I really would like to see Hoid kick some chull

come on 17th shard, what do you think I am, the word a_s is clearly referring to a donkey, there is no point in censoring that XD

edit: also kicking a chull will probably hurt a lot

I wonder if he’ll be a mentor-type figure for another main-character.

come to think of it, that is probably going to be what is going to happen

A main character... That's still limited by his complete inability to harm people. 

Wait why can't he harm people again? I really would like to see Hoid kick some chull

Intriguing. That's going to be fun. Thanks for the link!

Did I miss something? When was that said, because that's a juicy tidbit, and make Hoid as a protagonist the bookends for the entirety of the cosmere, with Dragonsteel and Era 4 both having him as protagonist.

Can't/too lazy to find an Arcanum link but according to the Coppermind Era 4 will have Hoid as the main character and greatly involve the Sleepless

https://coppermind.net/wiki/Mistborn_(series)#Era_4:_Third_Mistborn_Trilogy

As we know, Hoid will be the protagonist of Mistborn era 4, but he is ridiculously overpowered right know. 

List of Hoid's powers: 

- lightweaving(old Yolen magic & being bonded to a Cryptic)

- Healing(stormlight, possibly Yolen magic)

- Agelessness(Yolen magic?)

- Lerasium Misborn

- Fortune(more old Yolen magic?)

- Surgebinder(he will probably have sworn at least 4 oaths by era 4)

- Worldhopping(by technology or unknown magic?)

- Extensive knowledge about the basically everything(not really a power but hey, knowledge is power right?)

- Ability to speak multiple languages(unless he wastes his time learning a new language everytime he worldhops to a new planet, he probably have some access to Connection)

- Some form of defence against people in other realms(Kelsier got hurt when he tried to touch him in the Cognitive realm)

- Probably have some form of knowledge on Forgery and probably have a bunch of Breaths and unkeyed metalminds stored away somewhere

Brando Sando(yes that what I call him in every circumstance, regards from r/cremposting) probably needs to do something to Hoid or the rest of the Cosmere to actually provide challenges to Hoid

Possible solution 1: Hoid get a major power downgrade before era 4, possibly by the hands of those 17th Shard people who are trying to find him in SA(forgot which book). Or everyone in the Cosmere gets a major power downgrade(maybe due to something major happening with the Shards?)  

Possible solution 2: Either all of the main characters encountered in era 4 will be just as overpowered(fighting against people just as old as Hoid or maybe even a Shard) as Hoid or technology has advanced to the point where it can substitute magic(Fabrials, unkeyed Metalminds, maybe even some Elantrian made stuff)

Devotions god metal.

Because what else should people be devoted to if not the deliciousness of cookies?

So THAT'S why Odium killed Devotion, maybe he is trying to Ambitiously create Honourable cookies that would Dominate people's senses so they will Devote their life to the production of cookies.

3. I like this theory, and think it's completely possible. However, I think the part about Preservation being only 1/6th of Adonsalium wouldn't really make a difference, because the metal would tap into all 16 (now 15) Shards. It's also important to remember, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Preservation created Allomancy. Even though Ruin has a god Metal, that might just come from him making the other metallic art.

 

I agree that Preservation being 1/16 of Adonalsium probably not that important, but I think Preservation didn't actually create Allomancy. Like other forms of Investiture, I am pretty sure, it is just something that just happened as a result of the shard staying in a world for an extended period of time(can't be bothered to find the WoB about this). Though Preservation and Harmony did actually mess around the laws of Allomancy a bit.

1. As a savant, maybe. I don't know if they would be powerful enough just burning it, but a savant flaring might be able to. Someone ask Brandon.

 

If this is true a Leecher running around the Cosmere with a bunch of Allomantic grenades would be the single most infuriating thing: 

I see you have some nice Investiture, I would be a shame if I zapped it all away ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Umm, you know... there are other cookies on the shard that don't contain spikes... I would highly suggest one of those... I don't have one on me right now, but representatives of TUBA are 100% trustworthy, and their cookies taste better too. (Less blood)

EDIT: Also, just something to keep in mind for the future, mods aren't fond of people double posting.  What I would recommend is editing your previous post, and adding onto it.

But spikeless cookies grant super powers? I think not

Also, thanks for the heads up, I will refrain from double posting in the fulture 

Just now, Voidus said:

Of course you may, excellent idea.

Have you considered a career with the DAs Hemalurgic baking division?

I would love to if it means free cookie! 

Also, I wonder what metal stores "cookie-ness"(totally a word), I don't care if I become a pawn of Ruin, I want to become a walking cookie

Also, I feel offended the reputation titles, the Skaa had a whole revolution just so they can become the second most unimportant from the first?!?!

Can I interest you in a welcome cookie? May include superpowers.

 

May I have one that turns me into a Tineye, so I can enjoy the cookie to it's maximum potential

No because there is also something called Sanderson Elimination (SE) which is basically a game of mafia/werewolf, but with customized rules to fit in Brandon's world. (Can also be found in the roleplaying subforum)

Sounds fun, I will check it out

bugger, just realized somebody already posted a theory on aluminum being a god metal like 5 posts before mine

I read all the Cosmere books except White Sand

My favourite magic system is Allomancy since it is the magic system we know the most about, but I wouldn't mind being a Willshaper

Is this about the allievercy thingy, I googled it, still have no idea what the heck it is. 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cooooooooooooooookies

Moash did nothing wrong

1. Brando Sando said an Allomancer burning aluminum can cleanse themselves of unwanted investiture, does that also apply to Leechers(people burning chromium), if so can Leechers kill a Returned by draining their divine breath?

What benefit does an aluminum savant get? Yes, I know this would normally never happen because aluminum burns itself up. Suppose a mad scientist with a willing Mistborn test subject shoved a feeding tube down the Mistborn's throat to pump in a continuous stream of aluminum, replenishing it steadily so there's always a new unburned supply. Add another tube to pump out excess water if necessary. What would he discover? Alternatively, what would Sazed with his Shard-granted knowledge know?

Brandon Sanderson

Ha, that IS a little silly of a method. However, on the extreme end of aluminum, I have in the notes the possibility of cleansing the spirit of unwanted effects of other Investitures. You'd get really good at this, and maybe even be able to cleanse the body of other impurities.

 

 

2. What do Shades look like in the Cognitive Realm, are the ghost thingies(totally a word btw) a part of their Cognitive body(like how Sprens only show part of their body in the Physical Realm)?

3. Is it possible that Aluminum is actually the god metal of Adonalsium, but drained of their investiture(similar to the Elantrians when the Shaod broke half way through)? Since Allomancers don't get their investiture from the metal but use it as a password to access the power of Preservation. Allomancers burning aluminum is actually trying to access the entirety of Adonalsium's power but since Preservation is only 1/16 of Adonalsium, it drains the investiture from the user in an unconscious attempt to heal itself.
