Invocation

Doubt it. With an anchoring block that had a significant enough aluminum content to have them trapped (which wouldn't be too hard, I'd think). That is why I specified on the Cognitive side of things. Lure the Radiant and spren over temporarily, bag the spren (aluminum again), shove the Radiant back through the perpendicularity. Of course you could just keep the Radiant on that side as well and imprison them there, since there's not really a difference in that regard to Physical vs Cognitive.

Suspend them in a large box of aluminum, with chains of aluminum Soulcast into the rock that anchor it being held above a void (potentially in the ruins of Rathalas) with less than a fridge's worth a space on the inside for them to move around in, while on the Cognitive side you do something similar to their spren except by dropping them into the beads with a manacle or concrete on their feet so they can't get back up. The spren won't die, so they're still Radiant, but there wouldn't be enough room to summon their Blade, not to mention the distance making that difficult, and not even enough space for their Plate to make a major difference, should they actually be able to don it at all.

These Words Are Accepted. Welcome to the Shard!

No, at that point the difference is very much the largest and most meaningful it could be. "How had Wyrn known that Fjon would find Hrathen here, on the streets of Teoras of all places?" (Page 597/616 by my copy's count). Fjon was told where to go and why to go there, by someone in the chain of command that he assumes is Wyrn (and for all intents and purposes probably is). Somewhere along that line, he knew that Hrathen would betray them.

No, they really don't. They have to say they do, because otherwise they get sent to whatever equivalent of the gulags Fjordell has. If he predicted they would win, why would he have had what's-his-face go stab Hrathen?

Domination can be easily unwilling, and given the Dakhor leaning toward that side of things, that's what they're doing. Wyrn has some access to some form of future-sight, which means he was likely preparing for the eventuality that his Aonbreakers would fail initially by making more. At least if he's smart. I don't think it's so much of an 'off switch' as it is something about Wyrn being more Invested than the normal Dakhors and a likely failsafe of their method of Investiture that would allow him to cut off their source if they were in direct rebellion. Maybe only via eyesight but it's still probably there.

No, but the victim doesn't need to be willing is my point. Who cares, when you're taking from them? What does it matter whether they want their stuff ganked? You just do it. Likely the same for Dakhor. Elantrians were not a problem before because they were content to be left alone as long as they were left alone. Now they're not, and they're no longer afflicted by the Reod, so now they're an issue. If you think there's not a way to shut them down, you'd deluding yourself.

Because to this point it was only worth it to use willing ones. Closest cosmere system to this that I can think of is Hemalurgy, where that's exactly how it works. One or two extra people is good, but you may as well have a few units of two or three of these people running around supporting each other for some pseudo-guerilla efforts against the Elantrians. Why bother is precisely because they're that effective: if another army of Elantrians shows up shooting off Daa blasts, they won't know where to target if you've effectively mixed the more power Aonbreakers into the rest of the Fjorden forces, giving them a larger chance of surviving to blast back. How to keep control of them is simple: religion. I highly doubt Dilaf was the only fanatic among them, and I also doubt that their choice of him to be the pioneer Aonbreaker was coincidental. All that needs to happen is they find more raging fanatics and repeat the process. Surely there's no shortage in the death cult monastery. Then you have control over them easily enough, even if you may not exactly be able to reign them back in once you've set them loose, but that's a threat with all soldiers.

I don't know why unwilling sacrifices wouldn't. Asserting their Devotion to the religion by assuming Dominance over people via incorporating them into your magic. We've seen that their transformative things tend to involve a circle, so theoretically their Intent should outweigh the unwilling people, especially if the circle has to be proportional to the amount of death. Judging from the fact that Dilaf was absurdly effective, I see no reason Fjordell would not juice their people as much as they can. Even with the Elantrians preparing for it, if enough can have that ability and are spread out enough, there'll be no way to focus on getting rid of them unless some people get really good at massively complex Aon chains that can operate under-the-radar enough to not get broken.

Fjordell has been functionally conquering its way across their known areas of Sel. All they have to do is kidnap people to use.

You say that like they'd care. Everything they do costs lives. They're fanatical monks being wielded like a mace by inhuman fragments of a dead pseudo-deity. None of those factors are exactly condusive to caring about human lives.

Before, I lined it up with Marry Sarene, Snog Hrathen, and Kill Raoden, but now I feel like Sarene and Hrathen need to be swapped (sorry Raoden, you just don't hit the boxes for me).

Oh no that was just me noting stuff on the initial topic in a direct contrast to what I said the first time I was here on this thread. I may have...forgotten...to indent for clarity. My bad.

Yes.

Please clarify.

Odium is sardines

Not yet. Wait until they figure out how to split the gem multiple ways, or link the connections. Faster-than-light printing presses.

Odium would probably have to actively dispel it, since it's wrapped up in his Investiture and will, so very doubtful that it goes away any time soon.

That doesn't do it for me. Not rugged enough. Honestly, I'd probably marry Hrathen instead, but I get the feeling his religion wouldn't allow that so much.

Bought mine!

You and me both, my friend. Spren measurement will propel Rosharan science like nothing else, and it's absolutely sure to be interesting. I can imagine gun embankments linked to a single firing mechanism, Navani's flying ships hitting floating island status, easy maglev trains, and an easier way to make stormshelters once they figure out how to recreate Soulcasting fabrials fully with a preprogrammed structure to cast.

No shame in that. The internet is a big place, and most of the little leaks are being taken down ASAP by lawyers. I can't find the monolith image anymore for that reason, so it stands to say that other images have met the same fate.

Like their forays into quantum measurement, even if they don't know that's what it is.

Presumably pineapples.
