  1. Could you please convert the Feruchemical metals to their Feruchemical insignia (can be found on the coppermind)?
  2. I love mistborn, and having read all of them at least thrice, I began having some questions that bug me whenever the metals they revolve around even pop in my head. So, here we go: 1. Lerasium makes Mistborn. Could Atium make Feruchemists? (a thread by Windborne Sword, paraphrased) 2. I hate Nicrosil. You store INVESTITURE*? It just seems so ambiguously useless. (*investiture=magical power/ability (like the AonDor/breath and the ability to infuse, burn or store attributes)) 3. I wanna see a Lerasium ferring and a Malatuim one. They are SO STORMING CRYPTIC! 4. Copper's cool. I mean, yeah. It is quite cool. But what in the name of Cusicesh do you get from compounding it? 5. When your metalmind is full and you continue charging it, does nothing happen, or does the attribute just go to waste? These probably should go in the Q&As, but I want your thoughts first.
  3. Note that Gold does NOT have a template of the human body. As far as the eye can see, it might as well healing power, and is directed by the body to correct healing. The body does not reject tattoos and some piercings, you know, so that is, I figure, the distinction. Feruchemical gold, if I am not mistaken, works exactly like sHealing
  4. 1. fine, seem legit. 2. As above 3. I definitely do not buy any of those arguments. Definitely. Szeth is too devoted for one murder (instead of 500+ slaughters, which he's done) to break him. 4. If I recall correctly, there was something like a two spren per order thing in the book. ... After checking with the coppermind, I see it says that orders share surges, which I have interepted as "the share surges and spren, for spren are related to surges" 5. I meant, why does sixteen appear at mistborn, and here it is ten? 6. You have won, fair and square. I don't think you can put spren in fabrials, though. You should check. Jasna is a soulcaster (Shallan's climax reveals it), knows the creatures. Shallan is a soulcaster (she soulcasts twice, once without a soulcaster even AROUND her, both using the creatures) and at the second time she does, it is VERY CLEARLY put that the soulcasting is dependant on the truth she gives HER SYMBOLHEADS. It should be clear that the symbolheads are her radiant bond. (FYI, the cognitive realm does NOT belong to soulcasting) This, added to Occam's razor, means I probably am correct. Full explanation of the Occam instance: Maybe someone is freaking Elhokar out, but it is much less likely that: A. there is a radiant in camp, B. no-one suspects, C. the radian hates his king, D. the radiant thought of that method, E. the radiant had the guts to use it, F. the symbolheads complied, than: Elokhar has the potential or: Elhokar, like Rock, can see all present spren. You get the same Occam's.
  5. I beg to differ. The first quote is an adrenaline rush, for Kal couldn't have had the thrill with absolutely no weapon-related past. The second is already Sylphrena's influence - she was known to prank Kaladin just a bit before that. (I believe premature dun spheres are mentione at about that time, too. also, if he was consuming, he'd feel more - and fainter - things, like minute breezes) The third is complicated. It might have slight thrill influence, but it is mainly composed of stormlight and father issues, as far as my eye can see.
  6. *****SEVERE WARNING******* THIS REPLY IS FULL OF SPOILERS OF THE WORST KIND I don't know of Brightlord Davar's knowledge, but I suspect that: A. Navani is a Soulcaster B. Firespren make fire, Windspren case winds, etc. C. Earth might have existed D. Dalinar will soon become a Windrunner E. Szeth will soon die F. We are missing much of Surgebinding G. Voidbinding does not use spren. What then? H. Kaladin will acquire shards I. Shinovar has normal seasons J. Szeth is truthless because he was bonded, not because of his shards K. We found the magical triad, but where are the sixteens? L. Shards, Fabrials and Voidish magic (along with old magic?) don't work in Sinovar M. Voidish magic might be related to the old magic Rationale: A. Jasna and Elhokar are Soulcasters. What have they in common with Shalan? Passion. Navani is both their mother, and is very passionate. B. When we say the opposite, we give the scientific explanation from Earth. But look at the seasons! They are NOT right, they are completely RANDOM! Also, if the sun is up for 12h (therefore down 12h) and each moon up 4h (therefore down 4h), they MUST be up at DAY, TOO! That is never mentioned, presumably doesn't happen. What's up with THAT? Makes no sense. C. Humans are everywhere (created by the once-human shardholders). I know, very poor rationale, and a poorer theory, but it seems the place where Adonalsium shattered or was or something. Especially when you see Shinovar and the strawberries and chicken and all that. D. (+See E&H) Syl likes Dalinar now, and he is honorable and all that. It increases chances that he will be bonded be an Honorspren. Plus, Szeth is assassinating him, and he, Adolin and Kaladin are too important E. (+See D&H) It has to happen sometime, Dalinar, Adolin and Kal are too improtant, Teravangion can't die and won't give the stone. F. Aren't there supposed to be two Spren to each radiant? What draws each Spren? (Symbolheads (Passionspren?) seem to search passion and want truth, Honorspren seem to search honor and want humanity, what else?) G. Spren are of Honor, Void is of Odium, the two are enemies. I suppose the Voidish magic is the old magic H. (+See D&E) He can, and Renarin is still waiting for his. I. It is, supposedly, a model of earth. J. He wouldn't have been bonded if he was a shardbearer, the shards have been given to him by the Shin K. (+See G&M) Spren magic (Radiant) - Stormlight magic (Fabrials) - old/Voidish magic (?) L. (+See C&I) Maybe the moons and night could be different, too? M. (+See G&K) Kolo? Sources: A. Elhokar mentions (at Adolin's duel, during the dandelion era) that he sees, in mirrors, assassins with twisted heads of symbols, a very specific Symbolhead description. B. The only set season is the wheeping. Read Kal's flashbacks C. The other cosmere books D. The freeing of the bridgemen ​H. The flashbacks - Kal does kill a full SB J. Syl's Shard-hatred All Other Ones: General knowledge/Logic Kolo? Critics (especially constructive ones), thoughts and responses are welcome.
