Invocation

They wouldn't have made a confirmed report without some visual evidence of a body, and if it were to be MeLaan, she probably wouldn't have stayed still for long enough for that report to be confirmed dead.

I find it difficult to think that a kandra would choose to die in the middle of a large fight like that. Unless you were talking about them voluntarily keeping their shape when the body "dies," in which case I just want to mention that Malan was likely lighteyed, which meant they would have Soulcast the body to stone anyway, which would have its own issues.

I just did in Oathbringer, and, well, sorry. Dude's dead, and there was probably a body due to Dalinar's certainty.

Depends on whether Malan made it through the events of WoR or not.

Malu walked over to Nekorb, noting that he seemed a little lost. "So do you have any idea why we're actually down here?" @xinoehp512

There's not really more than 16, just some funky stuff with the way godmetals interact with the system. Malatium isn't truly an Allomantic metal, it's only made so because it's an alloy with Atium. Any of the other metals could be alloyed with the godmetals to form "new" Allomantic metals, much like how Compounding works, but it doesn't truly make them Allomantic metals. The godmetals also aren't really Allomantic metals, they're just what happens with the amount of Connection Scadrians have to their Shards, being that they were made from scratch by those Shards, which is why you'd need to Connection-hack to make another Shard's godmetal burnable by a Mistborn. Lerasium alloys make Mistings of whatever metal the lerasium is combined with, and atium alloys have various temporal effects that we don't fully know.

Probably. Given that Nightblood eats Investiture like that, I'd say that bringing him into contact with a live sprenblade would either kill the spren or force it out of Blade mode entirely. Nightblood would be massively more Invested than any typical Blade, easily enough to screw that Blade up pretty badly, if not outright destroy it.

I figured it was something like that. No big deal, it happens. She can create it only starting from her body, and how much they can cut depends on how much she puts into them. The stronger she wants the beam to be, the thinner it can be with the same relative effort, so in order to make one of significant power and thickness (like a really powerful cutting laser that could sever limbs in a single hit), she'd be pretty much entirely focused. They last until the energy gets dispersed (she also has no immunity to her own stuff once it's off and going).

The Wanderer felt a fading sensation begin to creep up his legs and realized his time was up. "Rusts. Just when things were starting to get fun," he muttered. Pins and needles heralded the coming sensation loss as it spread up his torso, and he slumped against the wall of the tunnel, head spinning; his shadows were no longer drifting away from him. He closed his eyes as he slid yet further down the sloped tunnel-side, the fading overcoming him. And then he was no longer The Wanderer. Malu jolted awake. "What by the Almighty's Tenth Name just happened? Where am I? Is this...a cave?" He started as someone tapped his shoulder. "Are you...okay?" Malu leaped up and grabbed him by the shoulders. "Where am I and who are you? Did you kidnap me?" His voice began to get a little shrill by the last question. "No, no, you just showed up. After you were denied, I might add. You sliced your way out of the worm thing that attacked us and healed one of our scouting party that just left. You're under the Alleycity right now, and we're exploring the tunnels that were revealed here after the crater incident. My name is Rerin, and I'm an employee of Alleycity Excavation." Malu was left reeling. His counterpart, doing something good? Something nice? Without being asked? Something must be horribly, horribly wrong with the world. How he ended up inside this "worm creature" in the first place would remain a mystery. But... "Crater incident? How long was I gone?" After Rerin caught him up on the events surrounding the crater and Ajax, Malu was even more stunned. He thanked the kind worker and sat back down to think. I guess I'm in deep already. Might as well see it through. That's a first, though, me and him being on the same side. I hope this isn't a mistake.

I would like to submit Eos for rating. I know, talk to Voidus for Epics (and I did that, just haven't heard back yet), but I don't really think she'll be too powerful so I'm just gonna toss her here anyway.

Ah, my bad.

I think that would just be lifespren .

That is about as much information as we have, and it doesn't look like we'll be getting any more info any time soon.

