    Could be both - the add says ask for K or N (Khriss or Nazh, I expect). My guess then is that some people have had metal tools suddenly start picking up radio transmissions, which in very select circumstances have been audible to humans (the tool just happened to be on a hollow crate that vibrated the right way to generate the sound, for example). K & N, hearing about talking metals and knowing about Nightblood/Spren obviously would want to investigate, even if it turns out to be something mundane. So yeah, I'm gonna assume for now that this was a (rather veiled) hint that the Set had radio technology.

    Perhaps holding Kelsier's power for a short time through the Bands affected her attitude, to some degree? Tapping a little of Kelsier's Identity unintentionally maybe?

    We could be immortals! But not for long...

    Minor thread-necro; apologies. Does anyone know if Amazon UK has the new version of Elantris up for grabs on Kindle, and do I have to buy it again, or does it auto-update?

    Releaser, you are my hero. Reading this on Kindle was painful. EDIT: So, do your metals talk to YOU? What the rusting hell is that all about? Just a bit of colourful nonsense, or a hint of something to come?

    Don't cross the streams!

    Turtles all the way down?

    Get Calibre. It lets you reformat stuff to .amz

    What if Nazh's knife and stool screw didn't glow because, unlike the metals Kell could see across the realms, they were fully inside the Cognitive Realm? Perhaps only metals in the Physical glow?

    storm. I nerdgasmed so hard reading this. Like, even by the end of chapter one. I can't even process it all right now. Someone asked earlier how Kelsier was able to speak with Spook even though Preservation wouldn't grant that power - it's via Connection. Spook BELIEVED in Kell, more fully than anyone, forming a stronger bond of Connection that he could use (it's alluded to in the text somewhere, but not explicit I think).

    You're assuming real-world science applies here. Gravity in the Cosmere works because of spiritual connections. It's been hinted that the nuclear forces may work on similar principles. I see no reason to assume that Realmatics shouldn't interfere with optics or relativity either
  12. Senor Feesh
    What you did there. I see it.

    I seriously doubt you could destroy the ideals. My own personal headcanon has the ideals constantly reinforcing (and being reinforced by) the objects in the physical and cognitive realms, so the more ubiquitous the thing, the stronger/more well-defined the ideal. Of course, there is an inherent not-quite contradiction, as the more prevalent something is in the physical world, the more variations that can exist, so the spiritual ideal will in fact most likely be quite unlike any individual example, but will rather be some kind of abstract distillation of "fire" or "stone" or "human" or what-have-you.

    Maybe? I don't even know, I've never heard the term :S College is where you get intermediate qualifications, University is where you get your Bachelor's degree, or your Masters.
  15. Senor Feesh
    I believe B is correct

    Not even slightly in college (though you guys across the pond confuse me no end by calling it college anyway - here in the UK it's school, then college, then university). I went to all three, dropped out of university in my final year, now I'm just a wage slave

    Well, Skaa were made hardier to be able to endure the ashfalls etc, but humans on Earth have shown a remarkable adaptability when it comes to environment. One can only assume Scadian humans would show the same tenacity.

    Hm. Curiouser and curiouser. I'd argue perhaps that access to the Dor is based on some kind of Cognitive key, rather than the Dor itself being primarily of the Cognitive realm. We already know that AonDor can be hacked to work in other locations, which if it's not tied to region makes sense (you can access it from anywhere with the right regional 'key').

    The Lord Ruler kept them unaltered, as a kind of control group. As it wasn't TLR who created the metallic arts in the first place, it wouldn't make any sense for them NOT to have it in their sDNA.

    Returned are made from Splinters of Endowment. While it's possible that Vasher's Breath may have been a Splinter of Adonalsium instead, I find that HIGHLY unlikely. And as Vasher forged, or at least Awakened Nightblood, then I'm pretty sure we can say Nightblood didn't exist pre-Shattering.

    I'm pretty sure it's intentional (god I hope it's intentional). I did make a callout to it in the other part of the post; writing it another way would be glossing over his mental state rather than exploring it.

    Not gonna sugar-coat it. There are times, working through Kaladin's depression, where the book is a real slog. You might want to quit at times. I didn't so much the first time through, but on the re-reads I have felt that pain. But glossing over it would have been not doing justice to just how much of a slog depression is. Stick with it. You won't be sorry.

    Ah, I kept forgetting to do this. Anyway, relevant quote from elantris re: twisted branch/Dakhor bones. Following is from Elantris *spoiler warning*

    As an enormous pedant, I feel compelled to point out that Shu-keseg, Shu-korath and Shu-dereth are religions, not gods.

    Yeah, as far as current knowledge, there are 16 'basic' metals. Then you have the God-metals plus alloys - we already know about Malatium (Atium+Gold, or the Eleventh Metal). WARNING - POSSIBLE NON-CANON INFO FOLLOWS According to the MAG, Lerasium alloyed with any of the 16 will give an alloy that creates a Misting of that metal (so Lerasium+Steel creates Coinshots). So that's an additional 16 metals, and as Natc points out there could easily be 15 more Atium+basic alloys. We're looking at 16x3 already, before even trying to decide if Harmonium (Sazedium? Sazium?) and its alloys are Allomantically or Ferruchemically (or even Hemalurgically) reactive.
