  1. It's a clever idea, but one that is most likely impossible. Read "Mistborn: Secret History" to find out why.

     

    (In case you have, here's why, contains spoilers:)

     

    Hoid stated that he cannot harm people in the physical realm before ever stealing a piece of lerasium from the Well of Ascension. This piece of lerasium is the only power-related connection we know he has to Preservation.

  2. I feel the same way about Adolin. His actions towards the end of WoR make me want to place him as a potential future villain (because Sanderson likes to try out new things), but if that doesn't happen, then I can see him making amends after a Rand-esque "soul-hardening period".

  3. Adonalsium is the Dark One.

     

    Turns out that "the Void" in WoT is actually the Cosmere. God damnation it Rand, now we had to kill Adonalsium. 

     

    By the by, are there any random or mysterious beggars, thieves etc. in WoT? Because if so, I call Hoid.

  4. It wouldn't be just those few hundred/few thousand Shardbearers against the koloss, though. Given that the KR had some time to prepare, I can imagine a strategy springing up to counter the koloss. Perhaps using Lightweavers to distract them, sending koloss falling into other koloss with gravitational Surges, the lines of Shardbearers supported by constant archer fire and resupplied with Stormlight...

     

    Tell you what, it won't be a roflstomp in favour of the koloss. They'll still probably win, but I can see Roshar being able to hold out at a defensible location for a long time. 

  5. Probably not infinite, then. Infinity would screw with a ton of stuff regardless.

     

    Regardless, the original question was about why Shards aren't concerned about losing their Investiture to the magicks performed by Invested people. The answer is, we don't know, but we speculate that the Investiture is just automatically returned to the Shard (or harvested by it).
