Unless Charlie Hemalurgically spikes Bob, nope, he should not be able to use Bob's metalminds just because he stole some spikes that Bob was using, those spikes would be Hemalurgically charged with Alice's Feruchemical ability, not Bob's, even if Bob only gained Feruchemical abilities by spiking Alice, those metalminds should still require Bob's Spiritual Identity to access, I think.

The 10 textile fabrics can be categorized into internal & external: depending on whether the effect produced is a localized phenomenon focused on the wearer's body / the clothing itself or if it targets other people or animals or objects, and pushing & pulling: Push textile abilities are accessed via burning, i.e they literally burn up (without harming the wearer) while their effects are... well, in effect, leaving the user in their underpants (which can also be burned during emergencies). The process of burning itself starts with a single thread (the whole dress doesn't just spontaneously ignite... if it did, that could be quite the ability within itself in the right hands, or rather on the right people... well, minus the one fabric that does exactly that) kind of like a candle wicker Pull textile abilities are accessed via storing and tapping. The fabrics get more & more worn out, the more they are used; eventually turning into rags. Rags can also be used to store and/or tap, of course, but may leave their user in a compromising situation afterwards. Furthermore, both the act of storing as well as tapping wears out the fabric, so they might get worn out in the middle of storing. Overuse can turn one into... one of the dreaded Nudists. 1) Canvas: external, pushing. Canvas aka camo or camouflage (regardless of whether or not they actually are camo) makes the wearer difficult to focus on, causing other people's eyes & attention to just slide off from the wearer. Rate of Burning does not depend on the no. of onlookers, but the effect of the power: low burn is as described above; medium burn causes viewers to think of the wearer as a non-entity, irrelevant, someone they don't need to take into account, not worth focusing on; high burn is basically a cognitohazard which actively deletes the wearer's existence from other people's minds. 2) Satin: external, pulling. Storing pulls other people's attention towards the wearer. Storing is only possible once someone looks at the wearer, once the process starts it's difficult for onlookers to look away or think of anything else aside from the wearer. Tapping causes whoever had looked at the wearer while Storing to think of the wearer and nothing else for the duration of tapping. Not Tapping, but having Stored attention from the subject may still cause them to think of the wearer somewhat obsessively. 3) Wool: internal, pulling. Normal knitted wool yarn. Truly an all-weather fabric! Stores warmth, keeping you cool on a sunny day, and letting you Tap warmth on a cold day. Performs an essential function, as it is used by the Fire Force. 4) Cashmere: internal, pushing. Burning it causes it to... well, burn. The flames produced are supernaturally intense and difficult to put out by normal means, on top of all that it Burns (and burns) rather slowly. 5) Linen: external, pulling. Allows one to store things in a linen pocket & later "tap" or retrieve it. Objects put into the pocket must fit into the pocket. The pocket itself need not be capable of bearing the weight of the object as the objects put into the pocket (dimension) disappears from this plane of existence entirely. It can then only be retrieved by the same person who put it there. An entire garment can be considered a "pocket" if it can completely enclose an object (or person, or animal) and any openings can be shut closed. If the linen is completely destroyed, whatever was stored inside is lost forever. 