    I've gone from being able to eat metal and defy the laws of nature to watching people die. #thesestupidranks

    Liar, the first few chapters, are available on Brandon's website and here. that's all anyone has but because they're publicly available I believe referring to them has been ok here but I'm happy to be corrected. Fain life is canon because it was referred to by Khriss on AU. True the details of it from Liar aren't canon, they could be changed. But it's existence is canonized. Au spoilers

    Great work, thank you for helping out! I felt bad about the delay. So here is the link to the completed transcript, and I'm putting in spoilers below (for length) the text of it. Some great WoBs, maybe not quite as spectacular as the Germany event but some excellent questions. Thank you so much to everyone who helped out, particularly @swieczq and @strumienpola!! And please note that it isn't everything he said, there are time markers with very short summaries for those interested in the topic.

    I like the thinking behind this and it could connect with the theme of red being a mark of something..wrong. But my issue is that of damage left behind after the Shattering. We know there was huge damage by Ambition's splintering but that was an actual splintering. The power of that Shard was, for want of a better term, broken apart. Adonalsium's death could be the same but it feels more like a 'basic' death of a Vessel where the Shards were then unheld and picked up. When that happened at the end of Mistborn 1 there was nothing like the chaos left in the Threnody system. A Vessel dying and the Shard being picked up seems to have very different effects to the Shard itself being splintered, understandably. Of course the weapon used to kill Adonalsium may have done the kind of damage Splintering does, exponentially increased. It would just seem strange that the remaining Shards could be then picked up by humans if there was that kind of damage.

    Great work on the Warsaw work! I've been away for a few days so I haven't progressed it further. But I will try to knock through the rest in the next day or two, at least the WoBs. If anyone is able to help, incomplete transcript is here and audio is here.

    Maussies.

    Yeah I wasn't able to find any confirmation, only these I too am sure it can be done, but no confirmation and the fact Vasher hasn't figured it out yet makes me think noone has.

    Good questions @strumienpola. I agree with Argent, Nightblood is one system hacked to imitate another rather than its own system. We know there is only one negative system other than hemalurgy and we've seen only minor hints of it, my money is still on voidbinding. I'd be surprised if Cultivation is invested in Ashyn as we as good as know her Shardpool is in the Horneaters Peaks. I doubt you could have the pool on a different planet to that of the primary investiture but happy to be corrected. Oh and I feel division is unlikely to split the atom but can probably break the bonds between molecules instead?

    This may help

    Nice work! That makes sense with the Yolen one and I like the Shardpool one! Perhaps Odium?
  11. Extesian
    Nicely put together. I like it. I'm curious to see whether there are reasons it's a problem, or if it's been proposed before, but on first glance it's intriguing, makes some sense and is prime material for reasoned pattern-based speculation
  12. Extesian
    We got a WoB on this late last year So yeah its not a thing they can naturally do but obviously there are workarounds.

    I don't know if Adolin will revive his blade. But if he does my money is on the spren being named Maxal.

    I know right, this (di-)ode to circuitry won't even get past the first gate. We ought to semi-conduct ourselves better or this will get amplified to the point that it has serious (field-)effects.
  15. Extesian
    This one is not verbatim but helps
  16. Extesian
    Transistors are nothing but a silly con.
  17. Extesian
    This one And this one Both from the WoB treasure trove that was the December 6 Washington signing!
  18. Extesian
    Thanks, I've updated the settings for anyone to edit, hopefully that works? Let me know if not! I haven't had the chance to finish it yet so there may be a few missing WoBs amongst the signing lines I missed. And yeah I would be very surprised if there were no non-humans at the Shattering. If that were certain the only explanation would be that a non-human picked up a Shard after the Shattering either by one being left behind or by picking it up once an original Shardholder died. We've definitely been told there's at least one non-human Vessel. Interesting.
  19. Extesian
    It is possible but Brandon would really be doing some Aes Sedai-style trolling. It sounds pretty clear he's saying that's it's limits generally otherwise Hoid surely could have just done that. But I've seen more misleading WoBs before, bless him
  20. Extesian
    I should say that my theory has been debunked in two ways now. 1. We know that skin tone is basically luck. 2. We now know for certain that it is the sun itself that gives the investiture, not my idea about the atmosphere absorbing the sunlight and converting it. So thanks to @strumienpola and @swieczq for having the wisdom to ask questions that knocked that off
  21. Extesian
    Here's a brand new WoB from yesterday. I guess it really would have made it too powerful...
  22. Extesian
    I liked this idea @PallonianFire but there's a WoB from yesterday's signing on this (maybe it was asked in response to your theory). So it looks like a firm no on getting other powers. Interestingly it even sounds like it can't give feruchemical powers.
  23. Extesian
    For the next signing we'll have to do the recording by Direct Metal Mastering, with trusty copper.
  24. Extesian
    I believe @Oversleep is coordinating them? I'm happy to help out but haven't seen an audio (though I may have missed it). I just did this one coz @swieczq sent it through to me and I'm pretty fast when I have the time. I'll update the OP once the Warsaw ones are posted.
  25. Extesian
    I've done much of the transcribing for the krakow event, work is rudely interrupting but most of the rest is wading through the signing lines to find the few questions that were asked. I should finish it tonight but I'm putting the link up for anyone who wants to have a go. Please let me know if there are any issues with accessing it. And for people who were there it would be great if you check my transcription for your questions at least. Note I have mostly only done Cosmere ones so far. Transcript Highlights so far (spoilered for size) Thanks to @swieczq for the recording and @Oversleep for being @Oversleep I'll update the OP once it's all done.
