That's not true. Friction, or lack thereof, would have nothing to do with limiting the fall damage she takes. If she lands on the angled surface, she would still take damage as a result of the vector of movement parallel to the surface's normal. Friction would just stop her from sliding forward and losing the vector of motion perpendicular to the fall damage one. Stormlight augmentation is what would save her in this case.

I agree. He's probably healing using a method we haven't seen before. That, or possibly he's hacked himself to the root of how all regeneration abilities work and can just consume investiture to heal himself without going through a specific mechanism inherent to a system, and perhaps regardless of the form of investiture. Also true, a number of his abilities, except for ones where we're told he has a specific magic, could be from other systems. The only exception to that is Perfect Pitch, since I'm fairly certain that's due to biochroma.

I see. I'm not going to ask how the mechanics of that work.

I was considering that as well. My guess is a metalmind or another investiture-storing object which he can either naturally tap, or has hacked in order to tap for investiture for healing. Otherwise, as you say he might've create a direct connection to a shard or a general investiture reservoir like the Dor or the Well of Ascenscion to draw investiture from that, but that honestly feels less likely.

How about "Ascend a shard", then sit back and watch the sword try to become a shardholder.

Brandon better have someone die to stick at some point in Cosmere.

True, but the same argument could be made about any of the other methods. In any case, even decapitated, there's enough oxygen in the brain to keep things running for several seconds though, so someone alert enough could start the process even after decapitation. Once they do, the regeneration would keep them conscious to continue it. Also, yes, they wouldn't be physically connected, but they would still be spiritually and cognitively connected, and that is what matters more in this case. The body would regrow the head since the soul would still be more attached to the body then the head, and chances are that the body is where the investiture is, such as a goldminds.

Very much so. Just add it to the list of things taken out of context on the Shard. We should make a list if it doesn't exist.

True. I never said it was common or possible though, just that they could do things like that, and that overall, abilities of regeneration are not uncommon. Yes, regeneration of that level is, but that's a different question. Also, Lopen getting near nothing doesn't mean much. The sphere was basically dun. Please don't bother with "cautiously disagree". Just point out that my statement cannot be easily generalized to every person with the abilities I listed and move on. I doubt he has anything extrapowerful. Regenerating the soul doesn't take much as Kaladin could do it. Also, I doubt he's invested enough to straight up stop a blade.

"Protect me" if I were being serious. "Break everything binding, material or immaterial" if I wanted to watch the world burn.

This power isn't that impressive actually. Gold feruchemy, stormlight augmentation (internalizing stormlight and using it to regenerate and refine), and binding of the surge of regrowth can all achieve similar effects. Considering how widespread variants on using investiture to regenerate physical and spiritual is, it's not that surprising he picked up at least one version throughout the millennia. Keep in mind though that these would not make someone truly immortal. None of these techniques prevent death from aging; doing so requires other changes to the spiritual which these do not do at a basic level.

I got that. The problem with your theory though is that by WoB, binding Odium was a side effect of the Oathpact, implying Odium being caught was not the reason it was made, at least, the intended reason.

The original desolations occurred far more often than every 4000 years. IIRC, it was something like less than 100 desolations total in one millennium.

This would imply though that the Honorblades were given to the Heralds independent of the Oathpact, which then makes the fact that they left the Honorblades as a mean to sunder their connection to the Oathpact illogical. Unless you're suggesting that at the same time the Oathpact was modified at that time to include the binding of Odium?

Nohadon wrote the book after the Desolation, and after he had rebuild civilization to a manageable level.

The spiritweb, or at least parts of it, are made out of investiture as well, called innate investiture. Nicrosil, as far as we've seen, stores innate investiture giving you the ability to use a manifestation of investiture (magic). Stormlight, allomantic power and probably feruchemical charge is kinetic investiture, which I doubt can be stored in nicrosil. I think breath is kinetic investiture as well, but there are other who don't see it that way.

Three months ago I started cuddling with someone I had been friends with for awhile (most of my life) while watching horror game playthroughs. It was kind of weird and nice and we haven't actually talked about it at all yet. No. Please explain.

I thought Taravangian was trying not to bring back the Voidbringers since doing so would destroy the world? Isn't that why he was trying to slow the aggression against the Parshendi and not push Kaladin to become a surgebinder since the Diagram indicated that that would push the Parshendi towards accepting a voidform.

Looks like a literal RAFO.

Himself, definitely. While he surely loves Mare and would love to be reunited with her again, as long as there are secrets to unravel in the Cosmere, he will remain as long as possible. There is also the issue that he is probably somewhat megalomaniac, on top of being psychopathic, and probably believes he can save the day.

He has the ability to affect the entire Greater Roshar System. My opinion is that he is invested in Roshar, but is forced to keep closer to Braize for the most part.

It's possible that Bavadin is dead though and that someone else holds Autonomy. Brandon did actually RAFO a question on whether Bavadin is alive during Mistborn Era 2 time.

Brandon has RAFOed whether Bavadin is still alive in Era 2 Mistborn period.

She has aspergers, so yes, she is on the spectrum. Good catch, it's something I didn't notice.

Okay. That clarifies things. The OP gave me the impression that you were trying to find specific places for where Adonalsium's investiture went after the Shattering. If I understand you correctly now, you're rather theorizing that the underpinnings of a number of the manifestations of investiture on the major shardworlds are in part due to the presence of Adonalsium's investiture augmented with a shard's power, versus just entirely the shard's power. Fair enough. I agree that this is possible. However, I can also agree that it isn't necessary to have a foundation of Adonalsium's power in order for a shard to create a manifestation of investiture. I would be interesting in seeing the summary of the draft theory.
