Voidus

Could mark the beginning of old Vorinism

If they understood how compounding health worked, people would realise they just need to get his gold off of him, then kill him and he's dead.

But then people would know how he was immortal and healed, etc. and there would have been other twinborns.

Devotion and Dominion were definitely shattered before the events of Elantris, and Elantris is probably somewhere between one and two thousand years pre-WoK, given the little Brandon has told us about where Elantris falls on the timeline (Not quite thousands of years before mistborn but it sounded like it was close, so probably 1000-2000, but this is purely speculative.)

Yeah I remember reading that, it's strange when I first read that I read it as feruchemists who had misting abilities, not ferrings. Could be talking about it I guess in which case probably some small amounts of allomancy genetics from pre-ascension times throwing it out. Yeah, but that mixed in with the annihilation of all living feruchemists by the inquisitors might have done it. And they might not have really had the option of keeping pure lines among the Terris, due to the breeding programs many of the male lines would die out. There might be some but the obvious answer there is that they didn't have enough feruchemy sDNA to produce full feruchemists.

Harmony didn't change it, it's a result of it mixing with Allomancy genes and being systematically bred out of the population that we get ferrings now.

They do have a few corners but I don't know that I'd classify that as being angular in a description, feruchemical symbols are pretty much entirely angular whereas aons have many smoother curves.

Could be Aons, but they're described as being angular, which most Aons aren't particularly. Sounds more like feruchemical symbols to me.

No reason it shouldn't be possible, given the right genetics, or some Lerasium. I'd be a Feruchemist/Augur (For the double gold) or a Mistborn/Nicrosil ferring.

I got RAFO'd on that, could be interesting though.

No, there's no canonical name yet. And surely a Harmonizer would surely just be someone with an even mix of Preservation and Ruin, which is just a feruchemist. I tend to use Feruchemistborn but yeah, nothing canonical.

I imagine that the extra power is just the leftover Shardic power from the 2 Shards he Splintered, lacking a controlling force as Kelsier did for Preservations power.

Well we know pretty much nothing about ChayShan, so it could be, but there's not really much to say one way or the other.

Feruchemists are a bit of a special case, since they can vary the rate at which they use Investiture. I wouldn't say that a feruchemist-mistborn is stronger than a Surgebinder, if they didn't have any metalminds until entering the fight I'd say that it's quite possible a Surgebinder would win. In both cases it depends on how much resources are available, how much stormlight to the Surgebinder and how much time and metal is available to the feruchemist-mistborn. FTL travel is also a matter of use, not strength.

Well you'd need at least as much Stormlight as Plate holds to be sure of not being affected, and that's assuming that Plate doesn't actively use its Stormlight to block Surges in some way, after all the KR of old had no trouble affecting theirs. And it would really just be a matter of using more Stormlight than they held, if Kaladin was invested with stormlight from one clearchip and Jasnah tried to Soulcast him using all the Stormlight of a gemheart then I think that'd certainly work. Allomancy is also a fair bit weaker than the magic from the other Shardworlds we know of I think.

Well Hemalurgy and Forging are pretty similar, every Shardworld we've seen so far has had a universally accessible magic system, one that doesn't need to be acquired just learned, although Nalthis may be the exception to that, since you need Breath, but everyone on Nalthis could at least make 1 lifeless if they studied. On Roshar we have Artifabrians and their fabrials, on Sel it's Forging, on Scadrial it's Hemalurgy. I wonder if Brandon did it deliberately or if it's more of a coincidence.

In the Heraldic Epochs I'd imagine they couldn't really afford gender bias, I just mean that as Jasnah has been raised in Alethkar and they do apply gender bias that she would be far less experienced in a combat situation. She might be more adept with her Surgebinding but that doesn't mean she'd be a better leader, especially in a military environment.

Well since the KR's were a primarily military order which is a masculine art, I'd say that while she may be more experienced at using her abilities in a practical and creative setting, Jasnah is probably a fair way behind Kaladin in terms of fighting strength and strategy.

And they'd have to kill him to get the Shards if he'd claimed them, the only way Amaram was able to salvage even a little honor was by letting Kaladin live.

Several days still isn't perfect, I can see your point though.

No you need to burn it to become a Mistborn, but anyone can burn it. Brandon has said that if you knew what you were doing you could do some cool things with it, but a Mistborn burning it would just become stronger.

But they use a lot more a lot faster, plus we don't know that they can't hold Stormlight, Jasnah wouldn't want to look to suspicious and Shallans only just started using her abilities, it took ages for Kal to glow noticeably.

Keep in mind also that Kaladin hasn't just been lying idle while Szeth, Shallan and Jasnah arrived, they were going to start testing and exploring his abilities, as would Shallan and Jasnah. And against Jasnah Szeth's just going to get zapped into smoke three seconds after entering the room. But more than anything else, they have 3 Surgebinders to absorb Stormlight, he is only one, which means he'll have 1/4th as much Stormlight as he thought he'd have.

I maintain that Szeth has to either die or join up with Kal pretty much in the next book, he'll be arriving at the same time as Shallan and Jasnah, and one Windrunner versus 3 (Possibly 4) other Surgebinders is not good odds for him. My money's on the return of KRs removing his Truthless status somehow.

The Voidbringers also hold Stormlight perfectly according to Szeth so they shouldn't be glowing probably.
