Frustration

we have yet to see any evidence for Leaching doing that, a leaching cube drains all investiture. Yes they are, Fabrials need stormlight to function. Kelsier was almost beaten by eight, not teams. We have yet to see any kind of "flavor" for connection, so that doesn't change anything. But allomancy which is of Preservation could break in, so why not other powers? There is no reason for them to only interact that way with one system. As for Shards, none of them have done that, and If Ruin could Control Spook he would have.

But Scadrial, in draining Roshar's power, also drains their own. Aluminum isn't dependent on a continuous supply of investiture to work. The number of Hazekillers, needed to kill a Radiant, is higher than the number of Hazekillers needed to kill a Mistborn. It's still just connection Considering even Shards can't control ayone with cracks in their soul I doubt it's possible. as for the others, I have no idea.

Leaching is more like a Larkin, than suppresion, it drains your power, it doesn't stop you from using it. If they use magic they aren't Hazekillers. I don't disagree I just think that Roshar's number is higher. Here

Thunderclasts are way larger than that, they were described as Chasmfiends and in RoW we learn that they would stand around halfway up Uririthiru's fourth tier. As each tier is 18 stories, they would be massive. As I have pointed out above, Metalborn works on spiritual genetics, so while you can increase the quantity of Metalborn, you can't choose the metals. And there are a lot of useless powers. On the contrary, in RoW Kaladin days that they have more Windrunners ready for the Third Ideal, than they have spren to get them there, they could be replaced in hours. @Ixthos, yes, Suppression blocks all of a certain type of Investiture, but Leaching drains all investiture, not blocking. The problem with saying that Halfshards are evidence of progression of anti-shardbearer tactics, is that it requires magic to use them, and it took two thousand years to develop. If you could reword your comments on the pillar room, I don't quite understand. Duralumin compounders could break into a Kandra, and since that is connection, the same thing Bondsmiths are manipulating I extrapolated. No I don't think Bondsmiths could control anyone, just as Soothers couldn't, but Kandra are not anyone.

I don't want to stop this theory before it takes off, but I have two problems Why the link with SFS? You have the naming convention, but that already has an explanation Why would Kelsier not wither as everyone else touched by a shade has? Why would he be different?

Until a few years ago English was the same, not as a rule but out of practice, so it's not as much of a mistake as you would think.

Um, that is actually opposite of what we know.

This is Brightness Alenelin, scribe of Queen Jasnah. The Queen is willing to hear your statements. The Pen wrote back.

It really isn't, it is haevely implied, but that was before the four new ones in RoW, invention could be seen as Wisdom and so forth.

The fact that one tone blocks all of a shards invested arts, you argue that each pulse would have it's own tone, but that's like saying you would have to use anti-rhythms, tones are greater. The Hazekillers had no specifically designed tech, just fight patterns, and Roshar has had two-thoushand years to develop anti shardbearer tactics, but those are no one man, or even eight man opperable. You are confusing copper, with brass, copper is memories, not heat. Copper and Nicrocil store descrete things, once stored you no longer have them, instead of temporarily not having them. Aluminum touching plate would not make it cease functioning. Try that argument again when we can make FTL communication.

"Er, I suppose Brightlord."

"The Queen sent a message telling us to hold him until she returns to Kholinar, Brightlord."

@AmazingGoob

Jasnah is a thing

I don't think so, no balancing attempt was made by Brandon, so some systems are just outright better than others. I feel rather bad for Sand Mastery

It would be far easier to switch suppression of the fused to suppresion of Metalic arts, than leaching to suppresion. Eight trained men, could almost defete Kelsier, and since he beat an Inquisitor we can safely say he is in the upper esilons of Mistborn, However hundreds of men can be cut down by a shardbearer with ease. Amaram was a third Dahn General and a SoH, it's safe to say that his guard would be the best, and trained to deal with Shardbearers, but Helaran cut through them without blinking. If anyone but a Kandra uses them it will divide the continents, and if a Kandra uses them, they are begging for a BOndsmith to take control of them, and turn them against Scandrial. f-NIcrocil and f-copper are different than any other Feruchemical powers, Why can't Tin be similar? It is entirly possible that they might, But given that breathing is a disadvantage to Radiants that is a moot point. Your speculation is not fact, all evidence indicates that an all blocking Tone exists, Roshar will never be more advanced in earth technology, they will use Fabrials instead, that doesn't prove anything. That isn't how aluminum works, touching plate won't do anything.

Because I thought it more reasonable, if I wanted to be really evil to Scandrial, Soulcast a city into AntiOsmium.

I enjoyed Shallan dying.

Every Herald with the possible exception of Ash was around at that time, and it's not like we have a way to instantly go back to that power level or anything *cough* Rysn *Cough* Yeah there is, Larkin Again, we have four people with access to unlimited connection manipulation, should be easy. Beneath all plates are more plates, it says so many times, there is no clear opening. Have you been purposefully ignoring me? Aluminum armor, would prevent them from absorbing investiture. Increased physical capabilities even with a-Pewter won't be nearly as great of a strength advantage as plate. but you can have a lot of stormlight on you at once, Or Warlight if you can. How many spren are on Scandrial? One, How much Stormlight? Zero They would have zero idea how to reverse engineer them, that's like saying someone with a degree in biology would be able to reverse engineer a quantum physics equation because they are both sciences, it makes no sense. If the Ghostbloods get involved so will Hoid, his dislike of Kelsier is far too great. Roshar is behind n comparison to our technology, they will use Fabrials instead per WoB, so they are nowere close to the middle ages, they already have elevators and powered flight. In WoR it talks about how there where more Windrunners ready for the Third Ideal than spren to acsept them, I don't think that will be a problem. Medalians can't be recovered if the wearer is killed, and we don't know how many a single metalborn can make. Telegraphs are thousands of times slower than Spanreeds. Era 2 is actually between SA 5-6 it's Era 3 you are thinking of. I will now give a second way for Roshar to delete Scandrial, because no one has answered the first. Give an Elsecaller the Change Dawnshard, Have them and a Bondsmith go to the CR of Scnadrial, Soulcast every city into fire. problem solved.

1. Scandrial is progressing incredibly slowly, so it will take them a longer time than you think to get there. 2. Radiants are something Metalborn aren't, replaceable. 3. Scandrial's communication is hundreds of times slower than Roshar's so Roshar will be far faster at mobilizing.

Stormspren, but other than that, I don't think so.

The God Beyond.

Wearing aluminum would prevent storing of exterior investiture. And Wax has no way to determin if more force is added, as measuing the speed at which it launched is incredible difficult to do with that tech level, however, pushing heavier objects would make it seem like more force. you still haven't answered my win scenario.

You can't prove either way. But her weight didn't change. If only we had some people who can mess with connection, and have bee said multiple times to be doing what once was impossible... and b, do you have any idea how expensive aluminum is for Scandrial at this time? the stuff is worth more than gold, putting that amount of equipment together just for a scouting mission? not likely. Also the sheer number of Radiants is far too much for one person to hanndle. EDIT: I'm really getting tired of this so I'm going end it This requires three people and Scandrial dies, Odium would win against Harmony So Odium comes, kills Sazed, a Bondsmith forms a bond between another person and Ruin, that person acsends, Ruin's Scandrial and then lays down the shard, and Odium splinters it. Game Over.

@Parzival please don't double post
