Friendshipspren

Granted. But it is a great substitute. It's simply not popular with the older generation and they hold all the keys so we have to keep down for now. In a few yrs ,the substitutes will be popular and the next generations will wonder why they used to make such a big deal out of it . I wish for Asoiaf to be finished in a qualitatively 100xbetter way than the tv show. Oh damnation ninja'd. Nandayo ? Granted. However , the world has 4 spatial dimensions making trigonometry obsolete. I wish for Asoiaf to be finished in a qualitatively 100xbetter way than the tv show.

It's the name of the new awakened blade. Called so because of the riot of garishly bright and nauseatingly colorful glimpses of the SR.

Granted You are provided the surge of adhesion and can ice-skate perfectly. However , People will grow envious of your skills , discriminate against you , think you unnatural And decide to ironically burn you on the ice court as a witch. My wish is hmmm I want to be a Chrome compounder.

You aren't getting it from the Nightwatcher. YoU are getting it from Brightriot . The curse doesn't have to be separate , it can be two facets of the same thing. Like how my lifeless Koloss armies are both my boon and my bane. The aluminum might protect you from nicking yourself. But it won't stop the cognitive translation of the spiritual realm from saturating your mind. It doesn't travel in waves like soothing or rioting which I guess work when they hit you on your brain. Aluminum hats are ok for that. But when you are wielding Brightriot , you have a physical connection with it through your arm. Hats won't work but gloves might. Huh. But wait you are also connected spiritually right. That's why it can feed on your investiture but I guess aluminum gloves would break that too. Hmm ok but if you wear aluminum Brightriot will automatically decide you are evil. Yeah about the grammar I should write properly. I'm gonna write like in a exam or interview and get kicked out or something. I will try to rein in the impulse to break Grammer.

I guess rewriting ur cognitive self by ascending will work out. Not so sure about aluminum hats , the flashes aren't really investiture. It's information , mind warping information. It manifests by magical means but it itself isn't magic. Breaths and nahel bonds might be able to help u but only by a few seconds . I know I said a minute but now I'm not so sure , they don't really help u deal with information like zinc compounding will. So I'm guessing it will give u an extra 10- 20 seconds. They may save u from insanity but u will still get dizzy and delirious and if u hold on for more than 4 minutes ur C-self will still die. That is if u don't nick urself.

@Llstml zinc compounding will perhaps allow u to overcome the information overload. However u can still use it for a minute tops . Only a full shard can withstand the shocking overpowering charged glimpses of the spiritual realm. Even with compounding ur mind doesn't truly expand . U require more than just increased speed of thought , u require entirely new cognitive faculties and a.......greater volume of thoughts as well. The information provided doubles every flash btw. This only applies if u are a natural zinc compounder. If u were to use hemalurgy u will need a minimum of 2 spikes. The spikes will allow compounding but they will also harm u spiritually , warping ur cognitive self as well making u weaker against the onslaught of information. So then u will be able to wield it for 30-40 seconds tops for 1 spike , 20-30 for two ,depending on ur mental fortitude. I also don't know how being a radiant or breaths will help u but find it easier even then for no more than 1 minute tops. And even then it will soon wear u down. U will feel the mental equivalent of a pewter drag after using it for a minute and will be out for days . Also similar to pewter savanthood , it will kill ur mind or atleast drive u insane , way before u develop the required resistance. Ur insanity will kill ur Spren too. Leaving u even more vulnerable.

Granted. U shall be provided the blade Brightriot, but simply holding it for too long will give sudden shocking , colourful glimpses into the spiritual realm as it feeds directly from it and ur mind not being expansive enough to really understand it ,will be driven near insanity everytime u wield it. U will gain some benefits such as limited futuresight mimicking that of atium but since there is no enhancement of cognitive faculties like atium allomancy induces , u will simply be disoriented and confused in moments. U can only unsheath the blade for at most 10 seconds at a time. Any longer and u will become dizzy and nauseated and soon enough u will become delirious and incapable of telling friend from foe and might even Nick urself by accident. If that doesn't occur , u will soon be so cognitively unsound as to be unable to remember to sheath it. Keep it unsheathed for a few minutes and ur soul shall be safe but ur mind will be torn asunder. Ur cognitive self will die , leaving ur body a empty husk and a hole in ur spiritweb which can be used to turn u into a living lifeless. I wish for a lifeless Koloss army whose command phrases cannot be overridden by anyone.

