  1. Intresting, Elves that cause deforsetation, I don't know that I've ever seen that before. Do you mean Thaumaturgy? Or are you trying to evoke the same feel with a different spelling?
  2. Ah. See guys are dense sometimes, full recommnednation: just tell him exactly how you feel, and all the problems it's causing. It'll hurt in the short term, but overall it's best for everyone.
  3. Ah, that is correct.
  4. As I said, he's mentioned by Hoid, Dalinar, Wayne, Shai, Silence, and probably a few others. That is not true, allow me to repeat one of your more annoying arguments: Go read rhythm of war. No it isn't, investiture is just another form of energy. Creation: making something. Gravity, is the force that makes planets. Just like rivers make canyons. SEEMS to speak to him. That's just how his mind interprets it's attraction. Odium no more wants him than negative charges want an electron Shards can't interact with the afterlife. What vampire material do you read? Aside from some Asian ones all the ones I know are decidedly just Human+, no more inhuman than Captain America.
  5. Those are some... odd delusions you have there.
  6. He's mentioned by Dalinar, Hoid, Silence, Shai, Wayne and Brandon That's like saying that because God caused rain to fall on earth that humans can use rain to reach Heaven. Your point is just you moving the goalpost Shards don't "want" anything either, it is just interpreted that way by the characters, RoW Hey, guess what, this is a fantasy series where the living dead are a thing. Where? Give me one time, where a Shard made a decision on it's own. When has a shard gone "Oh, that would be bad for me" and then not done something? Well gravity, electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear forces, with an interaction with the higgs field, and a soul. So yes, not much more than that. That they were beleived to be gods, and are acknowleged to have existed, but that does not remoe the possibility of atheism.
  7. Navani sets up a fabrial to draw water away so they can use bows, and thinks to herself "They'd finally gotten it to stop sucking the blood out of anyone who came near it" Here Szeth uses one to pull arrows to his lashing, which isn't possible on 1g. He can?
  8. Persians, Chinese, Japanese, Mayan, Incan, certain Egyptian and Indian dynasties, have all believed their rulers to be actual gods.
  9. What did it do? If he Connected to the SR then he didn't reach the Beyond. If he did reach the Beyond, then the light that gave him the Connection was the God Beyond, and thus was only possible via divine intervention, and is thus something Connection could not do on it's own. ... Planets form, because gravity pulls things in and forms them into a sphere. That is not in dispute, that is a fact. So yes, Gravity creates planets. No, you just take metaphor and symbolism for fact. Gravity wants to pull things down. Shards are just suppernatural gravity. No they don't That makes no sense whatsoever.
  10. Don't read too much into the coppermind, it's written by fans, and should not be counted on as a relibale source.
  11. .... How does that make any sense?
  12. Goku vs. Superman vs. Thanos vs. Shaggy
  13. No it is not, Investiture can influence Connection, but they are not the same thing. And if external aid was needed then Connection on its own cannot do it, and thus Investiture cannot. ... It quite literally does. Given the looseness of the definition of a shard's "will" and "mind", I can very much say that gravity wants to pull anythign with mass together. Or say there's a superheor that can control gravity? then they have a mind, but they are nothing more than a man. One given too much power. Just like shards.
  14. Wax would be too weak to have a noticeable compression factor That's the lifeboat Wax rides up to the temple They have, WoR page 993 F-steel is muscle speed, not physical speed, so that wouldn't do anything. Reverse lashings are much stronger than gravity. In order to pull on arrows, or heck snapping Lezian's head off requires orders of magnitude more power. And they can make a reverse lashing with their feet, so they don't need to reach.
  15. Cadmium has a compression factor of ~8, and is roughly 15 feet across. Windrunners have gone at speeds close to 370 mph. They'd be out before Wax could reload. If they could make them smaller why didn't Whig have one? If there is a pin that inserts into the aluminum, then the reverse lashing will rotate the entire bullet, which will both throw off the trajectory, and make pulling the back out harder. It's more the standardly accepted abbreviations. A-gold is widely accepted, A-G is not.
  16. What! No! What on earth would give you that idea. There are no secret empires, none at all, nope. Nope nope nope.
  17. So attached to the horse body, and thus not the thorax, while also having feathers, meaning they aren't insect wings. You can't hide eusociality.
  18. Primer cubes only have so much charge. And with how fast Windrunners can move they'll still get out. You mean like with the machine the big airships use? It would be mechanical separation. If you're pushing on it the bullet would spin once the reverse lashings takes effect. I'm afraid I don't understand entirely what you mean. Thanks.
  19. 1. Centaurs aren't eusocial, they wouldn't have a queen. 2. What are the wings at, and what are they like?
  20. Yes. Now not every member of the species does, but at least one member does. Like ants, the queen is the only one with wings, but they do have them.
  21. The limbs are not connected to the thorax. Therefore it does not meet the insect body plan. Also centaurs don't have wings.
  22. Same reason that anti-voidlight gemstones caused Raboniel pain. Something about investiture in the soul recoiling or whatnot.
  23. Alright, this is a complete nitpick, but please write out the full name of Reverse lashings, and the metals. You can abbreviate feruchemy, and Allomancy, but F-G is really confusing. The bubble will both deflect the bullets, making it much harder to hit the same section of plate, and prevent him from pushing on the bullets What do you mean by 'enhanced by'? If it can be pulled of like that it will separate when it leaves the barrel. And the lashing would still take effect before you could pull it off. 1. Wax doesn't get Raysium. 2. That would break the gem. There's a fabrial that can pull the blood out of anyone who goes near it. Windrunner is safe inside of shardplate, but Wax just dies as soon as it gets close.
  24. They don't have a thorax or abdomen. At least not by the definition of insect bodies.
