  1. Yeah but relative to what is the planet moving? The star? The center of the cosmere? The planet's own center of mass?
  2. But perhaps their glimpses are wider in scope? Also the returned don't know much about their powers(perhaps they could be better used).
  3. Maybe the "evil" is a perversion of whatever "important rite" Nazh was talking about IE a bunch of people decided to manipulate the process in an unholy way and are now challenging the IRI for control of the cosmere.
  4. I think far too much attention is put on what the ancient Windrunners did in terms of their stereotypical profession as "scouts."
  5. Assuming the pay comes on time.
  6. The returned also have no actual idea how their powers work and I am not sure their powers are really of the same type anyway.
  7. V=0. You said that now the planet's motion comes into play but with respect to what?
  8. That is awesome! Asami cosplayers are going to want a bunch of them.
  9. Yeah since you are not actually creating any just borrowing it then you will not be able to jump on a hovering platform any more then you can carry yourself. The planet's motion relative to what?
  10. Then its V will still point upwards and your hovering platforms will be flying upwards at an increased rate. If you jump on it you will fall as you are really just borrowing that object's weight. Relative to what?
  11. You could hover if you made some kind of hovercraft. Steering would be slow and pretty dangerous since your entire method fails if you flip over which will always be possible. Dalinar is totally going to try this at some point when learning that it is possible and will probably end up on his backside cursing to the Stormfather.
  12. First of all I am going to congratulate you on some awesome choices. Now because I am me I have to start griping about physics. What happens to conservation of momentum in this case? Also what makes the external effects of your metals mystical in nature? Gravity is acceleration not velocity. But an object that is not falling has a velocity of 0 and if you increase it then in which direction?
  13. It already did that to mine. I meant what is the functionality of it. IE does it (I am being a bit ridiculous here just as an example) blast out force like an iron man repulsor? To the best of my understanding you did not explain what it is supposed to do.
  14. I really hate to ask this question but what do you need a power glove for and what is it supposed to do?
  15. Should we put them on to the coppermind or are they not up to date yet?
  16. Found it under the spoiler. The tense of the explanation indicates pretty strongly that Lightsong's dreams are reacting to something happening in the now. He is not just reacting to stuff from earlier.
  17. I personally am hoping for an astrological based magic system in the future and more of Hrovell's.
  18. The Returned still are able to feel some SR stuff like Lightsong feeling Siri and Lightsong consummating their marriage. I think this is pretty explicit in the annotations.
  19. But Khriss says otherwise so we are back to square one.
  20. Gavilar debated wearing a crown. Jezrien had famously refused to wear one. The implication in this story is that Jez is so confident in himself and his authority that he does not require physical indications of his power.
  21. It got into Ironeyes's stash of atium. Also am I the only one who thought this would be a "in defense of Wayne" thread?
  22. Hoid breaks all the rules though.
  23. I remember now. This one always really bothered me since Jezrien famously does not wear a crown.
  24. No that sounds much more probable since as a scadrain you will already have some latent investature or preservation.
  25. In this case I think that is pretty standard iconography for Taln. Dalinar mentions similar drawings in the temple in Theylan city if I remember correctly. Could you find those for me? That seems likely. I suppose that they might be substancespren(like the half shard fabrials).
