Except that cannot be fully accurate as they still experience phenomena that can not be described in terms of entropy and stasis.

Adhesion is probably a smarter way of manipulating a liquid anyway.

? I agree that he is a BA but why is he a the?

True.

The Stormfather explains it best. At the very least he gives us most of our information. During a war between humans and singers the singers went to Odium for help. Odium gave them powers. One of these powers was functional immortality. You could kill one but provided their was another singer available it would come back. This meant the singers could replace their soldiers at a much faster rate then the humans could as almost the entire population of singers effectively became soldiers. This became even worse when the fused (reincarnating singers) figured out how to command surges. Ishar figured that they needed to stop this and with Honor's help figured out a method. Ten humans gave themselves up to trap the fused on Braize. As long as they were on Braize no fused could get past them. However Honor forgot that humans can break or bend promises. The humans gave their oaths that they would stay on Braize and not let any fused out(we do not realy know the mechanics). These humans now called Heralds under duress bent their promises allowing the fused out. When this happened all ten Heralds would return to Roshar to stop them. This caused a cycle of destruction called the desolations. Each conflict was so bad that it cent society back to the bronze age. Eventually the Heralds left Taln behind thus ending the cycle and starting the era of solitude until now. That is about what we know.

It would only need to be a few inches thick. This is actually thinner then the wall. If you make a tank to heavy then it can't move and that is a problem.

Sure but he can still see through it. There is no reason that metal would be impossibly difficult to see through especially an alloy that contained nonmetal components.

Have you finished Oathbringer?

We also know for a fact that trees are invested and have spiritwebs.

It is hard to explain. Adonalsium was everything and created everything. The shards are 16 pieces of him. Everything in the Cosmere is controlled by one or more shards at least indirectly. As Harmony says "I am not omnipotent but I believe that parts of me could be."

Did you mean Capital C connected? The shards are everywhere. They permeate everything. Even if Honor and Cultivation did not do anything to any specific group of people they still grow and have the capacity to keep oaths. Were made by two shards that is not the same thing.

Questioner Can plants have Hemalurgic properties? Brandon Sanderson ...As I have it in the notes right now, no. I could change that, but for right now, no. There's just not a way to get it to work, right now. But trees are still living things that have complex spirit webs and some innate investiture. I assume you can't get it to work because trees don't have veins or bindpoints.

What does this have to do with metal glowing?

Everyone in the Cosmere is part of multiple shards. Do you think that people from Scadrial do not get angry? I also highly doubt that Dalinar does not recognise that he wants more then one thing and has more then one nature. He may claim to be dense but he is not stupid. Having and navigating multiple impulses is part of life. While I agree that people from Alethkar tend to act like teenagers rather then responsible adults I fail to understand why you think that belonging to more then one shard is important for Dalinar's development.

Relevance?

This theory comes up fairly often which may be a good thing great minds think alike but I personally dislike it. It feels too similar to something we have seen before and I personally think giving Odium the join't abilities of teamwork and personal development sounds like a recipe for disaster. Also holding that many shards together is going to be tough. Still check out some of the other threads. Their is plenty of evidence both for and against.

Alloy of Law "Any metal that pierced a person’s body or touched his blood was very difficult to affect with Allomancy."

Metals that have been immersed in blood are hard to see with stealsight. I assumed the same for wood.

I would definitely say Vin, Spook and Saze are some of my favorite characters along with Wayne and some others but I am a bit confused with the newer series on why Mistborn’s are so uncommon. In the older one, I believe Kelsier once states that it is one in sixty Allomancers who are Mistborn’s ( you can correct me on this ) and now in the newer series their hasn’t been any talk of someone being a Mistborn. Due to the teris population mixing with the rest of the originators and the fact that their was only one mistborn at the time mistborn have been bread out of the general population(the combination of Alomancy and Ferouchemy mixed weirdly to this effect).

But the diagram does warn Odium about him.

I like alloy of law for how different it is. At first I did not like it but now I can actually appreciate the brilliance of allowing a magic system that we know of from a much older setting into a much newer one. I still have to say that Hero of Ages will always be the best of the series. Vin, Spook, and Saze are my favorite characters from Scadrial and they got the all star treatment.

I agree that to Dalinar Nohodon is now a bondsmith weather or not the historical figure that Dalinar refers to as Nohodon was actually a bondsmith. I do think that at least some of the quotes attributed to him probably did come from a historical figure with somewhat similar beliefs but I do think that Dalinar's perception is influencing him.

But your gold shadow is influenced by your cognitive aspect.

I think Moash had to be the one doing the killing. Remember the fused did not dare do it themselves.

I am fairly sure that the fused use surgebindings fueled by voidlight the same way we see a certain truthwatcher fuel voidbinding via stromlight.
