  1. Raysium might be able to transfer Investiture from metalminds with the correct Tone. I don't think simply transferring the Investiture into a sphere is going to allow a Feruchemist to inhale it, I think that is more likely to make it inaccessible.
  2. Damn, a Brandon Avengers book... I want it
  3. I would say, stolen body In Suit's case, given that they used an explosive, (also assuming that they did not just use that phrase like "serving god in heaven"), they're definitely not just stealing his body, I'm assuming they plan to induct his Cognitive aspect, possibly make him like them but not necessarily.
  4. Hmm... Allomancers draw Investiture from Preservation / Harmony directly via metals, not from the Mists, at least, not typically. You'll have to give them the ability somehow. Maybe a better idea for mechanical Allomancy?
  5. Also, stealing multiple attributes from the same person might not be possible Regardless, creating a patchwork Spiritweb from multiple pieces might not result in anything... stable Forgery + Hemalurgy sounds like a much more viable option.
  6. Roshar seems close to having "seven gods in every grain of rice", I believe Hesina said something along that Japanese saying to Kaladin at one point too. Not everything is/has a spren but there does seem to be a more developed cognitive aspect to things on Roshar. And it does seem likely that the free Investiture from the Highstorms is responsible for this. Something to keep in mind though, the people we've seen in Roshar who talked to the Cognitive aspects of things also had access to Surges that interacted with the Cognitive side of objects in some manner. Shallan talking to objects is part of her powers, required for Soulcasting. Similarly Venli talking to stones is part of her Stoneshaping ability. Kelsier didn't really have any ability to interact with the Cognitive aspects of things.
  7. Given that Shardic Intent is a thing... maybe Adonalsium's mind (and thus, his Cognitive aspect) itself was shattered into pieces alongside his power?
  8. Spam bots just keep coming. They can and are banned, but more just keep popping up. Just report them. Go to the spam post, hit the report button (that's the grey flag icon near the top of the post), tell the mods this is a spammer.
  9. As we see with Lopen and Venli, there's an intelligent component to swearing Ideals, the Stormfather (and before him, Honor) and Cultivation accept or reject the words. They might be able to sense and interfere with any munchkinry.
  10. Hmm... a Scadrian has some extra Preservation, but many human populations in the Cosmere predate the Shattering so they might not have any significant flavouring from their local Shard(s). I don't think this matters much though? They store attributes, and which Shard's Intent supplies the Investiture probably wouldn't matter, if they manage to somehow get access to the Shard's Investiture to power their Feruchemy. As for storing Investiture in a Nicrosilmind, I think Feruchemists can store other Shards' Investiture, probably era 4 stuff, no Realmatic reasons for why I believe that, I just think it's more likely storytelling-wise.
  11. Uh... or maybe it will be a case of fate worse than death, and you basically turn into a spectre that can't interact with anything? There's also the idea that the term "Spiritweb" comes from the web of Connections of someone's life. So, unraveling your soul doesn't sound like a great idea. Some method of hiding Connections and creating false Connections might be safer for hiding, assuming they exist (given that Hoid can hide from the Shards, there's probably something, some method that can accomplish this)
  12. Adonalsium's Godmetal is suspected to be Dragonsteel (you can check out the Dragonsteel Prime chapters that are available on Brandon's site for a bit more detail, but there's not much)
  13. Right, continuing with the pretense that this is a polite discussion... One sided crush, sure, but there's enough representational problems going on here without adding more fuel to the fire
  14. So do we, there is no cure, only more drugs... welcome to the drug den /jk
  15. It should. Brandon certainly seems to be going for that. As for what that means for Sel... accelerated technological development, I should think... but Taldain and Scadrial are ahead of them apparently. Though that's not the only interesting thing about Sel's unique situation with its Cognitive Realm When people die, their mind appears on the Cognitive Realm. We see this with Kelsier, with Eshonai, with Wax (don't be alarmed, remember Bands of Mourning). So what does the Investiture plasma mean for the Selish? An even shorter afterlife? Or... Apparently Investiture can allow these Cognitive aspects of people to turn into Cognitive Shadows... Well, there's a lot of Investiture in Sel's Cognitive. And there are legends of the Svrakiss, the dead whose spirits got rejected by Jaddeth Lots of interesting stuff on Sel
  16. I loved his character till Oathbringer... especially in Oathbringer. Then Rhythm of War happened. He completely spiralled and I can't help but feel very uncomfortable about his plotline because he's not just a character, he's a representation of an issue... and the way his storyline went feels... yeah... just no As for Elhokar... I don't like him, it was still a bit yikes but I can't say I also felt a bit like, eh, what goes around comes around. I get that he didn't get what all that power he had meant, I really do, that just isn't enough to get over the fact that he let people rot away to save himself from some embarrassment. Though mostly I just didn't care about him, and continued to not care about him. During the... face-stab then double-tap scene, I was much more worried about Kaladin, and even more worried about Moash. I thought Elhokar would say the words, heal, and kill him, right there, right in front of Kal. So... it was mostly a relief.
  17. Jah Keved, and nope It's been long enough, so I'm revealing the answer: The Reshi Isles Okay, the floor is now open!
  18. Nope! Nope! 1) This place is not easy to reach 2) This place has been used as a refuge 3) This place is home to rare creatures 4) This place is quite warm 5) This place has appeared in multiple books Bonus) This place has experienced conflict with the homeland of a main character

    Thinking about a possible Scadrian business venture: Metalborn dishes, recipes that use trace amounts of Allomantic metals

      … that’s no trace

      :lol: admittedly, yeah, quarter teaspoon is not trace

  20. Yup. The theory is that Siah Aimians are Honorspren. The idea got lit in people's minds because of that scene in RoW where the Honorspren corpse is mistaken for a Natan corpse (who're descended from Siah Aimians and humans). In the Cognitive Realm, people's shadows point towards the sun, and the Siah Aimian's shadows also point towards the wrong direction. And they're both blue.
