation for ɪ is when the y sound progresses into the next syllable (example was Mayan - Spanish vowel); otherwise rice, pie, hi. Hope that helps
  21. I would say that you are overthinking the Phoenetic part - you can find all four words in the available resources (see below) Resources: The Translation Thread Coppermind Page Navani Translations Hope that helps
  22. You may be interested in these similar threads: If you were a misting & Which Misting If you were a ferring Everyday Feruchemy Twinborn Everyday Value Metallic Arts Poll Hope that helps
  23. Then why is it in Q&A (which is meant to help new readers find answers to common questions)? Hypothetical and joke threads are probably better in a Discussion forum.
  24. I'm sorry. I took it to mean an actual reading order that somebody might accidentally encounter. Why would you ever hurt a potential fan by recommending splitting series to read parts out of order?
