    How many Listeners escaped the Everstorm and did not assume Stormform? Not many in a concentrated area. Those that refused Eshonai were killed IIRC, or weren't left in a state to do much. The parshman wouldn't be able to resist the transformation of the Everstorm unless they're shielded from it I think. In any case, they wouldn't be of help either.

    This is true, and something I was thinking about when I wrote my answer. The question is whether the "breath sticking to Lifeless" phenomenon is because they're biological bodies, or because its stuck to the remnant cognitive still attached to the body. I can see a fairly good case for the latter, since while the former is the argument they used, it wasn't a great one. In that case, yes, it would be fairly probable that Nightblood's breath cannot be repossessed in any case, since it has developed its own cognitive which holds onto it.

    Basically, all Brandon said was that those words at the end were not his, but we basically knew that already.

    Best I found was this: Though I didn't look very hard. My opinion is that when a living entity dies, or anything holding a breath becomes too damaged to hold the breath, it just dissipated and returns to the general ambient investiture of Nalthis, to be endowed onto the next person born. Turning Nightblood back into a normal sword would require someone with its awakener's identity, whom I'm guessing is Shashara. Since she's dead, it wouldn't be very likely. There is however the possibility of two other methods: First, command breaking might do something in that regard. We don't know much about it, and all that we know that it can do is reassign lifeless commands. However, I'm thinking that advance applications could involve reassigning the awakener identity of an awakened object. Mistborn Era 2 spoilers

    There's a passage from the second book from his PoV where he is pushing on emotions. I don't have the book, but IIRC, it's near the end when they're meeting to discuss the approaching koloss. Might be useful as well. If I have a chance later, I'll take a look for it.

    There is still the fact that it seems fairly clear from WoB that the Evil is not a shard, and seems to be implied that it isn't related to a shard either. Could you rephrase the second sentence? At the moment it seems very redundant as obviously no shard opposed nor shattered Adonalsium since none existed at that time, unless you're referring to the original vessels when you say shard.
  7. Spoolofwhool
    WoB. While he doesn't specifically say so here, he appears to be agreeing with the questioner statement that it isn't, and is just, in some other ways, related to Adonalsium.

    Interesting idea. Someone did in fact ask Brandon if Miles had been affected by a Svrakiss at the end, which is what caused his "death-rattle". That was RAFOed. It is a good thought that the Evil caused the phenomenon of shades and is now on Scadrial. However, since the Evil is not shard-based, I don't think it is related to what is happening on Scadrial, since that is clearly shard-based.

    Definitely. Rowling's magic was the more generic type which fulfills plot devices. Sanderson will completely flesh out how luck will work and have it follow defined rules.

    You misunderstood when I said "more than prescience". I was carrying over from your suggestion of intuition and intelligence and meant "I don't think it's more intuition and intelligence than actual prescience." I'm not saying it's a complete prescience where he knows what is going to happen, but as you say, he knows, that at a specific location, something relevant to him will happen at some not entirely specific moment in the future, which is prescience. Intuition is a matter of understanding something without necessary reasoning for why it is understood, which isn't happening, in my opinion, which is why it is more prescience than intuition.
  11. Spoolofwhool
    More than luck, yes. If you're saying that it is more than an actual prescience, I'll have to disagree. I don't think Hoid is aware of what is happening on multiple worlds with enough detail that he could formulate an idea of which world would have a "novel-worthy" even happening next, and when, so that he could get there at the right time. As such, it seems to me that it is more likely that he is actually, in some part, achieving a prescience.
  12. Spoolofwhool
    Watched. Slow at the start so it took me two times to get to the good second part. Overall an excellent anime.
  13. Spoolofwhool
    I know. I just thought I put forward a thorough analysis of why it's incorrect. I totally get what you're going for though, and mc Adolin would be sweet.
  14. Spoolofwhool
    Brandon likes to be vague and the such to keep things interesting for us. However, I don't think he would blatantly lie to us, just to pull a reversal like this. In addition, if he did do something like that, then it would just take away any credibility for anything he says, since he would've established a precedent for "I'll intentionally lie just so I can pull off a reversal later on," which would be terrible. While what you're suggesting isn't quite making what he has said to us a lie in entirety, it is close enough that I severely doubt it likelihood, at least with regards to Adolin being the main character. Renarin dying and Adolin going to the Nightwatcher isn't something I would stay is as unlikely, though I don't really see it happening.
  15. Spoolofwhool
    As far as I am aware, what VT said in that post is a theory and has not been corroborated by anything canon.
  16. Spoolofwhool
    Don't forget that the 16 shards which currently exist are not the only way that Adonalsium could'be shattered. WoB seems to be implying that there could've been other intents which had resulted, and that other attributes could've been imbued into the shards instead of those currently in existence.
  17. Spoolofwhool
    This one? Seems to be saying that they were attacked after the betrayal; after they gave up their oaths.
  18. Spoolofwhool
    Interesting thought. It seems more likely that to me that Odium's rage is still focused on freeing himself. I don't think though that Odium will ever come across as being a sympathetic character, definitely not to those who are Cosmere-aware and know he's a selfish man who is killing his former comrades to be the most powerful, but not even to those who just read SA. Good people, from a general reader's perspective, do not destroy non-relevant civilizations because they're angry. They just go after the bad guy and break him. I'm not saying it's impossible, and it would have to be brilliant twist, which I believe Brandon is capable of, but I just don't think it is likely. It is interesting though that in some sense, from what we know from Brandon, Odium is already a sympathetic character. The reason he hates and destroys other shards is because he fears for his own destruction by a greater power. If I read deeper, I can see a selfish person who's insecure about their self-worth. The intent of Odium might've given that insecurity the push it needed to start lashing out at those around. I don't know, just an interesting thought which crossed my mind while I was responding and reading some WoBs.
  19. Spoolofwhool
    That's a very interesting thought. I'm guessing you're thinking that what is causing Odium's hatred is more than just be bound by the oathpact and perhaps being forced to invest into a world, something he has avoided previously?
  20. Spoolofwhool
    The Oathpact was made between Honor and the Heralds. I don't think at its inception it involved Odium at all, since binding Odium was just a side effect of it. I admit it's possible that it has changed since Odium's appearance, but I don't think significantly.
  21. Spoolofwhool
    I DON'T KNOW, BUT I APPROVE!
  22. Spoolofwhool
    My feelings right now.
  23. Spoolofwhool
    That is an issue with the theory. While it is true that honour is relative to a person, and there could be someone who finds it honourable to sacrifice people for some reason, by all accounts, Honor cared for the Rosharans, and wanted to protect them. In his last vision, he seems to be feeling some guilt over the fact that he lost to Odium, and that he was abandoning them. As such, as you say, the intent of the shard, which he would be feeling to probably around the same degree as Ati or Leras by Mistborn or more, would prevent him from doing something he perceived as dishonourable.
  24. Spoolofwhool
    This is true. I revisited what was actually said about Command Breaking and it turns out that 8th Heightening just grants the ability to instinctively override commands. This implies to me that it is then possible to do so without the 8th heightening. So the Command Breaking procedure that the 8th Heightening gives instinctively, but at a lower heightening, which probably involves learning the process manually.

    Based on what I have heard about SH and the Coppermind, I was under the impression that the Ire were from Sel.
