We make the number even more mind numbingly large for the fun of it.

Nope This place is a seat of government There have been multiple attacks on the Monarch here This place is a building

Nope

*Beats up Cacophony, because theft is wrong* Oh, look the Win has my name on it, guess it's mine.

Kaladin sees multiple at once in WoK, Venli mentions them in OB as something that you see often enough. Aside from Shallan mentioning it, when referring to the CR, do you have a single piece of evidence to back that claim? Syl says the Winds are of Honor several times. They look like tiny glowing blue people, so do Windspren, in fact looking like anything other than Windspren is the exception, not the norm.

I don't believe that there is any lerasium being made, Wax's experiment being different and all.

Starspren aren't that rare, we see them several times. They might be rare in the Cognitive realm, but so are Windspren. Windspren and Honorspren look identicle in the Physical realm. Lifespren and Vines go together on Roshar Creationspren and Cryptics both change shape constantly Logicspren are described as stormclouds, but that looks the same as ink blobs. Flamespren and Ashspren glow orange and spark. We haven't seen the others in the PR, but they do all seem to have similar charactaristics.

Investiture fueled Mistborn Vs. Radiant
Frustration replied to Frustration's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Regardless I could not do that. Speaking of my inability to do things, I am shamelessly stealing this video to aid my argument, because I could not make it on my own. So, as you can see when the bullet hits this wall the collision does not end when the front of the bullet hits, but continues until the back has as well. However, if that wall was frictionless, as well as curved, without any loss of strength, the front of the bullet would hit, and since it couldn't stop there, it would deflect away, and the energy from the back of the bullet would not be absorbed, leading to an overall decrease in the amount of force exerted on the plate. -
Translation: Mind numbingly large number.

An important note to consider Skybreaker: Starspren, based on similarity to highspren Dustbringer: Flamespren, cause Ashspren, and well, fire. Edgedanncer: Lifespren, which is obvious Truthwatcher: Concentrationspren? Willshaper: No clue Stoneward: Painspren, because warform uses painspren Bondsmith: Gloryspren

Your paint skills are quite impressive you must be very proud Yes there would be a force of impact, no one is denying that, but as we see when Lift slicks herself and she jumps off of something and goes flying away after landing, that impact is only a tiny portion of the total energy, the rest of which is retained by the object, in this case the coin, which remains in motion. -
Nope. There were several attempts on the monarch's life here.

If it didn't give him the strength how did he move it? Lets look at it this way: We have two situations, one in which I drop down a ten foot shaft, and the other where I go down ten feet in a slide. Droping down the shaft will hurt, but going down the slide will not, despite the same amount of force being present. The reason is because the force was spread out over different amounts of time. Similarly, with complete abrasion on the plate, the coin will slide off of the radiant, only forcing their plate to absorb a small amount of the total energy, whereas without the abrasion the plate has to absorb much more. -

I don't think regular metal useage would be enough, as it severely cuts down on pretty much all of your options. It might heal quicker, but shattered limbs or ribs wouldn't be fixed in enough time to be useful. Nor would you be able to heal shardblade wounds. I don't think Dawnshards should be included, as whoever gets one wins, pretty much regardless of what the other person has. -

How on earth does that look like Adhesion? How does Adhesion give you increased strength? Tension at least makes sense. The point stands, coating shardplate in a zero friction surface will allow it to deflect most forms of direct damage. Shardplate+stormlight would be about equal. Perhaps not as fast, but pretty close. Well so is everyone, the question here is: Can they afford to be? It would certainly increase the speed you healed at, but why would it let you heal things you normally couldn't? How would they get to Well of Ascention levels? I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Elend couldn't replicate Atium's effects because he didn't have the native ability to use it, and had to acquire it from an outside source. It's the same reason why Marasi can only use Dor to supercharge her Cadmium, rather than steelpushing or what not. F-iron Pushing on airborn metals would only push them down, not keep the mistborn in the air. And let's try to keep this with native ability(at least for the first few pages), otherwise a whole host of problems get introduced. Burning aluminum would completely wipe out their investiture reserves. Personally I'm okay with savantism being allowed, but only is Squires are as well. -
hehe. So, you know how earlier I pointed out that feruchemically and hemalurgically charged metals would have differetn effects. Well, you can do both to the same piece of metal. Which adds another way to manipulate them. Help, I can't stop making an already infinate number bigger

And? The stone didn't move on its own, he had to push it into place, just like how he had to put statues back together, piece by piece. He hit it with his fist first, and caused the whole thing to tremble, and given that Stonewards were the foot soldiers of the radiants, Dalinar lifting around 2,000 pounds, and all that, it seems pretty conclusive. The other radiants were still unconscious, and the Fused powers still worked. Stormlight does make you faster, as shown by Kaladin at the battle of the Tower, it also increases your reaction speed, both are described by Kaladin on page 870 of WoK, chapter 62. Have you ever slipped on ice? The reason is that force, in thus case you weight, is reflected away from where you set your foot down. This is the same principle. I know that feeling. -
That sounds horrifying. It might still work, as they still have a heart at that point, and the strength is spiritual, but probably not. Pumping it with several gallons of ketemine it is then.

The Sword of Harmony vs the Son of honor
Frustration replied to bmcclure7's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Harmonium isn't that explosive, only a little more than dynamite. You probably couldn't make more than 1/3 of the bullet harmonium without compromising its integrity. -
Alright, my turn then. 1. This is a seat of government

How do Feruchemical and Hemalurgy nicrosil differ?
Frustration replied to Mistchemist16's topic in Mistborn
That's because such a planet doesn't exist. In order to be alive you need investiture. -

'An effect' What effect exactly? No clue, but even if it did have that effect at 4th oath Kaladin and his spren seemed unaffected. I don't know about that, Dalinar was able to keep up with and even outpace his runners during the second attack on the Rift, and living plate is stronger. No, but it does make deflection easier. Plate is rounded, designed to cause arrows to slide out to the sides, rather than stop once they hit, with abrasion, only a fraction of the force would be imparted, and the coin would continue past them. 1. Why would it not? 2. Taln was able to pound on the doors of Kholinar with much more force than he should have had. -
Hard disagree. Vin's sacrifice did mean something, the world didn't end, Ruin didn't win, etc. And while Vin might care about her friends, Elend is more important to her, that's why she went to the beyond after him rather than staying with Kelsier. That feels like it only makes sense as a refutation of the original draft, Vin never once has a struggle about whether she would want to live if Elend died.

They don't know how to make spikes from multiple people, so one person's strength is all they can have. As a chrysalis they can't hurt you, and they've basically given themselves anesthesia, so you can get straight to the surgery.
