Friendshipspren

Unsealed metalminds right. damnation why didn't I think of it . And with being mistborn. He can definitely compound then. But wait he just ate the Lerasium. I thought Mr Brandon said that he knew what it's real purpose was and oh so I guess he has achieved that goal along with the side effect of becoming mistborn. Noice

So right now we know Hoid has a bead of Lerasium , has done much research on selish magic systems and it can be inferred he has done research on and might have access to Taldainite magic systems as well. He also might be bonded to a Cryptic , giving him access to illumination and transformation. He has conclusively been known to have used Yolish lightweaving and nalthisian awakening. He also seems to use fortune and healing through some as yet unknown method , possibly through some pre-shattering magic system. He probably has access to other pre or post shattering magic systems as well. Let's just refer to these as Hoidbindings. So now my question is how many of these magic systems can he access ? How many of the magic systems have been bound by Hoid ? He has been implied to use allomancy . Is it true ? If it is , I guess it's due to his access to Lerasium somehow , right ? But he has been said to be a feruchemist as well . This I don't understand. 1). Is it true ? 2). Feruchemy doesn't seem to have an analog to Lerasium , although I guess u could alloy it with atium to get a feruchemy endowing compound ??? 3). I read this other theory somewhere that Hoid is the progenitor of all ( atleast all scadrian) feruchemists. Like ,it said that feruchemy was a pre shattering magic system and Hoid during his newly immortal ill spent youth had a dalliance or two with some women in Scadrial giving rise to the Terrismen. I actually thought this was true but after joining the Shard I realize it's probably false , right ? 4). So then how else could he have acquired or will acquire feruchemy ? Or is it a deadend , that is, feruchemy is totally off limits to him ? So this is my question . Also could u guys list out all the Hoidbindings he has in potential or in reality , pre and post shattering. Thank you.

So twinborn have resonances , and compounders are a subset. So does miles have a resonance ? Is it his pain blindness ?

Ok I read white sand volume 3 yesterday and I have a few questions 1).Ok so in the comic u see a female face in the clouds watching the actions going on below. I know it's autonomy but does it signify anything , like is autonomy seriously interested in human affairs ? or is it just that the artist thought it would be cool to give obvious Clue's to the greater nature of the Cosmere ? 2). How come Baon is way more powerful at Sandmastery than even Drile ? 3). If overmastery leads to increased power , could Drile use it to eventually control as many as 50 or more ribbons ? Could Kenton learn to control 25 or more ribbons eventually ? 4). Why did the Diem keep this knowledge a secret ? I mean , sure keep it secret in the training years but after that let it be known. For example , after testing kenton's determination and his success even when restricted to a single ribbon , they could have easily told him the secret and made him powerful . 5). I'm guessing the singer at the going to darkside is Hoid. What in damnation is he doing in Taldain ? I thought Bavadin stormin hated him . I thought he would never risk going there. I mean roshar is one thing. Odium was kinda lying low and I guess the other shards cloaked or protected him intentionally or not. Besides Rayse had a lot of other stuff to deal with , so he couldn't focus on hoid. But taldain is a mono-Shardic planet and autonomy is pretty free . Hell he got found out by endowment and she warned him off. I'm sure bavadin won't be near as generous. She even says her child/avatar on obrodai is programmed to hate him .

Now i don't think this is of any great import to the current events on Roshar but I gotta say I loved the story of Sadees. He sounds like a hybrid character , like a cross between Alexander the great and Timur the lame. So my question is , how much do we know about him ? Are there any WoBs about him. Like why was he called the Sunmaker ? How much of Roshar did he conquer ? Now it's clear he conquered Alethkar , Jah keved and Herdaz . But did he conquer both Tu bayla and triax or just one of them ? We know he invaded Azir but was he successful in conquering all of the makabaki region , what about the kingdoms ringing the Purelake ? Did he try to invade Shinovar or were the Mountains too formidable to cross ? I'm guessing he didn't invade Iri or Rira , seems too far away to me . Could it be that he conquered Thaylenah , that would explain how they are like half vorin , but I guess it's not true. The alethi never have a naval power. They say so much in oathbringer I think. Could he have stumbled upon Urithiru ? Is he just a fringe character like Alendi in mistborn or does he have a greater influence in the future of the series ?

Also would mistborn suffer from savanthood if they flared tin like spook ? Would tlr also suffer from negative side effects of general allomantic savanthood and compounding savanthood ??

