If you awaken a carrot, then eat the carrot, what happens?

Interdigitation "There is one shard who only wants to hold hands..."

I made the mistake of beginning my journey through the Wheel of Time with an audio book. I keep wanting to enjoy audio books, but I hate them all. Now that I have picked up again halfway through book two, I am actually enjoying it! I guess there is too much lost for me without the voices I come up with and control of the pacing. Some readers sound really annoying, too.

Thanks! So you mean adonalsium-spren as in spren made from pieces of adonalsium. I thought you meant spren that are attracted to adonalsium. That would be weird, though, as technically they are adonalsium.

O.O You don't happen to have a source link to that I can borrow, do you? I promise I will give it back! Pretty please?

Well welcome to getting sucked beyond the event horizon! There's no turning back now, unless you think you can outrun the catquisitors. (Those guys are scary. Especially while in pursuit.)

Is there a twinborn circus? Are twins/triplets/etc more likely to end up with the same allomancy and/or feruchemy powers? Identical versus fraternal?

K, you get Odium.

I wonder how much Brandon likes to mess with people by saying "RAFO" to completely unimportant stuff. I know I would. And I'd force a shocked look, then grin maliciously, adding to the false sense of potency the question possessed.

Would you?

Why do people magically turn into Ookla when quoted here? So confusing. Are you all really Peter having a conversation with himself?! So, his secret in managing the cosmere consistency has been revealed at last...

Can Harmony see what is stored in someone's coppermind? Does Sazed still have his copperminds? Does he use them? Or do they still exist? Do highstorms happen in the cognitive realm? If so, do they recharge spheres brought over from the physical realm?

Probably an icecream salesman. All those cute, snot-nosed kids with their dirty, little hands. You want them to enjoy their icecream, and you want their loose change, but you can't help but wonder what infectious diseases are coating those coins. Then as you drive away to the merry tune emitted from the top of your vehicle, you fall back into the depressive well of knowing you could have done so much more with your life. That or a telemarketer. Same story, different color.

I don't know... I never did aspire to becoming a basketball.

Good call on the Stormfather's involvement in those things! Why is the Stormfather a bondspren, so to speak? He makes storms. Those don't even seem bondish. I guess highstorms are really more than storms, though. His storms bring stormlight. It's like he carries a shard's well across the world and dumps all of the power back out to the people as it regathers what has been used of lost naturally. And Kaladin was riding it! Kaladin, Well-rider. Not as cool as Bilbo, Barrel-rider, but it still is something.

source There's more about the God Beyond at that link. The God Beyond aparently goes beyond even the minor shardworlds. Still a good question, though. Who knows what details it may elicit.

They make me think. Specifically this one: The way Calamity can make someone into an Epic, aparently if they don't resist, doesn't sound like it is something originating from Calamity, only triggered, at least if you agree with Obliteration's musings. Do humans possess something that will make them into Epics eventually? Something Calamity is only speeding up? Did something else happen that started it all and Calamity was the first or one of the first to manifest? If Calamity was a regular person before, too, what caused that transformation? An alternative thought is that the "seed of the Epic" is simply fear. Then again, is "the Epic" a specific noun, indicating a specific person, or does it simply mean the role/occupation/specie? On another note, I looked back over Obliteration's last confrontation with David and now that I understand what happened to Megan, I wonder if the same thing happened to Obliteration first. Sounds like a change of heart to me.

I guess I look into things too deeply. I was trying to keep an eye out for writing techniques being used while reading Firefight. When I got to the part where David is spying on Obliteration and Newton, I thought it was wierd he called her sword skills good. I somehow jumped to the conclusion that her deflection skills were actually her unsheathing her sword blindingly fast to automatically block attacks and push them away. I read the rest of her involvement in the book thinking that. Suffice it to say, things make more sense now. At least I recognized it as foreshadowing, right? I also kept seeing Abraham's pendant as something important, though it wasn't at all an implement in any Epic's weakness.

Hahaha! You are right. Thanks

That aside, you guys are too smart for me, so I admit I skipped after most of the first page. Something did stand out to me, though, and I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but whenever people mention spren bonding to their human symbiant, it is making an idea thing, a bond. Why is a bondsmith called a bondsmith? Are there roles attributed to each order? Were bondsmith so few because of their role? Was their role, perhaps, smithing bonds, calling new radiants forth from humans and spren(for in my opinion that is what a knight radiant is, the two working together), aka to "unite them," as urged by Honor? Also, back to Brightlord Spifflewicket's original topic, what do you think of Moelach?

Depends on the origin of the moon sceptre, most likely. It is a relic because of its origin. What people think about it may be different than what it is, in Shai's time. I wonder if Feruchemy as we know it is simply a crude form of it that was discovered because it was more likely to happen. Perhaps there are more refined applications of it through less harmful means. What if the basic concept of tearing off parts of a soul could be calmed down to making connections without going too far? Outside of my 'Hoid is the Real Villain' thread, I think he is actually a good guy and, if possible, would avoid harming someone else to acheive his goals. If possible. His personality in each world denotes someone who isn't a creep. Back to the moon sceptre, I wonder if the other backstory hints about the MaiPon are tied to it.

See, a bad guy would deny it, too.

If that's the case, does that mean we are in a cosmere world? Does that make this the world of Hoid's origin? And all those books Brandon writes that are non-cosmere, are they actually cosmere, but he doesn't want us sharders to know so we don't catch on to the bigger picture and figure out everything? Definition of evil, right there.
