Why the page format? True, that can work but I don't think it would be cheap. The medallions are expensive, paying lots of people to act as storing batteries all day long (I mean A LOT because you don't have compounding, you have to store 1:1 people will use - for every person tapping a metalmind you have to have a new person storing in it), providing infrastructure covering the entire city - all of this would be rusty expensive. Very expensive. You would have to equip the entire population in medallions. I can't see it working on a state level, but on a much smaller, something like company level it might work. I can see a private company offering services like this to boost your efficiency.

I think you assume that if Gavilar's Stormfather is Dalinar's Stormfather then the Stormfather must constantly lie about everything. I don't agree. Even in the prologue we see that the Stormfather has said many things that are true (like about BOM). With Dalinar's Oaths the Stormfather was mostly truthful - he doesn't want to make new Heralds because this is pointless now, the True Desolation has come. Dalinar's Oaths aren't misled. OR that was his real intention. But yes, this can be a lie he told to Gavilar. I disagree. Honor is about bonds not truth or lies. Honorspren Sekeir acted really "unhonorable" - imprisoning Kelek and Shallan, lying and misleading about Kelek's state, taking up Kelek's place, using Maya in such a heartless way - surprisingly it's not against Honorspren nature, they were even thinking of switching sides to Odium. This is STILL of Honor, because Honor is not about truth or lies, he's about bonds and oaths. And there is another possibility - the Stormfather lied to cover up some deeper truth. For example the true nature of Honor (why he allow Odium to settle on Roshar in the first place), the nature of gods swapping place during the First Desolation, the deeper nature of Recreance (which he refused to answer in until it was revealed) etc. He lied either to hide something bigger, or he had his own goals he wanted to achieve with Gavilar - plans that failed spectacularly when a Herald died and the True Desolation started. Or maybe in the Stormfather's eyes things he said weren't lies? It doesn't work like that. Look again at the WoB in previous post: "For instance, whether or not Kaladin is keeping an oath is up to what Syl and Kaladin think is keeping that oath. It is not related to capital-T Truth, what is actually keeping the oath. Two windrunners can disagree on whether an oath has been kept or not." If they both agree about the words spoken, there is no problem, the Oath is valid, even if the Stormfather is just a mask he wears. Was it because the Stormfather directly said it to him, or Gavilar assumed that was the truth based on his religious beliefs? The Stormfather didn't talk about Aharietiam in the prologue. I do not just trust, I see similarities, the same behavior, the same actions. I see too many holes in the Stormfaker theory. For me it doesn't work. It's far more likely that those Stormfathers are the same, that can and sometimes did lie. Sometimes, not all the time. By saying Gavilar wrongly assumes too much for what he doesn't know. Was the Stormfather always lying if it was mostly in Gavilar's mind? That's the problem. That's why I don't believe in what Gavilar thinks the Stormfather told him. He's too prideful, too full of himself, too self-centered and manipulative. He manipulates everyone around him, including the Stormfather - it makes sense that this kind of person would wrongly assume when faced with unknown and extrapolate from slivers of information provided by the Stromfather. But the Stormfather did lie, omit and manipulate Gavilar too. They were both trying to play each other. That's not true. Oaths are bigger than words for Shards. We have an example of this: I don't know but I can think of several. He might have lied to Gavilar to prevent the True Desolation from coming by making Gavilar into a Herald. He might lie to Dalinar to hide some bigger truth about why Honor allowed Odium to settle on Roshar, why he imprisoned him on Roshar, why the swap of gods happened during the First Desolation or some other stuff. Or he might simply lie to Dalinar to hide his mistakes and his role in all of this. That's why this idea is so intriguing for me because we don't know what the Stormfather's true intentions are. I don't believe he is malicious, but he certainly has or had some other goal in mind. Wrong. First of all you're confusing a physical manifestation with more or less Spiritual "vision," let's call it that for a lack of better words. To open an Oathgate you need a physical Shard in your hand, that pulling him fully into the Physical Realm IS painful for the Stormfather. To appear as a Shimmering in the air you don't need that - all spren appear in their form without being fully pulled into the PR. Secondly the Stormfather DID appear in the same form for Dalinar as well, for example in RoW ch 107: Disagree. Why and how would he know that before being with Gavilar? He can't read minds, he doesn't know people, he can only see their glimpses during each Highstorm. He admitted later that he had made a mistake by choosing Gavilar. I don't believe or suggest that the Stormfather is constantly lying to Dalinar. I think he is mostly truthful with him, but there might be a few moments when he has lied - one was during OB ch 38, when he told Dalinar that no other Herald has died since Aharietiam and that Taln has broken, which we now know was a lie. We already can find an example of the Stormfather lying to Dalinar. Why did he lie about this? I think it was just to hide his failure with whatever he planned to do with Gavilar. He wasn't ready for this, he miscalculated and blamed himself, trying to hide this. Which is something he already tried to do by sending a Highstorm at the end of WoR, WoR ch 86:

