    Windspren love to pull pranks.

    Or it could be that he sees a cryptic and then starts channeling someone else.

    The extra 650 pages are just repurposed scenes cut from Wheel of Time. Kaladin tugs his braids for a chapter

    The thing is, Shallan says that she's cultivating the memories on the page. It's a weird word to use and that makes me think it's a cultivation magic.

    I thought Nalizar had to be guilty, since otherwise he'd be Snape.

    There's a difference between 'being a part of a shard' and 'being a splinter'. There's a threshold below which you aren't a splinter - lerasium mistborn for instance have a chunk of Preservation, but aren't splinters - but they're closer to being one than, say, a misting.

    The 'presumably' is my own speculation - the crystals are fragile enough that it's conceivable that they could shatter unrelated reasons, and using tin just gave kelsier the ability to notice it. Anyway, Brandon wrote that comment almost a year before Hero of Ages was released, so it isn't like there was a particularly big time gap.

    Splinters are a mix of cognitive and spiritual with very little physical.
  10. Phantom Monstrosity
    Yeah odium didn't leave any of his own power on Sel.
  11. Phantom Monstrosity
    Brandon said on TWG that Tin doesn't shatter them - which is why the Lord Ruler tossed Mare in. Presumably the crystals near Kelsier were breaking for some other reason (maybe the freed skaa dropped a caravan of those big heavy steelplated carts into the pit, causing the ground to shake) and the Tin just gave kelsier the ability to hear it.

    I'm pretty sure Divine Breaths aren't sentient. Also, most of the splinters on Sel are mindless apparently.

    An answer for this came out during May

    Well, if you're storing health and have a scarred over stump, the arm doesn't become any more or less missing naturally. You're not losing out on any natural healing. On the other hand, let's say you've got a cut that would normally take a week to heal. If you store health, your normal rate of healing is impaired, and your cut doesn't heal up at all. Best case scenario is that you store health for 3.5 days and tap health for 3.5 days, and end up where you started. Worst case is the extra cost for compounding means you don't have it fully healed up at the end of the week, since you lost some efficiency on the extra healing.
  15. Phantom Monstrosity
    Well, using less Health at once is more efficient. I figure the easiest explanation is 'you get scarring if you stop the healing process partway'. It's probably like how it takes time for the muscles to deflate when you use feruchemical strength - the dregs of your gold reserve just do a quick patchup on whatever they're working on, so you don't regenerate half an arm and then bleed to death. And yeah you should be able to eventually regrow an arm by storing health and then tapping it - though phantom limb syndrome would probably help in that regard. The point about tinminds/benadlloyminds is, let's say you have a piece of metal with no feruchemical charge. Clearly you have the ability to say 'I want to store water' or 'I want to store sight' or 'I want to store touch' - which is more than just 'Store amount 0 to 100?'
  16. Phantom Monstrosity
    Sazed gets scars when using feruchemical healing.
  17. Phantom Monstrosity
    So let's say I have exactly one unit of feruchemical healing. I need three hundred to regenerate a full arm. If I'm understanding you right, if I tap one unit, it'll regrow the whole arm, but take a very long time to do it?
  18. Phantom Monstrosity
    The Lord Ruler also gets a hunched spine and starts coughing when he gets super old.

    Steinmetz is more of a mad scientist by far. Read a biography of him. Really fascinating life story.
  20. Phantom Monstrosity
    If you're using copper, tin, nicrosil or bendalloy, all of those allow for more control than just rate. And let's say you lose all the skin off your back. You need to, say, tap 300 units of health to regrow it instantly. You tap 150 units. What happens? Do you partially regrow all the skin across your back (turning it into a mass of partially healed scar tissue), or do you fully regrow only half the skin, leaving you with a gaping wound across half your back?

    Lemex says that buying up a ton of breath made him spry, despite his age. The loss of joint flexiblity is a symptom of aging - so having a lot of breath not only slows your rate of aging, but also offsets the effects of it.
  22. Phantom Monstrosity
    The metric for compatibility in that quote is clearly 'similarity of intent'. Ie: which shards combined with Ruin would be less likely to alter Ruin's personality.
  23. Phantom Monstrosity
    Nah, if you will to put a shardblade down, or if a guy who has one dies, you can just lie it down on a table.
  24. Phantom Monstrosity
    Uh, no, I was saying that scar healing takes less time, and regeneration takes more. And Marsh didn't take all the spikes from all the dead inquisitors, so...
  25. Phantom Monstrosity
    My point is, even without getting across the threshold, an 80 year old guy with 500 Breath has the spryness of, say, a 50 year old guy. t's clear that you've got increases in function beyond just 'you'll go from 80 to 90 more slowly' and 'you don't get sick', since loss of flexibility is an age-related thing.
