She was fed up with all the fear of death that was going around. In particular, the motto of the Deceased Dead aggravated her in the extreme. (This motto, for those in the dark, was "Cross us, and we'll kill you twice over." It aggravated Edalena because she'd already died once, and doing so twice more would exclude her from membership in the newly formed council of [INSERT GENERIC NAME HERE].)

I think this story takes place in Mistborn era 4 time, given the spaceship at the end. Could be earlier, given that the woman was a worldhopper, but Hoid seemed to indicate that spaceships exist at least somewhat commonly, with sentient computers (spren) or whatever aboard them.

For thirty years they terrorized the land, turning brave men into cowards and strength into weakness. Until one day, a hero had enough and stood up to face them head on. This hero was neither brave nor strong, merely determined.

Unfortunately, it soon ran into a problem: only the most powerful of ghosts could become ghgosts. So powerful did they need to be, in fact, that only three ghosts of sufficient power could be found.

Unfortunately, the chouta ghost was so strong that its death only caused it to become a chouta ghghost.

Here’s a WoB on A-Pewter benefits: Also confirms that there’s no muscle mass increase to go along with it.

So it was that when the chouta ghost ate Buffy’s soul, it died.

Indeed,Of all of Gruffy’s sins, killing that Buffy hurt the most.

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless looked Rue, nodding his head towards Sylva and sending suspicion through the bond, then turned back to the forest and disappeared into the trees. @Aes Sedai @The Wandering Wizard

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway Nameless glanced at the sleeping bodies on the ground. “Right.” He turned to the forest, beginning to walk away from everyone else. “I’m going to go set some wards. Insa, you want to set up camp While I’m out?” @Aes Sedai

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway “So that’s what’s going on with her.” Nameless gave Emma a concerned look. “So Kaos has already destroyed a dimension? He’s still imprisoned, right? Or has he broken free already?”

But it was never a viable plan. Filled does not mean full. Soulcasting people isn’t viable large-scale, division makes you more useful as heavy artillery than front line fighter, and Elsecallers are healers and highly mobile special forces. Why bother when you can make your opponent’s clothing as hard as steel? Or instantly make favorable terrain for your squad? Or make you opponent’s weapon melt on contact with your skin? I doubt Willshapers have the control that Stonewards will. Windrunners may fight more skirmishes, but Stonewards will fight on the frontlines of battles day in and day out. While the Windrunners are sparring with Heavenly Ones and scouting, Stonewards are in the thick of things. I don’t need proof, just evidence. Your evidence for Tension granting enhanced strength in Stonewards is that one scene with Dalinar. My evidence against it is the no existence of claims of super human strength among the Radiants, and it never being mentioned as a potential power. I’ll admit that it’s possible, but I don’t think we have enough evidence to conclusively say one way or the other. Regardless, that doesn’t matter. Stonewards could already sink the Twinborn into the ground and suffocate them, so even if strength would work using it is unnecessary.

Ravelast: Sixth Archive Gateway “I think he’s kinda like Ruin, maybe. Except on a grander scale? Not sure. Him being imprisoned reminds me a lot of the Dark One, honestly. Has he started affecting things in other dimensions?” @InfiniteInsanity

He likely had unsealed metalminds, like Wayne did. Shooting him would’ve worked eventually. A hundred people working together could lift 2 tons quite easily. Likewise, a group of Elsecallers in a perpendicularity could soulcasting Plate. Probably. Liquefying the ground beneath you opponent’s feet isn’t offensively potent? Unless they have soulcasting, gravitation, whatever it is that the fused who slip through stone have, or possibly division, they’re dead. Radiants have never really had to fight people with Blades before, at least not large-scale, and even then a Stoneward’s powers aren’t useless. They’re perfect for a soldier on the front lines, making is easy to disrupt enemy lines. And they can make fortifications too. Add in the Stoneward’s oaths about being there when needed, and they’re spending more time on the front lines than any other order, meaning they’ll be in general the best soldiers. No need for super strength.