Zane .Poor guy never had a chance between Straff as a father , poverty , ruin and the other tragic stuff he had to deal with. I guess he had to die . That was merciful in a way but still it was sad for me nonetheless.

1).Aww come on. It's just a bit off topic.. I promise I won't do it again. 2). @Honorless is a friend. I loved his post. Gave it a upvote.

Hmm how about carbon nanofibre man then ? Not as catchy but can technically do the job. Or wait univested right. So how about if u just invest it. Take iron to a iron compounder, have him/her fill it to the brim with weight . Ta daa , no more allomantic vulnerability. U can be iron Man after all.

Woah , calm down Satan.

I want the storming Rinne - sharingan.

How about titanium man then ? Oh wait can u push / pull on only the 16 metals or all metals ? I'm guessing the latter, otherwise I'm sure nickel bullets would be prevalent by now

I think I would take up cultivation. Seems cool and chilled out. Ascend. Find some quite backwater planet. Settle it alone. Help humans or other species develop Into the space age into the post scarcity era , then idk

So could a brass compounder increase his body temperature to extreme levels without igniting himself , but igniting his surroundings ? I mean for example skimmers and iron compounders could increase thier weight exponentially and thier bodies wouldn't be crushed under thier own weight. Similarly do brass compounders or firesouls have resistance to thier own increased bodyheat. If so could they be like Firefight was supposed to be like in the reckoner series. ( I have only read Steelheart so please no spoilers on incendiary type epics if there are any , no spoilers about the other two books at all ). Like bullets would melt around them and stuff. That would be pretty cool. If that isn't possible , what about if the person would be a compounder in both gold and brass ? Say it's hemalurgy or result of breeding or whatever . Or oh right Tlr. If so , would the person actually undergo spontaneous human combustion but heal just as rapidly ? But wait wouldn't the metals or metalminds or spikes melt then , atleast the gold ones. Would they still be useful in the molten state ?

Now what if someone were able to compound electrum and gain infinite access to determination. Would that be enough to gain multiple hemalurgic spikes and still maintain ur Autonomy ?

1). I know it isn't a multiverse. It was just a thought. I mean come on tlr with Nightblood 2.0 and lifeless Koloss armies !!!!! Add in the honorblade surges and shardplate too. 2). I wasn't talking about resonances. I was referring to the way allomancy and feruchemy interact in compounding for instance. Take compounded steel with abrasion for example. 3). Also I don't see a limit on the number of magic systems u can have. Esp when talking about honorblades and breaths.

@Nnatel, Spren are similar to shades but there's a key difference. Spren are cognitive beings and have negligent properties in the physical realm. Most Spren can only exist momentarily in the physical realm . Some like windspren can play a few tricks with adhesion. They require a nahel bond to do more and even then most of the action is executed by the human or singer host. Seons and skaze seem to be even more harmless. Threnodite shades on the other hand , even one of them are extremely dangerous. They can not only manifest in the physical realm they can destroy entire creatures by thier own effort without a host to catalyse thier action. Parshendi shades are almost harmless without singer or human hosts to provide them with the reqd bodies The thunderclasts are the big exception but even they manifest via stone and they are few in number compared to the hordes of shades . Threnodite shades of on the other hand can be said to be almost incorporeal or atleast just like dispersed ectoplasm. Yet they can have such a strong destructive physical reaction with objects in the physical realm. @The traveller u both mention she could have cannibalized on parts of Odium altering her intent. I guess it would be possible but would Odium really go up against 2 shards at the same time if he were missing chunks of himself. I guess ambition would have to integrate a large chunk of Odium if it were to be enough to alter her intent. Idk , while feasible and probably makes more sense than my theory. I still think retribution could be a tangent of Ambition alone , a different angle on the same crystal. Nice to know u guys atleast partially agree to my theory. And . Wait I thought Ambition was splintered or atleast khriss thought so. My theory is like she is partially splintered , but still somehow loosely held together on all three realms by her threnodite shade like entity now. But if she were completely splintered like honor , then I guess it would be hard for the pieces of the shard to find a new vessel. I mean the closest honor got to a new vessel was when Dalinar combined the three realms momentarily. That's not much really. Not compared to Vin or sazeds Ascensions. Dominion and devotion didn't even get that

