If you burn atium with duriluminum you can see the ultimate consequences of your actions. If you have enough atium you might be able to determine it.

I believe that Kala means storm although I would have to check Nahz's notes. They are in Oathbringer I believe.

I am not trying to discount her I am saying that we don't have any evidence. We have several theories of various quality(I happen to like a lot of them) but no definitive proof of ability the way we have with the scadrail shards or with Cultivation.

See Kaladin chapter 1 killing of WoK. Various effects make us believe that Syl was there at the time and she apparently had no problems with Kaladin outmaneuvering somone on the battlefield. We have no idea why Honor sided with humans. At the time of his "siding" we don't know if the humans were still adhering to the ancient pact. It is possible that the Parshendi broke their word first or at least broke it more egregiously. What do you think Moash did when he joined with Kaladin?

Era two. Ruin started messing things up in small ways by altering the mists. Reshek kept everything together(sort of) by moving stuff making the planet warmer adding ash mounts and so on. Sazed mostly set everything back to default with some minor improvements Moving a continent would alter ocean, currents ecology, and a bunch of other stuff that could lead to even more problems.

ERRRRRRRR!

Good catch. Roshar's ecology was designed for a specific purpose(we do not know what it is yet) however mundane solutions are acceptable. We don't always have to go looking for the latest conspiracy. While this is possible his surge is wired and does not seem to realy work that way.

The short answer is that time is not the same in the spiritual realm or perhaps that all times are one. Either way correct use of the spiritual realm can allow future sight. Vivenna warns that most humans with the other of Hoid do not realy benefit from this power or know how to use it effectively. Fortune is more of a force that draws people together at specific moments. Think of it more like destiny then luck.

DO NOT EVEN.

Hmm. Not sure matching Steris is possible via zinc compounding. That girl has game.

A thick aluminum alloy Mistborn spoiler should still not have any real trouble blocking a sword.

Moash does not seem to fit in in with other darkeyed names that we have heard. I think he is different then your average darkeyes. There names are generally much shorter and they are created by generally illiterate people who don't necessarily have time for wordsmithing or the necessary knowledge of grammar and linguistics.

Patterned after original human homeworld. Human homeworld could quite conceivably by even more earthlike.

And hiding is a large part of some forms of combat. Even more so against potentially superior enemies. Hiding does not equal not involved.

The two situations do not strike me as analogous. Endowment has stated that she is not involved and refuses to help Hoid with Odium. Cultivation has never stated she is not involved(her partner was just killed saying so would be ridiculous) and she is working steadily to undermine Odium however she can(Dalinar, potentially Lift and Taravangian).

Elhokar has a complicated relationship with his uncle. Think about it. They both know that Dalinar would make a better king(say what you will about Elhokar but he is not that stupid) but they both also know that Elhokar has to be king. This puts a strain on their relationship. Dalinar realy does love Elhokar and says as much several times and Elhokar does love his uncle(he is just paranoid and not particularly good at expressing himself). This is also Kaladin we are talking about. Everything is about Tein when he is concerned. This is my interpretation. I think @Pathfinder did this one fairly well. Kaladin's job as a bodyguard is eliminating threats but he is also trained as a soldier more then anything. His natural inclination is to tun to and eliminate his target. Adolin is used to fighting with his father. Throughout WoK the two of them expend a lot of effort guarding each other on the battlefield so his natral inclination is to run to is battle partner.

The Stormfather says that she is hiding and calls it "cowardice" Dalinar points out that hers might be the correct course of action. I don't believe anything Odium says should be taken at face value but all he says is that she does not care about good or bad provided that growth happens. Wyndal says "she does not care anymore" but he is probably just wining(like he is about everything else). He gives no indication that this is anything more then something he is afraid of.

Accept earth was not created by Ruin and Preservation(to the best of my knowledge).

I am hoping for a more Melaan focused book. We had one focused on each of the other side characters.

This is a problem but it does rely on finding a way to disable, damage, ambush or weaken an opponent who is many times smarter then you. Also even without combat training you will still begin to pick up on things.

I do not recall her ever saying that.

Well we have seen no on screen singers on other planets to the best of my knowledge so that leaves humans and aimians. I think an aimian would be obvious for physical reasons so has anybody spotted unusually tall individuals walking around during any of the other books?

My point is that at least two people who she supposedly used future sight to create are both acting against her stated intentions.

Zinc would also help against ambushes. You could spot the best sniper positions and cover from them. It also has applications for tactics and strategy that atium does not(a seer would make a terrible commander but a zinc compounder would be extremely good).

I would not want to fight a zinc compounder hand to hand. I would loose extremely quickly
