Frustration

So, as many of you know I have been preparing for Roshar vs. Scadrial post LM. And as part of that I have been rereading the SA, and paying very close attention. And I believe I have found something that changes our understanding of surge fabrials entirely. It all started when I read WoK page 91 where Shallan says that 9/10 soulcasters are only attuned to one or two essence, with only 1/10 being able to do any transformation This immediately got me thinking because you know 10. And I realized that is also the ratio of transformation to surges(big shock I know). And given that we know surge fabrials are made from spren that means that only a single spren type can make soulcasters that produce any essence. Which is why that number comes out, as the real 8/9 fraction(as bondsmith spren didn't form soulcaster) is close enough to 9/10 they calculate it as the same. And as I looked through RoW I had confirmation that the spren type that makes up soulcasters is never confirmed, because it's all of them. And since Lin Davar's soulcaster stopped working when it's gems were misaligned that means that the shape of the metal, not the spren used determines what surge the fabrial uses, and gemstones are only used as a power source associated with a particular type of spren. Each spren having a particular surge that they can use any gem for, and on any other they can potentially use the ones next to them. I'm unsure how the spren and surges would relate, with Bondsmith missing, would Honorspren fabrials be able to use any application of Gravitation, or Adhesion? I don't know. Going from this conclusion and reading through the text I realized that this holds up. Viztim's alerter that tracks the shin is made from Heliodor, which is assosiated with flesh. The gemstones used to open doors in Urithiru are Topaz, associated with stone. The sheild fabrial uses sapphire associated with air. And The suppresion fabrial uses garnets which are associated with blood, which is where stormlight and voidlight are held in their users. But I wasn't done, if this worked out for Soulcasting, I should be able to make this work for other surges as well: Enter regrowth fabrials. When we see regrowth fabrials being used, we only have one detailed description, with Dalinar's arm being healed. That particular fabrial had a Heliodor and a Topaz(WoK 303), and healed the flesh on Dalinar's arm. The body focus's associated with those gems are flesh and bone, the most likely injuries to occur, and the only ones the knight healed. When Nale cured Szeth I bet that fabrial had a diamond and a ruby(eyes and soul). I also noticed that almost all of the body focus's had an interesting reaction to shardblades. But why stop there? There are other surges, so I went through them and the ones I can completely define are Gravitation, which beyond any doubt of my mind is connected to the ten gas giants, and Illumination, which a WoB I found linked with specific colors. Other than that I'm afraid I don't think we understand enough to know, but we can try to fill in some of the gaps, but here's my proposed chart There is only one thing I can find that causes this theory problems, the soulcaster Dalinar uses at the Rift can make oil and grain, but blood isn't mentioned(OB 742). This could be chalked up to Sadeas not mentioning blood because its not useful, but Navani says that no Alethi soulcaster can make blood(OB 1020). I suppose this could be an error, or there are additional rules I don't understand. Do you have any other clues on how to fill out the chart?

The stormlight restores the body to an ideal state, part of why you can't lift a ton of weights and then heal the damage to get ripped. So I'd imagine that it would simply change CO2 back into oxygen, and reuse it. Alternatively it could see CO2 as a poison and is getting rid of it.

Brandon has said that Breaths will be the unit of Investiture.

Hoid - Wit - Midius - Cephandrius - Topaz - Dust - Drifter

That was the line that the trell is autonomy was based on.

That would make some sense, but it doesn't mention a mechanical filter, and cloth is too porous to keep gas out. While that's a smart practice that won't make cloth masks more effective.

I like your funny science joke magic man.

Secret project 1 is a good opportunity. So are 3 and 4 to a lesser extent.

It would likely have some effect, but I don't think you could get a reaction under combat situations. Also I have to say: Cloth masks, for chlorine gas. Steris you're supposed to be smart. That wouldn't do anything, unless you have them soaked in a neutralizing agent, but that's not mentioned.

So, the planet isn't necessary invested itself. And besides that something happening to Harmony would have minimal impact on anything that wasn't the shard itself, even if they ran on his Investiture.

Lego video games.

White sand doesn't repel other Investiture, and Atium doesn't destroy other Investiture. Tanavstium doesn't bind other Investiture. Really the most this tells us is that Trell is polarized against Harmony.

One: Cor. Also apparently I still have this saved, so Coni here's your reminder, two years later. I'm good at time management.

Seems we have nuclear weapons, or close to it. I wonder if Wax and co. are going to get radiation poisoning.

Where did you get that?

Ruin is not self destructive.

If he survived for so long without the Nahel bond that would have been so much worse. It would have completely obliterated the already low stakes. And he would actually have ended up luckier than if he had only been able to survive by using reverse lashings.

No, there are just some people talking about it. He's said that Mistborn will have become legend at that point, so that's the soonest that they can come back.

So on a Cosmere sense Rysn is only important in that she's around important things like Larkin and Dawnshards. In the book she just owns the right ship. Dawnshards are massive magic amplifiers that put surgebinding on levels capable of destroying planets. And we're the weapons used to kill Adonalsium.

I'm thinking the experiment has failed to make Lerasium because Brandon has said that era 3 is the next time we see mistborn. And I know there are a lot of people who want it but if there's another "who's the Kandra" plotline I'm going to scream. We already had one this era.

And the difference between anti-voidlight and regular Voidlight being minimal in this circumstance.

Brandon never outright said it was Voidlight. And while some WoB have been wrong(Oathbringer Honorblade anyone?) They are far more reliable than you seem to be suggesting.

That would make Trellium Atium, which it isn't.

What is this "sleep" you speak of?
