Frustration

There are multiple bind points in the heart.

That's still Preservation fueled duraluminum.

Wasn't Elend being fueled directly by Preservation at that point? Returned see more than just their first vision in their dreams and paintings. For example Allmother saw Lightsongs colors in her paintings, and his face in her dreams for the week leading up to her giving him her codes. And current events impact their dreams of the future

We aren't talking about draining shardplate though. And even if we were living plate only needs light to repair itself.

Eh, from the scenes with Kaladin the normal soldiers have leather caps and skirts, but no mail or gambison.

I move to ignore that and continue to use KoW, because we don't do TWoK we do WoK.

Oh, but we know for a fact Roshar still exists because the Ghostbloods themselves tell us it is and that they can't operate there without danger. SP 4 SotD 2 Next time you want to be snarky at least get your facts straight. I think they use them in AoL. Wax had to order his equipment from Elendel and had to wait months for it to get to him. During TLM electricity is only available in large cities, even with the additional two year epilogue I doubt it would have reached the roughs. How much experience do you have with guns? Hitting center mass of a target is the point beyond which training isn't worth it, and hitting a very specific region of the heart of a moving target would be next to impossible. And is duralumin even effective as a bullet? Remind me to look into that. They might have, Brandon said the Set interrogated someone who didn't want to share with them It isn't wrong, but they seemed to think that was enough at first. And besides Khriss says Stoneshaping has divination properties. Yes, he did, but it's easier on Roshar And we know for a fact being in prison killed them? They were already old according to Moash, they might have died anyway. The only confirmable crime was false imprisonment. Which you won't get. As seen by how almost an entire city decided to leave the Fused as soon as an opportunity presented itself. Which you have to pay for. Ardents are free. Given the current trajectory Roshar won't be at war by the end of SA 5 either. So if they need to study then how would they know how to refill them? You would have to spike the human the aviary had bonded to, and I don't think sacrificing your top operatives is a good idea Have you read Prime? There is no PoV of Braize. Nor are their any flashbacks from Taln. Trains are a bad analogy. It wouldn't be cost effective to have a train stop at everyone's home, and I doubt many people would want it. As for availability, when Dalinar burned the Rift he said that most officers had one, and by RoW most enlisted men can afford to send messages with one. In ten more years I expect most people to have at least one. Which they weren't able to make until after Roshar had theirs. Autonomy did most of it. In SoS Harmony says that the Basin should have radio by now and Wax has no idea what he's talking about. In BoM we see our first Radio, in the hands of the Set, and Wax has no idea what it is. In BoM Vendell mentions moving pictures, in TLM Marasi sees one, once again in the possession of The Set, and claims that is the first time she saw one. Later on Telsin says Autonomy is pushing her towards discovery, showing her the next steps in their development. And in the epilogue Kelsier says Autonomy shares technology with her people all the time. Actually some were made by the guild in Theylanah, which is noted even by Navani as being important. And Navani isn't going to give up Fabrials. Radiants don't have power of their own, it comes through their spren, so it would require a duralumin spike to steel the bond. I know, I already address it earlier in the thread. But here's the WoB.

1. Even under your model that isn't unlimited 2. That's not how that works. The amount of feruchemical trait is directly equivalent to the amount of metal burned, because compounding is just using Allomancy to fuel Feruchemy, and since Allomancy does not become more powerful the more you store in a metalmind, that amount of trait in your metalmind is irrelevant, you will get the same amount of trait out after compounding.

Leeching invested metal is harder to leech than univested metal. And Stormlight is FAR more invested than standard flakes. Add in the fact that it's active, and I fully expect division to continue working.

And? He had lost most of his power, barely able to heal, and unable to use basic lashings. And you know Jasnah is the peak of Elsecaller skill because? And Stonewards were noted(WoR 430) to take after Taln, the best fighter ever.

That's one WoB mentioning it, but he doesn't mention the difficulty, just that it's possible Here's two saying it's much harder to drain active investiture.

Her Transformation isn't different, and the stones said Radiant before they realized she was a singer, so their powers should be similar enough. Additonally Khriss notes that Stoneshaping has divination properties. Which was in response to his request. Eminent Domain means that in practice there is no difference. I keep forgetting you aren't a native speaker, you're so good. And it can refer to a thief depending on context, but it can also refer to someone, specifically children who live on the streets. He didn't kill anyone, he got two people falsely imprisoned. Because they aren't human. Scadrians won't convince any singers, because they too, are human. And the humans won't accept them, as seen by how almost an entire cityleft the fused control as soon as they got a chance. Wax and Marasi both gave spikes and notes to the university. On Scadrial only children can go, on Roshar it doesn't mater your age. On Roshar every Ardent is required to learn certain skills. It's a religious right that requires the ardents to teach them. I don't have the book on me but it would be somewhere around WoR 260, where Kaladin is entering the sparring grounds to watch Adolin and Renarin. The Malwish were willing to let half the Basin die if they didn't get the bands of Mourning. The canon status of Prime is irreverent. It doesn't matter what Taln's plot is, only that there is one, meaning he survives to SA 6. Then why can they only make medallions with 3 abilities? You know that for certain? And how many radios are in tinweight? Probably none, and it's much larger than Hearthstone is. No, it really isn't. It's known that it steals Connection, but f-drualumin can store multiple types of Connection I suspect there is a different bindpoint for each type, and the one for Nahel Bond is certainly unknown.

