  1. While a group of conspirators...
  2. Aluminum dampens all powers. Perhaps will savantism you could do something like what you suggest but alloying aluminum with another metal would remove its effectiveness.
  3. If Szeth had bonded and suppressed a spren Shallan style(something I don't think he would be very good at) I think that either Nale or the Spren themselves would have noticed. There are a number of ways Szeth could find out about the imminent voidbringer assault. Future sight would work as would spren informants, knowledge of a budding Radiant, hearing a death rattle, or perhaps one of the Honorblades does something odd.
  4. You could also just burn much slower to give yourself the correct rate.
  5. That is a quote from way of kings. Dalinar says it to Sadeas. Also welcome.
  6. The Heralds are still bound to the Rosharan system.
  7. Infinite Root of 2 = 2^1/infinity 1/infinity = 0 2^0=1
  8. I personally am hopping that we get two sets of flashbacks one with each sister and have them put in such a way so that they mirror each other giving us some nice parallelism.
  9. So the number 1?
  10. Celebrating an arranged marriage.
  11. So you are a bean hating vegetarian who wants to restrict knowledge of the square root of two?
  12. Sure. Lets have it join all of the unnamed dead moms.
  13. I don't realy understand what your talking about. I am a bit tired but a feel like I am reading some pythagorean cult document. Anyone share the feeling or am I just unusually stupid at the moment?
  14. You can burn pewter and suck in stormlight while unconscious. We know you can't store but you might be able to tap instinctively.
  15. It is great that you think that but I also think that you are wrong. The majority of a shard lies in the SR where things exist in an ideal state. How can a platonic ideal change? Sure your perception of that ideal can change but the ideal itself can't. A vessel's perceptions are certainly changed dramatically by holding the power of a shard but that does not indicate that the vessel changes themselves. For example Cultivation is already growth in its ideal spiritual state. How can she grow to become more growth? That does not make any sense. She might learn more about being growth and her capabilities as growth would still change but that is it. That is more a function on how the shard views the oath. Honor sees oaths as vital strict exact things with specific demands. Odium sees them more as a framework for a relationship.
  16. Not immediately. Killing shards seems to take time and his immediate goals would be killing the Stormfather and Cultivation. Plenty of people(shards) still have the capacity to kill Odium.
  17. Fortune is not luck.
  18. The shards are more like forces then they are like people. I don't think that say gravity can change much.
  19. Agreed! Fingers crossed!
  20. ROCK NOVELLA!
  21. Don't be silly. Hoid would have just found several interesting species of vermin and have had them ascend.
  22. They are worldhoppers. Odium getting out would not effect many or possibly most of their members as they could simply leave. I don't think that they would admit to being motivated by simple grudges. They were trying to kill Jasnah because she was after the same intell that they were and that intell was more valuable to them if they had exclusive control over it. Mraize says that they also were motivated by the fact that she had killed several of their members but he says that to Shallan(and Pattern claims at least on one other occasion that some things Mraize says are lies indicating that we can't trust his statements). The thing about Shallan's lies is that at the most powerful and effective they are real. Same with Elhokar's and Tein's.
  23. Thank you! TLJ did kind of loose track of the difference between subverting expectations and telling a new story. If star wars had not already been an established series no one would realy know what they were going for when they made the movie. It did not have a clear message and it kept pulling out new twists that instead of making it better just kind of lost most of us. Example if you don't want to make Rey's parents important then that is fine but make sure that your audience knows that they are not important(or at least foreshadow it). Don't build them up and then make us all feel betrayed.
  24. How does that fit in with "shouldn't I want to help people?"
  25. Being that deeply connected with someone would have severe side effects.
