Any time. Unfortunately there are no dogs that are not Kandra in the Cosmere.

It is possible. What do you think forms of power are?

No she would not. Otherwise every soldier would have one for killing fused by now.

All of them?

No. He has even RAFOed the symbols.

This makes perfect sense. If Vo tried to hid (ie suppress) his nature (as no one new what was happening to him and he was scared) he would have ended up with children as a result. I don't think anyone at the time new how to give away breaths.

They would take out their preservation symbols to try and ward him off like a vampire.

I am fairly certain this is what they are doing but spren seem pretty hard to kill. They are ideas composed of pure investiture I don't think you can just hit them. Sure but you don't have to be capable of using something personally to know that it is valuable and worth protecting. Evi was important enough to marry Dalinar due to her plate even if she did not know how to wear it herself. Lift was chosen for several reasons that Wyndle lists if you pay attention. He was given the responsibility by the ring. She had to sneak away. I don't think anyone new what she was planning. Granted your hypothetical supercryptic may have also made such a decision but I have a hard time believing the Cryptic government would allow a rebellious teenager access to the equivalent of nukes or would leave him unsupervised long enough for him to sneak away.

Don't you think Honor would mention his sacrifice in vision to Dalinar? Also he say "Oduim has killed me" implying that his role was passive not active. This is not definitive proof of course but it is an indication.

I think the fused would work quite hard to hunt down a potential Radiant. Also why would a supercryptic go on a dangerous mission to bond Elhokar?

I don't think that they are going to go on the offensive. After a few losses by commanders that are too aggressive rational heads will have the outermost settlements dig in hoping for what could essentially become a siege of Elandel. I view that as more of an Era 3 type deal.

Fame never dies!

So you think that the war I am highlighting will look something like our first world war? You don't think anything either power grants will make that much of a difference?

I was implying the existence of a superparshendi the size of a giant(mostly as a joke).

How? They don't have a body.

I understand and even appreciate the reference.

I think starting with Wayne would be a bit... Jarring.

It is the latter. I am trying to foresee how the conflict will go and how it will be different from our wars. This means putting any potential plan under the same scrutiny as a general might before implementing it. I think your plan would work but I do not think the one tactic will change the way warfare is fought. I will refer you to the americain civil war. The north had more technology, more and better railroads, more industry and more people then the south. The south still went to war despite Abe Lincoln pointing out quite early in the conflict that the North's numerical superiority clearly indicated that even if the North technically lost every battle they could still win the war eventually. Remember in Bands of Morning Kelesina points out that the outer reaches are ready to go to war despite similar disadvantages out of anger. Radio communication is extremely important during warfare. However even telegraphs do make a difference. Both Napoleon and Lincoln used them during their careers often to great effect.

They do. In Bands of Morning the bank IDs them by asking the Reddi back in Elendel via telagraph. Also I was not going to mention this but triple posting is a bit much. I meant if the army the army A is attack army B with your strike team. Army B will likely have several different alomancers burning including but not limited to moral boosting rioters and soothers, several seekers in different locations, tineye snipers also in several different locations, and maybe even an oracle(you have not yet mentioned how your strike team is going to deal with those). Assuming a coppercloud is relatively circular some of these are going to be silenced to the seeker. Your confusion probably comes because I was asumming a much bigger cloud then you were. Making that small a cloud risks exposure if someone makes a mistake(a coinshot goes to low or too high for example). If you put the coppercloud too close to the back then any coinshot that gets too close to the ground will be detectable. If you put the coppercloud too close to the front then the silence will tell the seekers where to look. Also just relised that a well trained lurcher can spot moving metal at range. Does every piece of metal pushed or pulled on need to in the coppercloud or only the alomancer themselves?

Depending on the number of alomancers in the army a seeker could still tell direction by which alomancers went silent first.

What they both said.^^

Some good points but... I don't think an individual coinshot can keep track of everybody in an entire army shooting at them which is what they would need to do. A group of lurchers provided with some aluminum cases might be able to destabilize a coinshot for long enough for someone to shoot them. Seekers would most likely be paired for redundancy. If they suddenly stop feeling each other they will know about the cloud and raise the alarm. I wonder if you can prevent a tineye from being blinded by something like sunglasses. Also the tineye does not have to do the shooting themselves just spot you in time to raise the alarm. Finally if the tineye is doing the shooting themselves you still must outrange them with whatever kind of flare you are using. The flair has to be close enough to blind them but you have to be far enough away that they cannot see you and still not announce your presence with a flare?

Shallan's discussion of objective truth with Pattern. I can't remember where it is but she mentions that things in the CR are more fluid while things in the spiritual realm are perfect. Also those two ardents who are discovering the uncertainty principle debate theology by mentioning that in the spiritual realm perhaps those whose calling is to cook will make ideal food is the SR when they die. Also during Gavilar's funeral in Oathbringer they ardent mentions the three realms...

Educated Rosharans know about the spiritual realm.
