Kaladin survived that remember? All the child has to know how to do is draw in stormlight and they will be fine. Remember these are dark age spren. They have no idea how any of this works yet. They should be considerably more experienced.

Nope; I kind of expected it but still yikes. Have you read Bands of Morning?

The Full potential of Lightweaving : theory
Karger replied to SzethIsBadAsHell's topic in Stormlight Archive
She is also not a fully developed" Lightweaver yet she is only passed the third oath. -
But still not have died. His weight should kill him yet we see Wax smash through floors no problem.
-
That was about balance though and the fact that he was not strong enough to stand up again.
-
I guess he might be able to tell you about a perpendicularity if he got close enough...
-
Of course. See if your lunch is missing. If it is she is in the area. Shards are omnipresent.
-
He might be able to let go of Nightblood in a similar situation to Theylen field but if he holds on too long he will die.
-
First of all Welcome to the shard! Secondly good question. It could honestly go either way. You don't crush yourself with iron for example but speed of thought does effect how many calories you need to burn that day. Personally I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if an 80 year old became a teenager for a while.

But Pattern told her that it was possible to use sound. Remember also that the spren are currently recovering from a massive devastation of their culture and learning. They are basically dark age spren. They presumably used to be much better at this sort of thing.

I assumed those are to prevent people from finding out about them but you are right maybe they also monitor the mistlings for the inquisitors. That is one reason but you did not except it so I am trying to argue a different way in the hopes of convincing you. I am not sure that that would be plausible. A noble would be much better guarded and could move through a bolt hole if the guards were alerted. Also Kelseir did actually need the atium. He had other goals there but he needed it. True but people tend not to like you after you arrange for such an "accident." Also people get suspicious when the younger brother makes a foray into politics after the death of the expected heir. In any case you would also have to kill the parents at which point the ministry WILL investigate. Bribery of noble families is expensive. Soothing and rioting are likely ineffective against well trained political players and if your plan goes wrong collateral damage will be felt on the global scale as skaa everywhere loose rights and some are randomly executed. Also even well trained assassinations often have some collateral damage. Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand's was extremely well planed but his wife was not supposed to die and she was still killed. My point was do you honestly think that you yourself with the same experiences and capacity but different ethics and personality could do better and remain sane and not a monster.

Not really. It is more passive. The only immediate danger comes from drowning. Assuming the child did not panic but instead chose rationality the way Elsecallers seem to be tested or assuming the spren explained it ahead of time I think they would be OK. Pattern explained how Lightweaving worked in his sessions with Shallan in WoKs explaining its capabilities and its requirements. He even told her some things like that she should not need to draw images first.

How does Adien know the step count to the docks?
Karger replied to Koloss17's topic in Elantris and Emperor's Soul
Double post hide one. My explanation is that the mental process he went through during and prior to the reod must have been very confusing to him leaving him with a bunch of knowledge that he did not know what to do with. -
There was an attitude in older maritime cultures that knowledge of how to swim would just prolong your suffering. Also a lot of those people lived in places where the water was supper cold. It was an analogy. Sorry if I did not make this clear. My point was that children can learn to survive in a lot of strange environments. The spren teaches them no?
-
Soothing stations. These may have been implemented a number of years ago and could have a number of uses beyond what we saw. Making sure the skaa don't panic if there is a giant fire for example. Pretty much anything is plausible if you are the god emperor. However if TLR did not engage in an activity regularly Kelseir would not have known how to anticipate him. However the entire setup is rather impractical unless you know who Marsh is and that he and Kelseir are brothers. If you know that then you can probably get in a regular person mole quite easily by torturing a recruitment station for the resistant out of Marsh and sending someone there undercover. After that you can send an inquisitor into the correct section of the caverns with a group of koloss. The whole spike a noble girl so that she can be beaten near to death hope that she can survive in the underground for a few weeks. Hope that she will be sent to scam Marsh and that Marsh detects her and alerts Dockson who alerts Kelsier is just too incongruous a plan to work. If he did not harm the guards people would assume that it was just a burglary and it would likely have been hushed up. Marsh sort of disagrees with you. He admits that he might be wrong about Kelseir and that he has changed from the person he once was. Ahh sorry I missed these. I was confused that you just ignored my point after a while. Tekiel was only a younger son he would not be able to have the political effectiveness Kelseir needs. Lukiel proved himself something of an idiot but he also seems to react quickly and with little subtly. Remember one word to the wrong person and your puppet system breaks up and you and your allies have to run. Basically. I also point out that a rebellion lead by you would probably not succeed.

shardfork. Children who are young even toddlers can learn to swim. Children have greater neuroplasticity. They might be able to interact with shadesmar in some truly odd ways if they start learning from a young age.
-
I am sure that the people in SA4 are doing that sort of thing for him.

Autonomy and Their Avatars: The Fractal Shard?
Karger replied to Confused's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I refer to a number of things. I actually think the fused use Voidlight to fuel an Honor surge. We also see some odd things happen when you compound(fuel feruchemy with alomancy) and then Renerin and Lift are both odd. Where can I find that? -
A slightly spiked spy would not be under TLR's control and could go out and give the secret to whoever they wanted. Also exactly what would you need such a spy for? You have Kandra who are excellently suited to such a task. Exactly how often do you need to infiltrate a group such as Kelseir's? Considering the expense(in Mistling lives) and the risk. I would actually consider it rather foolish for TLR to engage in such an activity. We also have no evidence of such a spy and on top of that neither did Kelseir so why would he think to check for one? The remote possibility that such a spy could exist would be to him as equally likely as TLR having several clones of himself unless something happened to him imprisoned in a dungeon somewhere. If TLR wanted to do such a thing he already would have done so. Remember the resistance has been there for so long that to Kelsier's crew it is common knowledge and none of them have any personal interest in knowing. Straff Venture being the absolute smuck that he is would obviously not have cared about them dying. He would however have cared a lot that his highly trained security force was absolutely worthless. A thief with no political agenda would avoid hurting guards and engaging in combat at all both because of the risk and because they did not want to antagonize house Ventrure. People might assume that the Mistborn just desperately needed atium for some reason. An assassin would be willing to kill guards if their goal was to kill Straff or a member of his family. Marsh does not know Kelseir anymore. Kelseir is a different person. You did not reply to my point of the problems of using a puppet. I have made a verity of points about Kelseir's rational for killing the guards any of which could excuse or mitigate the problematic nature of his actions. For the rest let me offer this. Can you honestly say you think that if you were in Kelseir's place with his full depth of experiences and capability that you would not either be insane, dead, or a monster and that your planned rebellion would succeed?

The Full potential of Lightweaving : theory
Karger replied to SzethIsBadAsHell's topic in Stormlight Archive
Hm. I suppose it would be more accurate to think them as liquid illusions. -
Allomancers have more of Preservation's investiture which manifests through their capacity to preform alomancy. They have no specific connection to the metal this is just the"key" for alomantic power to come through into the physical realm. Through the metal and the metal "dissolves" as a result. Otherwise you could keep using it indefinitely on the same chunk of metal.