It's the same. For the same reasons Inquisitors see without constantly burning iron/steel. It's the nature of Hemalurgy, it changes the body with each spike and a spike in the eye changes your sight to see in steelsight. He isn't a Mistborn anymore, Lerasium won't work on him - that's true (probably because that's not his real body, he is "possessing" a Mistwraith). In my opinion his spike holds no powers, it only pins his spirit to his body (almost his words). HoA ch 41: TLM epilogue 4:

Kelsier has that. TLM epilogue 4:

Honor isn't about truth but about BONDS. Even two Honorspren can disagree if a bond is kept or not. Splinters can have intent separate from Shardic intent. But how did the Stormfather lie to Gavilar? The weirdest thing was all this talk about making Gavilar into a Herald, which may or may not be true - this can be a lie. What else? I don't trust Gavilar's thoughts about something that the Stormfather has told him in the past. I think that it was Gavilar who kept assuming wrong things in his pride, while the Stormfather at most encouraged him in this belief by omitting the truth by staying silent. For example Gavilar probably never asked the Stormfather if Kalak is really a Herald - he assumed missguided by his religious belief, that Kalak can't be a Herald because they aren't on Roshar. Gavilar had no reason to ask about that because he knew it's impossible. Another example, confirmed in text - Gavilar assumed that it was Taln who acted against the Oathpact because he didn't do what other Heralds did - we know Taln is the only one faithful to the Oathpact. Sure, the Stormfather wanting to make a new Herald is very weird, but most other things he said aren't that much off. In my opinion it was just Gavilar assuming things while the Stormfather was simply lying by omission. No, that's not a lie. But not breaking Oaths is different than telling a lie. What Oaths did the Stormfather forced onto people by misleading them? Dalinar? The Stormfather refused to be bonded at first - it seems like it was the very opposite and he misled people to prevent them from bonding with him. The Words Dalinar spoke were true, intentional and in line with the Order of Bondsmith, the Stormfather decided to accept those Words - I see no reason for them not to work. They both believed those Oaths were true and valid as per the WoB above. I don't understand you here. Which Oaths?

I'm not sure Shallan would be able to do that to a Herald partially bound by the Oathpact - Chana's soul would be still forced to Braize in my opinion, the Connection is there. But if you look at Shallan and Chana's relation and compared them to Returned, Warbreaker spoilers: I bet Shallan has something similar in her, a fragment of Chana's soul that took the form of Radiant. Yeah, that's probably the weakest part of this theory. I think Chana's breaking would still be needed to break - Taln returned before the Everstorm was summoned so Chana would have broken before that. As per previous Desolations, the Oathpact stopped Fused and Voidspren from immediately following Heralds, giving them time to prepare, but 80 days later the Everstorm was summoned allowing them to go around this restriction and now be unboundable by the Oathpact, because they don't return to Braize after death, but to the Everstorm. And it's possible that killing Chana was part of Odium's plan - Unmades were influencing Davar's house, it's possible it happened before Shallan killed her mother and they were all nudged by them to fulfill Odium's plan. Explained in OB ch 38: Even more, in OB and RoW we learned that Fused were slumbering on Braize and are slowly waking up as the Desolation is progressing - it seems they weren't ready for sudden return to Roshar.

This doesn't work for me, you can achieve the same things with lying Stormfather. Moreover Gavilar wasn't really on Dalinar's mind after WoR, when he finally resolved his guilt for not being able to save his brother. Since then he appeared here and there, but there isn't much in terms of internal conflict or struggle. Dalinar right now is more focused on the future and on his position as a leader - how to undermine it in a better way than with the realization that he was just a pawn and his position is based on lies? For me Gavilar seems to be all the result of his own actions and ambitions. He might have been manipulated by Stormfather (real or fake), but he also manipulated him for his own goals and ambitions. Even if his behavior was the result of the Stormfather's manipulation, then the emotional impact would be far greater if it was the real Stormfather - now you have an entity that manipulated both of them for unknown reasons, leading one of them to his death. The stakes are just so much higher than with Ishar as the culprit. But again, Gavilar in my opinion was just a crem on his own.

