  1. I ran a simulation of the Harmonium blast for the Roshar vs. Scadrial thread, and the blast came out with a yeild close to large modern nuclear weapons.
  2. That's not that different from the questions we were left with at the end of HoA.
  3. A lot of things. The vessel can have their own thoughts and desires. However the Shard's intent must be satisfied in order for them to use their power. New Sazed was kind of busy fixing the planet, and Marsh wanted to die once his Atium ran out.
  4. Sazed cannot take direct action, his opposing interests make it almost impossible. And even if he did, taking action like that is much easier for newer vessels, and can leave him open to attacks from opposing shards.
  5. Strife does lead to progrees though. We can see that even on the shard here. The forums where the powers of the cosmere are pushed to their limits, and every possible way to use them is thought about is in the ____ vs ____ topics, not the theory boards.
  6. Those aren't their squires though. Those are all of the squires the Skybreakers have.
  7. The most powerful line to me was probably "For to worship Harmony was not only to worship Preservation--it was also to worship Ruin, with all that implied." -TLM 404. I also loved seeing Sho-del for the first time.
  8. It's State of the Sanderson
  9. Well, we actually end it when State of the Sanderson is released.
  10. I've just always assumed that he heard his blade screaming.
  11. Um, Kaladin can't do freaky Bondsmith things that are according to Brandon "more dangerous than Nightblood"
  12. No narrative focus is put on this in TLM, so I wouldn't say that makes it worse as the end of an era. That one's fair You mean other than the Malwish trying to get the bands? Either way no narrative focus was put on that, so I fail to see how that makes TLM weaker. That one is close enough I'll count that as fair. He's becoming Discord. So that's two questions, neither of which are very big ones.
  13. And that will change the outcome? Proceedure on its own is enough. Raboniel didn't know what Navani's plate would do, but it ejected Voidlight all the same. Raboniel thought mixing stormlight and voidlight would cause them to destroy each other. That didn't happen. Intent is powerful, but not enough that a mere question about whether or not something will happen will change the outcome.
  14. OB 222. It's possible that it is a Lightweaver power, but there should be other ways to replicate it.
  15. And Wax. And why bother lying if the first person to do it(Marsh) will find the Lerasium anyway?
  16. Just Atium for the moment.
  17. There are ways to suppress the glow from Stormlight. But regardless Radiance isn't the only way to fly.
  18. I'm saying why would he willingly choose to kill his grandfather?
  19. They'll send a confirmation email before they ship, so you can change it then if I remember correctly.
  20. If I went back in time and have the Romans a car they would be awes by it's power and would use it to dominate the world. However they would be unable to make it work themselves. The same applies here, if Sazed gave Elendel a spaceship they could traverse the stars, but it would take them decades, maybe centuries to make a second one.
  21. I find it more likely that he would use steel against something inside the ship, such as holding one of the pistons in the engine shut. That wouldn't crush him between those forces. Yes we do, use the SR to bypass space, as the SR is all places in one. Hence there is no distance between places, as can be seen by Oathgates being FTL. So where you are going doesn't matter. Aon Tia can get you anywhere, Oathgates can get you anywhere, Bondsmith/Elsecaller portals can get you anywhere. Place only matters to Connection so far as "You are Connected to this place" It's not like being in Alethkar will make it harder to form friendships than if you were in Teod. Knowledge maybe, but Aon Tia doesn't require supernatural levels, neither did the Aether of Night or Illuminise. What gives you that idea? No, but she can always sleep there, and wear her plate anywhere else. While in Urithiru The Sibling can see anything the ghostbloods try to do, it would be impossible to reliably sabotage supplies from there, and since it is the central hub of Oathgates that is the most logical location to organize supplies from. Additionally with the amount of Soulcasters there they might not even need to go anywhere else to collect anything. So Sabotage is nearly impossible, if not outright. How much effort has she really put into it? She's been dealing with the end of the world for the past year. Even if it isn't, the voidlight one they mixed it with probably was, and since it had been months since they captured their most recent ones it was probably only about half full. A guess while he was blinded by Autonomy. Nuclear level, sure. I'd even be willing to go slightly above. I just ran a simulation(Assuming that those barrels were completely full, which they couldn't be due to still needing the arms to pull them apart and room to the trellium. And the weight would be too much for Wayne to lift. And that Harmonium was twice as powerful as Cesium, which I don't think it's that level. So the actual yield would be maybe a third of that.) And got a yield of 4 MT. Even if the Trellium made it ten times more powerful it won't be enough to match the Tsar bomba(the one that the USSR tested) which was 50 MT. Much less the most powerful one ever made at 100 MT. Taking the more accurate yield of 1.3 MT the trellium blast would be closer to 13 MT, which is large modern nuclear weapons. Of course you and @therunner can double check my numbers, but Harmonium/Trellium would simply be more powerful nukes. So hold up. We know that Bodsmiths/Elsecallers can make interplanetary portals, and you say that we know too little and shouldn't account for them. But Harmony says he doesn't know what Wax did to make lerasium, and then hints that the Kandra can't replicate it, and you say that not only is he lying but that Scadrians will really quickly figure out how to get Lerasium from it. Why invest so much talent and resources on Roshar, which is noted as being inaccessible to them without extreme danger? Send squires with boosted Connection allowing them to retain powers at greater distances.
  22. Because all action is basically impossible for him at this point. And He's said in the text he had no idea how to split harmonium until Wax did it, despethe fact that the Set has been doing it for years.
  23. Harmony didn't know how to make it until Wax did.
  24. That's not how leaching works. And for stealing memories I'm going to say that wouldn't work.
