TLR's metalminds have atium in them. And completely full metalminds are only slightly less invested than a shardblade. And a fullborn might constantly tap fortune, or intelligence, or strength, or determination, or healing. A lot of feruchemical attributes would be nice to constantly tap if you could afford to, which a fullborn likely can. Well, you don't have to be a diver to spend 15 minutes compounding breath. You'd easily accumulate hours of it. Spend a minute storing, then compound that a couple times and there you go, hours or days worth of breath.

Radiant's can't explode stuff with Cohesion, or at least they couldn't. Might be able to now that Honor's dead.

If I had to guess? impervious. It blocks lightning and is airtight, so I don't see why it wouldn't block radiation too. Of course, with stormlight, that wouldn't be an issue anyways.

So gravity stops pulling on you? Everyone you know and love forgets you exist completely? I don't think they could overpower the Bondsmith's abilities. The BoM were less invested than an ordinary shardblade, and they were completely full metalminds. I doubt any amount of tapping or storing connection couldn't simply be countered by the Bondsmith simply making the false connection stronger. Bondsmiths can burn worlds and bind gods. They frighten Shards with their powers. They are bound to three of the strongest non-shardic spren in the Cosmere. Duraluminum compounders, particularly after medallions become commonplace, are a dime a dozen in comparison. Why be afraid of a Bondsmith if their abilities are so easy to steal. So Duraluminumminds can't store that. So they must store the ability to make connections. So they can't make connections that would be totally impossible to make otherwise. The spren has to agree. Nothing short of a Bondsmith can steal a Nahel bond against a spren's will. Otherwise you're making duraluminum compounders the most OP things in the Cosmere. They can steal spren bonds and are immune to bondsmiths? The oaths are bound to the strength of the bond, or else Kaladin would have gained Plate far before he did.

Kaladin couldn't have been sent visions by Odium except through Moash. And I don't think Shallan's D.I.D. needs a magical explanation.

A Nahel bond is more than blank connection. A spren can be friends with someone without beginning to form a Nahel bond with them, and you can't force a spren into a bond against their will unless you have complete mastery over connection like Ishar. F-duraluminum affects how fast you can form connections, it doesn't let you break existing ones. You can't do anything permanent with F-duraluminum, just temporarily alleviate the effects. And I don't think it makes sense for any duraluminum compounder to be able to easily counter someone with planet-destroying power that makes Shards afraid. The Stormfather or some other bondsmith spren would have to accept the oaths, the spren would have to accept the bond, and you can't say the ideals until you're ready for them. It's not dependent on connection to the spren. Either that, or when Ishar bound the radiants to oaths he implemented some sort of system that ties oath level to spren connection. And you can't steal a shard by being more connected, you can only make yourself a better candidate for a shard with no vessel.

Thank you so much! This is the best! Take all my money.

The Longest Thread (Misadventures)
NameIess replied to ElephantEarwax's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Nameless baked Doctor Who an apology cake. It tasted awful. -
A Fullborn trying to manipulate connections to beat a Bondsmith would be like trying to drown a shark with water. And I don't think it would be easy to connect yourself to a spren more strongly than it's radiant. Their souls are merged together. I don't think that will be easy to replicate, especially if the spren didn't want you to. And since you haven't sworn oaths, I don't think you could do it anyways. Connection is different from a Nahel bond, I think.
-
I don't believe you. Prove it. Well, you technically can't stop new branches from popping up, even after the war.
-
That I am. Not speaking in color seemed weird on this thread.
-
I haven't been on there in a while. I've been sticking to theory forums recently.
-
Why is St a nickname for you?
-
What do you mean by that? Like where has the character Nameless been?
-
maybe. What the heck does StXp stand for?
-
Well good luck with that.
-
What in the world does a war on this thread even look like?
-
Yeah, bondsmith is the only order that could beat a fullborn semi-consistently.

What's Your Bad Pitch For The Ending Of The Stormlight Archive?
NameIess replied to Bacon's topic in Stormlight Archive
Here's my pitch: Dalinar wins the contest, Kaladin and Szeth cure Ishar and purge Shinovar of the unmade, Shallan frees Ba-ado-mishram, and no one dies. El turns out to be a generic villain that kills no one and accomplishes no one before getting killed himself. Taravangian's plan gets immediately thwarted and he loses all credibility as a competent antagonist. Kaladin gets magically cured of his all his depression/PTSD and goes back into battle immediately. Happy ending, the good guys win, the bad guys lose, and the narrative tension is forever destroyed. -
Touching a metalmind is required to use it. If you remove the spiritual connection of touching it, they can't use it anymore.
-
It might work. It does take a bondsmith, and puts them at risk, and it would probably take a very long time, but it is a way that would work eventually. There are probably far less clunky methods of killing a fullborn if you have a bondsmith, like cutting off their connection to their metalminds or something like that.
-
Huh. Didn't know that. For the purposes of a roleplaying game, I would say that Kandra are extremely resistant to poisons. Some poisons might work on them, but they will probably not be killed by anything nonmagical.
-
So far as I know, Kandra are immortal unless entirely destroyed. The drug that inhibited their shapeshifting didn't allow them to be killed like a normal human. So poison wouldn't work. If they can take a barrage of bullets and shrug it off, they can shrug off any poison too.
-
The thing is, Kandra still know of no way to kill each other besides acid. The poison they made can only stop a Kandra, and won't kill them. So poisons would be ineffective, although particularly powerful ones would be able to hurt them.