I think visions are true and don't have to be questioned. The Stormfather is a bit off, there is no doubt about it. However, that's one of the reasons why I think Gavilar's Stormfather is the same as Dalinar's - the Stormfather who lies offers far better opportunities for conflict and character growth. A Stormfaker won't change anything for Dalinar, lying Stormfather would change everything, their whole Bond would be based on lies, everything Dalinar relied upon would be based on lies, and there is also realization that he was played like a fiddle by an entity that has some ulterior motive. How would that affect Dalinar? What would he do with his Bond? How differently would Dalinar act after learning the truth? What's the truth? Why did the Stormfather lie? What did he want to achieve? Is this connected to the First Desolation, Recreance or Honor's death? Blaming Ishar for everything gives us nothing but a little bit of shock.

Adding more, if Shard's investiture were to be pushed into the Physical Realm, the results of it would be catastrophic. The Dor on Sel is already in the form of a deadly storm, vastly complicating traveling in and out of the system - that amount of investiture in the Physical Realm would be even more dangerous, likely rendering the entire planet inhospitable. But that didn't happen to Honor, his essence was not pushed into either the Physical or Cognitive Realm, it's still mostly in the Spiritual Realm. Some pieces of Splintered Honor are Spren (who are Splinters), but they've existed before Honor was Splintered, they alone weren't made because of Honor's death, they aren't that big part of it. The majority of it is still in the Spiritual Realm, Connected to the Stormfather who is a kind of Cognitive Shadow of Honor. So technically speaking, Stormfather is "Honor's corpse," but he isn't the whole of Honor's Splintered investiture, he is just Connected to some big pieces of Honor, which still are in the Spiritual Realm. Combining the nature of the Stormfather with the fact that there are so many Spren on Roshar, there is Stormlight in plentiful amounts circulating between realms and things like that, this is enough for that Splintered investiture of Honor in the Spiritual Realm not to go wild like the Dor on Sel went. OB ch 40: And here are some WoBs about the nature of the Dor - what Odium did to Devotion and Dominion isn't a normal thing:

The latter. OB ch 40, Mraize's letter to Shallan: That's either the person that was there when Shallan killed her mother, or some other person present in her mother's life - either way she was associated with Skybreakers (which suggests Nale knew) and Shallan's mother said "she's one of them," which implies she knew about Nale's reasons for killing Radiants and agreed with them (which suggests she knew Nale). From Coppermind:

I was mentioned here a few times. This is consistent with how Dalinar's Stormfather behaves. First he tells Dalinar at the end of WoR that he won't allow anyone to bond with him, and a few seconds later he accepts Dalinar's Words. Secondly he tells Kaladin in OB that he won't spare people in the storm, and a few moments later he guides Kaladin to Urithiru as a form of apology. With Dalinar in OB, when he visited Azir, he asked the Stromfather if he could speak their language, at first the Stormfather was vague about it, a second later he reluctantly told Dalinar how to do that step by step. In RoW he tells Dalinar not to try to push on him during Highstorm riddings, yet he's intrigued by Dalinar going against the winds when they've discovered Kaladin and the occupation of the Tower. This kind of behavior happens constantly, he tells one thing then shortly after goes against his own words. Or are they just the evidence that this is an alpha version that has not passed through continuity checks? The very first thing said by Brandon before the it starts is: Your explanation for this doesn't work - there is one person too many in SA5, it can't be explained by the Stormfather being weird. It's just a continuity error.

(Un)fortunately no, the Reckoners (and all books with Earth in them) are officially and definitely not a part of Cosmere in any way. They are their own, separate universes. Some concepts might look kind of similar, that might be a leftover from before Brandon decided that Earth can't be a part of Cosmere.

