Aye. That does it indeed. Nice finds, Voidus.

Good point. One of my heroes is Hrathen, but I wouldn't want to meet him. How about both? If they are the same person, great!

Hoid is valid. Its not like I could stop him anyway. He always pops up when you least expect it.

Still... no Hoid... Hoid is like Santa Claus. If you still believe, he will pop up. But sometimes he just doesn't... And then, you cry.

Who is your hero in the Cosmere(published)? Which character from the Cosmere(published) would you like to meet most? (evenifyoucouldn'tmanipulatesuchameetingtostealorgainpowersoritemscausethat'scheating ) I would want to meet Lightsong. He is hilarious and I think we would get along. I'd help him plan out some pranks to pull on his priest and learn from his sarcastic sense of humor.

When I still can't find Hoid in Steelheart...

I see this as two separate answers. One says the soul needs to be repaired. The other is that a severed arm can be reattached. I'm not saying it wouldn't heal the soul, just that he didn't actually say that the reattached arm would work without further spiritual healing. I don't know if Brandon was evading the question behind the questions, but we might need to get a more direct question, like "Can a bloodmaker heal the arm spiritually?"

Aha. I need to pay more attention to stuff like that about the glass. Hmm. About that quote, I understand it differently. I'll post my take on it in a bit.

Glass? When? Do you mean the stained glass windows? There is lead framing between the different pieces on those. I guess silicone is a metalloid, but I'm not sure if allomancy can affect metalloid elements. Any feruchemy has a limit on how much can be stored at once per trait. Brandon has also mentioned that physical speed can only boost you so fast. Compounding converts feruchemy stores into new allomantic metals, so duralumin could definitely boost it. I wonder if going full blast with duralumin and flaring wouldn't have bad side effects. If feruchemy has limits, it can't be healthy. Edit: I reply too slow on my phone. People sneaking in more comments before I submit it. Compounded gold might heal the body, but I haven't seen confirmation yet that gold heals spirit. My opinion is that pushing limits on magic would damage more than your body.

Hugh:

@Unodus Aha, that's a cool effect of Shadesmar. That would definitely make things easier.

I wonder what the swivel chair's geddup noise sounds like.

Oooohoohoohoo! *shivers* I like the dark, yet breath-taking scene you have created. Nicely done, Unodus. Its reminds me of playing Jak and Daxter, all colorful and mischeivous, and then playing the sequel video game: Jak II, a darker shadow with sad hints of good memories lost forever. Now I just need a dark eco peacemaker and some metalheads to waste. I have one concern. The time-dilation and super nova would put a damper on inter-world travel, at least by ships, right? Would this mean nobody can leave the planet now? I suppose none of us are probably planning to leave. As far as arriving, one of my characters arrive by merchant space ship from Scadrial. Maybe there's a way to jump through a narrow section of space without danger. I still love this idea, though. As far as the plot goes, my characters are waiting to hear the big plan from Charden.

@phattemer Indeed

I think Brandon mentioned that there were german-like pronunciations, as well.

Words of Radiance, chapter 87, The Riddens: That's strange though, now that I think of it. The way cymatics works, mass gathers around specific areas, which happen to form symmetry. I guess if the earth was compact enough, it would simply split.

When I still blush profusely upon seeing women's left hands uncovered.

From the Way of Kings in chapter 33, which happens to be titled Cymatics. Its a recurring theme.

Do the other planets in the Roshar system have stormlight or a different version of it?

That works

What are cymatics? Have a look: Video So if Shallan is correct, the plains weren't shattered by a normal earthquake. A specific frequency shook the ground, perhaps from a loud, clear note that could be heard for miles. Do we know of anything that could create such a sound, aimed at or originating at, above, or beneath the surface of the center of the Shattered Plains? --------------------- On another note, this video is just plain cool: Video

In an extended battle, Raoden, Denth and Hrathen can continue at full investiture, as long as Denth recalls his Breaths after use, or employs the same awakened objects continuously(if he even has Breath to spare). Team 2 has two of these individuals.

OK. I'll drop Dirge, then. Tadah!

I can create another character to retroactively take the shot. I'll say he was in a fight of his own not far from the inn. His name will be Dirge, an ex-bounty hunter turned vigilante, giving up the rewards in order to stop small-time criminals before they become a problem. Let me know if this is going too far and I'll edit everything so the shot never happened.

Someone should make a forum specifically to discuss how the Reckoners Series is totally Cosmere and everyone plays along.
