I'm rereading WoR right now and in one of the Shallan flashback chapters she is given an Aluminum Necklace from her father. This stuck out to me because the necklace isn't that important, she gives it away to save Jushu soon afterward. Why point out that it's Aluminum, something we know to be important investiture-wise, if it is just gonna be given away? My thoughts are that it might've been protecting Shallan from the Unmade's influence a little bit but I don't think we actually know if she ever wore the necklace. The only other reason I can think of specifically mentioning Aluminum is to say that maybe Aluminum is common on Roshar? When she tries to give it to the person Jushu owes money to, he says it's worth less than the quality knives her other brothers got. I think Aluminum was mentioned for a very specific reason here but I'm not quite sure what. Thoughts? EDIT: I have finished my reread and totally forgot that she actually kills her father with this exact necklace so that might be something else to consider.

Found another WOB that applies here and figured it might be useful for reference or something /shrug

Wow, yeah that's pretty much everything

Do we know if each Shard was shattered equally? Like they each got the same amount of investiture? Speaking of that do we even have a unit for investiture? I guess Breaths maybe? But what I'm really wondering is if Sazed could just OHKO Odium out of existence. Ignoring Intent and stuff, because I doubt Preservation would be down for destroying Odium. But if we ignore Intent, is Harmony literally, exactly, twice as powerful as any other shard?

So does Taldain have noodles or not

I don't think a Radiant could survive that so maybe a bit more

I can't actually remember if I read Mistborn or Elantris first, I think it was Elantris. I remember just finding it on a shelf in my house and picking it up because I was bored. I was in like 4th or 5th grade at the time so I'm not sure how well I understood it but I remember liking it. I found Mistborn later and loved it but I don't think I even knew they were by the same guy Like 2 years later after reading Final Empire dozens of times I discovered that Mistborn was a trilogy and almost died Soon after I discovered the Cosmere and all his other books inevitably followed

I think spiking it with stolen F steel would be a good idea.

Suddenly, Bagels.

oh ok thanks!

So, My understanding of Allomancy is that we have the 16 base metals (Iron, Steel, Tin, Pewter, Zinc, Brass, Copper, Bronze, Cadmium, Bendalloy, Gold, Electrum, Chromium, Nicrosil, Aluminum, and Duralumin) and then the 2 god metals (Atium and Lerasium). If that's the case, what the heck is Malatium? The "Eleventh Metal" doesn't seem to fit with the pattern.

If you were a brass ferring and you starting filling your metalmind as fast as possible could you walk through fire? Depends on specifically where the Warmth is coming from I guess.

Hey Everyone! I've wanted an account on this website ever since I first heard about it. I love Brandon Sanderson and all of his books. I haven't read all of them, but I have read a lot. The very first one I read was the first Mistborn, and it remains my favorite book to this day. I recently started the Stormlight Archive books and love them. I’ve never done a website like this before, so could someone give me a quick rundown of how it works?
