Try starting from one premise and then checking each new idea for compatibility.

I think RShara covers this fairly well. Welcome to the 17th shard!

Kaladin is trying unconsciously when his powers first develop. He is trying to run a little faster and I assume he wants to avoid being hit by arrows. His powers activate in such a way that it fulfills the desire. Ruin was supplying the necessary intent their by influencing the thug. Depending on how spiked the thug was Ruin could have been using him like an automaton or even just nudging the thug's unconscious mind so that things worked out the way Ruin wanted them to.

Not exactly captivity. Keeping it pend up is a no. Instead train it when young by giving food for good behavior and find some way to inflict pain for bad behavior. As a person who has taken courses in Chemistry at the collage level. I can say with confidence that I know more about the chemical nature of the world then any Rosharan. I can also say that I have only the most rudimentary idea of how to make a synthetic gemstone. I seriously doubt this included chemistry. Why would it? Assuming you are not at a level where you can easily make gunpowder (which Roshar does not have) I see no practical use for any type of chemical knowledge beyond some rudimentary techene.

I do not think the young are that small and Casmfiends have demonstrated enough intelligence that I think they could be trained considering that plenty of Rosharan's have experience training animals and none have any experience in what you are talking about(maybe the Heralds do but considering Tezim the great's letter to Dalinar I am not optimistic about their usefulness). Hey Ishar how do you.. LIFT UP YOUR HEADS MEN OF THE EAST TO HEAR YOUR GOD'S PROCLAMATION!!

I imagine they would if they had any idea what gemstones were made of or how to produce them but they do not. Metals can be produced by purifying metals humans figured that one out at the literal end of the stone age prior to recorded history. They did not figure out the chemestry necessary to produce gemstones until after the discovery of conversion theory and stoichiometry (which the Rosharans do not have and are not even close to having from what we have seen) by Antoine Lavoisier(one of my personal science heroes). I must add that in order to preform his experiments Lavoisier had to be one of the wealthiest men on the planet and be a virtual Einstein(and his work was not truly completed and likely would not have been if his wife had not been equally smart). After that you would still need to discover a decent form of potash which I am not sure exists on Roshar and then this megagenius would have to find the Radiants with the interest and time to preform the experiments(their are about 3 dustbringers and less then a hundred windrunners available on Roshar at the moment and I imagine they are all going to be a bit busy). In short I do not think this is going to happen for at least half a decade if not longer. Breading Casmfiends sounds a bit easier to be honest.

Rshara is correct here. The gemstones are not fabrails. They are a serendipitous discovery made during an attempt to ornament shardblades.

Granted, but its not your cup of tea. I wish for a universal ending to headaches.

Then you are quite fortunate. Thats the problem. During a realy bad day it can be hard or even impossible to care about the victim even if I can recognize intellectually that they deserve it. Remember the other thing they call Odium? The void who sucks in emotion? He actually tends to make people feel less.

Adhesion. They have the theoretical ability but they do not have the chemical background yet. They need to know what they are doing before they can just apply heat and pressure. Also I have no idea if Roshar produces things like potash or even coal.

Anyone who managed to spike out Stick's destiny would immediately become the scariest thing the the cosmere.

A reasonable and I believe supported deduction. He now has supperpowers and a bunch of kandra sidekicks. I believe that this would have been much latter. He would want to conquer the world first. Inquisitors are enforces they are of limited use on a wide scale battlefield where they can get flanked and overwhelmed. If they have no spikes they are not inquisitors. They were likely made from stronger alomancers but all alomancy was just stronger back then so that is not noteworthy.

Axi are an idea of theoretical smallest substances. We on earth would likely say atom. The concept of the atom was taught by Democritus over two thousand years ago. While the uncertainty principle is interesting it is of no practical value in attempting to form synthetic gemstones. The actual possess involved in creating them artificially means you must have the ability to produce high heat and pressure as well as an understanding of chemistry that they do not yet have. I am not trying to say that Rosharan scientists are incompetent or backward. They simply lack the knowledge and understanding as well as the ability to acquire it and do what you suggest.

Thing is it does not. Hate can often by a profound lack of emotion and that is often when it is at its most dangerous. There actually are a large number pf worldhoppers. Some confirmed and some suspected. While we do often go overboard we have no actual evidence that in any way proves or even demonstrates a lack of otherworldly involvement in many cases.

Only by suicide.

I know he has no control over the visions. My point was that he is using the visions to scew over Odium once he has them and that I think I have found an example.

How could this be passive?

The only Shin that can go to Shadesmar is the one with Battar's blade. They do not have the ability to go back.

Also I do not think that they can kill people personally.

I meant raising Chasmfiends specifically for gemhearts. It will still be several hundred years for Rosharans to figure out the kind of synthesis you are talking about. Remember they still belive everything is made of the 10 essences.

It will do you no good. For the power of toast is with me!

Interesting thought. It may just be a theme of the Rosharn system. 9 and the extra one not Honor's specifically.

BUTTER???

I am going to go out on a lim and say that they are on Roshar. I don't have proof but I think it is a reasonable assumption. I also do not think they are in Shadesmar as the Shin do not have access to Cultivation's perpendicularity and we have no idea how anyone could use Honor's.

He could probably burn slower then normal but metelminds are more precise.
