You just posted a quote confirming he used the Lerasium? Hoid rewrote his sDNA with the goal of becoming an Allomancer. We have seen him use Allomancy. This equals Hoid has used the lerasium. Technically he might not be a Mistborn he could have used and alloyed a piece of it to gain only misting abilities. We so far have only seen him Sooth.

Odium came from Ashyn. Non-cannon alert: The investiture was based off of sickness. Those that were sick gained powers from it. As to your theory as Rshara stated it is basically correct. The bit with Atium and Lerasium isn't quite right. The metals didn't just manifest because of the nature of Scadrial. Excess shardic power seems to often take the form of metal on any of the planets. For instance Shardblades are a godmetal.

It depends on how shades function. They seem to be cognitive shadows that are pushed into the Physical realm. Kelsier is only in the cognitive realm during the events of Secret History. If you brought silver into the cognitive realm you could probably kill him with it. The properties of silver are Cosmere relevant. The effects are not isolated to Threnody. More than likely silver would harm a cognitive shadow anywhere. Hoid also carries a silver sword. which is interesting.

Do you have a WoB? The manifestation and usage of the surges appears to be specifically linked shards. Honor/Cultivation and possibly Odium. The God metal is probably different depending on the spren. Honor spren a pure god metal. Cultivation spren pure Cultivation god metal. The others alloys of god metals.

This is what I've always assumed. It seems like their machine uses bronze to seek Aviar. This is just an interesting example of possible future technology from Scadrial.

I agree that it is very good to have insight. I just think that either this will be included in a published book, or the same themes will be reiterated in other novels. It was very short but awesome. Exactly how I want Hoid. Honestly, I'm not excited for Hoid as a full character. Sanderson will probably prove me wrong, but Hoid works in small mysterious doses. Hoid does not currently have Lerasium. He used it to become a Mistborn. He rejected a shard probably because he knew it would twist him. If he gathers enough investiture of different types he shouldn't be warped by the intents. As he pointed out not even Ati the best of them couldn't resist the pull of his shard. That is what Hoid fears. It almost is a twist on Odium. Odium refuses to take another shard because he will stop being Odium. Hoid refuses to take a shard because he knows he will no longer be Hoid.

I feel it is extremely useful insight into Hoid with a nice look into some other happenings, but as it isn't even published it cannot be that important to the cosmere as a whole.

Your WoB does not support you. The base 16 and interactions between them and harmonium. Sounds a lot like harmonium alloys.

Given normal science works in the Cosmere it alone is enough to get you into space. Allomancy and feruchemy just make it even easier. It is a fact that the 16 base metals are enough to get you into space.

All of my statements hold and are basically facts. You don't seem to understand the nature of the metals or god metals. There are a base 16 metals in the metalic arts. If you have enough connection to a shard you can burn their god metal. God metals can be alloyed with the base 16 metals. There will not be any additional standard allomantic metals. God metals can be alloyed. These can be used for allomancy if mistings of it exists or full Mistborn.

The god metals are not normal allomantic metals. They are raw investiture that can be used for allomancy and feruchemy. There will not be any more base metals. There are 16. There could be god metal alloys. As I already stated previously.

Harmonium as a god metal can be alloyed. I find it hard to believe we won't see some of them. Many Cesium alloys are nonreactive.

There are only going to be the 16 base metals of allomancy. However you can create alloys with God metals which we have not seen yet. So there are a lot of Harmonium alloys we could see.

I think early space travel will use basic but more advanced medallion technology. I'm talking about early solar system exploration technology. Something we will see in the 1980s Mistborn. By the time we get to interstellar travel and Spaceborn we will get into the really complex machinery.

I think there was a natural shardpool with the mixture of the two powers that the Terris people sat a top of. Over generations this created the first Feruchemists. Now we see that Southern Scadrians seem to have quite a few ferrings without Terris blood. The Southerners also seem to be near Harmonies shardpool as they have access to Harmonium. I doubt Trell or Autonomy was involved with Feruchemy in anyway.

That is very possible. It would make sense. If this is true I would wonder if Irali are just like any other sentient race in the cosmere or if their creation was more specific.

The Dakhor monks seem to be expanding their area of magic reach by conquering allowing them to use magic at a further distances. Even before they battle they declare a territory as theirs which seems to allow them to access their power. It is possible that Elantrians could increase their domain either through conquest or perception which may allow them to extend the reach of their power. Distance would still likely cause issues. It might weaken the dor by stretching it over such a vast area. The Ire seem to be able to tap into Selish magic from Scadrial. We don't see them us the dor, but they have what appears to be power lines of investiture powering their cognitive stronghold. That being said it seems a waste of investiture to move your planet all around. There are probably better ways.

Giving people a curse and a boon is not "experience". By your definition of experience granting literally anything would count as such and makes any shard an equal likely candidate. Experience does not equal growth. Their god isn't interested in cultivating the best people. The goal is to experience all things. A very different intent than Cultivation. I'm not saying they are good and bad. I am saying that wanting to experience everything doesn't fit with Cultivation. There is no reference to wanting change by the Iriali the religion. Their goal is to experience everything. They don't seem to have a real goal in mind. They also are not from Roshar. Roshar is the 4th planet they have visted. This would mean that Cultivation heavily invested elsewhere before Roshar, and then also directed the Iriali to Roshar to experience life on a planet that she was already occupying in full force. The only evidence for The One being Cultivation is that they mention to go to the Valley. We most likely we are dealing with an unnamed shard. Sanderson has a number of shards to reveal, and I would guess the Iriali are seeds to one of these shards.

1 simple cosmere trick doctors don't want you to know!

For sure we are going to see Feru/Allo tech in Era4 I'm super excited for that. I'm thinking more on the lines of the 1980 tech level. I do wonder how the Scadrian FTL will work. If they could find a way to move a speed bubble you could use this. Maybe Bendalloy access through a metalmind. Possibly multiple multiple bendalloy bubbles would work. Move through one bubble while still attached to the next. You are going to burn through bendalloy fast this way.

The new metals seem to hint at how this can be accomplished fairly easily. Use Harmonium and Steelpushing for flight. Burn Cadmium to slow the time for those inside the ship without altering the speed of the ship itself essentially putting yourself in stasis. Tap Cadmium for breath storage. Tap Bendalloy for calories when needed. Tap Brass for warmth. The ship actually doesn't need to be that advanced for this to work. All you would need is an airtight ship that can withstand entering and exiting the atmosphere. You'll then need a lot of stored Feruchemical attributes. The space opera will probably use more advanced machinery, but we will probably see this kind of basic spaceflight in the 1980s Mistborn.

The feruchemical potential is the most interesting to me. Too bad lesarium barely existed Era1, and you would really need a full Feru to tap it. I would be surprised if TLR didn't experiment with it. I wonder if a cache of it exists somewhere on Scadrial.

This doesn't seem to fit with Roshar being the 4th planet they've visited. Others directly refer to Cultivation so another group of people calling her The One would be a bit odd. It is very likely that they no longer recall the details of their God. Some may have even mistaken Cultivation or the Night Mother for it. Not much different than Vorin often speak of the Night Mother as if it is of Odium. Given they lack religious texts, and the don't even treat it as a religion the stories likely have been corrupted over time. The One just really doesn't fit with Cultivation. I would guess this is Autonomy or a new shard altogether.

I mean why use it as a spike? It would be much more efficient to just use it. Even if it is a small amount it would be better to alloy it with another metal to become strong in a single power rather than damage your spirit web stealing a single attribute.