It will happen! Not now, we have to wait until Era 3 or even post Era 3 for all those things to come up, but we've seen the first of them appearing in TSM. That's just the beginning. Brandon and his team are working on that and eventually we will get those numbers. I will stop now before I throw even more WoBs on this topic. But yes, Brandon is keeping track of this, Brandon wants to standardize units, make sure everyone is using the correct amount of investiture and stuff like that. Even when Brandon is writing a fighting scene for Kaladin, there is Peter who makes sure that Kaladin has the correct number of spheres and Stormlight (there was WoB on that too) - those numbers are important for Brandon and they will be eventually known to us, in one way or another.

That's not related to Oathpact at all. Spren mimicked Honorblades and that surprised Honor because he didn't teach them and Heralds to do that. Sure, it was an oversight Honor didn't predict, but he had no way to stop that from happening in the first place. How else would you call him? He bound Surges, preventing people from accessing the most destructive forms of power, he bound Heralds with the Oathpact. He made sure that what happened on Ashyn won't happen on Roshar - allowing Ishar to retain his powers, the very powers that destroyed Ashyn, the very person who was the first to experiment with Surges and bears some responsibility for Ashyn destruction, seems irresponsible and counterproductive. He most likely knew that all along. A Shard has intuitive knowledge about their invested art. He would have known what Spren are capable of. He was surprised that they did that on their own. The wording of this event from Honor implies that he knew about this possibility, WoR ch 4: By this point Surges were already limited in what they could do. They were chained by Honor. Those chains are now gone or weakened, allowing people like Ishar and Dalinar to do things that weren’t possible in the past. It’s not the Radiants who were limited by this, it’s the Surges directly. Wild Surgebinders weren't a problem for Honor - it was Ishar's idea to bound Radiants with Orders and Ideals, Ishar did this. It looks like during Nohadon's times Radiants didn't exist yet and some problems with how those people use their powers were just discovered - like what Alakavish did, showed Surgebinders need to be limited and that's how Radaints were created. But all those powers were already chained by Honor shortly after the arrival of humanity, unable to do things that could cause destruction of Roshar on the scale of Ashyn. Was this negligence or sacrifice? Maybe he sacrificed himself to imprison Odium in the system forever? Or maybe Odium was simply stronger, but Honor did the best he could? I don't see any negligence here. Firstly Surges and Oathpact are unrelated. Secondly a Shard can't prevent people from accessing their invested art. Invested arts are part of the nature of Cosmere. They can tweak and limit some stuff, but invested arts are natural manifestations of Shard, they can't be fully contained. Honor could not have prevented Spren from bonding with people - they are autonomous, they can make their own choices. Honor could not have taken Spren's powers away from them - they are literal pieces of creation, they are made out of investiture, they are Surges. What you are proposing is not possible. Honor did the second best thing he could - he limited Surges in their use, preventing people from accessing the most dangerous aspects of them. Again, wild Surgebinders weren't a problem (for Honor) anymore because Surges were already chained by Honor. Of course. I meant different mainly in the way one acquires those powers - not though a Nahel Bond. A person that willingly bound Surgebinders into Orders to limit their destructive potential, a person that willingly sacrificed his life for an eternal torture to save Roshar form Odium, a person that opposed Odium after he was influenced by him to start experimenting with Surges, which led to the destruction of his home has all reasons to gave up his Ashynite powers, especially after he witnessed what those powers can do to the entire planet. Ishar likely wasn't a power-hungry individual with a god complex back then like he is now. He was a man good enough to bind himself to the Oathpact for eternity for the good of humanity. And the way the Stormfather talks about Ishar and his Bondsmith powers implies that only his Honorblade allows him to access them. If Ishar had Ashynite powers, the Stormfather would have known that and he would have warned Dalinar about them. He warned Dalinar about Ishar's powers only after he saw his Honorblade - he has Bondsmith powers because he has reclaimed his Honorblade. This suggest that Ishar has lost his Ashynite powers. RoW ch 111:

Liss doesn't have red hair, she has dark hair. It's less likely in my opinion. It's how her icon in the chapter arches is named. I don't remember that at all. Chana is a Herald of Common Man, but there is nothing about family on Coppermind. If something like this was said in books then it makes even more sense that Chana is Shallan's mother - she certainly wasn't very protective of her daughter, she tried to kill her. That would be her madness. That wasn't Liss doing, that was Jasnah. That doesn't say anything about Liss.