Nameless shook his head. “No, I’ve never been here before, and honestly don’t know why everyone’s here. Something to do with Kaos?”

In terms of power, Ishar is probably up there. Unchained Bondsmiths are feared for a reason, and he’s actually had time to learn his powers.

Given that most fourth ideal Radiants have decades of experience, I think it’s fair to give at least years to store for compounders. Not that they’d need it. Miles had infinite health, to the point that shooting him would only waste ammo. A bullet takes Wayne like a week or two, and not once does Wax even consider shooting Miles a few hundred times to be a viable strategy. Really? Because l could swear that Jasnah told Shallan the opposite. I’m used to carrying supporting weight with my legs. Doesn’t mean I can lift 2 tons on my own. They already have the most combat-oriented powers that doesn’t turn them into scouts, air support, combat medics, or heavy artillery and a patron Herald who’s the most skilled and determined fighter among the heralds. I don’t think they need super strength.

If they can do that, then yeah. I mean, could it? Wax is no compounder and he’s done plenty of feats somewhat close to this. Don’t have access to the book right now, but I’m pretty sure that Jasnah told Shallan that she couldn’t bring herself over in OB That WoB says filled, not full. And that the more invested it is the more difficult it becomes. A full metalmind is almost a Shardblade. And they have a reputation for super strength? It could have been a Bondsmiths only thing.

Is there any reason that the Ghostbloods couldn’t make aluminum I’m their own? They have scholars among their ranks, couldn’t they have discovered the secret?

That could work, although we haven’t seen a Bondsmiths simply deleting a connection yet. It will be if the Radiant has anywhere near normal levels of Stormlight. If they have too much, then yes, gravitation will work. You can’t physically transport yourself to the CR, unless I’m mistaken, and soulcasting full metalminds would take absurd levels of Stormlight. If the Radiant has that much Stormlight, then yeah, that would work. It is possible without a perpendicularity. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to get back. I don’t think that we can take one thing that Dalinar did once as proof that tension allows super strength in all scenarios. Yes. As I said, this only works if the compounder can get the drop on the Radiant. Otherwise the fight would be very much in the Radiant’s favor.

Spiritual adhesion? I think a Bondsmiths would be better off opening a perpendicularity or something. Gravitation won’t work, considering how much Stormlight they’d need to lash the Twinborn. division probably wouldn’t work on the Twinborn, but it could kill them by burning the ground around them. abrasion should let the Twinborn slip out. transformation… I don’t know. Maybe you could turn the ground beneath you to air? Might not be too effective. Although transforming the air to stone would work. transportation would definitely work, but using it would probably result in a draw, considering the difficulty of getting back to the physical realm. cohesion could work too, suffocate the Twinborn in stone. All of this assumes, of course, that the Radiant’s head isn’t crushed underneath the Twinborn. If that happens, they won’t be conscious to use their surges and the Twinborn can just wait until their Stormlight runs out. So, there is a chance, if the Twinborn is rather lucky.

Yes, although the Twinborn’s metalminds (of which they’d probably want a lot. I’d imagine using a full suit of armor wouldn’t be out of the picture if they knew what they were up against) could prevent the Blade from killing them.

You’ll be someone who’s read Stormlight five and Mistborn era 3, and watched whatever Sanderson movies have come out. At least one Mistborn movie, if I had to guess. 1445

A dual iron Twinborn could have a shot at victory if, and only if, they manage to get the drop on the Radiant (literally and figuratively) and crush their Plate completely. Assuming the Twinborn didn’t plate themselves with aluminum the Radiant might be able to heal, but regenerating their entire suit of Plate will take far too much Stormlight. And if they manage to crush the Radiant’s head or upper spine against the ground, it’s possible they’d be unable to heal as long as the Twinborn sits on top of them.

We don’t know that Sadeas was being hammered on the entire time, correct? His banner fell, and then Dalinar fought through the army to him, but I don’t think Sadeas was specifically on the ground with his Plate being smashed the entire time. I won’t have access to my book till Thursday or Friday, so if the thread’s still open then I’ll try to find it.
