    Iron increases strength slightly, as the WoB I posted describes.
  2. Frustration
    The spren is arguably the most important part The spren determines what the fabrial affects, heat, air, water etc.
  3. Frustration
    Increase of strength there as well.
  4. Frustration
    That's the strength increase to deal with the weight, not an increase in mass Even without diminishing returns, he only has five times the amount of time to draw upon if he taps for six days, he doesn't have the stores needed to run at seven times speed for that time. Additionally it says he occasionally tapped steel so that's not the entire reason he was able to do that, and other things like storing weight, or tapping strength would enable him to move much faster, and for longer amounts of time, without drawing on his stores of speed. So that doesn't disprove anything.
  5. Frustration
    It halves the time for every amount you draw out equal to what you put in, or 1/2 to the power of the compression factor. Only for Marasi going at sonic speeds, everything else is well within the parameters.
  6. Frustration
    I n t r e s t i n g. So demons live in rather bad conditions, poor water conditions, and a seemingly low oxygen enviroment, does that make them stronger outside of Sunkane where they can get clean water and higher oxygen levels?
  7. Frustration
    Is he an object? No, so he is not a weapon. That's not how that works. 200% is the first compression, 300% is the second, 400% is the third, at three compressions you are only moving at 4x speed, not 8. And that's assuming you can even store 100% which you can't. Feruchemical traits don't apply to themselves, if you can run at 10 mph and store 80% and then tap it you can run at 18 mph, tapping an 80% again would only allow you to run at 26 mph, not 32 mph. As seen in the WoB you have to lose over half of the time you have in order to add the percent you have stored to what you have already drawn out. Therefore you need 8 times compression(and then some) in order to go at 8 times the speed. So assuming you store 80% of you speed, which is probably the most you can store, you can go at 180% speed without diminishing returns, which you will start to get from here on out, drawing at double the rate you get 260% speed, at three times you get 340% speed, at four times 420% speed(haha it's the funny number). So on and so forth, however at each time you can hold it for less than half of the time needed assuming you had an hour of 80% speed you would only be able to hold 4.2x speed for under 4 minutes. At ten times speed(drawing at 11.25 times the amount you put in you would need 100 hours of storage in order to hold that for two and a half minutes. Renarin did not, but they outright said they weren't trying to hurt Renarin, they just wanted him distracted.

    Then why does the amount needed vary so wildly? *Ahem* Helaran attacked Kaladin when he came close, but never once went out of his way to fight him. Not the kind we are talking about. And Fullborn is not a weapon. You could poetically describe them as such, but that doesn't make them one. That is not a compression of 3 times, it's 8 times, and probably a bit more than that given that you can't store 100 percent of your speed.
  9. Frustration
    The tip of a rotating object moves faster than the base. Baseball batters have between 100-150 milliseconds to swing in order to hit but they can still reliably do it, and they don't even have magically boosted speed, and reflexes.
  10. Frustration
    Only the ones Kaladin made his armor out of, and in Syl's interlude she talks about making Windspren "smart" That would be Sja-anat as the inteligent one, the others are just puppets to her.
  11. Frustration
    But the investiture isn't destroyed, which us the main point, why would the feruchemical stores be destroyed? The new investiture comes from preservation, but the investiture originally in the metal come from the feruchemist I probably could, especially with magical enhancements. He really didn't, he made a couple of swings at him, but Helaran never really tried to kill him, at least not anymore than TRL did against Vin And a guy with a weapon is always at an advantage against a martial artist. Not almost always, always. Miles is a savant, he cannot be used as a baseline. Dalinar is, in fact when he swears the second ideal on top of Urithiru and draws in stormlight he outright says that he has held stormlight before.
  12. Frustration
    But Raboniel does, and we know that the suppression fabrial was made this way because the gems were empty and the spren was visible in the CR. They can understand that they are being spoken to and can make continuous decisions.
  13. Frustration
    An Awakener is basically a hillbilly on hallucinogens.
  14. Frustration
    Mistborn is equal to roughly 8 hillbillies, based on Kelsier, or upwards of 200 hillbillies based on Vin.
  15. Frustration
    5th ideal Radiant, all the hillbillies.
  16. Frustration
    The hand is quicker than the body, and as Sazed shows tapping large amounts of pewter becomes encumbering quickly. So they would need far more than 2x speed to do that. This argument never makes sense, it implies that Helaran actually fought Kaladin, rather than batting him away. By that logic I can say Vin beat TRL, and a 3rd oath Windrunners beats a Mistborn.

    I've been thinking about this for a while. @Cash67 @Channelknight Fadran Cash: What are your guy's thoughts on the Warlock's pact of the blade feature? Fadran: It's cool, cause you can summon a magic sword. Frustration: Warlock's get Eldritch blast, so until you get a weapon that does at least as much damage it's a complete waste, and then once you get to high enough levels that Eldritch blast can hit multiple times it becomes completely worthless, pick Pact of the Chain instead, it's actually useful.
  18. Frustration
    Barely, the only difference is how the investiture manifests. Baseball players routinely react to objects moving at 90-100 mph, without training humans can't maintain 10 mph. The fastest recorded running speed by a human is around 27 mph, and that's only for short distances, not something that could be maintained for more than a few seconds Five times is nowhere near enough, even ten wouldn't be enough we're talking 20-30 times base speeds before they start becoming dangerous. Achievable, sure, but that's not going to be easy to maintain.
  19. Frustration
    He is still limited by his power, but so is Kaladin, but he still has free will.
  20. Frustration
    Rayse is very much in control, we see in RoW that he is forcing the Shard to do things that it doesn't want to do, that was part of why he was so vulnerable.
  21. Frustration
    Why not?
  22. Frustration
    That is a good point. It also has the side benefit of making them more suceptable to pain, however only when they are burning tin. The main benefit of that is that they always feel the pain they are subjected to, but we already have that with the current setup, and they might be able to become Hoed and avoid the pain, though I don't know how that would interact with the blessing of Presence On a side note I'm not sure whether to be thrilled that I'm not the only person intrested in this, or horrified that I'm not the only person intrested in this.
  23. Frustration
    Moash doesn't deserve to even be in the top 10. The worst thing he did was kill Jezrien, and that one other radiant and just about every other villain has killed orders of magnitudes more innocents. Gavilar wasn't evil, just painfully stupid, and even then only because Brandon decided to assassinate his character. Odium, sorry but this isn't even close no one else is responsible for the death of billions of people Rashek, genocide, various other crimes, litterally Cosmere Hitler. Raboniel, multiple counts of attempted genocide Sadees Sadeas, yes they are two different people Taravangian. I will not debate this one, Taravangian is scum, who kills people because he doesn't want to go through the effort to do anything else and refuses to accept that anyone other than him can do anything to satisfy his ego. Dilaf, the man litterally leads a suicide cult, and has people killed to save himself fifteen minutes of walking, and takes pleasure in torturing people. Wyrn. Straff, enough said. Bluefingers, probably.
  24. Frustration
    Gedok was knocked out by Lezian before the device was turned on. The spren is the metal, not the gems, and is this a surge fabrial. It's intelligent so it has to be a higher spren, it can't be a lesser spren.
  25. Frustration
    Yep Well unfortunately that's not true, any power in the metal is released to the user, not destroyed. Even with steel the Fullborn can only move at near sonic speeds for a few seconds, which is not enough for them to win, and Shardplate does protect from leeching.