6) Lace: internal, pushing. Allows two people wearing an article of clothing cut from the same piece of fabric to share their senses. Often shared between lovers (you damn well know what for! But not just for that...) Sometimes also used as a romantic or filial gesture of sharing pain (doesn't actually divide the pain between two wearers, only makes the other part of the pair experience the same amount of pain). If one person is killed while wearing lace, so is the other person if they happen to be wearing the paired lace at the time of death. If they were not wearing it at the time of death, it just extinguishes the slowly burning lace. If they put it on again, they will experience total sensory deprivation. 7) Spandex: internal, pulling. Stores (conventional, regional) attractiveness. Wearers may come out looking painfully generic (but still conventionally attractive), wearers might also come out looking... inhuman & uncanny. While "Storing", the user's appearance changes into the regional standard of unattractiveness, and while "Tapping", the user's appearance changes into the regional standard of attractiveness. "Conventional attractiveness" encapsulates being whole, healthy & young, with all that implies. Can be shared between people, with all that implies, though doesn't actually steal anyone's health or youth, thankfully. 8) Tweed: external, pushing. Extends an aura of general well-being and literal good vibes. Can cause confidence boost in surrounding people as well as a minor physical health boost. Can also be used to boost favourable impression towards the wearer. 9) Denim: external, pulling. Stores luck. Can be shared between people, with all that implies. Rate of Storage = Rate of Tapping, i.e. small incidences of bad luck cannot be exchanged for one instance of good luck. Cost of one instance of boosted luck can only be equal to one instance of bad luck with comparable value to the wearer. 10) Velvet: internal, pushing. Pushing causes the strength & durability of the fabric to increase drastically, also giving the wearer telekinetic control over their dress. War coats and War gowns are made with an excess of fabrics, wearers of the latter are sometimes referred to as Battle Ballerinas or "Babe-lades" due to their famous signature move of spinning like a top. Mixed fabrics forbidden since the birth of the Eternal Storm: a wandering man and his giant whirlwind of fabrics, a memetic hazard, unspooling woven textiles with his passing, spreading fire, good vibes, improbable events and causing disappearances. The so-called "god textiles": Leather: internal, pushing/pulling. Allows the wearer to attain the natural abilities and skills of the pelt of whatever creature they're wearing. Flayed skin of human beings also works. This ability transference is considered the pulling part, the pushing allows the wearer to maximize any one of their skills to inhuman perfection. Metal Armour: external, pushing/pulling. Allows the wearer to Store or displace parts of their armour, causing it to dematerialize from their suit, only to rematerialize wherever they invision when they Tap it. The displaced piece is not locked into its original shape, it can rematerialize in any shape they will it to take, but still preserving its volume. Pushing allows the wearer to burn up anything within their line of sight that's made of the same metal as their armour, at twice the rate of the Burning of their armour. Recent development of massive battlesuits, called Gundams have used this ability to devastating effect. Moods

