  1. Let's see...Elantrian (200 pts) + Feruchemist (192 pts) + Lerasium Mistborn (300 pts) + 4th Oath Elsecaller (300 pts) all for 992 pts and let's throw in being a Kandra (5 pts) with the First Heightening (1 pt) to round it out a bit
  2. They aren't likely to start carpet bombing their own cities to take you out unless you start going on a crazy power trip first. At least in democracies.
  3. I think governments would be afraid to anger a Fullborn if they know how powerful they are. Sure a government could theoretically take down a Fullborn, but a Fullborn almost certainly could kill a sizeable number of the government's leadership long before that happens. A Fullborn would be the ultimate guerilla war combatant. An example, imagine the US tries take down a Fullborn. The Fullborn would easily be able to able to escape any ground based assaults. Fullborn superspeeds themselves to DC assaults Congress and The White House. Considering Wax was able blow through a stone wall by Pushing on the trace metals, I doubt there are any barriers that would truly be able to stop them. Even if DC leadership has vacated to a safe location, Fortune will almost certainly let them know what they need to do next. Powerful Soothing/Rioting to make people talk like TLR was able to make Vin talk, a Fullborn is an army unto themselves.
  4. Here is a link to a spanish Arcanum Unbound. Like @Frustration said, it will have Emperor's Soul in it, plus other novellas https://www.amazon.com/Arcanun-Ilimitado-Unbounded-colección-Collection/dp/8466662324?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=c9c481ed-283d-4eb5-99db-afacee907c05
  5. We don't really know why people want Aviars so badly. We've only seen two varieties so far. Considering Scadrians, which have A-Copper already want them, there has to be very useful abilities we don't know about. And considering that they have been traded since at least the time frame of Stormlight, yeah they are probably very well known While possibly true, Sazed's namedrop seems more like Hoid talking to himself than intentionally bringing him up, and SotD sequel makes it clear that First of the Sun inhabitants have been learning more about the wider Cosmere (even if in a limited fashion) so it could make sense for them to know what a Nahel Bond is. The reference to the Aviar though sounds like a story only natives would be familiar with I'm sure they have many of the same animals, the only wildlife truly unique to Scadrial that we know about are Mistwraiths
  6. I originally thought Huck was a product of Hemalurgy. A tiny Copper Spike to staple the Cognitive aspect of a human onto a rat
  7. Oh I've long since considered AonDor to be the most powerful magic system
  8. Properties of Silver that we know for sure about Can harm Threnodite Shades Reverse the Shade's effects if applied quickly enough It deteriorates when used against against Shades or to heal the woulds inflicted by them Can be used to make wards against them Are used in the construction of chains used to anchor during Cognitive Anomalies Can harm Spren Kill Aether Spores with proximity and harm manifest Aethers through touch It looks like the most common aspect is its relationship with living Investiture A shot in the dark but what if Silver purifies Investiture of Identity?
  9. Technically none of the Shards made their magic systems, they arise naturally. Also, the only Voidbinding we've seen so far is Renarin's use of Illumination
  10. It's likely between Era 3 and 4 of Mistborn. Likely closer to Era 4 because of literal space ships. My guess is that TotES takes place before SotD and that the story is being told during SotD sequel considering the comment from Hoid to the audience about ships landing
  11. Primarily their armed forces score.
  12. I think you underestimate just how much industrial warfare would lay waste to forces like Sel, Nalthis, or Roshar. A hundred Sadrian soldiers with the automatic guns that Scadrial has could kill thousands of medieval soldiers. Scadrial is easily in terms of offensive power one of the 3 strongest worlds that we have seen.
  13. I feel that the missiles should bump up Scadrial's fire power. Wax mentioned them as having a range of 40 miles, and they would almost certainly be too fast for most other worlds to handle. Compared to Sel's and Roshar's current medieval war strategies, that's devastating. As we've seen, leadership stays very close to the front lines
  14. Maybe some of them like Re-Shephir, but others do seem to be quite distinct from the Aethers like Nergaoul
  15. She's also a cowardly petty bully. Having a planet of backwater people she could lord over seems like right up her alley
  16. Yup Ah ok, I see what you were thinking Now the image of a meat sea is in my head
  17. There are in my opinion three primary clues as to who he was. His reaction to seeing Tress for the first time since being turned into a rat, how he went on and on when telling his story about sneaking off the boat, and his desperate attempts to get Tress to turn back and then immediately reversal to go with her off the ship because he could keep her safe
  18. Nothing bad with being surprised by the surprise
  19. Tension has been implied to grant superhuman strength and two of the three ostensibly human characters who've demonstrated true superhuman strength have access to it. And as for the third, I could see Rock becoming a Stoneward
  20. TotES is totes cool. I'll see the whole Shard suffer
  21. I don't know when I first truly suspected it, but I did notice how he reacted when he first saw her face on the Oot's Dream. I think I figured it out though around when they neared the Midnight Sea
  22. I expect many terrible jokes in the future
  23. Oltux72 was referring to me saying Aluminum grounds Investiture I think Also I wasn't aware of that WoB. Perhaps Silver acts as anathema to Cognitive Investiture for lack of a better term. Silver chains are used for protection during Cognitive Anomalies
  24. No, but all listed properties have been identical. Plus I just brought it up as a likely possibility that has been mentioned in the forums. By their very nature the Unmade had to have been something else before, and with the introduction of Midnight Aether, it is now the most likely candidate. The reason I started this thread though was to bring up that Essences and Aethers show us that there is another underlying nature to Investiture like how Investiture reacts to metal
  25. Aluminum grounds Investiture, this would explain why it works so well as an insulator. Silver seems to have some effect on, I don't quite want to say Corrupted Investiture, but entities that have been corrupted in some way
