I forgot one: Old Threnody's method of making Cognitive Shadows that Nazriloff mentions meeting Kelsier.

Odium would run an insane risk. He cannot be sure Dalinar will fight himself. If he sent Szeth or Jasnah, a Shardblade would be swung and you'd lose without a fight.

They depend on forms. Hence they can settle only on worlds with Spren and a Highstorm. Most likely the answer to your question is negative.

That is a fighter who is inefficient in fuel consumption against a Radiant of 4th oath with living Plate. I am sorry, but that is suicidal. Unless you want Moash to swallow Yelig-Nar, but we already had that battle.

Quite intense No antennas 4 instead of at least six limbs extremely reduced exoskeleton the bonding mechanism works differently Adonalism made them. That is why they can interbreed. In fact he even formed the continent. That quote by Vasher? He was speaking about a specific kind of shell fossile, not fossiles in general. By a different mechanism. The Singers carry a Spren inside their gemhearts, basically like a Fabrial giving them a form and in case of Regals arcane powers. Ordinary Rosharan animals form some sort of proto-Nahel bond. You see their luckspren outside but near the animals in case of Greatshells and Skyeels. They have gem hearts to store Stormlight. A Fused does not exactly bond in a Spren sense with its host. The host is kicked out and dies.

I am glad he has not discovered his inner Tolkien, published a dictionary and grammar and rereleased Oathbringer in Alethi.

I can send over a number of Cognitive Shadows anxious to strenously object to that statement.

Fear is used I'd say. You leave them hanging there, on chains that are barely long enough and the instruments for the next session arranged for optimal viewing. They have people with centuries of experience in that. Either that or they regenerate. You cannot torture somebody for years without killing them. (Secret History)

This is fishy on many levels. Why do they get bodies at all? Were they supposed to return to Roshar? Was the original Oathpact a temporary arrangement? Is it built into the Oathpact? If so why did Honor agree to a plan that gave them nice superbodies even if it was necessary that the oaths could technically be broken for them to work? Now we have one further issue. Honor is dead. He can't be making bodies anymore. So who does and did it? The Oathpact is still so functional that it makes bodies after thousands of years Those bodies are a bribe. Odium offered them. Cultivation is cultivating. The more The more I think about it, the wierder it gets. It looks like the Desolations had been part of the plan from the start. What do you think?

They are the most soldierly of orders. So something like: I will accept the need for a retreat when tactical considerations demand it.

In short, are Steel Inquisitors naturally bald or do they shave? Does Marsh keep the origina look?

Well, if Cohesion is an inferior version of Microkinesis should also allow Stoneshaping. So what else does it allow The Ghostbloods had that white twig in their lair's trophy case. Unless you wish to assume that Hoid, carries twigs from Yolen after thousands of years, gives them to the Ghostbloods and such a rare object happens to turn up in a cellar on the Shattered PLains, Yolen must be accessible at the time of SA.

Leeching does not attack metal. It attacks Investiture in certain forms (the gun incident). Why does it attack metals? Because the allomancer changes the metal merely by ingesting it. Metal has three states: flaring, burning, reserve. An allomancer can tell what kind of metal and how much has been ingested. If that were any different, why can't a Leecher annihilate metal outside a body?

If that were true, you could leech muggles. Can you?

Interesting thought, but only a partial explanation How does something of that size move through sand with a reasonable expenditure of energy? Given their mouths, they are clearly predators. So what do they eat? How do they sense prey? Lifesense? How do they eat people? And why? We are around 70% water. How do they breathe?

But they aren't viable in a Misting. You cannot just touch some metal and make it vanish, nor do piercings dissolve. It affects those pieces of metal a capable individual has designated as fuel for allomancy.

I suppose when the Stormfather actually talks audibly about The Sibling in the Alethi language he uses the neutral pronouns the Alethi use for Ardents. Now, in the western world this issue is politically loaded. It makes no sense to project that onto an alien artificial spirit materialized as a building. We cannot expect human languages to be perfectly adapted to those circumstances.

Do you have to be? That is to say, are they theorists? Elsecallers look like engineers and applied scientist, maybe even military officers specialized on staff tasks to me. That is, Elsecallers are relentlessly empirical. They would never assume something that they can easily check, but if it works for the task at hand, that's it. Further investigation is for Truthwatchers or Dustbringers.

What is weakened and faulty? The ideal ice cream of a gourmet and a dietician are faulty in the other one's view. That rubble had a specific view of itself. Most objects do not. Nobody ever really looked at a leaf among many other autumn leaves in a park. Yet it is represented.

Well, objects have a kind of memory. Dalinar demonstrated that when he reassembled old temples. At a minimum I would say that that possibility would be removed. At a maximum the answer would be simple: the object is annihilated. But how to decide between this possibilities?

The Sandlings first and foremost. They even produce a substance with arcane properties. Organisms as we have seen should definitely collapse under their own weight.

In hindsight RoW does tell us something about what the Radiants knew about the past. The stones remember. And Mraize confirmed us that Radiants are bound to the Rosharan system, yet that means the other planets of the system are in principle reachable. That includes Ashyn. At a minimum they must have observed Ashyn from the CR. Hence I cannot see how they could forget the story of the destruction of Ashyn and the origin of man on Roshar. They just needed to ask a rock in a dawn city and it will become clear. So I wonder why Honor telling them about the fate of Ashyn did have much of an effect. What is the part we do not understand?

That option would make no sense (provided you mean an avatar of Autonomy). If that were the case he'd know the mechanics of Sandmastery and would have no reason to send an observer with Khrissalla.

RoW made one thing really clear. You can use Surges through your own Shard Plate. Jasnah using Soulcasting in battle leaves no reasonable doubt about that. Yet we are also sure that you cannot use Arcane Arts through an opponent's Plate. What is the difference? I can see no other good candidate but Identity. A Windrunner can lash himself even when full of Stormlight, but not his Blade. So we think that aluminium would block all Arcane Arts. I doubt that, as it is not fully inert. It has functions in the Metallic Arts. Functions that are connected to Identity. So I propose that aluminium does not block Investiture. It filters it by Identity. This thesis is falsifiable. I predict that a Rioter/Soother + aluminium Ferring can use emotional allomancy through a sheet of aluminium filled with his own Identity.

He does not seek freedom. He seeks to topple the opressors. An important difference. He seeks to overcome challenges. Elsecaller. He does what is right and what is true. Truthwatcher, maybe Willshaper. Willshaper. He is subverting rules and expectations. One who puts great emphasis on mastering difficult arts. Dustbringer.
