Here's the full list if you want to see them all!

That's...a layered question. A good midpoint would be for her to read Warbreaker first. If she thinks ahem "certain parts" are too brutal then SA might not be for her. If she's fine with it, SA should be just fine. Plus, reading Warbreaker first has a special tie-in to SA anyway so it's probably a good idea to read it first anyway.

That is your Reputation level. Everyone gets Reputation points to give out (20 per day!) by clicking the yellow arrow in the bottom right of a post you like. Each rank changes what that says.

Malu grabbed his bag from under the rubble of the smashed bar section and pulled a knife out, hesitating, struggling with himself. Finally, dragged out of him, came a confession. "I can't do this anymore," he muttered, carving a message into the bartop that remained. CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE HELP YOURSELF Message finished, he slung the pack onto his shoulder and walked out of the hole in the wall. New experiences awaited, even if being there meant leaving his tavern behind. Maybe someday he'd see it again.

I'll be doing some research tomorrow to find something I can do, reading through all the threads and stuff.

That's assuming all Shards can even manifest avatars in the same way Autonomy does. It's very possible they can't.

These? If so, the key in the first two is "not originally." That could mean a lot of things where Sandman is concerned.- 14 replies

Hello! Welcome to the Shard! Who's your favorite Mistborn character, from either Era?

Culitivation's Vessel's Species
Invocation replied to Tiberius Gracchus's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I wish we knew the answer to that. Given, though, that Adonalsium created the singers, there was probably some overlap but likely not much.- 14 replies

Culitivation's Vessel's Species
Invocation replied to Tiberius Gracchus's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I don't think she's a singer. Singer have their own genders traditionally, malen and femalen, so I'm not sure if that has any bearing on it. Plus, this WOB seems to imply that there were the three races on Yolen that were present but nobody from off-world. Granted, it's not concrete.- 14 replies

An aluminum body would help slightly, but the flesh is going to still go dead. All that'll happen is the Blade either jars to a halt on contact with aluminum or there's enough velocity behind it to cut through anyway, which is possible depending the strength of the swing and resilience of the aluminum. (At least if I recall which one of the two WOBs is canon correctly.) Bone doesn't add to muscle strength, no, but with no bones, they're going to have issues moving the arm in the same way as one that has a skeletal backing for reinforcement. Granted, a kandra could mitigate that to some degree, but there's limits to that.
-
The trick there is that they probably don't have enough bones for that, so it'll really just be a big meaty tube. Not very useful, easy to disable with another quick Shardblade swipe.

Yep! That's a thing like with most of the Radiants we've seen so far. Likely due to a mix of spren being semi-fourth dimensional beings so time means nothing to them except as a platform to move on and due to the similar effects of the Spiritual Realm. In short, things echo across time.

Spiritual Adhesion could do some funky things.

That could be one way to do it, but it's certainly not the only one. Soulsever the section that holds their memories and they won't remember what they were doing and they're at your leisure. Sever the section that has their primary cognitive functions (assuming they can't split that portion into smaller chunks) and they essentially be lobotomized and die eventually. Find the portion of the brain that determines their breathing and heartbeat functions and sever that, then they slowly suffocate or suffer heart failure. Ironically, this particular "strength" of the kandra leaves them exceptionally vulnerable to things like Shardblades because they're used to being able to heal everything immediately.

"Not _____" monsters are monsters that mimic but pretty much Uncanny Valley themselves into you knowing they're not what they seem to be. "Not _____ anymore" monsters are self-explanatory - something corrupted from what it once was and is barely recognizable as what it was. "Not _____ anymore and maybe never was" monsters make you think they're something but changes from that into something unrecognizable that you would never have connected with the first thing if you hadn't seen it transform. So what's your favorite, Sharders?
-
That doesn't disqualify this theory. Assisted evolution is still evolution. Perhaps the bond was forming already, and Ishar just sped it along.

SA 4 Reading Here you go! It only happened recently, at the San Diego Comic Con and he sent that from Spain.
-
Welcome to the Shard! Have you listened to Sandman's excerpt reading from 4 yet? Also, have you read any of the other cosmere books?

Kandra have a nervous system, it's just different than the one in humans and significantly more malleable, so probably the same thing that happens to anything else.

There's someone in Alloy of Law, during the Yomin-Ostlin wedding, that was talking to the wedding couple and was described as "a scruffy beggar dressed in all black." So I'm pretty sure this is Hoid, but I just reread Warbreaker and it threw me off a little. Please put this to rest for me, one way or the other.

Remember that what they define as plants does not necessarily line up with with modern science reveals about what actually makes a plant. Due to this flaw, it is likely that fungi fall under the same category as plants due to the presence of a cell wall in all true forms of fungi.