The Diagram that was founded AFTER Gavilar and Shallan's mother both died? Only after Gavilar died did Taravantian go to meet with the Nightwatcher, then some time has passed before he got his one day of ultra intelligence and then the Diagram was founded. Long after Shallan's mother was killed so they would have been unable to track her. Battar apparently approached Taravangian on her own and warned him about incoming Desolation. That's what Taravangian said. Is it though? A woman living a quiet life in the countryside with her husband and kids, in the area where red hairs are not rare at all, wouldn't be mistaken for a Herald. Ghostbloods. They have knowledge of Heralds, Kalak in particular. They were interested in Davar's house, that's how Shallan's father got the Soulcaster - maybe they were interested because Chana was there? However if Chana is Shallan's mother then she would have been far less valuable than Kalak, because she isn't searching for a way to leave Roshar, nor does she know where BAM is hidden - Kalak was there when BAM was trapped, Ghostbloods need Kalak not Chana. Yes, it's weird. But we know she was seen on pages at least once by at least one character - I wrote it in the spoiler box, not sure if you saw this WoB. I also wrote there that the only other Herald that we know even less about is Vedel. That can mean many things. That doesn't make sense. If she had flown completely under the radar we wouldn't have had any indications about her whereabouts - and that's the case with Chana. But If Chana is Shallan's mother then Nale and some of his Skybreakers knew (that's one secret organization) and potentially Ghostbloods too (that's another one that knew). But just because they knew doesn't mean we as readers have to know - we don't have any reliable narrators from those factions. Mraize suggested to Shallan that he knows a lot about her childhood - too much. It makes sense that he knows that because he was observing them because Chana was there. Accept the truth! It's time for you to say your next Truth as a Lightweaver

It's both! No, Heralds don't feel each other's deaths, only permanent deaths like when Jez died. This was shown to us in WoK Prelude - Kalak didn't know who had died, just like others weren't sure if he had survived. Deaths resulting in returning to Braize aren't felt by Heralds. You mean the Sons of Honor who believed Heralds are in the Tranquiline Halls fighting with Voidbringers? Those Sons of Honor who wanted to cause another Desolation to force Heralds to come back to Roshar to make the Vorin church in power again? They would have outright dismissed any possibility of Heralds' presence on Roshar. Kalak might have known something - or not. They don't have to know or care where others are. They've promised not to look for each other during the Last Desolation. Shallan just got to talk with Kalak and that happened off page - if he knew it would be a topic of the next book. And you know, there was an acolyte Skybreaker with Shallan's mother, it's likely Nale knew. A Herald was laying drunk all day right outside of the Kholinar palace and nobody noticed or even cared about him. 99.99% of the Rosharan population believed Heralds aren't on Roshar, they wouldn't have looked for them among their neighbors. Have you read SA 5 Prologue?

Yes and yes.

Ok, right, my mistake. If she compounds she is gaining more. But if she has only F-Bendalloy she is getting the same amount. Bendalloy compounding is very useful for her. She can't really eat when she fights, she has to take a break and find some food and we've seen her doing that many times in books. With Bendalloy compounding she practically has an infinite amount of Lifelight at her disposal.

No, she wouldn't get more, she would get the same amount of investiture. The amount of calories stored in a metalmind will be the same as the amount of calories Lift would get from eating the same amount of food. That means both would provide the same amount of investiture. In both cases the investiture is coming from your body - form food. The reason why you get more investiture from compounding Feruchemy with Allomancy is that Feruchemy deals with less investiture than Allomancy. You can only store so much as your body has, while in Allomancy you are drawing from an external source and you are unrestricted by your body. That's why you get more while compounding, the amount of attribute stored in 1 gram of metal is less than the amount of investiture you can get from that 1 gram from Spiritual Realm by burning it. I'm not sure if I would call Lift with A-Bendalloy compounding. Kind of?

I think you can't drain color from a fresh, running blood, it has to be dried and clotted blood. It wasn't specifically said in Warbreaker, but in my mind it makes sense. Fresh blood that is just leaving your body might still be considered to be alive. Vasher was being tortured for hours, there was a lot of time for the blood to clot and dry, becoming viable for Awakening. But again, it wasn't specifically said in Warbreaker. If that's the case you can't use that tactic, you need to wait which is just more inconvenient than a bag of colorful handkerchiefs. Warbreaker ch 56: True, becoming an octopus would be fun.

