No need for a spoiler box for TLM (it left the spoiler zone a year ago). But yes, a Feruchemist can use pure Dor to fuel his Feruchemy, just like an Allomancer can do that. You can do that with Mists, you can do that with liquid investiture etc - you need it to be keyed in the specific way for you to use it (for example unkeyed Dor). I wouldn't call it compounding however, because you don't compound powers, you are just using a different fuel. Vin using Mists to fuel Allomancy was not compounding, the same with Marasi and Metalborns trapped by Set. I would define Cosmere Compounding as using a different invested art to fuel another, mixing powers - you burn metals to get Feruchemical attributes. Dor is not an invested art, it's just investiture. I don't think you even have to store that attribute from your body while using Dor. Your intent alone should filter that investiture into the correct attribute. You would not need to use your body anymore if you were to have unkeyed Dor, or other types of external physical investiture. An Allomancer using Dor doesn't have to burn metals, investiture is shaped by their intent in that case - it happened to Vin while Ascending and to Metalborns trapped by Set. They didn't have metals, they just used Dor and later the Shardpool directly as fuels for their Allomancy. The same should work for Feruchemists, they don't even have to store or tap metalminds (they probably can), they can just turn that pure investiture directly into attributes they want.

It wasn't weight alone, it was also massive strength pressing on Dalinar's plate. By @Colors points are valid. But those were also my points - the best comparison on how a Shardplate would withstand someone taping a lot of mass, was shown by Dalinar catching the claw of a Chasmfiend - in both cases forces were enormous, but distributed over larger surface area, the Shardbearer would fall (just like Dalinar was bending) which means the energy of the impact would be spread in time, thus it would lessen damage done by it, the direction of the force applied also would not be ideal etc. All of those factors would allow a Shardplate to do its job and not break easily. But yeah, it's still possible to break a plate with this tactic, however it's simply too impractical and risky to even try that

No. Firstly there is no known metal that would allow you to store color, secondly you would have to store your body color and only it. That can be problematic. Color isn't really a problem when Awakening, I don't think there is a need for a Metalmind like this. The draining of color is actually changing something in the soul of an object and you can't drain a color from something that's alive (with very few Commands being an exception) - that means even if there was a metal like this, you might not be able to utilize stored color, because you would have to tap it, which would affect only your body, from which you can't drain colors. But there are something like 10^19000 possible god metal combinations, so who knows, maybe one of them allows you to store the color of your body.

Jokes aside, noodles are mentioned on some pages, like on Hoid, Taldain, or Kelsier's pages. There is no need for such a page because those WoBs belong to other places.

He did. Not once. AoL ch 19: SoS ch 2: Edit: The trick is not to punch, but use momentum and throw your entire body at something while increasing your mass. But a Shardplate can withstand a lot of force, we've seen Dalinar stopping the entire claw of a Chasmfiend. The force of the impact would be distributed over the large area of the plate, minimizing damage done to it. Not to mention you would be in range of the Shardblade, you are more likely to get killed first then to use this tactic effectively.

A-electrum already shows multiple split shadows for this reason. I don't think tapping F-zink would change anything because those shadows already show you shadows, which are the result of you reacting to other shadows. That's why burning A-electrum works against A-Atium, because you see your future possibilities and can react to them and that splits shadows for A-Atium users. All of those possibilities are already shown there in the first place, in this mess of many shadows, with F-zink you just finally can comprehend them. I don't think it would make more Shadows or narrow them down, you would be able to analyze most of them and pinpoint the useful ones. HoA ch 3: Vin did overthink it. She reacted to Zane's future shadow of herself, she reacted to the future, which splitted her shadow for Zane. WoA ch 47: Well, mostly. But with A-Atium you react instinctively. Even someone without any combat experience like Yomen was able to strike Elend who was burning pewter. Atium allows you to see several seconds in advance, your body has enough time to react and move out of the way of a Steelrunner - but that depends on the distance. I think a Steelrunner can defeat a Seer, but a Seer still has chances to dodge that.

Maybe? Healing would still probably be the first one your body would reach for, but heat could work too.

Yes, Hallandren is a preindustrial society, a single family would have more kids than a modern family - Dedelin (Siri and Vivenne's father) has 4 kids, Jewels has 5 siblings. My mistake, that's what I meant. I often forgot the name of T'Telir. It's quite large. It took Siri weeks of travel through the country before she arrived at T'Telir, she passed through multiple smaller cities. Hallandren also controls a third of the inland, Inner Sea coastline, a sea that's probably quite large considering it was crossed only 600 years before Warbreaker. I wouldn't be surprised if the Inner Sea was comparable in size to the Black Sea or even Mediterranean Sea.

It looks nothing like a Scadrian symbol, I think we can definitely say that it didn't originate from Scadrial and Roshar for obvious reasons. There is a clear division of 4, it has 4 axes of symmetry, there are 3 different shapes on it, representing 3 realms and the star in the middle has 16 spikes, which represent Shards. I think it is just a symbol for Cosmere, not just the Shattering, not just Adonalsium, all of Cosmere. I don't feel there needs to be any mystery in it, sure some symbolism was included in - numbers 16 and 4, symmetry - but I doubt it has some hidden secret meaning. And the symbol appears in Arcanum Unbounded which I think is an in-world book (at least without novels) written by Khriss. Looking through WoBs, the 4 sided star in the center represents a burst of light:

I doubt it. FIrstly I can't believe that no Feruchemist would try to store something other than wakefulness when sleeping - and if one did that once and it worked, all Feruchemists would know, because they share knowledge. Secondly Mehwish medallions aren't normal metalminds. They are not only unsealed, but they have Identity and life-force of their own. That's why you can store while sleeping, a medallion is doing that for you, just like a medallion is giving you powers of Feruchemy so you can tap metalminds - you don't tap nicrosil for powers (because you can't, you're not a Feruchemist), a medallion taps it for you. Normal metalminds don't have that. they aren't machines. However it's possible to tap at least a goldmind when your life is endangered and healing is necessary for survival. That's when your body's intent takes over and reaches for the source of healing and it would tap a goldmind for you, if you're unconscious - just like Vin and Elend were burning pewter when unconscious. I doubt you can do that with all metalminds, maybe cadmiummind for oxygen if you're suffocating, but no other metalminds can save you like that. SA spoiler WoB:

It would make it slick because its investiture isn't targeted at the plate specifically. Lashing a Shardplate doesn't work because the plate is invested and you need to first overcome that investiture, overwrite and invest it to lash it in some direction - and that would require a ridiculous amount of Stormlight. Abrasion applied on the ground is not acting against Shardplate directly. You don't invest (or act against) the plate specifically, that's when "investiture resist investiture" applies. However I think Lift would be unable to make the surface of a Shardplate slick directly - because she would be trying to change properties of a heavily invested Shardplate which would resist, just like it would resist being Lashed. Dead Shardplate, or Shardplates of other Radiants, her Shardplate can become Awesome (for the same reason Kaladin can Lash himself in his plate).

That's actually a very good tactic - just break leg segments. It may be enough to break just one segment and the plate below it would have to be dropped as it's no longer powered by Stormlight and is just a dead weight. It may be even too hard for a Shardbearer to hold the entire weight of the plate on just one leg. I think there was a situation like this in books somewhere, I don't remember how it ended and I don't have time to search for it now. Either way breaking leg segments is a very good way to severely hinder Shardbearer’s mobility.

Just search Wax+Shardplate. Many WoBs have no tags attached. Check out help page on Arcanum: https://wob.coppermind.net/help/search

This one:

Marsh was called Ironeyes even before he became an Inquisitor. Unlucky coincidence. TFE ch 10: TFE ch 20:

Yup, just be in the Shadesmar. It might even work if you do what Moash did with Teft's spren.

A Divine Breath is different from normal Breaths. A Divine Breath is a Splinter of Endowment, a staple that keeps Returned souls stuck in their body. It's a single, powerful piece of investiture. Breaths aren't like that. Breaths aren't Splinters, Breaths work a bit differently. Both a Divine Breath and 2500 Breaths give you the Fifth Heightening, but the physical enhancements like speed, strength or even appearance changing abilities are unique to Divine Breaths. Age is different from changing appearance. Age is written in your Spirit Web, you have this strong Connection to time and your soul pushes your body to match the right age. It's very hard to actually change your age in Cosmere. Breaths don't change your age. They slow down your aging at best, but you can't become younger then you are with Breaths. If you give you your 5th Heightening, your body will age rapidly to match your Spiritual age. Healing doesn't affect aging and age related illnesses. You can't heal your old age - you can't do with your age what Kaladin did with his slave brands. However if you have a Divine Breath you can change how old you appear (but not your Spiritual age, it's just how you look). This would apply to Heralds and generally to Cognitive Shadows as well - they can decide how old they look. But you can't replicate that with normal Breaths. You can't make a Divine Breath with normal Breaths (as far as we know right now). Warbreaker epilogue: Warbreaker Spoilers WoBs: Mistborn Spoiler WoB: General Cosmere Spoilers WoB: Mistborn Spoilers WoB:

It's not that difficult, it depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to have a spren companion then yes, this is difficult, but if you want powers then it's as easy as spiking a Radiant out of their Connection to the spren and spiking their spren out of their Surgebinding powers (as per the first WoB Trusk'our posted). Two spikes are needed, it's not that hard (as long as you can spike them both). I would argue it's easier to get those powers via Hemalurgy than through normal bonding.

No, I don't think death is physically manifesting on other planets, but rather the concept of it, the idea, the thought of Marsh as Death is "bleeding" through the Spiritual Realm to different places and people. Whatever spren-like entities that are personifications of death (like Deathspren) can be influenced by this, but that won't be very direct and it would take a long time - I mean by this that you won't have spren looking like Marsh walking around on different planets. The concept of death is something bigger than spren.

Notice please that Khriss speculates between two possibilities. It's equally as likely that due to Scadrians perception of Marsh as Death, the concept of death in the Spiritual Realm is filtered through overwhelming perception of Scadrians and it starts to manifest on different planets as Marsh (or via whatever different Cosmere spiritual mechanics this is happening) - just like the concept of the God Beyond pops out from Dalinar and Wayne's mouths suddenly out of nowhere. I think this idea is too important to just dismiss it and simplify it as “rumors.” In my opinion there is something spiritual going on here.

That's the only mention of this Steelmind in TSM. It's talking, it's named "the voice of the ship," it's Awakened - meaning it's an Awakened computer. Not different from Riina's computer, not different from any other Awakened computers that exist, which are quite common in the future. They've been buried in the ground for years now, they don't need any status report right now. Why would they need to do anything with their engine if they don't plan to leave the planet anytime soon? Why would the engine suddenly give a status report conveniently when Nomad entered the ship? It makes the most sense that it's just an Awakened computer, with some form of AI. Not to mention that they rely on FTL, which involves speed bubbles - probably working more like an Alcubierre drive, than a physical thrust engine. Physical speed isn’t needed for that.

I think yes. A Hemalurgist is more invested, the more invested you are the better your immune system is, therefore you will develop fewer cancerous cells. It's entirely possible that cancer won't form around spikes, or rather won't form as a result of spiking. I think it's not possible, or rather highly unlikely. Not to mention that you would suffer more from Hemalurgy than from this tumor. Cancer would be an effect of your reduced health attribute - stealing more health won't stop cancer, giving more health might, but that's possible only with Lerasium. And if you have Lerasium it's better to just burn it to become a Mistborn, becoming more invested with better immunity, which would deal with cancer quickly, with a little help from A-pewter. Trying to steal cancer with a spike would be like trying to steal a hand with a spike. That won't work.

No, it's a computer, TSM ch 45:

I agree, Mistings and Ferrings, even many Twinborns would not be able to win against a Shardbearer. No, not in the combat timescale. A dead plate was never shown to heal even minor cracks.
