    If a person were invested enough, a shardblade would not be able to magically sever the soul from the body. however, it is still a large sword being swung at high velocity toward a human body no matter how invested they are, unless that investiture is being used to protect them. Which breath does not. So while a shardblade MIGHT not be able to kill Azure magically, I would hardly call her shardblade proof.

    He was created with 1,000 breaths, but that doesn't really tell us much, as nightblood is far more invested in oathbringer than in warbreaker

    I know, but that could mean any number of things, we simply assume it's because she married Alcatraz. maybe she married a different Smedry, or she was legally adopted as a Smedry. Maybe the knights of Crystalia all gained Smedry talents. If that's the case, then maybe they are all now considered Smedrys.

    The fact that you answer so certainly makes me question even more.

    During my first read of the Alcatraz series, specifically the first two books, I kept waiting for Alcatraz to make fun of me for thinking that the lead male would have to be romantically involved with the lead female. After all, this is a real story, not fiction. The real world does not always have a nice and convenient romantic subplot wrapped up in a bow. As the series progressed, and Alcastille began to solidify, the more I questioned. Would it not be just like Alcatraz to write a romantic subplot with no conclusion? He has never outright said that he and Bastille are romantically involved, yet he does strongly imply it. Yet the more he implies, the more suspicious I get. Is this just me!?

    I don't think that living in the Cosmere would change anybody's mind. everybody already understands that there are plenty of real false religions out there, and that doesn't change our religious beliefs. I disagree. If you lived in T'Tlier, you would have a different view on divinity than what you currently have, and you would not see fallibility as a problem for a god. as for myself, the only known being that I would, if not worship, support as God is Harmony. From what I've seen, he is the only one of these gods that I feel is worthy of worship. Not because he is perfect or infallible, but because he is trying his hardest to be the best divinity that he can be. which is something I don't really see with any other "god" in the Cosmere. I would, however, probably believe in a power higher than the shards. I would only truly worship the God Beyond because that is more in line with my current religious beliefs.

    I don't know if I would necessarily call these religions "False". I think that it is subjective whether or not these beings are actually gods. take the shards for example. They may not fit the definition of gods by most modern religions, however, they would most certainly be divine according to the ancient greeks. The Returned are beings who come back from the dead with seemingly divine power, heal unhealable wounds and diseases, foretell the future, and sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the world. They do many of the same things that Christians worship Jesus Christ for. I don't think that just because we know the mechanics of Godhood necessarily means that it is no longer Godhood. This is one of my favorite things about Brandon's writing. He doesn't specifically say whether or not any one side of any argument is true, but leaves it up to interpretation. You can interpret these beings as gods and believe in the religions, you can interpret these beings as simply powerful entities that have no inherent divinity and there is no god in the Cosmere, or you can believe that there is some kind of true divinity that we don't know about, but must have faith in.

    I doubt we will even truly understand it then. The SR seems like the type of thing that is beyond a mortals comprehension. we might learn some of the mechanics, but I don't think we will ever have a true understanding.

    The Spiritual realm is... difficult to understand. I've always thought of the SR as the base of existence. It is what a person or object inherently IS that exists in the spiritual realm, while the cognitive realm contains the perceptions of people and objects. The Physical realm is where the people and objects are. I know that's confusing, but this is kind of a deep subject and, not one we know much about. SH Spoiler

    Not all metal inside a person is a hemalurgic spike. And aside from that, the reason hemalurgic spikes are more difficult to effect is due to the fact that they are invested. It is a known fact that the reason metal is more difficult to effect with allowmancy when it's inside a body is due to the investiture in a person as per the WoB Snipex posted above
  20. not an Evil Librarian
    Drabs are still invested, they are just not quite as invested as most people, so it would be easier to push/pull on metals inside a drabs body. But it would still probably be basically impossible or at least extremely difficult for the average Allowmancer.

    I don't think that Kelsier would really care about Sazed having control over him. He knows Sazed to well for that.
  22. not an Evil Librarian
    That is, of course, assuming that the Beyond does actually exist and there is a real afterlife in the cosmere.

    Is it just me, or is this debate going absolutely nowhere?

    Except a fullborn could fill an ironmind to essentially get rid of almost all his/her weight. Except a Fullborn like the lord ruler has been compounding for a thousand years. as seen in BoM, a fullborn's metalminds have the power equivalent to mist-burning. I doubt that the surge of division even fueled directly by a shard would be enough to reduce a Fullborn to nothing. Even if it did have an effect, compounded health could take care of any damage. I don't think that we really know enough to say that soulcasting even directly fueled by honor would be enough to soulcast something like the bands of mourning.
  25. not an Evil Librarian
    could you please explain further? As seen in BoM, Fullborns can access Mist burning levels of power as well.
