"They're probably watching for weakness."

Is there a reason that your assumption would work? Which is more advanced than anything we've seen Jasnah do, or any Soulcaster do quickly. I don't know, but Stormlight doesn't block punches. They can heal from being mashed into a paste with a single pouch? Kaladin almost ran out after getting stabbed a few times. Not likely. Vin managed to rip a massive gate off of its hinges and then swing it around a courtyard, without using duraluminum or ripping herself in half. With duraluminum pewter, stone will be no problem.

They are made from Honor's investiture, which is pretty much the same as Stormlight, but spren aren't made from gathered or stored Stormlight. They're created at places where Honor's investiture gathers, implying that using Stormlight would be too inneficient.

I was talking about Azure's Blade, not Nightblood. While it is weaker than Radiant Blades, it is sentient and can be considered a Shardblade. Since spren are not made using Stormlight but instead direct splinters of Honor's power, it is safe to assume that Breaths are more invested than Stormlight. And it is more difficult to steal them than it is Stormlight.

Nameless narrowed his eyes. "I think we should wait until they attack."

I wouldn't say it struggles with invested metals. And as hard as Stormlight may be, leeching would be effective against breath: And a mere 1,000 breaths can make a Shardblade. Breaths are far more invested and more difficult to steal than Stormlight.

Breaths are a very different magic system from soulcasting. And you've given no reasons that my assumption wouldn't work. We didn't see any indication that the wall that Jasnah made was anything other than a solid chunk of Bronze. And we have no idea if a Blade can get that large. Also, remember that you have to trap the Mistborn in this room, so it can't be too small on the inside or else it'll be impossible to aim the soulcasting. Both Shallan and Kaladin blacked out briefly, I believe, and Stormlight only seems to work that way on falls. Not really. They'd have to heal themselves, which has been shown to drain their Stormlight extremely quickly. Mistborn regularly carry 10-20 minutes of metals at least. The Radiant is being pushed away from you with steel. The Mistborn could just throw a ton of coins against the wall behind them, then a bunch onto the Radiant's Shardblade, then Duraluminum push. You both destroy the walls at both ends, and force the Radiant to use an absurd amount of Stormlight all in one move.

"Be ready. If they attack, I'll throw some fireballs and punch a hole in their lines so we can escape."

Kaladin can't suck Stormlight from other Radiants, Chromium can. If it can do that, it can drain Stormlight being used for Division too.

No space in the spiritual realm, so it could manipulate the positioning of electrons or something. Seems more reasonable to me than Soulcasters being able to use energy from the spiritual realm without a perpendicularity. We only ever see her soulcast small but detailed things (writing with soulcasting) or large but uniform things (Thaylen city wall, aoe oil attack) So like two-3 feet? Still, with the spikes that's far larger than we've seen a Shardblade go. Stormlight would prevent them from being smashed by their own Shardblade? They'd have barely any time to react, and even after that they'd still have to be using up Stormlight. It's easy enough to surround a circular area large enough to escape through with coins.

Division will be stopped by chromium.

They don't need to use nuclear fusion. Investiture-based methods will be vastly more efficient. They'd have to be very skilled to do so. Again, we haven't even seen Jasnah do something like that, so why are you assuming an average Lightweaver would be able to do so? What dimensions were you thinking? Because? If the Radiant doesn't have Stormlight, the Mistborn can sense that and kill them with a Duraluminum push. And this discussion is useless, because the Mistborn would simply break out of the hallway with a Duraluminum push before the Lightweaver could do any of this.

Why? A large tube with sealed ends. You'd at least have to explain that to the air. "I need you to become a large tube with sealed ends, trapping both me and the Mistborn inside." 1.5 times at most? Assuming Syl became a 6 foot by 3 foot shield, and the hallway is 6 by six, that's still double at least, no including the spikes. Nothing specifically against it, and Chaos' statement implies that it's allowed. Which can easily be replenished, while the Radiant is paste against a wall. Mistborn doesn't have to burn Pewter until they go in for the finishing blow, after the Radiant's out of stormlight.

That doesn't make sense. Why would it need to do that? Source? We've never seen anyone soulcast something that large and complex quickly. Still, the biggest we've seen Syl get is a shield. This is at least several times bigger than that. That doesn't specifically say anything about not allowing new book content with spoiler tags, and in the TLM spoiler policy Chaos specifically states that "This is the place where you can talk about new book stuff with no spoiler tags!" https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/111233-spoiler-policy-for-lost-metal/ With duraluminum, Pewter will save them. if the Radiant has enough Stormlight to outlast their steel.

You could trick me into posting on an even number, perhaps. 1421

"It probably is."

More energy from where? Of course not. but soulcasting something that complex and large will take focus, and focus is hard when you have a Mistborn waiting for an opening. Radiants have fought in hallways before. Which is why I put it in a spoiler tag. Pewter allows them to take it, and the Radiant will still be mush if they don't react in time. Maybe it doesn't, but the Mistborn can push with steel hard enough to keep the Lightweaver pinned without actually hurting themselves.

Why should it be based on perception? Changing the physical aspect still requires energy. If the Mistborn can get their hands on the Lightweaver while they're distracted with Soulcasting, they won't be able to summon their Blade. Still, that's far bigger than any Blade we've seen summoned. Lost Metal: Duraluminum Pewter allows the Mistborn to resist that, and they can always push against coins on the back wall to prevent that from happening. The Radiant will be smashed into paste while the Mistborn will get some bruises at worst. Bracing against the back wall fixes that problem.

So can perception of mass. And while the change may take place in the spiritual and cognitive realm, the mass is still changed, and that still takes stormlight. Fair. Still, I think this strategy has too many potential ways to fail. Here's a list of things that need to go right in order for it to work as planned: 1. The Lightweaver must be able to make a hallway quickly and accurately. 2. The Mistborn must fail to dodge the hallway or get in close to the Lightweaver before they have a chance to summon their Blade 3. The Lightweaver's Shardblade must be able to fill the entire hallway and simultaneously create spikes in order to effectively threaten the Mistborn. 4. The hallway's walls must be too thick for the Mistborn to destroy, even with Duraluminum powered pushes. 5. The Radiant must have the reaction time to avoid being smashed flat against the wall by or giving an opening due to a Duraluminum powered push against their Shardblade, either directly onto it or onto a few coins that are on it 6. The Radiant must have enough Stormlight to outlast the Mistborn's steel.

Neither does space, so volume can't exist. No, they were very experienced. Adolin noted that they were becoming inhuman, suffering from savantism like Kaza. You know they can't push with steel how?

I don't know it it'll work, but I might try something like that eventually. Can't change my name for 90 days though.

And why would it not be mass-dependent for Stormlight usage, even in that case? Still, five experienced soulcasters took seconds of concentration to make something as simple as a windbreak. A single Lightweaver will have to explain what shape they want the air to form into, that's going to take a bit. Mistborn can burn Cadmium and outwait the Radiant.

Someone made an account for the AoNP and chose @Nameless as a username.

"I don't know." In the shadows around the group, shapes began to move.

As long as you don't make me post on an even number, go ahead. 1419
