    We can argue about those future developments when they come about. We've had multiple threads arguing this subject, and I doubt we're going to stop making them anytime soon.

    No. As Kaladin currently is, he would have zero chance of winning. We can't give Kaladin powers that he might have in the future without even having an inkling as to what those powers are.

    Kaladin being able to fight with his eyes closed is not Atium. At most it'll be a spider-sense kind of thing that comes from being able to sense the wind around him. Ishar has 7,000 years of combat experience and an enhanced body. And let me repeat myself: even if Kaladin had Atium, he would not be able to beat a Fullborn. Fullborn have too many powers, and their F-steel is simply too powerful for any normal person to beat. Marasi literally went faster than the speed of sound.

    Kaladin can't beat something he can't react to. Even if he straight up had Atium, he wouldn't be able to react to a Fullborn fast enough. I'm a huge fan of Kaladin, but there's no way for him to win in a straight up fight if the Fullborn uses their powers to the fullest.

    Moni stared up at the tree. "Something happened here. Why didn't X prevent this? or tell anyone about it?"

    Alright, now that I've finished watching Brandon read the first 6 chapters, here's my observations: This guy is obviously a secret agent/mercenary for hire with lots of PTSD. His earth seems to have more advanced technology than ours, and might have magic as well, although he doesn't seem to believe magic exists so if it does it's not common knowledge. I have no idea as to why there are multiple people from earth in the dimension, except for the theory that the main character got into this dimension illegally. Honestly, before listening to this book's reading, I was thinking that I was going to be *meh* on this one, but after Brandon's video, I'm very much looking forward to reading it.

    You mean dimension traveling Jason Bourne.

    Well, I know that you can't change your vote, but I want to know if @Dannnex would accept changed votes.

    So, the second secret project has been revealed! The title is: "The Frugal Wizard's Guide To Surviving Medieval England". Let's talk about it!
  10. NameIess
    Say, can people change their vote?
  11. NameIess
    No don't give him freedom of choice, we need all the votes to be for yes.

    If I was going to be evil? I'd pick hemalurgy. If I was not trying to be evil? I dunno. Maybe regrowth? I could perhaps heal their lack of breath.

    I could see this happening in the back half, but not in book 5.

    Moni shook her head. "I saw... something."

    I think we're at a standstill in this argument. I think that making a Bondsmith should take an extremely large amount of investiture, and that they will never be copied on a large scale. They way they've been shown as special and the fact that Bondsmith squires did not get any powers despite swearing oaths is to me evidence that being a Bondsmith requires a ton of Investiture. You disagree, and I don't think we're making any progress in this argument. So let's move on, this argument was only tangentially related anyways. Your original argument was that Atium would be fairly easy to soulcast, here's a WoB that says it wouldn't be: In addition, here's a WoB that says that making Atium with soulcasting would be possible, but it would take more power than you would get from Dalinar's perpendicularity: Even accounting for inefficiency in the investiture conversion, I think these WoB's confirm that Atium is extremely invested, and even the small amount that was in TLR's bands would be nigh-impossible to soulcast. I mean, what can Kaladin realistically do to a Fullborn using F-steel? I know his plot armor would probably save him, but unless he gets the fullborn with a power suppressor, I really doubt he would be able to win in a straight-up fight.

    Moni stumbled back, falling to the ground. "What was that?" Nameless shook his head. "It's the end of one universe. I don't think the universe can end.

    Moni sighed, but reached out and touched the tree.
  18. NameIess
    Marasi leaked mists, and allomancers don't normally glow. I highly doubt that he can still draw power from Honor, and if he can, he had to have reforged that connection without access to Honor's power.
  19. NameIess
    If that were the case, then where did all the stories of heralds glowing like the sun come from? Doing extreme Bondsmith stuff would take tons of investiture? Extreme Bondsmith stuff like... stealing the Stormfather's bond to Dalinar and manipulating Odium's connections? Cause Ishar could do that.
  20. NameIess
    We don't see Ishar bursting alight with tons of stormlight to glow brighter than the sun before he summons Honor's perpendicularity. Shards fear Bondsmiths because they can manipulate connections as well as (or maybe even better than) shards can, but have no restrictions on that power. If Bondsmiths could be made from normal power spren, then why are there only three Bondsmith spren? Why didn't Bondsmith squires have power?
  21. NameIess
    Moni stared at the tree. Why should I touch that exactly?
  22. NameIess
    Bondsmiths can manipulate shards. Dalinar can summon Honor's perpendicularity without stormlight. Bondsmiths are expressly stated to be beyond all other orders. Unchained Bondsmiths terrify shards. The level of power that they wield is way beyond that of normal orders. If Ishar could use his powers without stormlight, then why couldn't Nale? And anyways, even when Honor was alive the heralds couldn't use their powers without Stormlight, they just got infinite Stormlight from Honor.

    Moni gestured at the dead avatars. "Shouldn't X have prevented this? Or at least noticed it?"
  24. NameIess
    I was emphasizing the difference between normal matter and godmetals. A godmetal is investiture made manifest in the physical realm, normal matter on Scadrial is investiture converted into matter. Bondsmiths have the power of gods. If the powers of a Bondsmith could be granted by a normal-power spren, then there'd be hundreds of bondsmiths and Roshar would be Ashyn 2.0. And Ishar can use his powers without stormlight. If he needed stormlight to use them, he'd never be able to summon Honor's perpendicularity anywhere besides a highstorm. I agree. However, the difference between a Bondsmith and a Skybreaker is very very different from the difference between two types of misting. One wields the power of a god without restrictions, causing the Shards of Adonalsium to fear him, the other can fly and make stuff break.

    "I have no idea." Moni looked at the survey. Are you alright?
