In terms of conventional military power? Scadrial would destroy Roshar. There is a reason Hoid mentioned to Jasnah how infantry doesn't last against more modern weaponry. In terms of Invested military power? Roshar in several ways has the edge do to the higher raw power, though without a Bondsmith to empower the Radiants they would run out of Stormlight relatively quickly so they would be most useful in assaults meant to destroy Scadrian military infrastructure. I think whoever is the aggressor would be the one at a major disadvantage and most likely would lose.

When Dalinar saw his Spiritual aspect it was described as a violet fire
-
When Odium (Rayse specifically) manifested in physical form he has a white and gold color scheme
-
I'm fairly convinced Trell is Autonomy and that this book is going to be the introduction of Autonomy in the main books. Though it would be interesting if somehow Trell was an Avatar of Autonomy that was "Unmade" by Odium
-
I think it's hard to truly hate if you aren't passionate about things, though I don't think he's the only Shard that has passion in its purview. I could imagine Valor also having a great deal to do with passion as well
-
We still unfortunately don't know enough about what Nicrosil Feruchemy does to make a good guess. WoB has indicated that it is more flexible than we've seen. The most popular theory I think for Copper Compounding is that it duplicates memories. Edit: also, welcome to the Shard!
-
I'm thinking it's one of those things that they have all the pieces for but haven't quite put those pieces together. Or the method is still early enough in its infancy to that it hasn't been put into an industrial level yet
-
It's been implied that the destruction of Ashyn involved a Dawnshard, which vastly enhances the use of Investiture. So that's not exactly a good example to use
-
Preservation and Cultivation have proven to be good at it. Honor is the worst that we've seen.

Steel Compounder/Edgedancer. Infinite speed and extra strong healing
-
To be fair, we don't know what Nicrosil Feruchemy actually does yet. Brandon has said it's not as limited as the medallions so there is most likely more to it. Personally, I think if someone mastered Aluminum Allomancy they would be able to make themselves immune to all sorts of hostile Investiture

Could you Form a Shardblade inside someone?
StanLemon replied to JustQuestin2004's question in Cosmere Q&A
I'd have to reread the scene with Tyn, but I would imagine that the innate Investiture in people would mess up the summoning process. -
would you rather Mistborn or Feruchemist
StanLemon replied to CosmicShard8002's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I'd go Full Feruchemist. While lacking some of the cooler powers of Mistborn, it would be far more convenient overall in my opinion -
I imagine Tension would be fantastic for liquids
-
We already kind of see it in Malatium, the internal nature of Gold that shows you your own past gets inverted and becomes an external vision of other people's past
-
I wasn't so much thinking anti-Investiture, but inverting the effect of the Investiture
-
I think that argument could have been made until RoW. Now I think Jasnah is truly taking the reigns and making it a proper monarchy which she probably plans on converting to a democracy of some kind
-
I'd like it if Atium's true Allomantic power is inverting Investiture
-
I'd say it's entirely reasonable to believe that they can do that. It's probably a matter of Intent, like how perception and Intent can change how the blue lines are seen with Steel and Iron Allomancy for instance.

The Bands prove that a LOT of Investiture can be stored into small amounts of metal. The spearhead was only slightly larger than the palm of a hand if I recall the size description right, and it was made of multiple pieces of metal (16? More because of Tin and Bendalloy?) and yet enough Investiture was in it to be stupidly powerful. I personally have guessed that it's something like larger pieces of metal are easier to store more with less effort, though I find the idea that altering the metal's Spiritual aspect fascinating. If this is possible, that might be almost as game breaking for Feruchemy as Compounding is. Exponentially so if a Compounder does have access to this
-
This is exciting
-
I am curious as to the limit for F-Pewter on a normal human. The one in BoM became enormous according to Wax with a neck as thick as a man's thigh. And when Sazed used it in WoA it sounded like he became massive and was even described as comparable in size to a Koloss. The description implied that his bodily structure and not just his muscles transformed from tapping strength
-
Yeah, the Metallic Arts are my favorite but I too would love more Warbreaker. I'd especially love to see more nuanced Awakening things
-
To be fair, it has been half a decade since the the last Mistborn book came out
-
There are two main ways I can see using Feruchemy to enhance Allomancy. Compounding Connection to Preservation or Compounding one's ability to be an Allomancer
