Yes I agree with everything you just said. I think it should be possible but the healing would be your normal kind of healing with all the usual shenanigans required breathe, colour and command.

One-third of listeners population was decimated in this war.

Ok these all are fair points

ok but why though?

NW looks at you with a glint in her eye, wait is that a smile I see, what could it mean, she says in a singsong voice granted, every thing you shall speak shall come true. Dawn arrives and you step out into the world happy. One week later, you are sitting by the road weeping, passersby stop to ask you but you are afraid to speak. Everything you speak comes true but not at all in the way you wish for. You don’t know what is boon or bane anymore! You see NW could not understand what u wishes for, so she gave you something weird. i wish to go to ashyn to live in those floating cities

But that itself suggest that more is possible. May be via divine breaths it is limited, but if you hold extra breath like vasher then you can awaken. This is specifically with regard to healing by returned using divine breath. But a normal awakener like Vivenna will not be held back by the same limitations. There are many things that awakening can do, which have never been explored. The extent of healing will depend on the congnitive and spiritual aspect of the person being healed but healing is still possible.

Thank you, your wish is granted and you are now my bonded godspren! I wish now for you to leave this valley, and let us go visit urithiru

As a newly bondsmith, I shall grant you this boon, you are ambition and you held the shard that best suited you, but alas, odium shattered you and you lie waiting become vengeance bidding your time I wish to cultivation directly, because NW shall not hear it, looks sideways progress quickly in my oaths, so that I can persuade NW to come out the valley

So instead of worrying about the apocalypse i get to chill here in this valley!! And get entertained by the piteous humans who come calling. Sign me up for it.

Sighs but then taking a deep breath, straightens my shoulder, looks up ignoring the touch of hundreds of tentacles on my face, I said “So be it. The bane I wish of you motherspren is to bond with you as your bondsmith. To endure your company till I die, there is no bigger bane I think. Life before death, strength before weakness, Journey before destination!”

Lol... Guess it was obvious.. !! !!!

And alethis are not the only ones always fighting. In kaladins stroll with the stormfather during the storm, he saw many different nations at war with each other. And then there are the constant highstorms. Granted people have learnt to be safe, but there must be plenty casualties with every Highstorm roshar-wide.

granted, you are adonalsium, you were shattered and you died. I wish for a visit to the southern continent on scadrial

So, this got me thinking. We know that Lightsong died healing Susebron. We know for a fact that all the Returned specifically Hellandren Gods can heal one person but in doing so they give up their life. Heightenings also provide self-healing. But, i have been thinking that normal Awakening using breaths should be able to heal other people as well. What would be the requirements for healing using awakening? - Breaths: LS had the fifth heightening because of his divine breath - Colour: His entire body is drained of colour. Anyone with enough breaths to grant the fifth heightening should be able to heal other people. LS is doing awakening only in some way taking colour from his body, it is different from normal awakening, but, i dont see why the same can not be accomplished using breaths. If a returned has more breath than his divine breath, they might not even die healing people.

that would be so cool. That just blew my mind right now!! I am just not very clear on the concepts of Spiritual Connection and identity... What exactly are you implying? All the oathgates are spiritually connected and they also have an aspect of identity, so using the connection they can exchange people from one to the other?

when you weekly visit his website looking for a status update

“Thank you, Kelsier,” she whispered, looking back at him, “for all you have done. Your sacrifice was amazing. But to do the things you had to do, to defend the world, you had to become something. Something that worries me.”

Yes please do that @0_Graham_0 we never get to discuss only wok anymore, it will be fun to revisit it. I promise no spoilers. Wot, eh? How much have you read? Who is your favourite character?

You can create fabrials for all these surges, the way we have soulcasters and regrowth. I like to think that in peacetime, a fabrial manipulating the surges of gravity, a little like navani did with the platforms during the battle of narak, could act like a flying vehicle which can be piloted by either windrunners or skybreakers. Skybreakers and dustbringers could probably help in breaking down waste, like soulcasters are used at the present. surges of friction can enable its orders to become champions of figure skating and provide entertainment to people. Regrowth = farmers, doctors illumination= excellent spies/ intelligence services, entertainment industry putting up plays for people. soulcasting = manufacturing/ waste disposal transpotation = off-world and in-world transport services along with maintenance of diplomatic relations with spren bondsmiths & stonewards, I believe tension allows them to be builders I really can’t specualte about cohesion, not until I understand what it does...

I think this thread will fall under the “cosmere discussion” since it includes points from all the works of cosmere.

and the characters in the story and the magic system...

I have also reread Brandon’s books, SA I have read atleast 3 times. It is amazing how much foreshadowing he does and some of it, in retrospect, is so obvious that it is almost hilarious. I love how some of the chapter headings are foreshadowing. Also all the descriptions of voidbringers, now that you think about it, how did I miss it? I just don’t know. I also noted shallan counting heartbeats and then I thought she killed her father and took his! But the truth was so much more than I could imagine. I have tried to reread wheel of time. First three books I have read three times, but honestly I have been stuck at fires of heaven for some reason, I don’t know why..

Please, No need for the sorry, it was said in an attempt to lighten the mood. I apologise if I offended in any way. I am glad that BS books were able to help you. Let me welcome you to the 17th shard again.. please share your theories on the books, looking forward to it.

It would make sense for a shard like autonomy to want to manifest In the form of a sun, autonomous in the space, an entire Entity onto itself, inaccessible, instead of investing on a planet. However, his perpendicularity then has to be somewhere near the equatorial region on the planet on the day side. If sands glow on the dayside due to microfauna, which is able to synthesis of sun rays into active investiture, then the presence of fluorescence among the flora on the dark side could definitely have a similar relation to investiture. As less as we know about it, it certainly is very interesting

Well that is some introduction there. Welcome to the 17th shard