Aw, catching up is both a joyful occasion & a mournful one. We, at the 17th Shard, understand that dichotomy only too well Hi, & welcome to the Shard!

How in the heccing hecc did u dig this out! It's over a year old! Now that's some dedication to leg-pulling!

Wasn't Honor said to have been surprised by the appearance of Surgebinders?

Not just Rithmatist, Dreamer fits in the Cosmere very well too!

Yeah, I got the same idea after listening to Kaymyth but that still leaves quite a few questions:

Nonsense, I'm not kowai, I'm kawaii, ne?

I think you just found a redirect for a common error people make (either spelling mistake or reading it as "wondersail" while looking for the article on Wandersail

Huh, that was an interesting idea that Kaymyth proposed, we don't see the Shardblades of all the Recreance Radiants, there should be a lot more, but if some of them were left behind as Soulcasters rather than Shardblades... Unlike Shardblades, Radiants who can Soulcast wouldn't need their spren to turn into Soulcasters though so that would have to have been a conscious decision if that happened, on the other hand, we do see pre-Recreance Radiants using a Regrowth fabrial, and they probably had Soulcasters too... but why? A Radiant is much more versatile than having a spren manifest themselves as a fabrial, and even if before the imprisonment of Ba-Ado-Mishram it wouldn't have meant being comatose, it still doesn't seem that much preferable than being Bonded (and before the Recreance they shouldn't have considered being Bonded that dangerous, right? Oh wait, the Inkspren did consider the possibility, only half of them Bonded. Hmm...), so why would pre-Recreance spren have chosen to do that at all? Parent, Sibling, gender neutral terms, there were hints, dammit! Good eye with Sja-Anat's Enlightened spren calling her mother, despite having already existed before being changed by Sja-Anat, seeing it as a rebirth. Hey, Urithiru is the Sibling manifesting in the Physical Realm, does that mean that the Tower is made up of godmetal or godmineral? The Sibling is the only spren we know of who manifested gemstones, huh, I wonder if those gemstones count as being more special than regular gemstones? Do they count as... godmineral too Wow, I didn't even notice it, all Godmetals aren't necessarily near indestructible: Atium and Raysium are specifically molded, and Soulcasters can (maybe) be damaged! So Shardblades (& Honorblades) are something special in that way. And I didn't even wonder about Melishi's failsafe fabrial Soulcasting, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! That's a pretty major thing in retrospect... Unrelated but, have I mentioned how much I love the term "Towerlight"? A lot of people complained about that term, but I loved it! It invokes the image of a lighthouse, which is rather fitting, an idea of a bastion of light against the darkness. And the idea of the Tower City of the Radiants glittering with its own strange Light in ancient times just makes me really want a pre-Recreance, possibly pre-Aharietiam novella! Convincing a minor spren to manifest as a fabrial vs imprisoning them in a gemstone, huh. Kinda like how minor spren Bond with native Rosharan flora? That should be possible Hey, you guys didn't talk about the ancient fabrial which apparently made Aimia habitable! It could have been a big spren who manifested themselves as such *looks at Cusicesh the Protector* We've only seen suppressor fabrials being manifested by the Sibling and a potentially completely new? type of Voidspren, huh. I wonder if other spren could learn how to do that.

You mean the Champion with Nine Shadows? Hmm... can't help you there, I didn't pay attention to their mentions much, I'm afraid A lot of people seem to be theorizing about the Champion being someone Dalinar loves and cannot bring himself to kill... Personally, I think that would be rather cliché. I think the sign of the nine means tanat, under the sign of the Herald Talenelat'Elin, not 9 as a no. of Odium.

Whenever I read anything with a magic sword, I think about Nightblood, well, to be more exact, I think Nightblood can beat that sword easily

I don't think so, as long as they have the normal level of Investiture, they'll not be Drabs, it shouldn't have to be BioChromatic Breath. Denth has apparently never experienced being a true Drab as he had a Divine Breath. And being a Drab is terrible: so I hope that the Nalthians discover off-world travel soon and get off their deceptively colourful planet with a human exploitation encouraging Investiture system

Wow that is creative! It's very difficult to translate fantasy terms like this, and I couldn't imagine any possible translation that sounded good for this word

Connection is Investiture too, and Investiture resists Investiture. Furthermore, we see Nightblood cutting & destroying Connections in RoW against Ishar when he tried to steal Dalinar's Connections to the Stormfather and Odium. Bondsmiths unchained are apparently almost freeform Hemalurgists but Connection isn't everything to the Invested Arts, but it's enough to majorly mess with them. It'll be difficult to acquire all magic systems via this, but simply stealing Connection between the magic user and the Shard whose Investiture powers their magic should be enough.

Only too relatable, deadlines are an eternal source of motivation, eheheh

That looks almost real! Edit: oh there's actual metal coating! What did you wrap around the handle, they look like tiny beads? (idk if handle is the right word for that part of the sword) I think that Shardblade is Oathbringer, I'm not sure though, I never paid much attention to the appearances of the Shardblades, but iirc fanart of Oathbringer shows it having a... hooked end like that

Oh I like that! How is the word "Stormlight" translated?

Welcome to the Shard, look forward to seeing you around on the forums!

(smug satisfaction) Plus, this WoB implies there was something about Sel's Cognitive Realm that Odium took advantage of to stuff Dominion and Devotion there and create the Dor

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, eheheh, @RShara, I told you so! Think about it. Seons were formed during the Splintering of Aona. Seons have Aons at their centre. Which means Aons themselves must've existed in some form before the Splintering. So AonDor could've too. Elantris was found abandoned by the Arelish people when they first settled there, where did the original builders go? Wonder if they were killed during the clash with Odium. Might be they left and became the Ire.