Like using the powers eats away at the various centers of the brain, slowly lobotomizing the user. I don't know how to make that one any clearer. That's a thing that happens with organ donations! Makes sense it would happen if you were delving into someone's mind too. Become one with the moving object, Anakin. Handy Stormlight holders. I mean it makes sense. If the conscious mind isn't there, like it's delving into someone else's mind, the subconscious would be left operating on the primal instincts it contains, with no override. Mind go places, body go feral.

You're gonna regret that. Here we go! Slow lobotomization Merging of conscious and subconscious minds (meaning I hope they know how to manually beat their own heart) Aneurysms Strokes Organ swap syndrome, where the recipient switches certain personality traits (among other things) with the donor. Loss of language capabilities Getting sucked into a feedback loop of memories and sensations Muscular damage upon attempting to mess with something too large Bone embrittlement Flesh and bone temporarily (or permanently, if you really want it interesting) taking on the characteristics of whatever is being altered Crystallization of bone, brain, and eyes Equivalent exchange per physics Equivalent exchange per difficulty Instant retribution (i.e., what they do, also happens to them) The body could go feral while the mind is elsewhere, reduced to base instincts Immune system failure That's all I can think of for now, but I'll edit the post or make another if I come up with other things.

The Wanderer, ensorceled in a meaty, wet, constrictive prison, finally saw his chance. The worm shuddered and stilled as it died, and with that, he could finally summon his Blade without jostling. He cut his way out, glowing Blade sawing back and forth, and clawed his way out. "You can never leave me behind - why am I in a bubble?" He noted the form, bleeding on the ground, and the apparent source of the bubble beside her. "This looks like a fun situation. I don't normally do this, but here." He knelt beside the slumped form of Corette and tapped her on the shoulder, sending a wave of Progression-healing through her. "I want the full story here, and you better make it good." @ZincAboutIt @I Rashek

Before I answer this, @ginger_reckoning, how dark do you want this to go?

Yeah, that's another one. I think I heard one that it comes from outside the star cluster/dwarf galaxy (did we ever get a definitive answer as to which applies?) that makes up the cosmere.

There's one theory that it was Adonalsium's godmetal (even though it's probably not). There's a lot of theories. I just wish we knew.

You can Soulcast things into aluminum, but you can't go the other way with any amount of power that would be feasible, plus it takes (I think) a disproportionate amount of Stormlight.

Human instinct. Remember that Luthadel was in an area with a lot of metal in the ground, leaking into the water supply. That's part of it. Another part is the potential for brass coating on plates and utensils, much the same way that she was getting pewter from that one set of Camon's. As to the correct alloy, that is unlikely, but you get small amounts of power from close-but-incorrect alloys anyway, which could partially be why she had so little. Steel and iron at the time were reserved for people not living beneath a street drain, as Camon's crew was. I would find it doubtful if they had anything that was steel down there, and iron is iffy, too, where a brass cookpot or tin/pewter utensils is much more likely.

Discounting all the flashbacks, I think it's been under two years.

Sig doesn't put up a bunch of false faces like the Lightweavers are supposed to, and while he is somewhat of a scholar, 1) none of the inkspren besides Ivory are open to bonding yet and 2) his tales from other lands that include a moral does not seem to be the kind of thing that would attract their attention. Seems much more Truthwatcher (using knowledge to benefit others) to me. He also seems very Edgedancer-y because he does tend to notice the people that everyone else is ignoring, botht through the tales and the thing like with Lyn while the rest were practicing their squire stuff, where he was paying attention to what she needed instead of zipping around (because he couldn't). I don't agree with that. I like Rock the way he is, and become a Radiant would kind of spoil some of his special-ness. Plus, I really don't think he'd bond an Honorspren if he did, given the Horneaters and their decidedly Cultivation leanings. I think Rock's novella is mostly going to cover how important he actually is at the peaks, because there's no way he isn't someone special.
