  1. Not to mention the septuple axel.
  2. Have an upvote. I was thinking X-ray but Inquisitor threat will stop cheating a lot more effectively.
  3. Nicely done! I almost feel like we would need modern technology though. Sazed swallowed some of his metalminds. So that is possible if one wanted to cheat.
  4. Got to wonder who will win the shotput. A coinshot or a thug............question, how do we assure a feruchemist (in this case pewter) doesn't cheat?
  5. Yes, it was Jezrien. As Calderis stated: To give further context to this (at least from my perspective), "have you seen me?" is associated with a campaign to find lost children in the U.S. Many people similar in age to Sanderson remember this from milk cartons at school or at home. Therefore, going straight in the epilogue from "have you seen me?" to Szeth looking at the busts of the Heralds seemed like a clue. Here is an example:
  6. I am not necessarily on board with the "Passion pushers" either, but have no Fear The discussion concerning this concept is no reason for Anger. I agree with you in principle. Sanderson has made it quite clear that Odium is the shard of Hate. However, Much like Rayse asks Dalinar to give him his pain, it is claer that the removal of pain also does not provoke hate in others. In addition, Odium's everstorm provides voidlight, which as Moash felt, is filled with "Passion": i.e. Suffering. ..........aaaaaaaaaaand you just got Yoda'd /sarc
  7. Don't mean to pick on you RShara. I am just grabbing the whole "passion" reference from seeing it from several people. I know you don't agree. My thought on this is that perhaps Sanderson is using the archaic meaning of the word. Passion originally referred to suffering. The Latin root I believe is Passio.
  8. I can agree with this. However a question still nags in my mind. How do we reconcile this part of the diagram: "Ah but they were left behind. It is obvious from the nature of the bond. But where where where where? Set off. Obvious. Realization like apricity. They are with the Shin. We must find one. Can we make to use a Truthless? Can we craft a weapon?" Sanderson is usually careful with language. "Crafting" a weapon usually refers to creating it from scratch. Was Szeth "Crafted" or used after the fact? The WOB refers back to Peter for a final answer. ........I guess I would like something difinitive which I likely wont get for a few years.
  9. To be honest, this makes little sense to me. Steal a spren? I don't think you could steal a cognitive realm being. In addition, the spren don't start bonding with humans until after the first desolation and the creation of the heralds. The spren mimic the surges given by the honorblades.
  10. "A boy and his bird, that's rather touching."
  11. Gotta go with the shardfork. Can I get a shard dueling cane in case Wayne comes to Roshar?
  12. I think there are a lot of these types of strategies possible. Have the enemy waste their arrows on a fake cavalry charge. Create a false unit of troops in a flanking position for distraction so that reinforcements have time to arrive. Cover the ground in oil and then cover that with an illusion. When the enemy troops move in, set the fire. .............Channeling my inner Dalinar, need to stop.
  13. It would be mostly a CG scene but Kaladin and Szeth's fight above the Highstorm/Everstorm.
  14. After he said if you could get Nightblood into the cognitive realm, he gave me a very funny look (eyebrows raised, eyes widened, lips compressed and chin brought down closer to his chest), which I interpreted as meaning that this was nearly impossible to do. So there you a go a paraphased WoB qualified by interpreted somatic signs. This brings up a question. If Nightblood can't be brought into the cognitive realm (or at least not easily), how did Nightblood get from Nalthis to Roshar? Shardic Influence? Vasher has yet unrevealed knowledge? Any ideas or WOB's out there? I think @Calderis brings up the right point.
  15. Exactly. Line up the Windrunner/Skybreaker and a bunch of their squires and have them each touch and lash 2 catapult stones parallel to land at the same time. Opposing army has a huge swath of their line taken out.
  16. I'm not sure I can accept Stormlight being connected to endowment. While they may both be vaporous, they act in completely opposite ways. Using Breaths, the idea is to exhale the breath. Then give a command Using Stormlight, the idea is to inhale and possibly hold your breath so that it can have an effect. Exhaling wastes the stormlight. In addition, whether it is "friendly" or not, I think using investiture from endowment to power surges would be a corruption of the original investiture. It should then cause surgebinders to glow red.
  17. I think we need to include Willshapers in this although we haven't seen the surges in print yet. The surge for Transportation is the crux of this point. As far as a second to Awakening, Feruchemy seems a better choice than Allomancy. If you are an efficient Feruchemist, storage would constantly be in the back of your mind and you would look for opportunities at all times to store abilities. Given an extended lifetime, I am sure this would pay off.
  18. ...........and this is how Hoid gets caught by Rayse. Hoid can't resist the noodles.
  19. This brings up another issue as well. We have seen that many types of spren appear only partially in the physical realm. When trapped in a fabrial, are they dragging the rest of it through the cognitive by its feet/snout?
  20. I'm not fully sold on this theory, but depending on how you read Chapter 88: Hard to tell whether this applies specifically to the unmade or to something else however, he was just discussing the unmade in the previous passage.
  21. I must say I am interested, but which passage do you refer to: I believe one refers to southern Scadrians. The other is up for debate. My personal feeling is Autonomy.
  22. I thought it was more of a "dishonored" thing where she left in disgrace. However, I may have interpreted it wrong.
  23. It's possible that he is more important. However, at present, I consider him to be a minor character created to further link Kaladin and Moash. It shows how a protagonist and an antagonist deal with loss and mistreatment of loved family members by the same person. He seems to be a weak individual with limited influence and intelligence. This could change in story as I see how Odium could choose such a person for his goals. I don't think he is a Herald. Kalak appears in the drawings as closest to the Shin (at least in my observation).
  24. I think we must agree to disagree. I realize people like Rysn (I like her too), however, given her assumptions towards the Shin, I can't think of her as a open minded individual in these scenes. Perhaps they show her as becoming more open minded? Her shying away just shows she has not experienced different cultures enough. It in no way convinces me that Siah Aimians are bad luck.
  25. Again, I see no proof of this. You wish to equate folk superstition (and I might add, folk superstition which is inherently degrading such as rubbing their head) as evidence of your point. I don't see this as being in any way convincing.
