  1. Haven't read BoM in a while, but didn't to move so fast she left a vaccum in space? I'd wager a guess that doing that goes past any barriers air resistance would create. Then again, I'm not a scientist, so I'm probably wrong. Edit: spelling
  2. There is a WoB that Adonalsium was shattered by a "weapon". Take that as you will, but it clearly took something more than simple knowledge to Shatter it.
  3. Honestly, it would simply come down to how skilled the Mistborn is in the Emotional Metals and if he/she has Dulramin (remember what Vin did to Straff?) I believe a lot of people severely underestimate how effective Brass and Zinc can be...
  4. Pretty sure we have a WoB that the Recreance took place before Honor was Splintered
  5. Fair point. Maybe he's not a Sliver, but I still think his shadow came from him wielding an Honorblade for so long. (And I know Nale has been using an Honorblade for way longer, but his was designed for him. Szeths was meant for someone else)
  6. I think it is due to 2 things: 1) We are repeatedly reminded that Lift is more in the Cognitive Realm than most people are and 2) Since Szeth held an Honorblade for so long, he became a Sliver (albeit a small one compared to others) Basically, Lift, and ONLY Lift can see his Cognitive self.....Though come to think of it, why does it leave an afterimage instead of just making him glow? Not really sure, but it looks a lot like a reverse Atium shadow....
  7. Pretty sure theres a WoB that he was seeing the Spiritual Realm...
  8. In terms of the Shard, Khriss explicitly states that It's at the introduction to the Threnodite System right before SfSinFoH.
  9. I see your point on the other things, but we have a WoB somewhere that the Skaze are evil and actively driving the Fjordell to become more violent.
  10. Because things are not ok - the magic system is so fragmented, there are FIVE distinct channels for the Dor... not to mention we have no idea what damage the Skaze are doing. In addition, a Splintered Shard leaves that world open for another Shard to manipulate (see how Ruin took advantage of Preservations weak state... and Preservation was still whole)
  11. Unless, of course She decides that picking up his Shard is the only way to stop it...otherwise, another vessel will just pick it up and the same thing will happen as Sel...
  12. Nice reference! That scene was the first time I realized how corrupting The One Ring could be....can't wait to see what happens!!!
  13. Wow! That's an awesome theory, and one I think will end up unfolding one way or another. However, I can't see Odium leaving Roshar; the harder it is to get something, the more frustrated you get, and the more your hatred for it grows (there's also a WOB where BS explains the difference b/n Ruin and Odium: If both had to get through a door, Ruin would destroy the door, while Odium would simply keep hitting the door until it broke over time). I don't see a scenario where Odium leaves Roshar without being merged with another Shard. But an Odium/Cultivation combo is terrifying! (quick thought.....what if the Odium/Cultivation shard resurrected Honor, and absorbed it as well? With the power of 2 shards, maybe the Cultivation side could "regrow" Honor, and w/o a vessel, merge with O/C to turn into... something unpredictable) another thought: I believe as we continue through time, more and more Shards will be converging, and the larger the numbers grow, the closer they get to the original Adonalsium (Also, for those who are wondering how Odium would corrupt the other Shards, just look in WoR at how he changes the Parshendi Rhythms... Skepticism to Spite, Resolve to Ridicule, etc)
  14. I believe the answer can be found by looking at the other Feruchemical powers; they all require you to give something up, in order to use extra later. Therefore, I believe in order to store Luck, you must be unlucky for a time...which would imply Fortune. Let me explain - if it was alternating luck, then you could just sit in a room, Store Luck, and then proceed to flip a coin and always get the wrong call (ie. you want heads, so it's always going to be tails). This does not meld with the others - they require constant, unconscious usage (Storing Breath causes you to hyperventilate, Warmth for you to be cold, etc.) whereas with alternating luck, it can only be Stored when you do something. If it's the second type, however, the is always a way for the Cosmere to affect you (even if you lock yourself in a room, you can still not feel well, need to go to the bathroom etc. [Alternatively, you may find that while you were Storing Luck, your dog ran away or a loved one died....something along those lines.]) It all probably depends on how much you Stored in each sitting.
  15. The break b/n SA 5 and 6 will be around 15 years (can't find that source, but here's a link where he says the entire SA takes place over 20 years)
  16. But.....Why do the biggest, most difficult series (SA) first? And HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU FIT WAY OF KINGS INTO ONE MOVIE!?!?!?!!?
  17. When have we seen it being used?
  18. I meant can she store the newly-converted Investiture in the Nicrosilmind? Or would she have to use it immediately?
  19. If you gave Lift an unkeyed Nourishment metalmind, could she fill it and then Tap it later for Investiture? What if you gave her an unkeyed Nicrosilmind - could she eat and fill it with food? Also, do we know if she can eat in addition to Breathing in Stormlight, or instead of? Fun question: Who would eat more at an all-you-can-eat restaurant; Sarene or Lift?
  20. Hate to rain on your parade, but thers a WoB out there that specifies that "ANYONE can pick up a shard" ( Emphasis NOT mine)
  21. Except that you are forgetting that Atium and Lerasium are not always opposites. Allomantic Lerasium makes someone a mistborn, or increases a mistborns power, while Atium lets them see other peoples future.
  22. Your first point reminded me of Nalthis. People who Return with powers are viewed as gods? Yeah, Kelsier might have visited once or twice....
  23. Maybe before he was using Feruchemy, but now that he's a Fullborn, he's Compounding, so its that much stronger?
  24. How do I move it (already entered password)?
  25. Do we know any instances where that we've seen a Feruchemist use Connection, Investiture, Fortune, or Determination? I'm guessing Hoid used them at some point, but don't have any proof :/