U know I think I would enjoy that as homework . Also @Tommen , tvlavk would have enslaved, raped , robbed or even killed shallan if she hadn't made him think she was worth more alive and in the shattered plains than dead/enslaved. During the entire journey , he keeps shallan in maximum discomfort to make her feel more dependant on him. At the end she gives him 5 emerald broams. I think that's enough reward for how he treated her. Also u must remember that all lighteyed , including Dalinar and possibly jasnah , adolin , renarin are ok with slavery. They would of course treat them well and give them more freedom . They are like fish swimming in water. The systems all they know. While they can think about being better , like jasnah and Dalinar do. It's not everyone's cup of tea. Esp not shallan as she has enough problems as it is to worry herself ragged about.

Yeah that makes sense. Nice point . Also welcome to the shard

So when hoid meets kelsier in the well of Ascension , he kinda implies he was behind tlr's fall and refers to kelsier as a tool or something . So did hoid want to release Ruin so that Ruin could have battled odium. Hoid does say to dalinar that he would be willing to watch roshar burn , with tears yes but with no regret if it meant odium would fall . Wouldn't the same case apply for Scadrial ? It would explain what hoid was doing staying on Scadrial knowing ruin would destroy the planet, instead of hopping back into the cognitive realm and leaving Scadrial behind after pocketing the Lerasium. Hoid can live through a lot of things but I doubt he could live through the destruction of a world. Unless of course he had already made a deal with ruin , he would free ruin and in return ruin had to do him a favor , a destructive one ofcourse. So could it be true or did he someother reason to stay ? If so what was the reason ? Was it just hoids Spidey sense going wrong or did he think he could simply ingest the Lerasium and compound to survive the destruction of the planet and the vacuum of space ? Did he have enough metals to do that ? Wait but if preservation were to be splintered would allomancy and compounding work ? Wait did hoid intend to do harm to Vin ? Like I know he can't hurt anyone but maybe he could have given Vin false info so that she would invade fadrex and ruin would get his atium ? Also how did he manage to beat up kelsier so bad in the cognitive realm. I thought he had some sort of cognitive impedence regarding violence but he beat up kel in the CR so.... Oh is it that he couldn't actually harm kel , like he could beat him but apart from feeling pain kel wouldn't he harmed . Sorry I'm going all over the place now. My main question is was he behind tlr's fall ? Holy storm , Maybe mare was a female herald sent to manipulate Kel by hoid. She wasn't a tineye , she had a Spren or something . I mean it's a long shot but maybe the way he uses fortune helped him form a nebulous plan that worked with ruin's cooperation ?

Ok so aona and skai , were they friends ? lovers ? Enemies ? Or was it more of a master -servent relationship with Dominion being the master ? Did they settle together or did Dominion follow Devotion knowing she would the easiest to ,u know dominate . Was skai thinking of establishing power over all or atleast a few shards and started with devotion ? But khriss mentions that d and d spent a lot of time molding society on SEL so could it be that Dominion was like consolidating his power or getting used to it. Like harmony has no idea what he should or shouldn't do with his power. I suppose the Sixteen faced similar problems at first. Or maybe they were both at war and weakened each other , thereby making it easy for rayse to finish them ? Also did aona hate dominion's hold over her and when odium came rebelled against him but was double Crossed ? Or was it the opposite and Dominion joined forces with odium to bring down devotion. I mean , skai probably knew rayse and thought he was a friend ? Or maybe Aona thought that way ? Also why did odium kill aona ? I mean wouldn't it more efficient if he could have made her devoted to him. Have her help in crushing other shards and then either betray her or just keep devotion like a pet ? How much do we know about them and thier actions and plans ?

I think it's set on another continent or atleast south of the great desert of Opelon. It might be faux meso-american , faux west African or faux Indian. I hope it's faux Indian. India gets represented very little even tho it has as much historical impact as China or Rome . I really wish Mr. Sanderson would rectify that .

I would love it if the third one were based on India. India has been represented very little in fantasy.

So what will it be , stormlight book 10 or Mistborn era 4 or someother book ?

Well idk what u are talking about , I love shallan. Sure most of her jokes don't quite make u laugh out loud but it's not cringy either. Besides by oathbringer her jokes improve a lot. The only thing I hated about her was that she stole kaladins boots. Jesus ppl of lower eyecolour have things hard enough as it is without lighteyed girls being mean to them. And I think she apologized for that too didn't she ? I don't remember ,maybe she didn't but she did feel really bad about it once kaladin pointed it out in the chasms. Also she was with tyn at the time so peer pressure played a role I guess. I mean she was still a slontze then but that's the only thing I hated about her

Ah like that short story , the ones who walk away from omelas.

