Hello, everyone! I've been invited to an indev project to create the Cosmere in Minecraft! Sadly no server exists at the moment, but there IS a discord page where the project is just starting! Updates will be posted! The discord page for the upcoming server: https://discord.gg/edn3hPj

We'll have to add that to the list of questions to ask Brandon.

As I posted it, I started to. And then I realized that I hadn't actually written it out on this site. I wrote it up and posted it, here's the link. Feel free to submit any ideas! Edit: And of course, in my excitement, I still forgot the link. Here it is for REAL this time.

I'm just going to do away with the spoilers box here, because it would literally contain everything after this sentence throughout the entire thread. This is a question of theory validity. I have evidence to back it up, but I want to see whether or not it's at all realistic. There are also a few things that I'm not quite sure how they would line up. I'll just dive straight into it: Shardblades and Shardplate are made of aluminum. I know it might sound ridiculous, or maybe just random, but there is some evidence to back it up. In mistborn era two, it becomes very obvious that aluminum is an investiture block. People wearing aluminum can't be manipulated emotionally, and, more importantly to this theory, aluminum can't be pushed or pulled on. This is so important because the surge of gravitation is so similar to the external physical metals. Now, if aluminum can't be pushed or pulled, and is similar to gravitation, it would stand to reason that gravitation would not affect aluminum either. Now, in Oathbringer, we have evidence of Szeth's claim, very early on in the series, that shardplate can't be lashed. When the Fused are carrying of Moash's plate, they have to carry it by two ropes instead of lashing it directly. This suggests, separate to what happens in Words of Radiance, which is an entirely separate matter, albeit which also supports this theory, that lashings simply don't work on shardplate. There must be a connection of some sort. Then there are two pieces of evidence to be found in Words of Radiance, as well. The first is to be found when Kaladin and the other bridgemen are training with and against shardblades under Zahel, they comment that it is heavier than they expected, and Zahel explains that while it is much heavier than what others may have implied, it is still much lighter than a sword of it's size should be. He says that a sword that looks like it has two or three times as much steel in it would be heavier, not lighter. Therein lies the reason. Shardblades are so light because they are not made of steel at all, but rather out of a tempered form of aluminum. The second is during Adolin's disadvantage duel, when Kaladin, after making use of the shardplate helm as a glove for blocking blades, it 'eats' his stormlight. Kaladin lurches to a halt when he suddenly finds it gone. This is extremely similar to the occurrence in Mistborn: The Final Empire, when Vin is forced to burn a nugget of aluminum. She finds her investiture has vanished, similar to the realization that Kaladin comes to in this scene. In both cases, the evidence shows that aluminum drains investiture into itself. If shardplate can also accomplish it, there is a possibility that it is due to it's nature as aluminum, not because it needs it to perform self-repair. What I still don't understand, however, is how plate and blades can have effects using investiture, despite blocking it. It might have something to do with the fact that Aluminum can be used for feruchemy, which is another bit that I don't understand. If anyone has any ideas about this, please let me know. I'd love to have a full theory with solid evidence on all sides to get a WoB on this one.

See my theory about the reason why shardplate and shardblades are so light. And no, it's not because Edit: This is probably a thread necro, but I don't really care. I had something I wanted to add, really badly, so I did.

Hardcover version (does it make a difference that I was pre-ordering it in the US?), in the table of contents, it says book two instead of book three.

261: In the event that (one of) the main characters is killed, run. If the villain was powerful enough to kill them, you are screwed.

Granted. You learn how to create cold fusion. You immediately attempt to create cold fusion, and succeed. However, what you didn't learn is that creating cold fusion between any two atoms would release enough explosive energy to destroy the universe. You blow yourself, and everyone else in existence, to smithereens. I wish to instantly know if someone is lying to me.

I'll have to admit, that is possible, although I'm not very much onboard with that theory. I actually am not all that familiar with the Sons of Honor. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't they trying to bring about the desolations in hopes that the Radiants will also return? My more likely theory is that all of those Blades just didn't exist. If you remember, when Kaladin "killed" Syl, he didn't make her into a blade first, causing a "deadblade". (Terms in quotations are terminology that I am unsure of.) It is very possible (and I think likely) that many of the Radiants "killed" their spren without forming blades.

Granted, but you must eat all of it today. (You have been cursed with a paradox) Edit: I wish for sarcasm to cease to exist.

Uhh I don't know what this means. Granted, but the resulting number is divided by zero. I wish for the ability to make people say anything I want. Oh, wait. Never mind. I can already do that. See: I wish for no one to fact check anything said by me, and just assume that it is true.

I don't want just any Elsecaller blade, I want Adolin's shardblade in particular. That project looks really cool, but I don't need tips. I was just wondering if anyone had a premade plan. I'll make one myself and post it up later for anyone else who wants it.

Granted, but the doll is super creepy, and no one else can hear it, so everyone thinks you are crazy. And the doll gives terrible advice. I wish to die for one week, go to whatever afterlife is real, and then come back to life.

Granted, but every time you try to use some of it, it spills on you, and as soon as it touches you it dries. There is also no way to unglue anything once it has been glued by this glue. I wish to be able to do whatever I want with no negative consequences, for me or anyone else.
