I think this one is probably "Old Magic".

@Rhapsody

I’d pass. 

Sounds good. Calmseer, Leshwi, Beldre.

Ignore this. Didn't see new page had been added.

I too am in

I think the other's most likely going to be Pits of Eltania.

I feel like this one is almost certainly Elantris. @Ashspren @Babilarian Darkeyes @Turtle373 

I’ll join a team

How many people have asked about the color of the wall behind you for that to become a "common" question?

Hemalurgy is mentioned as something that has "broad implications" but that's of Ruin, right? Or now it is of Harmony.

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, but don't take the "of Ruin" and "of Preservation" too strongly, but yes.

Questioner

But, I mean, somebody couldn't just walk along with a metal spike on, say, Nalthis. Stab someone and have the power, right?

Brandon Sanderson

If they knew whereto stab them, yes they could.

Questioner

Anywhere in the cosmere?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes.

Questioner

You can stab someone and get their power?

Brandon Sanderson

Hemalurgy has been built in such a way that it rips off pieces of the soul. If you can rip off the right piece of the soul and attach it to somebody else, it will change your Identity and rewrite-- It can rewrite anything attached to your soul. Identity, Connection, it can rewrite Investiture, all of this stuff it can potentially do.

Nice catch! I'd also say that the following is reminiscent of Stormform/Rythms.

"Other Javelins include the Storm, which uses powerful technology to unleash the 'rage of the hymn'"

All right

Chromium. Balrog is now unable to fight (Because apparently light = Investiture) stabby stabby stabby, balrog is now dead.

Even if all the light/fire is taken away, the Balrog is still nigh impossible to defeat with mortal weapons. When Gandalf explains the sequence at Moria, I believe he mentions that the balrog fell into water that extinguished its flame, but it shifted into something slimy/eel-like and was still a capable fighter.

They would also have to know what Lerasium was, and I haven't heard it mentioned at all. 

Although I suppose the kandra could know.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe either Lerasium or Atium is mentioned as either missing or mentioned in the Words of Founding in MBE2. The quote from Peter, although it may not be 100% reliable, does state that the chart is an in-world chart based on the knowledge of "some people," which seems to imply that it isn't a Kandra document. (Both for the reasons that they could be considered as "non-people" and for the fact that it would be pointless for them to have a hemalurgy chart.

Marsh might have known. Kell knew. Spook probably would have known from that, and wasn't it supposed to be Spook's book that chart was based on?

It is possible that Marsh may have known, but his knowledge of Hemalurgy comes from his inquisitor experiences, and I don't believe that any of the inquisitors had a Lerasium spike. As for him learning after the Catacendre, which is, admittedly possible, he would've had to obtain the Lerasium somewhere, and the phrasing of the "some people" quote again seems to imply more than one person. As for Kel, he had minimal knowledge of Hemalurgy prior to his death, it still seems unlikely that he would've found out what a Lerasium spike can do without assistance from Harmony. I hadn't seen any evidence of the chart being from Spook's book, do you by any chance have some?

It could be that they just asked Harmony what a lerasium spike would do until he told them.

It seems unlikely to me both that Harmony would make this information available and that it would be included on the in-world chart if there was no way of obtaining Lerasium.

Oh! And I may be remembering this wrong, but didn't burned atium show up back in the Pits of Hasthin? It's Ruin's body, it wouldn't just disapear, so maybe we can make the same argument for Preservation~maybe there are still 16 or so peices of Lerasium that have renewed their physical form since Leras died.

Eventually it would have, but production stopped after the Catacendre. However, it is still possible for Harmony to create more beads. 

In the Hemalurgy table from the leather-bound Hero of Ages, it's shown that a Lerasium spike "steals all abilities." Given that the Hemalurgy Table is "an in-world chart according to the knowledge of some people at a certain stage in the history of Scadrial," according to Peter Ahlstrom, at some point in Scadrial's history someone must have fashioned a lerasium spike. I don't believe the chart is from MBE1, given the lack of both lerasium and hemalurgic knowledge. Thus, I believe at some point Harmony must have begun again producing lerasium and possibly atium. These metals seem like too powerful a potential weapon against the Set or other enemies for him to ignore, and otherwise it should be impossible for the knowledge of a lerasium hemalurgic spike to become available to the creator of the chart.

My bad.

Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]

The Stormlight Archive is two sets of five. Built around the idea of ten Orders of Knights Radiant. And each book will kind of focus on one order a little bit, gives me some structure to it. You can see how I'm doing that already.

And then each book gets a different flashback character, who gets their flashback sequence. Book 4 is Eshonai, book 5 is Szeth. Then in-world, that's going to bring us to an ending. We're going to break for a little while, like ten years in-world. Probably not ten years in our world.

Then we'll come back and the characters for those will be Lift, and Renarin, and Ash, and Taln, and Jasnah. Probably not in that order though, well maybe that order. And we'll do five more, focusing on five different Orders of Radiant. Though characters from the first five will of course be in the back five.

Nay, he is Turtle.

That's why you got to do your research on what metal you're eating, has Steris taught you nothing?

I mean the whole duralumin thing worked out pretty well for Vin. However, the first people to burn cadmium and bendalloy must’ve freaked out.
