The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon
Master_Moridin replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I thought Lashings were based on Rosharan gravity (0.7g) given that it's a Rosharan ability? -
The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon
Master_Moridin replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Is Investiture and the Powers of Creation the same thing? If so, have they always been the same thing? -
Are you perhaps referring to this? http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/52968-sh-spoilers-new-vessel-for-elantris-shards/#entry411722 In which case the context actually is a conversation about the quote Pagerunner quoted.

Trying to hack conservation of energy
Master_Moridin replied to PandACT's topic in Cosmere Discussion
We have confirmation that this is the case for at least two of the systems. On Nalthis if someone dies their Breath just returns to the system, and in Allomancy the Investiture that an Allomancer uses returns to Preservation.- 23 replies

...That's the post I quote part of in my post, so I'm aware it's there. The premise of the theory is still that the Powers of Creation and Investiture are different things, when according to the quote if Rosharans knew what Adonalsium was, they would probably also classify it under spren (I assume the only reason there's a probably is because of Adonalsium's presumed immense power). There's also the fact the quote gives a definition for spren as living Investiture, which gives a partial answer for the piece I quoted. Divine Breaths are Splinters, and so are spren. So the difference is that Divine Breaths are "alive" (There's another WoB that directly defines Splinters as "pieces of the power of Adonalsium that have become self-aware", but due to the relevance of the defining of spren, which are Splinters, I figured the quote I posted offered a better explanation within the current context.)

That's not the implication of the phrasing though. Brandon says that if they did in fact know what Honor was, they would call Honor a spren, because by their definition a spren is living Investiture. Ergo, the implication is that Honor is made of Investiture.

Oh crap it was. I didn't see that bit. My apologies. -
The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon
Master_Moridin replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Don't we already have one? Brandon himself uses Intent, even when unprompted -
He almost certainly wrote RAFO. Someone's asked about gemstone spikes before and got a RAFO.

The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon
Master_Moridin replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
You've said that when someone Snaps and becomes an Allomancer, something fills the cracks in their soul. Is this something a Connection to Preservation, or raw Investiture? -
Well, we have a post here with a quote saying that Preservation and Ruin specifically created Scadrial, and I remember seeing the source the quote comes from, but I can't find it http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/53493-mysterious-name-drop-sh-spoilers/#entry418448 SH spoilers in the thread

There's a WoB I'm having trouble finding where it's said that atium lets you read the connections and probabilities in the Spiritual Realm, and that this is also what electrum lets you do

So why exactly is Nightblood so stupendously overpowered?
Master_Moridin replied to kroen's topic in Warbreaker
There's really not much point to Nightblood being a quasi-sliver when he's already an artificial spren/splinter -
WoB that Ruin and Preservation created Scadrial
-
WoB is Roshar was around before Honor and Cultivation showed up there, and that there were Splinters of Adonalsium on it

Here's the specific WoB if ya want it. Whatever Investment is going on seems to be being done on a Spiritual level -

"ett" is also the indefinite article in Swedish, so the name "ettmetal" could just be "a metal", which would wind up being pretty funny if that's what it was

A Glossary of Important Cosmere Terms
Master_Moridin replied to Confused's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Actually, WoB is that the Aons at the center of Seons are the Splinter, not the Seons themselves -
Not able to answer all of these, but 1. Some of the Shards inhabit pre-existing worlds (Roshar), and some made their own (Scadrial)
