    Shallan’s father gave her a necklace made of aluminum. She later used that same necklace to strangle him. 1. Does Shallan still have that necklace? 2. Does the fact that the necklace is aluminum mean anything important, investiture-wise?

    Could Shallan have successfully strangled her father to death with a different necklace? Perhaps one made out of something other than aluminum?

    Aight answers for you.

    Aluminum is not invested, but is immune to investiture itself, so the necklace being made of aluminum would have no effect as it didn't kill Lin Davar, lack of oxygen did, being strangled by an aluminum chain would be no different so someone with investiture than any other material.

      The first two are suspect as Brandon has said Shallan's memory about the necklace being aluminum is not to be 100% trusted.

      Questioner

      So, I'm intrigued by aluminum, especially the fact that it can only be found by Soulcasting on Roshar. So, how was it discovered in the first place?

      ...Did I say you can only get it through Soulcasting?

      In the Shallan flashbacks, she has the pendant.

      Don't take what she says at 100% truth.

      i think that WoB is saying there are other ways to get aluminum/you can't actually get it from soulcasting, not that the necklace itself isn't aluminum 

      which is true actually, we find out in Oathbringer that aluminum is found on roshar from meteorites.

      The meteorite metal that they talk about that blocks Shards, is that aluminum?

      Brandon Sanderson

      Uh, so-- yes.

      The WoB you just quoted was from the OB release party, so it makes sense that the questioner would ask that question, they hadn't read the book yet.

      I won't say it's impossible.