As said by Treamayne, Veil was created by Shallan when she was a child, to cover up the truth that she killed her spren. Once the truth was uncovered and Shallan was strong enough to acknowledge that, she was no longer needed and was absorbed. I bet the same is with Radiant. She was made by Shallan as a child, to cover up even a deeper truth - there are still holes in Shallan's memory and Radiant agreed to be absorbed once they find a proper way to do that. RoW ch 115: Radiant didn't kill Ialai to fulfill Mraize's wishes, she did it for Shallan's wellbeing. She saw what this life of lies is doing to Shallan, she saw Shallan was going to kill Ialai at that moment and she took over. She did it to save Shallan from consequences of becoming Mraize's knife and a Ghostblood. She didn't do that for control, or for any malicious reasons - she did it to protect Shallan. Just like Veil was made to protect Shallan, so did Radiant. RoW ch 93: We also saw that Radiant was wearing a Shardplate during the Battle of Thaylen Field in Oathbringer. This suggests two things: one is that Shallan was at least at 4th Ideal in her bond with Testament (which is also suggested by the words with which Shallan broke her bond with Testament), second is that Radiant was made all the way back when she was a child. Radiant represents Shallan's past, she represents Shallan being a Knight Radiant as a child. OB ch 120: I wouldn't say that Shallan and Veil worked well together - in OB Veil was forcefully taking over and was "bleeding" through Shallan in random moments, like when she was drawing. They had a lot of problems together which they eventually "resolved" at the end of the book. On the other hand in RoW it was Shallan who was either hiding because she couldn't bare the pain and emotional damage accumulating over the years, or lastly it was Shallan who brutally took control, shoving both Veil and Radiant in the back of her mind, willing to kill Kelek to escape the pain. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar were to happen in KoWT between Shallan and Radiant, I don't think it would be because Radiant has some malicious intentions, it might be because Shallan will once again try to hide or run away from the last truth and Radiant will be forced to take over to push Shallan towards pain and towards the truth. But as I've said, we already had that in OB and RoW, I think that it would be better for Shallan and Radiant to cooperate together well, to show that Shallan is improving and is making progress. Shallan's mental state is far from ideal, she has dissociative identity disorder. Shallan can be like Jasnah, we saw this in WoR after her ship sank and she was stranded alone. When Shallan met Tvlakv, she behaved like Jasnah and took full control over Tvlakv's caravan. Radiant is Shallan's alter, Radiant came from Shallan. But Radiant is guarding the truth much deeper than Testament, the truth about Shallan's mother - that Shallan not only killed her mother, she killed a Herald who was her mother and by doing so, she caused the True Desolation. That's why Shallan didn't absorb Radiant with Veil.

No, there are none - only Allomantic pulses detectable by A-bronze are indicating that someone is burning metals. But visually nothing is happening except for coins flying.

We don't know if Ishar is still an Ashynite Bondsmith. Honor might have taken that away from him, because Honor didn't want the disaster from Ashyn to be repeated on Roshar as well - that's why he chained Surges in the first place. Moreover, Ashynite Surgebinding isn't the same as Rosharan Surgebinding - in this case the name Surgebinding simply means invested art, it doesn't mean they are similar in the way one obtains them, or in the way they work. We know Ashynite powers are Cultivation-based, they are granted by illnesses - you get ill, you get powers, you get rid of your illness, you lose them. But that's how they work now, we know that the destruction of Ashyn changed the way those powers work in some way, but we don't know anything more than that. I think Ishar lost his powers after becoming a Herald - he became a Cognitive Shadow, a highly invested entity immune to diseases - he can't have Ashynite powers when he is that invested, just like Returned have immunity to diseases. Combining this with the fact that he reclaimed his Honorblade at most a year before RoW, he couldn't have hijacked Gavilar's Stormfather, he had no powers to do that. But that's assuming Ashynite powers were disease-based before its destruction (which I think is reasonable). If not, I think Honor would have demanded to take those powers away from him before he became a Herald. Honor was too cautious to allow a wild Surgebinder to have powers that already destroyed one planet (and Ishar too that's why he bound Radiants into Orders with Oaths and restrictions, that's why he would have agreed to this).

Yes. Yes, if that's possible. I'm not sure it would be that easy. Yes. Yes. Yes. At least if we want to establish a general definition of Compounding, that can be applied to something else than just Feruchemy and Allomancy, similar to the Cosmere definition of Lightweaving and stuff like that. Another example might be burning an Awakened metal, however there are two conflicting WoBs on this (from the same day), so wo don't know how that would work:
