I think the closest confirmation is this:

You've said that Inquisitors could have children. Would those children have a better chance at being Allomancers compared to if they had the kids before they were Inquisitors?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, but there also could be...complications.

In an attempt to jailbreak A-Electrum, I would pair it with F-Nicrosil, F-Tin, or F-Chromium.

F-Nicrosil is just an attempt to build up the Investiture needed to get a proper glimpse of the Spiritual Realm so that I can see far into the future. 

As has been mentioned, it's possible to store Allomantic senses in a tinmind, so my hope would be that peering into the Spiritual Realm would qualify as something that tin can store. In that case, that would be another potential way to see farther into the future. Additionally, I think there could be a neat resonance with this combination, and I'd like to explore the possibilities that tin offers by pushing the definition of "sense" to its limit. 

A-Electrum and F-Chromium would mostly be for curiosity. Surely two abilities dealing in Fortune will have an interesting interaction and resonance. 

The black sphere is just an ordinary old stone.

The black sphere is Zekrom.

Are you a returned, because you sure look like it.

For some reason, this feels like an insult, at least to me, even though it isn't.

Wow. You've really thought this through, haven't you, @Evenstrom?

All right. Here's my theory:

Hoid is working for Trell.

Now, here are my reasons:

Hoid is on Scadrial at the same time as Trell is messing around. This is widely known. We also know that he was nearby when Nazh was trying to get a map. They are looking for something significant to Trell, and probably significant to other parties as well. Perhaps the map shows where to find a god metal, be it atium, lerasium, or harmonium.

We know that Hoid is willing to associate with the more... unpopular forces on a planet, such as the Skaze.

He and Kelsier do not get along. Hoid isn't helping Wax by informing him of Kelsier's recent activities; he is instead revealing Kelsier when he wants to be anonymous. This will somehow help Trell. Also, Wax will probably have a significant role in removing Trell. By always being aware of his activities (Hoid's been near Wax for a while), Hoid can inform Trell of when anything is happening. 

He says in WoR that he is willing to watch worlds burn in order to achieve his goals. We still don't know exactly what those goals are, but Trell could, perhaps, grant him power or resources to help him.

I just realized something that makes this theory even more possible (or, perhaps, disproves it, depending on how old "old" is in this quote).

From the Second Letter:

And do you no longer hide behind the name of your old master?

Need I say more?

I would make a stick.

And the Terminator, of course.

This is all in the Diagram. Taravangian wins.

Szeth. Now, he and Dalinar would be on more equal footing than last time, but I still think Szeth would win.

I'm not sure if David's weakness is still water. For some reason, I feel as if a weakness change is insinuated in the book. Maybe not.

Anyway, I wonder if David can move faster than Obliteration can teleport...

Koloss, because at least I won't be killed in the process, just twisted into something beyond recognition. 

Would you rather have a pet chasmfiend or five pet whitespines?

In Soviet Roshar, highstorms come from the north!

In Soviet Roshar, the wind runs on YOU!

The Ryshadium ride YOU!

Horns eat the Horneaters!

As a side note, this is the Soviet Archive, not the Stormlight Archive!

Primary: I have perfect control over my body, both the way it sounds and through a form of telekinesis. This ability even affects parts of my body that are no longer attached to me. This gives me limited shapeshifting abilities, super healing (which makes this a Prime Invincibility), flight, the ability to push my body to superhuman levels (strength, speed, etc), and the ability to, say, grow bone spikes from my body and stab everyone. It's really messed up.

Secondary: I can breathe when I shouldn't be able to, just in case my healing can't cover that.

Weakness: Jump scares. But only if I'm not expecting it.

Name: Flesh and Blood (because my skeleton is busy killing people, get it?)

Evil: I have a few copies of my skeleton lying around, and I tend to have them go on rampages in the more... rebellious parts of my city.

Costume: Whenever I go out, I grow bone armor all over my body, with a sword to go with it.

What if Nightblood doesn't grant Surges, but instead grants other powers, completely unique on Roshar?

And, @marianmi, have you seen this WoB? If I misunderstood what you meant by saying only honor-derived spren grant Surges, sorry.

This may be a spoiler, so here you go.

If medallion production becomes cheap enough, then companies could just hire a whole bunch regular people, give them medallions and have them to do the repetitive work required.

Or, depending on the cost, ettmetal-fueled machines make it so that little human interference is needed.

I'll feed you to a chasmfiend, right after using Hemalurgy to turn you into a creature that will forever lie in the chasmfiend's stomach, doomed to an eternity on cleanup duty. Well, until some silly Shardbearer kills the chasmfiend. Then you'll die.

Well, we were arguing that it makes more sense for Odium to take control of chasmfiends via spren (like he seems to be taking control over parshendi), than to have controlled parshendi taking control of chasmfiends.

And then each chasmfiend would control a horde of chulls, each of which controls a whitespine. 

I myself really think that all greatshells will be turned into Voidbringers. Even whitespines, which might turn out to be scarier than chasmfiends. Heck, skyeels might turn evil too.

How about robotics? If anything would be a massive game changer on Scadrial...

Ah, yes, this idea again (one of my favorites).

Just imagine: Terminators made out of aluminum.

@Spoolofwhool, I can't think of any reason why you would be wrong, and I think your theory has merit. This could even work with the idea I believe, that both powers must be used at once (at least for Twinborn) in order to activate the effect. If the minor crack actually connects the two major ones, then when Investiture flows through the two major cracks, some will also flow through the minor one.

I'm interested in the Willshapers, both due to their powers, and because they kind of remind me of Wit for some reason (possibly by being erratic).

Wax. He's a great character (as he  should be, since he's a main character), and he can just fly above TenSoon, increase his weight, and crush him, which would cause TenSoon some problems.

@Vindicator, I myself think that the perk is activated when both powers are used at once, making Twinborn perks different from most KR perks. After all,

asks Wax what happens when he uses both powers at once, right? And there's the possibility of Miles "alloying" himself with his gold shadows by tapping health while burning gold (this is said in a thread somewhere).

@Vindicator, have you read the Ars Arcanum of SoS/BoM? Near the end, it says Twinborn get the two powers, and an effect. They also get to specialize, of course, but @Yata is right. Being Twinborn is more than the sum of its parts, I suppose.

Take Feruchemy, for example. The entire magic system is the result of two gods' Investitures mingling. This happens on a far smaller scale for every Twinborn combination. They get a mini-power, or something like that.

That sketch though! 

Okay, I was missing the mouth. That made it all clearer. Thanks, and have an upvote for your time.

No problem.

Has anyone else seen any faces?

Suddenly, an Inquisitor or Koloss doesn't seem that tough when a Terminator can do a better job.

I can attest to that. 

Look at the caption under my name (for lazy people, it says "Aluminum Cyborg"). That would strike fear into the heart of any Metalborn, shortly followed by a spike.
