@The One Who Connects I was referring to stealing its ability to absorb Investiture from people. I'm not entirely sure if that's possible or not, but I'm willing to ignore that for the fun of this thread. Side note, Oathbringer spoiler:

psshhhh! with some steel speed you can spike that dumb bird and steal EVERYBODY'S Investiture!

Frost says describes Odium as being (paraphrased) "God's own righteous anger, separated from the context that gave it virtue." Seems like God would be pretty angry at the people who murdered him, so I see what you're getting at here. I like it

Theory: The Evil (Threnody) is a Splinter of Ambition
Storms! replied to EC11's topic in Cosmere Discussion
There's a WoB somewhere that basically says that a Shard can leave an invested planet in 2 ways: 1) slowly divest and leave whole, or 2) rip itself away and abandon any Investiture not divested. If I remember correctly, Odium and Ambition started fighting on Threnody, then the fight finished out in space. My theory is that Ambition tried to flee and had to use option 2 to escape, leaving a chunk of itself that it didn't have time to reclaim. That chunk/Splinter became The Evil -
[OB] Combat Uses of the Illumination Surge
Storms! replied to Hoiditthroughthegrapevine's topic in Stormlight Archive
A Lightweaver would be scary effective in a nighttime, guerrilla-style raid scenario. A trained LW could easily make camouflage to assassinate a few scouts and clear the way for a strike team. Then they each attach illusions to spheres in groups of 3. One sphere as a strobe light, one to make a loud noise (I'm picturing a jail break alarm) and another to make a Gary. The enemy camp would become a nightmare of sound, light, hellish creatures and general mayhem. During the confusion, the soldiers move in and from there, it's just butchery -
You mean like that Wheel of Time pilot?

This. This is how the world ends

Shallan's father/the Ghostbloods were Soulcasting to create quarries of I forget exactly, but turning some piece of ground into a quarry isn't that different, mechanically, from creating a lava pit This has been fun. You've been a worthy opponent, but I should probably make up some of the work I've been missing by participating in this thread lol It started out pretty slow/dismissive. It really took off when my brother @Teesh229 had the idea of adding the 10 Honorblades, which I shamelessly stole

This thread has gotten completely out of hand and I couldn't be happier about it

First things first, you get an upvote for relentlessness. Now (deep breath), here we go: As the lava pool forms, Fullborn decreases weight and pushes off of the trace metals in the lava, escaping the pool Speed bubble goes up, Fullborn uses compounding gold to regrow feet/part of legs. Then, Fullborn uses Tin/taps eyesight to examine it's surroundings, while increasing mental speed to process what he sees. Fullborn pees a little Fullborn then sacks up, drops the speed bubble and gets the hell away from the lava. Feet securely on solid ground, FB then sends out a Duralumin enhanced soothing, stopping all cremlings not encased in aluminum. FB eats some more Duralumin and uses it to increase the range of his Steel Shredder, destroying all vulnerable cremlings, and launching thousands of tiny rocks (from the ground) in all directions. Tiny rocks kill many of the aluminum-cased cremlings Use steel speed to quickly swallow metal vial (which is stored in an aluminum vial, so it would not be launched in the Push) before cremling can do anything sneaky Use Pushes and Pulls to move erratically (gotta love those trace metals in the rock of the ground) and charge the cremlings closest to the Highstorm As he gets close, throw up speed bubble and uses Feruchemical steel/pewter to smash aluminum cremlings with huge rocks. Use F-speed and push/pulls to move quickly/erratically, to prevent being ambushed/surprised again Methodically seek and destroy remaining cremlings using tactics 8-10 Game. Set. Match

Thanks for the infor Joe, I hadn't seen that WoB. Very interesting, but we can work around that. Steelspeed+Atium should be very good for dodging bullets. At least good enough to protect the vitals. Then you open a new speed bubble, pick the aluminum out and heal the wounds. Side note: Is it even possible to Soulcast something into aluminum? I can see it being impossible to create something completely immune to Investiture out of Investiture
-
So this would protect the vitals against the steel pushing shredder, but not the limbs/appendages. The Fullborn can still shred the legs/claws/wings off, preventing the cremlings from removing the critical metalminds. With no way to attack/defend, it's basically swatting flies with while burning Atium and Pewter with steel speed. Then, when the second hoard teleports up into the air, the Fullborn throws up a speed bubble to 1) finish off the first hoard and 2) laugh at the useless attack. The speed bubble then drops and the aluminum bullets fly. Devastating... for a few seconds, before gold compounding kicks in and instantly heals. Then it's time for offense. The Fullborn tosses the Ettmetal primer cube full of Leacher power into the main hoard of cremlings, temporarily removing all Stormlight. Then the Fullborn uses a Wayne-style attack to trap/eliminate isolated groups of cremlings. Using Pewter and Feruchemical strength, along with Atium and steel speed, he makes short work of each hoard, until there are either none left or at least not enough left to threaten him. Fullborn wins. @The One Who Connects Thanks for the insight, now who you got!?!

Wow. That was next level BUT! I have a question. Does compounding a metal give you savant-like abilities? Because there are trace metals in the blood (how Inquisitors are able to see). If the Fullborn has a simultaneous Push+Pull on these trace metals, while increasing weight with iron, he could shred the cremlings to pieces all at once. But if not, ummmm yeah. Death Cloud Side note: Love how you even drew the Mistcoat tassels
-
Feruchemical strength plus pewter pulls the Fullborn right out of that trap! The most underrated power for the Fullborn has to be the Leecher ability. Poof! No more Stormlight @hoiditthroughthegrapevine Check-mate
-
If the Fullborn used feruchemical speed+Atium, he could probably squish enough for the Sleepless to need to call in the reserves. How fast can the sleepless produce new hordlings? Compounded Soulcasting would probably help
-
Fullborn weapon of choice: Fly Swatter!
-
Which one is that again? What's the Vegas betting line?
-
What if someone bonded all 10 Honorblades, granting them every surge twice? Could they fight a Fullborn?
-
Gasp! But that's men's food!
-
Marsh is the closest that we are 100% on (Spook and Kel probably still kicking around though), but he would only have the Era 1 powers so he wouldn't actually be "full"
-
This is the type of half cracked scheme I was looking for! A couple problems though: 1. The Fullborn would be too heavily invested to turn to soulcast into pitch. You could soulcast the house into pitch though! 2. Gold compounding. A gold compounder can heal from the fire, and probably the net too What if we executed your plan, then while the Fullborn was busy healing/untangling himself, whack! Nightblood to the face? We might need a Dalinar Perpendicularity, just to be safe
-
Could someone like Jasnah Soulcast away the metalminds to stop the compounding?
-
Let's not forget that the Fullborn can compound gold. We know that can heal decapitation and will instantly heal any strike that isn't immediately lethal, but could it heal a sharblade strike to the spine? We might need Nightblood after all
-
Let's open it up to any magic system in the Cosmere then: You can send a worldhopper to Scardrial for an Electrum spike, then to First of the Sun for the bird that shows your death. That should help cancel out the Atium and some of the Feruchemical steelspeed. What else would our champion need?