They don't need the other kingdoms other than for Oathgates. 1 Radiant is worth hundreds of Fused, and thousands of regular soldiers. How does a thunderclast deal with a windrunner? They can't fly, nor do they have special powers. They are cur by a shardblade the same way regular stone is, so I'd guess that surgebinding works on them too, which means that pretty much any order can kill them at their leisure. That was the end of OB, not RoW. And by this point the most powerful should have awakened. That would make him weaker and allow Cultivation to kill him. And he didn't change his mind about making new fused. And even if he did The Stormfather can make new honorspren the same way. Taln can defend himself, but he couldn't attack to save his life. And he was way better than the fused.

Endowment never knew the Natan people, but she did know Hoid back before the Shattering. I don't think there's any actual connection between the two.

I was unaware Adolin was so popular.

"What is that thing?" Isek asked, before shaking his head. That wasn't relevant right now. Isek concentrated, growing metal lattice under his feet, driving bolts into the rock nearby, forming a platform wide enough for him to stand on, and firm enough to hold his weight. "Let's boogie."

They know where it is, and stone can guide them. If Laral gave him one why would he look for others. And the basin all belongs to the Basin's government, there is no difference. "You're poor that automatically makes you a criminal" And the fact that Roshon was given the strictest demotion we have ever heard of is completely ignored. If they actually valued anything that Scadrial had to offer the fused would have popular support. My proposal doesn't require everyone on Roshar to know how to do it, just a small handful. 1. On Scadrial you have to go to the school, it doesn't come to you. 2. Willingness has nothing to do with it, you have a right to learn, the ardents are required to teach you. And teachers knowledge is just as much or a restriction on Scadrial. 3. It is provided by the government, who do you think is taking care of the ardents. Huh, so you did. My bad I missed that. They can satisfy their interests with what they already can acquire. Scadrial can't offer them technology or weapons, as those require Scadrial's power and aren't useful for them anyway. So the only thing they have going for them is sheer uniqueness, which they get all the time. Scadrial will not be unified by Era 3, Roshar very well might be by the end of SA 10 which will happen first. If it's just the rich in the warcamps who have them, who are the soldiers writing too? And before that the common people could not afford to have their picture taken. ... Brandon literally said that it contains spoilers for Taln and Jasnah during book 6 and 7. Meaning that Taln is alive at that time. Not sure what better evidence you want. Considering we know next to nothing about the bands of mourning, but we know that pressure can be manipulated by the surge of Adhesion, I think you have it the other way around. Considering that 100% of Scadrial improved in 300 years, because it's literally impossible to get worse without extinction, you would be right. But considering that in the past 8 years Roshar went from: officers can afford spanreeds, and heating fabrials are invented. To: common soldiers can afford to send messages, teleportation, powered flight, common heating fabrials, water attractors, alerter fabrials, half-shards, force redirection, pumps etc. And Scadrial was only able to go from from: pictures and trains. To: Radio, short range missiles, and video. With Autonomy's direct intervention, I think it's safe to say Roshar is progressing quicker. Being able to steal the Nahelbond, something almost No Scadrian even knows exists, and is part of Connection which even fewer of them understand, is just as unlikely.

Spren aren't hurt by their knight dying, and find bonding again therapeutic, so that's not an issue at all. The less crazy ones. The others just stare at walls.

Fused souls wear out after each rebirth. Spren don't, so killing then is making progress. Not to mention they have virtually no way to counter a radiant once they reach 4th ideal.

Kaladin's part isn't, but apparently Jasnah and Taln's plot have stayed similar enough he considers Prime spoilers for books 6 and 7. Any Heavenly one Windrunner, or Skybreaker that knew where it was could get it out. Is Laral the only one who has one? Or just the only one we see? The nobles title, and rank is tied to the population of their city, if enough people leave they could be removed from their position. And there are severl cities without lords. More likely than an urchin becoming govenor on Scadrial. Don't know were you live, or what rights your government claims to care about, but I garuntee you that they violate those regularly. In the US we have a right protecting us from unwarranted searches and seizure, but that doesn't stop the government from recording our activities. We also have protection against cruel or unusual punishment, but look up "Enhanced Interrogation techniques" sometime. Or MK Ultra for that matter. Scadrian governments will be no better. Great, where is your electricity coming from? Where is your food coming from, and how are you protecting your factory from ceaseless raids? There are just as many hemalurgic bindpoints, so if Scadrial know how to do Hemalurgy, he knows how to do this. You go to the ardents and they will teach you any trade you desire.

Getting closer and further from a lurcher causes differences in the strength of their pulls.

He said skate for that reason. No they really aren't. 1 Windrunner, who was barely conscious, and had lost most of his power routinely beat multiple fully powered opponents, including a guy who could teleport. Given what we see 4th oath Kaladin on his own has the power to stop Odium's entire force, it isn't even close. Pretty much any philosophy or worldview is compatible with the oaths. If fused are so much more dangerous than Radiants, why have radiants killed upwards of thirty of them while only losing 3 in the process?

Another point towards them being able to leech metals you aren't burning.

You never once mentioned a three spike rule. That can happen under any system, or do I need to list the numberous human rights violations of literally every country? So you buy anything that you see that looks interesting? Well, they can't bond other spren, so why would they be able to use this Investiture? Now if Ishar perfects his process of bringing them into the physical they might be able to. I find the fact that you called me pointing out that shards can mind control spiked people condescending in the same breath you made all of these statements rather amusing. When did you even mention three spikes? If you can't answer, why should I assume that there is one? You do realize that was in response to multiple Scadrian factions, with known hatred of each other, one of whom was literally willing to let five million of the other faction die if they didn't get what they wanted, uniting right? Regular soldiers, like not Kaladin, but regular rank and file can afford to send messages via spanreed. TEN years before this battle occurs, with fabrials actively becoming cheaper. Roshar doesn't have many native diseases. And even if they did the natural Investiture in people will largely protect them.

And I would train with soulcasting if I was a Lightweaver, because it's freaking useful.
