Nice. I got it, by the way

To my knowledge, The Original was always intended to be solely an audiobook. So if it is coming to print, yeah, that's going to take a while

Spanreeds are pen-like objects that are placed onto uniform boards to keep consistency between spanreed users. The spanreeds are run by the pairs of gems (typically rubies) that are put into the equivalent of cages.

What is the policy for citing suggested WoBs in Coppermind articles? Wait until it is approved / removed as a suggestion and then cite it, or is it ok to cite it while it is a suggestion?

I would say "states of having eaten" because the metalmind can store multiple sittings of eating food, but that's just nitpicking. This seems like how a part of the core of how Feruchemy and Forgery work

Remember, temperature is relative. Could you find the quotes for the temperatures? I think that this might just be how the person experiencing it feels, not the temperature to the degree. And I think that the storm around Aimia is contributing to this.

Just a comment, Your title suggests that this is a book recommendation, but then you go on to divulge information about the plot

Finally gets shardblade, puts it in table

This is pertinent:

You never flipped over the Skybreaker coin to show Nale! 15:20: No, the question is can you do it in the double eye 19:10: I agree that it is probably Taln, but we don't know much about Heralds and Plate, as far as I know 25:13: I got that kind of obscure shardcast reference 27:46: I think that the other person on the Lightweaver print is Red 39:30: They'll be safe in the ocean. Supposedly. Mostly.

The white clothing was a Parshendi tradition, foreign to him. But he did as his masters required and did not ask for an explanation. He sat in a large stone room baked by enormous firepits that cast a garish light on the revelers, causing beads of sweat to form on their skin as they danced and drank and yelled and sang and clapped. Some fell to the ground red-faced, the revelry too much for them, their stomachs proving to be inferior wineskins. They looked as if they were dead, at least until their friends carried them out of the feast hall to waiting beds. Szeth did not sway to the drums, drink the sapphire wine, or stand to dance. He sat at a bench at the back, a still servant in white robes. Few at the treaty signing celebration noticed him. He was just a Shinservant, and Shin were easy to ignore. Most out here in the East thought that Szeth's kind were docile and harmless. They were generally right. The drummers began to beat a new rhythm. The beats shook through Szeth like a quartet of thumping hearts pumping waves of invisible blood through the room. Szeth's masters - who were dismissed as savages by those in more civilized kingdoms - sat at their own table. They were men with skin of black marbled with red. The red is what I got wrong from writing it down. I'm generally better at reciting it. This is how you know you're a sanderfan

All locations in the Spiritual realm are one and the same. It is heavily implied that Vax is a distinct place that we know has a distinct magic system with a strange form of Initiation to the magic system.

From the first paper you cited: ... When you just copied and pasted the equation we lost the nuance that it was 10^32 K, not 1023 K. Slight difference there. Brass melts at about 930*C, which is a little above the 1032 K, but 930*C < 10^32*C. I don't see how a Feruchemist could keep their metalminds from melting when the environment is 10^32*C, and I do not find it feasible that they could store that much heat. This could be pertinant, but I didn't really follow those papers very well: Because space and time are intrinsically related, if you expand time, space should expand as well. This should also hold for contracting. This kind of theory has been floating around for a while, and I think that it holds some promise as a possibility for FTL for Scadrial at least.

Welcome to the Shard! What is your favorite magic system and why?

It is, but that wasn't really pertinent to the discussion, so I neglected to mention it

Is that good enough?

Why are there two Eon plantations / lands? (Top left and bottom right) I think that this was covered in the book, but I can't find why both exist

What I'm getting caught up on is how this will help extend the life of the sphere or to let the Radiant use extra investiture. What I think that you are proposing is that the Sand will gather a significant amount of the investiture that is radiating from the sphere and that from there, the Radiant can pour water onto the sand and release the stored investiture. From there, the Radiant could possibly inhale the Investiture and conduct it back to the sphere (by hacking the magic to convert it back to Light) or use it. If they re-infuse the sphere, it will lengthen the life of Light in the sphere significantly. This seems to be what you are suggesting here: This makes sense to me, and I see how it could be useful to keep infused spheres infused for longer amounts of time, but what you said here earlier threw me off: If you require a perfect gemstone, then why do you need this process with the Sand to keep the gemstone infused? What benefit does releasing a large amount of investiture without having to draw the Light in have for the Radiant? This seems like a good way to convert kinds of Investiture to the kind that the Sand releases, but if you already need to hack the magic system to convert the Sand-type investiture (This made me think of Pokemon and the energy types for the different kind of Investiture ) to Light or to something else, then cutting out a step and directly hacking one type of Investiture to the kind that you need seems like it could be simpler. I feel like I'm missing the conclusion to your point.

The Second Variety and Beyond Lies the Wub are some of my favorites for Phillip K Dick

Just to be clear, are you claiming that the Investiture absorbed by the sand is or is not Investiture that is an 'excess' or more than what the sphere is holding and leaking?

Yes, the scars should be running roughly parallel with Kelsier's arm, but the model has them going perpendicular to it. Huge humble brag

Essentially, you claim that the amount of "spiritual radiation" emitted across a gem's lifetime is more Investiture than a Radiant would gain if they simply breathed in the Light from the gemstone. This process doesn't seem like it would be significantly net-positive for it to infuse other gems and sustain the process, at least on a small scale. This would need to happen on a massive scale to produce a significant net gain, and by that point, I wonder if there is not an easier way to do this. Especially on Sel. I think this would work, it just might not be very effective.

Well, with Compounding in general, you can both burn the metal and fill metalminds with the excess attribute. This is possibly impossible, but if the C-Brass burned their heat stores and filled metalminds with heat from the part of their body near the burning hot metal, then the metalminds would cool down and not be slag on the Compounder's skin.
