Hm I'd forgotten that Yesteel had learned how to make awakened swords. I wonder what command Hoid's sword would have. "Be Oboxious" maybe.

Oh I'm not saying it's impossible that Hoid held nightblood at some point, just that there really isn't evidence for it. Brandon could have easily just been amused that people were looking for Nightblood in SA. Perhaps someone should ask Brandon if Vasher had nightblood when he arrived on Roshar. If he lost it prior to coming to Roshar then Hoid would be the likliest candidate for taking it. As he's one of the few people powerful enough to take anything from Vasher and then planethop to Roshar. If Vasher DID have Nighblood when he arrived then he really could have lost it in any number of ways.

Nightblood. Duh Everything with Hoid. Always. The final battle between Kaladin and Szeth Regarding the hated love triangle: Don't worry. in book 4 Odium reveals that he is Kaladin's father, and that he has a twin sister...

Ah but that glorious moment when you finally become a sharder and realize that Brandon's books are even more spectacular than you thought. Awespren abound.

That's also why he has so much rep, he links to old discussions

Nightblood is far more heavily invested than a Shardblade, Brandon says this. Nightblood will definitely come out on top, but I don't think it will be auto-death for the spren. Probably the shardblade would be "dispersed" for a while, knocking the spren out of the physicl realm, and being distinctly unpleasant.

You got to it before I did. Yeah I know I read SOMEWHERE that someone good enough with bronze and who knew what they were looking for could sense things other than allomancy. Im betting it works with all forms of investiture. It worked with the WoA after all, which is just pure investiture, not actually allomancy. I wonder if chromium and nicrosil would work on people holding stormlight....

Vasher is also able to hide the effects of his breathes. There is still a lot about that magic system that we don't know.

I'm glad he finally answered this one. I asked more or less the same question and he just said "Harmony is two shards in one". Which told me exactly nothing. So this is +1 to Sazed being the most powerful thing in the Cosmere? That's how I'm taking it. *Edit* If I were Sazed, I'd look at Odium and say: "I'm going to preserve the people you seek to kill by ruining you. Let's get it on."

WOB is that he uses feruchemy to figure out where he needs to be to intercept important events. There's no evidence that he has an awakened sword though, or that he ever held Nightlbood, particularly given that Vasher is present on Roshar.

In my experience no. They put them out around 9-10am. So unless they put it out the day before then you aren't likely to find it at midnight. Of course different stores could run on different schedules. Personally I'm ordering it for the Nook. They seem to have the quickest release times.

Also per the high-res image on that page, Shallan is freakin gorgeous. Edit: And Kaladin has a mullet.

So I'll be ordering a digital copy of this. Because I like to read in random places and it's a lot easier to do that on a tablet than it is to carry around a 60lb book. But I also want it as early as possible. Does anyone know what the delivery times are for the various e-vendors? I've waited until midday on the day of release for a book from Amazon to come available before. So what are people's experiences? B&N? Or some other vendor?

I don't have anything that runs iOS so I can't play the games. The novels are pretty great though. Feather I would totally support a write up of IB3

Haha there are so many different opinions. The only thing everyone really agrees on is that Sanderson is awesome. Personally I've read everything he's *published* (and one ot two things he hasn't) with the exception of Alkatraz and the Infinity Blade stuff. It's all good, but certain works will appeal to different people. My advice is this: If you've read The Name of the Wind why in god's name was Wise Man's Fear not at the top of your list? You should already be reading it. The Wheel of Time could conceivably take you years to finish if you're a very slow reader. It's worth it, especially since WoK is your favorite book, but that's your decision As for Sanderson. Read it all, I doubt you'll regret any of it.

Darnam posted exactly what I was going to post haha

My first thought was that they might look something like Aoens, not exactly Aoens because those are unique to that particular area of Sel, but perhaps a similar structure. Although after you mentioned impossible shapes, like perhaps an Escher drawing that does seem more likely to me.

Wasn't prof always present when they used the Harmsway? He could have just been gifting them while it was being used. Your point with the Jacket is valid. I assume Prof would have no way of knowing when one of them takes off their jacket during a mission. Also Megan didn't seem to have a problem using hers. So in that case it does seem likely that the prof bonded his power to the jacket rather than the person.

I don't think Prof's healing ability qualifies as always on. I think it only engaged when needed.

Don't forget that Epics also age more slowly than normal humans. She could be fairly older than David thinks.

1) I would have no specific powers myself. However when any Epic uses their powers against me I steal their entire power set and they become human. I have their powers until they die. So I have to keep them locked up safe. 2) My weakness would correlate to the weakness of which ever Epic's powers I am using at that moment. 3) Name would either be: Reaver, Harvester or Downfall. 4) I would go into a psychotic rage when I go through drive-throughs and they get my order wrong. I would not be able to stop until every person in the building had been annihilated. 5) Costume: Normal clothes, except my underwear would be outside of my pants.

This would be an interesting question to get WoB on. So far every Epic we've seen has a power that's pretty useful in some way. I wonder if there are any Epics with totally useless or harmful powers? Like someone who can make themselves older, but not young again. Or an Epic who's power is spontaneous self-death. The reason I ask is that it would give us some insight into the nature of Calamity. If every Epic has a power that is somehow useful then we could guess that there is some intelligence behind Calamity. If not then it could be a natural phenomenon that is randomly mutating people.

Well as we saw with the gun and the mobiles, some tech HAS been developed from studying Epics. Maybe she thought the tech was real and her own Epicness was still somehow interfering with using it.

Fortuity was a pre-cog. This implies to me that it was "always on", so I tend to agree that he was stormed. Also I think this explains why he was particularly sadistic. He was being exposed to the "taint" (yup, I'm coining a Wheel of Time term for it. Deal with it) basically 24/7.

I'd probably burn the world. Oh sure. I'd start out with good intentions. I'd start out as Superman, the guardian of all goody-ness. Then I'd get fed up and start laying down ultimatums. Then the government would still screw everything up so I would take over and run the world by myself. I would eventually become an inbittered ruthless tyrant. And finally I would give up and burn the whole thing down. In short...I'd be the Lord Ruler.
