I was only wondering because the limb is still attached to a living body, so I wasn't sure if that made a difference.

That's like saying that taking a handful of dirt into space makes the Earth smaller. It is technically true, but also completely meaningless.

What happens if you cut someones limb twice? If it's already "dead", does it get cut off instead?

I wonder if Melishi killed himself when he saw the results of what he did. We can be reasonably sure that none of the Bondsmith spren are deadeyes, so something had to have happened to him before the Recreance.

I bet a Bondsmith could trap them in the gemhearts that they inhabit, then kill the bodies and keep the gem hearts locked up somewhere. Basically, the knife that killed Jezrien without the knife.

In reference to the Mistborn stuff in the spoiler tag. As for Hoid being a Shard/QuasiShard/Other, The Letter gives us a pretty good clue as to his feeling about being a Shard, specifically, Egli's response.

@Karger I don't know if Roshar will have a need for electricity. Most of what we do with electricity now could be achieved with fabrials instead. Relevant WoB, spoilered for Mistborn and Whitesand Seems like a good reason to keep a Bondsmith in residence.

I'm pretty sure you would just be on the other side of the world.

Use fabrials to make a platform fly. Keep it over the Highstorm at all times so that it never runs out of Stormlight. Expand it until you have a flying city that moves with the Highstorm. New and improved headquarters of the Knights Radiant, where they always have access to their powers. It would pretty much be a Rosharan Elantris.

It's also possible that Cultivation is the origin of some of those other religions. Mistborn Era 2 spoilers

I expect the Stonewards to have an oath like the end of the pararescueman's creed, "That others may live".

I can't believe I forgot The Lord Mistborn. Lefting I'm Born - I have to go with Dustbringer (Brave, Obedient) Survivor of the Flames says everything for brave. He spends most of the first two books getting bossed around and doesn't seem to mind that much for obedient. Post the end of the world I lean more towards Bondsmith (Pious, Guiding) He's always had faith in Kelsier, and he is the leader of the new world. Leading isn't guiding, but they're fairly similar. Leaving his book behind for future generations could be guiding as well I guess.

I would be very surprised (and disappointed) if aluminum killed Adonalsium. I would expect the murder weapon to be more related to Spiritual Connection, as it is the only force (that I can think of) we have seen directly effect Shards. The orb that Kelsier stole from the Ire and the Oathpact being prime examples.

I promised myself I wouldn’t derail any more threads talking about this topic, so I will agree to disagree.

Something like these I imagine. Oath 2: "I will stay the course, I will not falter" Oath 3: "I will have the wisdom to question my choices, even when I believe they are right" One of the oaths will probably have to do with building where others destroy. I'm going off of the Divine Attributes of the Willshapers for this, Resolute and Builder.

Usually UPS, but sometimes Fedex and USPS. USPS is unreliable from my experience and costs the same. Also, could we get this thread back on topic? It's supposed to be about shipping...

I saw someone do TWOT characters in the necro'd Radiant thread and it made me want to do it. Basing this off of divine attributes again. Spoilered because this is a Cosmere thread.

I’ll never understand “He didn’t go to Mare, He’s selfish” argument. If someone loses a loved one, are they selfish for not killing themselves to join them? Kelsier learned that there actually is an eternal afterlife, and decided to explore this world for a little while longer. Seems pretty normal to me.

Worried about losing small piece aluminum because he's careless. Willing to die for it. I imagine the real reason is that if he did use an aluminum vial, enemies couldn't push his metals, and that wouldn't work for some of the scenes.

Rayse wins and destroys Roshar. Everyone but him dies.

Wasing the stick.

@Invocation @Calderis Even still, Wax is rich. If he can line a hat with it, he can line a tiny little vial with it. Aluminum Pez dispenser. The Pez are metal.

I still can figure out why they keep their metals in glass vials. Put the rusting metal in an aluminum tube for Harmony's sake! So tired of coinshots pushing the protagonists metals away. As for storing your metals in gum, it would be a handy way to prevent spills. If you're a dummy and don't keep your metals in aluminum vials, this could save you when someone else breaks your glass vials. Instead of licking your fish oil/metal flake mixture off the floor, you can just 5 second rule the gum and kick some chull.

I think that might actually be the sound you make as you cross the event horizon. You can see how the E's get closer together as time dilates. Need more testing to confirm.
