Hemalurgy works anywhere in the Cosmere, so their spikes would function just fine off world. They'd be all good to leave.

Okay. I just need to say, with the whole, "Nightblood eats investiture, therefore he can destroy anything that uses investiture to live." That is a flawed argument. People eat meat. Dinosaurs were made of meat. I dare you to go beat a dinosaur by eating it. And for the people saying Nightblood would never be "full" just because we've never seen him be "full", we've also never seen a coinshot break the sound barrier while flying, so should we assume they can do it?

I voted other, because I have an unpopular opinion (which is nothing new). I think the Diagram is a red herring. We're supposed to think it's super accurate and the key to saving Roshar, but I think it's just wrong. Odium said it was made without access to fortune and the spiritual realm, which means, when all is said and all is done, the Diagram is a guess. I expect that when Taravangian has the most faith in it, and expects the most that it contains the path to victory, it will fail. Basically, I doubt everything about the Diagram because I think it's bunk.

Here are the first 10 I thought of: Kaladin - Hufflepuff Shallan - Ravenclaw Dallinar - Gryffindor Jasnah - Syltherin Navani - Ravenclaw Pretty much all of bridge 4 - Hufflepuff Eshonai - Ravenclaw Veleni - Slytherin Szeth - Gryffindor Sadeas - Hufflepuff....just kidding, y'all know what he is

You are correct if only considering the Inquisitor bindpoints we're being shown. However, these are not all the bindpoints as there are apparently hundreds throughout the body.

I've recently been playing Sundered by Thunder Lotus, and as I keep playing I keep thinking that the 2D exploration game might fit well for a Mistborn game. It would also be a lot easier for both the developers and the players to manage 2D physics of pushing and pulling.

Nope, not at all. Am I the only one that really likes the skybreakers?

Honestly, in most battle setups, I'd say Hoid survives until his opponent dies of old age. Now, until recently, I'd say one of the few matchups that would give him trouble would be end of Oathbringer Szeth. However, now that Hoid is a well and proper Radiant with access to soulcasting, I'm not sure Szeth could actually stop him. While before that I would have said Szeth might be a good enough flier to keep up with an mobility Hoid has, with soulcasting Hoid would not only never run out of metals, but could throw enough walls in front of Szeth to slow him down and stay ahead until both run out of stormlight. Combined with the fact that whatever fortune trick he's using might give Hoid pseudo-atium, I don't think most people slower than a steel twinborn could touch him, and even then, if he's a fullborn and they don't have Nightblood, he'll come back from whatever they hit him with. Edit: I also just thought I'd throw my two cents in here, but I don't think Nightblood can actually kill Hoid. I think people tend to overestimate it's power quite often.

The metalic arts draw power directly from Ruin and Preservation. If an Elantrian had some way to access that power, perhaps they could. But, normally, an Elantrian's power is derived from the Dor, which only exists around Sel and has no connection to the metalic arts. In other words, it's hypothetically possible, but would require lots of work to make it possible.

A soulcaster cannot make god metals. It would take more investiture that the caster can possibly hold.

Hello people's of the 17th Shard. Thanks to RShara for sharing it here via aonstick on Reddit (credit where credit is due) we now have the fabled hemalurgy table. Now, to my knowledge, the table is based on Spook's knowledge of hemalurgy, which in turn is probably based on Marsh. The table specifically mentions that the 47 bindpoints shown were for making Inquisitors. So, if we assume Marsh had 47 spikes, can we figure out what they all are? So, what I know off the top of my head: Marsh was a full mistborn and a seekerx2 by HOA, excluding the metals they couldn't get. So that's 10 spikes, 4 steel, 4 bronze, 2 electrum. He may or may not have gained the remaining abilities over the next 300 years. If he did, we can add 2 electrum spikes and 2 cadmium spikes. That brings us up to 16. He also had allomatic and feruchemical atium for compounding age, 18; and at the very least feruchemical speed and health, 20. That's not even half-way done. So, I open this forum page up for discussion, what other spikes did Marsh have?

There might actually be something to this. I believe that the hemalurgy table is supposed to be the information that would be in Spook's book from era 2. If that's the case, how on Scadrial would he know what a lerasium spike did unless he used one.

So, just going through some thoughts. There of 47 total bindpoints that can be used for an Inquisitor. 11 are physical. 12 are mental. 12 are temporal. 12 are spiritual. The only physical bindpoints within the limbs are in the upper thighs. Similarly, a majority of the non-physical bindpoints are in the limbs, with the exception being four in the chest. You need 32 spikes to make a fullborn: 8 physical, 8 mental, 8 spiritual, 8 temporal. This leaves room for 15 more spikes. Assuming one of them has to be blank to be the lynchpin, that's still an additional 14. Of those remaining, 2 can be physical, and 4 spiritual, mental, and temporal. Those are my initial observations.

They would have to be burning very very fast to do that.

Unpopular opinion: Skybreakers For those of you that are disgusted by that statement, hear me out. The idea of the Skybreakers is that people change their morality to fit their needs, and thus the only way to be sure you're doing what's right is to follow a predefined code. Yes, many of the Skybreakers interpret this to be doing what is lawful. However, as we've seen with Szeth, that isn't always the case. To be a Skybreaker is to acknowledge that you aren't always moral and you don't always have the wisdom to determine what is right, and so you look to something with better judgement than yourself for guidance. I personally am not always convinced the law is correct, it is made by humans after all. But, I do believe in people have personal moral codes that they shouldn't deviate from as well as a universal idea of good. The reason I love the Skybreakers is because they avert the very common trope in fiction of "just listen to your heart." I know I'm not alone in having a heart that is selfish, deceitful, and often petty. To be a Skybreaker is to know your moral flaws and trappings, and vow to improve both yourself and the world around you in spite of them.

Calling F-gold healing is not completely accurate. F-gold is the ability of the body to conform to a person's spiritweb. When you become a savant, you warp your spiritweb, and as a result gold just keeps you a savant. The blueprint that good uses to heal you is changed by savantism, not just the body.

And now the sound of thousands of theories being silenced.

The state of the metal does not affect it's viability for the metalic arts. The metalic arts do not provide any special protection against the properties of the metal. If you have protection against the dangers of the metal, it is still viable.

It's what Calderis has decided to call when someone is using enough investiture that they radiate mist.

I've seen this theory proposed more than once on this site. But yes, the general impression we've had is that the external temporal metals will provide Scandrian ftl. To my knowledge, Sanderson has RAFOed any further questions about it.

This also creates a hardcap for all feruchemy, including compounding. Fans have always thrown around the idea that a compounder can gain an infinite quanitiy of a trait, and I still think that's theoretically possible, but that doesn't mean they can use an infinite amount in one moment.

It would make sense with the idea that the surgebinding somehow destroyed Ashyn. Mainly in that I can see how surge and voidbinding could easily get confused. In addition, it would make sense that if multiple people on Ashyn gained access to future sight there'd be groups that would try to stop the planet's destruction and groups that would try to evacuate. So yeah, I like this theory.

Merry Christmas from the Mid-West!

"Health" is the ability of the body to conform to it's spiritual ideal.

If we're to take DE to it's logical conclusions, then I'm not even how sure you can call it a war. War implies commitment on both sides, and I don't think the aliens would have been commited to real violence if they all were like the ones in DE. However, I do believe they would have taken the first shot and humans would either be fighting for revenge or self-defense.
