Frustration

It could be culturally considered a curse, and the recipients outcasts, but still be a cool power, i.e. reod Elantrians. If that's what you want.

most of them just for further understanding, what happens if they get stabbed? That's actually the best personality based magic I believe I have ever seen. This one I still have questions about, while not as broken as I once thought it still leaves the question as to why one nation doesn't rule the world. And what stops the tree from being destroyed? But other than those two good job.

Sorry @Channelknight Fadran I know this is your teaching area but I just had this thought. So DramaQueen what you could try doing is finding out what would make you want that power, design it in such a way that makes it desirable. Eating metal isn't something most people want to do, but Brandon adds something desirable,(flight) to it as well. So add something to it, or find a way to make people want that power.

@The_Truthwatcher

Personally it's one of if not the best fantasy ever. Tolkien was going more for a history approach, and so we get things like a lineage of Kings and calenders for the cultures, while Brandon had a more religious focus and everything that comes with that. Different focuses, but both vibrate. I'll give you that Tolkien's characters aren't as relatable, (but they're awesome despite it.) Brandon is improving fantasy in many ways, like I said older brother.

But he's Saveboi now, because he's not a slave.

While influential, I don't think it's possible for a fantasy author to eclipse Tolkien. I still stands by the argument that his world is the most complex and largest. Tolkien is the father of Fantasy, Brandon is more the big brother/uncle.

He still wants to do it.

ahg it broke! there was a really good one there. well I'll fix it tomorrow.

I'm getting very serious 'Hello Future Me' vibes from this. And on your plagiarism/inspiration section, well funny story Years ago, Years before I had ever heard the name Brandon Sanderson I had an idea for something in my world, fast forward and just about a year ago, I find out Brandon has something that serves the same purpose with the exact same name. I was so scared I wouldn't be able to use it, until I can across him saying that he thinks Authors worry too much about plagiarism, so hopefully I get a chance to speak to him about it, but I was rather upset there.

Well @Terra a couple of things, this tree is going to become valuable resource no.1, Kings will give seeds to their warriors if their purpose is to serve the crown, and so on. How do you stop one nation from bulldozering everyone in their path to becoming the only nation in the world? or conversely from destruction. What happens to an inheritor if they change in personality? Do their powers change as well, how well does an inheritor have to fit the personality trait to get a specific power? How much metal is needed to sever one's connection to plants, and how exactly does that work? other than that, it's a cool idea.

What Cosmere book breaks it?

*Choughs*

Why do I find fat lift to be so humorous? It should be a meme.

@Toaster Retribution Oathbringer spoilers!! Oh, I don't have a Kaladin cult yet. Good idea!

You can't move your upper jaw. Also
