Actually it is two separate alloys. A stronger, harder, more brittle, less ductile, less tough alloy for the gun....well at least for the barrel and breach. A softer, less brittle, more ductile alloy for the bullet. If a rifle barrel and bullet are the same alloy, the rifling will be destroyed very quickly after being fired a few times and accuracy would quickly decrease. If both were the same alloy, it would have to be a smooth bore, and the only way to get high accuracy would be to use a discarding sabot bullet, and we have not seen any evidence of that for the aluminum guns. The coinshot and lurched painkiller rounds work on a similar physical design though.

Nice Schlock reference ... now we just need a Sluggly Freelance link.

It also helps avoid issues like dust particles impacting and the energy shift upwards in the EMR which would require radiation shielding.

I am just amazed none of his troops or Bridgemen Fragged Sadeas long before.

It is definitely Adolin! (Not really, but I couldn't let maxal's expectations down). @Toaster Retribution I remember some people asking questions about Nohodon still being alive and getting RAFO'd.

Haha, I see what you did there.

If I remember correctly, those 3 make up the glyphs for the various House Kholinar branches. Page 11 half way down, Harakes post here Yep! In fact Dalinar's glyphpair for "Kholin" is the Tower and Crown shown above, while Elhokar's is a Tower and Sword. We haven't seen what Elhokar's looks like, but I imagine you'd be able to tell the resemblance at a glance.

I am just waiting for the Listeners Song of Global Destruction and Genocide.....it will have the answers we seek. -
10 tiers of 18 floors each. I knew I had seen the number 18 before somewhere in Roshar, but I couldn't remember where. I just found it, Chasmfiends have 18 limbs. 14 legs and 4 arms. Anyone spot any other 18s?
-
Thanks I had not seen that one before.

I have a timeline in a word document...let me give it a review to make sure I didn't do anything stupid in it and I will post it tomorrow.

Radiated....that means straight line....give me a room with a glass floor and a soother below...then we can test it...heh.
-
Well in that case I think it just creates a "null" zone based off the shape of the hat...an Allomancer directly below might be able to influence....would make a great Brandon question really... If a soother or rioters radiates their intent, it should be a straight line function, so any aluminum in the path should stop it. Caps are not spherical only conical, so correctly positioned you should be able to avoid them.

I thought it was only climbing Wyndle...I will watch for it this reread.
-
I just see a Wolverine style expulsion of the metal as the body heals around the wound, surface pressure on the shrapnel increases. As the pressure increases the intruding object is forced out. Your way would only work if the aluminum had a field around it that everything in its range was nullified by.

Where Is Adonalsium’s Investiture? [AU Spoilers]

Yup was my thought too, but there is nothing to discount it. -
Where Is Adonalsium’s Investiture? [AU Spoilers]
FiveLate replied to Confused's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Actually, I was saying if Odium shattered them early enough, they might not have been invested enough in the planet to each have their own shard pool. It is like...If Ruin and Preservation had been merged before they had formed pools, would harmony only form 1? -
Lol it is interesting...yes...I can't figure out sometime why it even pulls a particular post.... for example I did a search for "bondsmiths truthwatchers cognitive realm" I got 68 pages. Some of them had none of those words in it? And I had selected all.

FiveLate replied to Confused's topic in Cosmere Discussion
D&D are both splintered and shoved into the cognitive realm. Speculation follows: The fact that one shard pool exists indicates there should be two. The shard pools would have have to form before the arrival of Odium most likely. OR The one and only shard pool formed from the Dor itself in Elantris for some reason. -
Smokestone is actually Smokey quartz..... I can't find were I read this I just remember it was by @WeiryWriter. So hopefully the tag will answer this.
