Of course it's canonical! It was written by Brandon!

Especially since that was what happened when a Divine Breath was transferred between Returned.

Yes. I'm saying that syl is, as it were, genus Honorspren and species protectionspren, shallan's spren are genus Honorspren species truthspren, etc.

I actually think Brandon deals better with sex than 99.99% of fantasy writers, including Jordan. It's a great relief to see characters with a little self-control.

That's called Synesthesia. Read The Name Of This Book Is Secret.

I would say that Awakening is end-neutral in much the same way as Feruchemy. That is, i think awakening pairs an end-negative action (giving up Breath) with an end-positive (Breath gives Awakened object extra energy).

There will be fewer Allomancers, but more of them will be Mistborn. As we see in AoL, full interbreeding produces a lot of Mistings but no Mistborn.

I think that the Skaa/noble segregation was also intended to keep Allomancy from becoming too diluted, since he wanted to keep the Mistborn around.

but she didn't

Worse. Any non-allomantic pewter will work worse.

We seem to be talking past each other a bit. I am saying that High Imperial is like Latin as opposed to being like Ancient Egyptian. You seem to be saying that High Imperial is like Latin as opposed to being like English or French.

I know all that. My point was merely that High Imperial is a language that people speak, read, and write in AoL times.

So the mistwraith

Spanreeds use Rubies, so that would be the Fourth Surge, not the tenth.

Szeth also says that the change is "a unique effect of his particular weapon". I know several people have theorized that Szeth's Blade is not an ordinary Shardblade, so it's possible that his is the only one to do that.

I am going to bring up the issue of languages. We know that there are at least two languages in AoL times (High Imperial and Common), but are there any others?

Technically, Mormons are what I would call "demi-Christians" (People who retain some Christian ideas and knowledge but are lethally wrong on the important issues.) EDIT: Goradel seems to have misunderstood what I meant by important issues. In this case, "important issues" refers roughly to those things covered by the Apostle's and Nicene creeds (there is one triune god, creator of all things; we have sinned against that God and are justly deserving of eternal damnation; the second person of God, Jesus Christ, came to Earth, was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, died, rose again on the third day, and ascended into heaven; and by his death and resurrection he has redeemed some of us for himself, to be brought with him to heaven.) If you disagree with any of that, you definitely are not a Christian.

All matter is , so that doesn't prove anything either way.

Five Kingdoms, not five races. Besides, Veden and Kharbanthian have no discernible alterations.

Part 2. Suddenly, a shot rang out! There was a spray of noise, dust, and blood as hundreds of bullets seemed to strike at once, ramming into everything from the ground to the walls to the windows to the soldiers. Several soldiers fell, but, amazingly, none of the bullets hit any member of the crew. Thank you, Lord Kelsier, thought Syl. The volley of bullets was the last straw. The soldiers broke and ran off for the edge of the bubble. The Crew was happy to let them go. There was a sort of explosion of darkness as night abruptly fell. Though there was enough illumination to see, it was still quite dim. After a few tense minutes, the sun blossomed again on the horizon, shooting up into the sky like a bottle rocket. Abruptly, thick, purplish smoke began to billow up from near the edge of the speed-bubble. “Throughing of the poke of tubes,” reported Eagle. “Now what?” inquired Varsk. “We wait until the last possible moment, I drop my bubble, and we jump out,” replied Syl, fingering the glowing crystal disk in her pocket. When the disk was broken, the runes inscribed on it would instantly translate her and her fellows to a van a few blocks away, where two allies waited to drive them out. “We can get at least fifteen more minutes in here,” Syl continued. “Fifteen minutes of our time makes over a day of theirs.” The Crew quickly locked and sealed the doors and windows, and retreated to the center of the place. There they waited. Minute after minute ticked by, with apparently nothing happening. Finally, thick wisps of purple smoke began to trickle in through the doors. “Now!” yelled Syl. The others grabbed onto her as she extinguished her cadmium. She grabbed the fragile disk and smashed it with the hilt of a dagger. With a blinding flash, the Dor leapt out and wrenched space. Syl and her crew rematerialized in the back of a truck. With a screech, the gray figure in the front gunned the engine, and the crew raced away towards their safehouse. A voice whispered in the back of Syl's mind. Well done, my good and faithful servant

I would sort of agree with you. I think that laying down the Blades and Plate was itself a breaking of the Oaths, in that it renounced the powers and duties the Shards originally represented.

Since everybody's ignoring this:

Grabbed your pic!

I said similar, not identical. Jasnah, Dalinar, and Elokhar were all raised Honorably, and thus have all developed Honorable personalities and attracted honorspren.