What does friendstormed mean ?

Ok so why aren't Spren more common in the Cosmere ? I understand they are like bits of shards namely honor and cultivation. But why only roshar ? Sure seons and skaze are basically Spren but they aren't nearly as diverse as Spren , not to mention Spren have entire ecosystems in the cognitive realm. Hmmm could if be that Spren could exist on Sel as well , but the dor is dangerous to them too , like sel's cognitive realm is the magical equivalent of a nuclear wasteland from what I've read and so could it be that only the seons and skaze which reside completely in the physical realm survived ?? Also are Spren present on Ashyn ? Khriss says they are present on braize too but idk. I'm pretty sure braise is only inhabited by parshendi ghosts . And it's stated that Highstorms were phenomenon that existed before the Shattering , albeit in a less magical way . So could Spren have existed pre shattering as well ? Maybe they would all be non sentient and very less diverse and rarer but could they exist without Shardic investiture . If that's the case , then again why only Roshar or the greater Rosharan system as the case maybe ??? Also there's the ambiguity about ambition. Like we know she was splintered but don't know if her investiture was contained into the cognitive realm like the dor , but I guess it probably wasn't. So could Spren also exist somewhere in the threnodite system or the hypothetical planet where ambition went to die ?

Hey can anyone come up with a cool name for double chromed ppl. I would also like to learn cool names for other compounders

I read that gold compounders could go without oxygen . Is it true ? If so , does it have any limitations ( apart from gold costing lots more than cadmium but then again it's era 2 and cadmium's still costly ) or does it make cadmium feruchemy or compounding completely redundant ? Even with cadmium cost going down ? Also if it's not true , why didn't anyone try to choke miles hundredlives ?

Ok I get ur point. But suppose he de-aged himself to a 20 yr old , then he could grow till 40 naturally , then try the trick again . I wonder if feruchemy's law of decreasing return would be made null by it ? If it were , tlr would be immortal in the true sense. Also , wait would it be temporary or not , like would his age be stabilized. Like he could stop burning atium and still be 20 yrs old and aging normally. If that's the case then no chance of him dying by rapid aging by which he died .

Well not a baby exactly. Like suppose he limited the amount of charged atium he burned so he would only turn into a teen or like a 20 yr old. Of course it would take trials and errors but he could start by using very small quantities of charged atium ( that would de-age him 1 yr or a few months ) at first till he gets a better idea and grasp of it . Also since he's the only guy who can burn charged atium and knows about duralumin and about atium's feruchemical application and about feruchemy itself ( very few ppl knew about feruchemy thanks to his suppression of terris culture ) and then there's the fact he's the only guy who can afford that much atium , I think it wouldn't be too hard to pull it off as another divine miracle.

Ok then why didn't tlr just do that or is it temororary . Like u get to be a baby for 3 seconds and then age back ?

Really , wax has less muscle . Oh yeah it's like how astronauts suffer from muscular atrophy during prolonged habitation in low gravity environments. Damnation I never thought of that. And here I was thinking storing weight was harmless and wondering why Wax only stored 25% instead of like 90%

Idk . What if a firesoul getting spent time around a warn fire or a sauna or something , then stored all the uncomfortable heat into the medallions ? I know firesouls aren't fire proof but they should be able to be comfortable in warm places and manage to store up large amounts of heat .

So I found this interesting WoB. Questioner What happens if you burn duralumin while Compounding? Brandon Sanderson Duralumin while Compounding. So, what duralumin does is it burns out of all of your metal in one burst. So it doesn't necessarily gain you power, it makes it all happen at the same time. The same thing would happen. Questioner Could you turn into a baby? Brandon Sanderson Oh, you could totally turn into a baby. That is within the power of using that, doing <health wrong>, yeah you could totally... You'd be really dangerous. Wth does it mean ? How could u turn into a baby by compounding gold. I know it stores like ur manifestation in space-time at the current moment and releases it back to recover from injuries by replacing ur current manifestation in space-time with ur old healthy , stored one . Your spiritual identity plays a role too. But I was under the impression that gold couldn't affect age . If it did , tlr would be running naked in luthadel ,drunk on joy. Tlr did know about duralumin right ?? So what does it mean ? Is it a joke ? A misquote ? Or is Lord Sanderson referring to some other metal ? Also yeah would happen if u burned duralumin while compounding atium ?