@robardin yep I'm 20 yrs old and I live in India. So I have no idea what that reference means. . Edit: ok I googled it and came up with a song named Luka so I guess

@robardin, @John203 what about nicrosil compounding. Ok first of all maybe during his Ascension he created a small secret stockpile of it .Hell he was able to move planets , that wouldn't be all that incredible in comparison. Now correct me if I'm wrong but u store investiture in nicrosil right . So like could u burn brass , then store the soothing effect in nicrosil instead of directing it outside and then when required u burn the nicrosil mind and boom u have atleast 10X the original soothing effect. He didn't usually have too much reason to come out and show it. He only had to do be in a crowd like 5 times a yr Maybe. So he could quite possibly be using nicrosil compounding to enhance his allomancy. Atleast that's how I thought nicrosil compounding worked . As to why he didn't tell about these metals on the steel plates. No idea. Maybe he thought if he were dead , he would already run out of them .

@Quantus. Wait what ? Quote Chaos Did the Lord Ruler's children have something to do with the Lord Ruler's plot to once "give up" in the Final Empire? Brandon Sanderson Yes. /r/books AMA 2015 (June 5, 2015) What was the plan to give up ? I haven't heard of it before ?

Wait what ??? He was stronger than elend. I thought he was only as strong as spook or maybe equal to him. I thought he basically compounded weight and what not to make himself look stronger. I didn't know that. How does that work ? Like how can u make urself stronger than a Lerasium Mistborn ? And why did harmony make spook a considerably weaker mistborn then ?

@asmodeus. Yep it does a bit. Welcome to the shard btw

So I just read a question about whether the Cosmere was a multiverse or if it prescribed to the 'many worlds' theory. Which got me thinking . What if in an alternative timeline , tlr decided to leave Scadrial , either out of apathy or he was able to get a political system to remain stable without him acting as a linchpin. Suppose he went to roshar , used hemalurgy to kill the heralds , ok maybe not kill them but used it to steal thier connection with the blades and stole thier honor blades , then destroyed the spikes thereby eliminating the risk of them summoning it right back . Hell maybe he wouldn't even need to kill the heralds , after all the shin had 8 blades. Maybe he could take them out . It would be hard but not impossible. Esp not for tlr. Got control over all ten surges . Got himself some shardplate too while he was at it. Figured out a way to turn metal based investiture into stormlight via zinc compounding. Then suppose he went to nalthis , got some 10s of thousands of breath by bullying the ppl or something. Got himself weaned from atium compounding. Followed the example of the 5 scholars and made himself a Nightblood 2.0 , used zinc compounding and tortured vasher to gain the know-how. It would be hard to fight vasher but seeing that denth was able to do it . I'm sure he could have too. The new blade's orders would be to kill tlr's enemies based on tlr's opinion. A much more specific command compared to destroy evil. And guess what ? Lifeless Koloss!!!!!!! Then there's the way magic systems interact to give a something greater than the sum of the parts. How would awakening , surgebinding of 2-10 surges, hemalurgy , feruchemy and allomancy interact in a single person ? Just a thought I had.

So the number ten is sacred on roshar. But is 10 really a truly significant number or just a cultural lie ? Like on Scadrial it was assumed there were only 10 metals . But in reality it was 16 metals . Leras made it a constant which can be recognized anywhere.Tlr suppressed knowledge of the other metals and they didn't have the technology to refine then either Similarly could it be that there are other surges , 6 of them undiscovered cause technology and scientific progress hasn't really increased. I guess electricity could be considered a surge. So could strong or weak nuclear forces. Now the surges aren't strictly limited to natural forces , concepts like transformation and Transportation are alive and can be bound as well. So there might be undiscovered concepts like maybe , quantum mechanics or qbits. The surge of Information. Perhaps relative time could also be a surge similar to allomantic cadmium and bendalloy. But then again maybe I'm overthinking. Maybe 16 was leras's obsession and it's significance is endemic to the scadrian system ? So whatchu think ? Any WoBs ?
