Invocation

I want Adolin to be something different than the Radiants we know, with more of a bond with Maya than most people have with their Blades, but still not a full Nahel bond.

He does have a limit, and he also doesn't keep all the Investiture he's stolen, but rather it leaks out and returns to its source (mostly, he keeps some of it), and as Thanatos said, he did have exposure to the entirety of all Investiture in the Spiritual Realm at one point towards the end of Oathbringer, and doesn't do much other than get really full. Someone asked once if Nightblood could eat the Dor and it was a no, which was added onto to say that Nightblood cannot eat an entire Shard at a time, much less all of them.

Depends on who's holding Preservation, I suppose. Leras would not, because he was focused on immediate preservation of things and struggled to allow things to actually happen, to the point where it is stated that if he was left alone, he would freeze everything exactly as it. It is also possible that no Preservation could do something like that, because of the raw destructive ability of Ruin is not present.

The magic on Ashyn came from the over-spill of the Shards on Roshar, but there was not one on Ashyn itself.

I watched a video on it a while ago, but I don't remember much because it was only like 20 minutes of gameplay.

Well, they made the planet, and probably didn't want to expend the extra Investiture manifestation to make the moon when it was redundant. Also possible is that Yolen does not have a moon so when they were modeling it they didn't want one. Also also possible is Preservation was already future-sighting to see that with the movement the planet would be forced to undergo, a moon wouldn't be able to handle it.

But what if the "Enlightening" process is just changing the Investiture source from Honor to Odium and that's all Sja-anat is able to do, but Adolin accidentally repairs Maya with a different ratio of Honor-Cultivation Investiture? Not as Odium-corrupted and creepy, but still different from before.

If Adolin manages to revive Maya, will she actually be the same spren as before? If you forcibly rip the majority of a being's self out and replace it (even if it is exactly the same), is it the same being, in the same way as if you rebuild a boat exactly as it was before, replacing planks as they go bad, is it the same boat? What will the Cognitive and Spiritual ramifications of Maya's revival be? If she is different enough to reflect in the other realms, would that make Adolin not technically an Edgedancer, regardless of powers and what Maya's bonded used to be, in the same way Renarin may technically not be a Truthwatcher? Discuss.

I think the odds of that are low, but it can't hurt to be prepared.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! There will eventually be a sequel named Nightblood that will fill in the gap as to how Nightblood itself got to Roshar, so hype yourself for that!

Fair.

He has said we might not get canon series for all of the Shards. Also, yeah, Nightblood and Era 3 are more than likely going to happen in the gap between SA 5 and 6

I actually haven't gotten any further on the story than the basic world and that specific prophecy, so not at the moment, but thanks!

Oh. Looks like I need to find a new prophetic title. Yes.

Those are all very good points, but I'm still in it for the meme of actually making flying cars.

Fair enough, but wouldn't Spook have asked Marsh and Harmony about that atium and the Inquisitor making process?

Wasn't it supposed to be Spook's notebook in Era 2?

Not in the long run, but Wayne doesn't know about the slight amounts he would be aging differently, so his healing wouldn't act on that (presumably), though natural aging outside of the small moments he spends in bubbles wouldn't be subverted.

Wait what series? They don't know where it came from, but every time a new capital is made, the first building in that capital has that appear on the wall in the native language of that area. (Or as close as you can get, so there might be some mistranslation) That was a typo. Should have been "war and plague" my bad.

I'm looking to include a prophecy in my next story-that-will-be-forgotten and am wondering if anyone has any feedback on this rudimentary one I constructed. The Lightbringer shall come, War and plague drag in their wake. Peace shall be restored And immortality gained.

That is theoretically possible, I think, with enough finesse and (hehe) progression on the Oaths. Someone asked Brandon about micro-organisms and Progression a while ago, but I can't find the WOB right now.

Depends on how much control the Radiant has, and their intentions.

Yeah, but that's still really cool.

Emperor's Soul was so good. Hope of Elantris is good too.

Intriguing. That's going to be fun. Thanks for the link!
