    Ah. Well in that case voting for a lynch is valid I suppose. Although at this point I don't see any real reasons for lynching... So far we are just a crowd of paranoid strangers in a marketplace. What reason would a crowd sitting in a market place have to suddenly hang a random member?

    Are we starting with voting for lynching? Shouldn't that be last in the cycle?

    Stick should be a role immune to surge of transformation

    Granted. Your bane is that 2018 will be the worst year in the history of all of humanity. Any progress you make in 2017 will be undone twofold come 2018. Enjoy. I wish for understanding.

    Shardholder of Irony... I find that, ah.... ironic, considering I independently set mine to Herald of Irony.

    Can I sign up?

    I suspect that regrowth would very easily cure poison. Stormlight healing is very effective. It even cures nonlethal shardblade cuts, which implies that it can heal cognitive and quite probably spiritual injuries, like gold feruchemy is capable of. Also may I note that gold feruchemy at least is confirmed to cure poisoning because Wayne was able to drink a lot and use gold to not get intoxicated. That soulcasting trick seems terrifically dangerous; I would imagine regrowth is the preferable way to deal with poison. Oh I think it is definitely fair to say that Sanderson doesn't go out of his way to kill characters to draw tears or make an impression... But storm it, if the end of HoA didn't make an impression on you I'm not sure what would.

    There will be quite an interesting conversation between Dalinar and Adolin on the horizon I think, yes... I have a hard time picturing Adolin lying to Dalinar, or Dalinar being convinced if Adolin did lie... And yes, there will be attempts on Adolin's life. Plenty of people want him dead. For what its worth though, the Kholin house is the only known group to survive (multiple) assassination attempts from the assassin in white... I know Kaladin will be away for at least a small time at the beginning of Oathbringer... But still, the closest people to Adolin will be a bunch of trained bodyguard Windrunner squires, Dalinar with surgebinding powers, Shallan with surgebinding powers, and Renarin with surgebinding powers (including regrowth in case Adolin is poisoned...). I do not believe the attempts will succeed. If Adolin dies, I suspect it will be at the hands of a voidbringer or some other creature of Odium, on the field of battle.

    In truth, I suspect Adolin would be a suspect, but I have some doubts that he would ever be more than that. He would be a suspect simply because he has an obvious motive to want Sadeas dead, and no proper alibi whatsoever. This alone puts him pretty far up on the list of suspects, although there are certainly others who would be on the list with him. But it is unlikely that anybody would dare publicly accuse the third in line to the throne of Alethkar without incontrovertible evidence. There may be additional evidence which could potentially implicate Adolin, but I somewhat doubt the quality of forensics on Roshar... They probably can't find anything to properly nail him down for the murder. The only way I can forsee him being publicly found guilty of murder is if he admits it to someone / is overheard admitting it to someone who wouldn't turn him in. Which brings up another interesting topic. Because I would be somewhat surprised if Dalinar does not directly ask Adolin if he killed Sadeas in Oathbringer.

    I very much like the way this is going. I suspect this is precisely how magic systems work. Mind you, hacking to get a god metal would be tricky. In my understanding, the only known way to get a new god metal is for a shard to invest on Scadrial.

    I was reading the latest update on Sanderson's work... Looking at his entry at dragonsteel *cough Rothfuss cough*

    Granted. You are transformed into a massive maelstrom of energy. You are the size of a star, and burn with the intensity and power of a star... But instead of heat and light, you exude magic. Rather than being powered by the nuclear fusion of hydrogen, you are a manifestation of the very essence of energy. Anything that gets to close to you disintegrates into raw energy. Your distant light bestows unusually potent manifestations of magic upon all the planets in your orbit. Your bane is that, also like a star, you are inanimate, and not at all sentient. You are simply a colossally powerful burst of pure magical energy. A wholly unreasoning piece of the natural world. I wish for the return of all ten heralds in their full glory.

    I understood the consequences. Considering how many wishes are regrettable, I think such knowledge would make one that much wiser...
  16. DrakeMarshall
    The nightwatcher gazes at you in shock. A voice booms in your head, "NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!" Your wish is granted, and everyone expects the Spanish Inquisition. Then the Spanish Inquisition, knowing that it is expected, does not immediately show up. As time goes by people aren't sure when the Spanish Inquisition will appear, so they stop expecting its immanent arrival. Then the Spanish Inquisition unexpectedly arrives. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! I wish to know what I should wish for so that I would not regret wishing for it.
  17. DrakeMarshall
    Granted. Your boon is that there is no bane. Nothing happens. The nightwatcher is irritated that you wasted her time and slaps you across the face. I wish for a pet lifeless steel inquisitor (seriously though that sounds terrifying).
  18. DrakeMarshall
    Granted. The nightwatcher turns you into a kandra, and you may now fully control your transformations. As your bane, your wish has caused the deaths of two people who were used to make your spikes. I wish for truth.
  19. DrakeMarshall
    Granted. You meet Sazed... Because you died and he had a chat with you just before you passed into the great beyond. I wish for a babel squid. PS: Also I can't resist adding a second reply to one of these: Granted. The nightwatcher informs you that you will receive patience in 100 years time.
  20. DrakeMarshall
    So... I thought something similar once... But I'm pretty sure there's a WoB out there that states that a cognitive shadow is not connected to the bit in the spiritual realm.
  21. DrakeMarshall
    Granted. Anyone within a mile or so of you miraculously heals, but you sustain whatever ailments or injuries they had. Your bane is a boon... To other people. I wish for a babel fish.

    Seeing this thread title under the SA board was amazing. I don't think I have ever been as excited for an upcoming book as I am for this one. In fact, have some anticipation spren.
  23. DrakeMarshall
    The wording leaves the nightwatcher... Room for interpretation. *grins evilly*
  24. DrakeMarshall
    I will need to read AU before I can make intelligent commentary on what you just said. But yes, it is possible that solid ground is no impediment for spren. Maybe it even depends on the kind of spren...
  25. DrakeMarshall
    Well. I imagine it would certainly be more difficult for a cognitive shadow. Maybe possible, maybe not. What I wonder more about though is what happens to a bonded spren when their knight dies, but doesn't break their oaths? I am inclined to think that such a spren is not killed... Are they free to make another nahel bond with a new radiant? Does their bond maybe make them sapient enough to pass into the afterlife with their bonded radiant? Hard to say what happens... Yes, there's a rather fascinating theory about this. There are some pretty good reasons to believe that Odium (or unmade) actually is meeting people on the way to the beyond... And keeping them from properly entering the afterlife for some reason (torture may well factor into it, but I doubt it is the sole reason). I imagine that if Odium is defeated, all the people who are being withheld from the afterlife would be able to pass on normally. The Vorin teachings on the tranquilline halls may have some truth in them... Anyway... In regard to the OP... I like your idea that Rall Elorim is a spren city as well as a human city. It might well be... Although, actually... If land is sea and sea is land in the cognitive realm, wouldn't all the spren cities by on the ocean?