  7. There are ten kinds of Surgebinding, but are they on different "strengths"? Is this the question? We know there are four ideals. The first is a moral guideline (presumably, for I have read Kalad ininfuses before, and when he says this ideal, there is no clear "level up"), the second (at least for windrunners) is a clear, distinct "level up", and I think the other two are similar to the second. Just putting some facts on the table.
  8. Reminder: the Letter (from WoK) states that "Ati was once a kind and generous man, and you saw what became of him". We are talking Ati here, NOT Ruin. I think there is an intentional connection, especially knowing the Sandersonian style. Kolo?
  9. They are NOT spiked. They only have some lineage. Therefore, it probably means the same as unspiked, "clean" humans. The spike's effectiveness. Allomantic example (simpler): Marge is an extremely powerful Pewterarm (Thug). Bart outspikes (taking her powers and life) her, and after two years inspikes himself. He will gain much less power from the same nuggets than she used to. This holds for short periods as well, just less noticeably. Feruchemic example (partially guessing): Lisa is a keeper. As all keepers, she struggles with storing health and speed, which are difficult to store. However, she manages a cut's worth each week. When Maggie takes her powers, accidentally leaving the spike out for too long, she has the same difficulty, except she can scrounge up about a scratch per month.
  10. What is the effect of copper compound? In Mistborn: Alloy of Law, it is said that there are 14 metals. added to the two gnats (get nothings - aluminum and durralamin), we have 16, NOT INCLUDING GOD METALS (Larasium, Atiumn, Mal-Atiumn (although Larasium is not really counted)). In the Hero of Ages, one of every SIXTEEN miststruck is an Atiumn misting, when it should be one of each EIGHTEEN, or NONE (it is a god metal). It is implied that Larasium has a different effect on mistborn. What is it? (he probably won't tell us) Every metal requires training for perfection and full understanding and skill. What does copper training do? The basic lashing makes no sense: one down means adding another you the weight, while one up means reducing two (1-2= -1 (-1 means opposite direction)) What does a Larasium hemulergic spike do? How about a Larasiummind? How come some shards splintered, both during shardclashes and not (note Honor), and neither Ruin nor Preservation spliteredwduring their clash? If I condense, as a Firesoul, my brassmind (warmth) to a short amount of time, would I be able to burn things? Why are pewter (strength) and steel (speed) feruchemy seperate, while all senses are tin? Why does every sense need it's own tinmind (demonstrated in the beggining of Well of Ascension, I believe)? Also, Marsh mentions that spiking a mistborn to add his duralamin to a living inquisitor is ineffective, since it means getting only that. However, according to classification, spiking using aluminum will grant all allomantic enhancement metals (Chromium, Nicrosil, Aluminum AND Dualamin). Which is truer? I swallow metal, it can't be pulled. I put metal in my mouth, it can't be pulled. I put metal in my ear as an earing, it can't be pulled. I cup metal completely, it can be pulled. Why is this the line? The earing never pierced me - I got pierced by wood, and this metal earing was inserted into the empty hole, surrounded in flesh. Just like when cupped in my hand. Baffeling, eh? This is it, so far.
  11. I started with Mistborn, and read the whole series at least five times. Due to that, I have some inconsistencies I want to note, along with questions. For now, I shall ask the most pressing question: compounding. It makes sense, until you go metal by metal and see the flaw. What is the effect of copper compound?
