    Nameless made an exaggerated bow to the not-there audience. Disappearing the entire audience was quite the feat, in his opinion.

    Those thieves were likely replaced by more thieves shortly afterwards. If thieves can bribe the officials in power in order to stay untouched by the law, then killing the thieves won't stop the problem. So what? Do you care about the thieves lives now? They're alive, and Jasnah can present them to the guard as a concrete example of how their "incompetency" (read: blatant corruption) almost got her killed.

    They would land on their feet, at most breaking their legs. With Hitler, there was no way to legally remove him. Jasnah had methods that could have both removed the thieves and hurt the corrupt people in power.

    I would say that the plot twist that epics are corrupted by their powers is not the "easy way out". It provides a limitation for the epics on the Reckoner's side, while also explaining why there's a world filled with tons of evil epics, which would realistically never happen. Obviously, there would be a lot of evil epics, (although most Epics would just be cowardly or greedy) but there would also be good epics. As for Brandon not wanting to explore a world where people are solely responsible for their own actions, Calamity ended with Calamity leaving, meaning that Epics will now be freed from the effects of his corruption. And Brandon seems to be continuing the series with Lux (Which I have yet to read) and possibly a Mizzy book. So I don't think it's the easy way out. I think it was a choice to explain why every Epic was evil.

    Soulcasting ropes around all of them before they had time to run away.
  6. NameIess
    But the attempt was there at least.
  7. NameIess
    and threw flowers at Nameless.
  8. NameIess
    The audience applauded happily

    Which Nameless pulled a coin out of.

    I do think that TLR burning Lerasium would have had no effect, but if for some reason he had made himself equal to a normal Lerasium mistborn, he could've burned one of the two lerasium beads and become more powerful, rather than resorting to hemalurgy.

    TLR was overconfident, but he was also smart. His system was designed to keep things under his control. He played the nobles and inquisitors against each other, he used his own reputation to great effect, and was smart enough to implement the soothing stations. Giving permanent control of koloss to inquisitors would probably not be a good idea. Even if he did let them have control over sections of his army for extended periods of time, it would be small sections. Letting them control all of them would be a bad idea. Regardless of exactly how powerful TLR is, as @HavingTheHasHoidAPurpose? mentioned, using lerasium would be far superior. He had not just one but two leftover beads, and using them to give himself extra power would be infinitely better than giving someone lerasium, then killing them with hemalurgy.

    Nameless glared at the wind, then pulled a rabbit out of a boot.
  13. NameIess
    Nameless gasped. How had the wind seen the coin in his hand? He must be losing his edge.
  14. NameIess
    We don't know that they did, and I don't remember anything implying that they did. Inquisitors did control koloss to put down rebellions, but did TLR let them control the koloss when they don't need to? I don't think TLR would do that, no matter how sure he was of his control over the inquisitors.
  15. NameIess
    The thing is, the koloss didn't get any new spikes. They only made new koloss out of their existing spikes. TLR keeping the koloss away from cities probably came from the fact that even Ruin couldn't perfectly control them during rampages. The inquisitors may have controlled smaller groups of koloss on occasion, but do you really think that TLR trusted them enough to let the permanently control large sections of his army?
  16. NameIess
    Wasn't Elend starting to feel stretched by the number of Kolloss he controlled? TLR controlled every single Kolloss, which I believe numbered in the hundreds of thousands, for a thousands years. That's more than double the number that Elend controlled.
  17. NameIess
    So he settled for doing a magic trick instead.

    Nameless took the opportunity to leap out from behind the air and rip up the peace treaty.

    @Bort @Frustration, I checked WoR, here's the relevant section from WoR chapter 88, page 1059:

    But two spikes, even two Lerasium Mistborn level spikes, wouldn't allow him to do what he did. 1. We see in the books that Sazed is wrong about TLR having the same power level as a normal Lerasium mistborn, so that epigraph is already obsolete. 2. It's possible that savantism played a role in his abilities/ 3. Yeah, I don't think he had access to Nicrosil. 4. Two spikes, even if he collected them from a lerasium mistborn, would not be enough. less than doubling his steelpushing and soothing powers would not have had that great of an effect.
  21. NameIess
    It means that either: 1. Brandon wasn't paying attention closely or got confused and answered the question wrong 2. Brandon originally had TLR as being spiked and has henceforth changed that 3. Brandon was being intentionally obtuse. Two spikes would never give substantial benefit to a Well of Ascension enhanced Fullborn.
  22. NameIess
    Well, that's the way of theories. Sometimes they get WoB'd one-shot, sometimes they survive, and sometimes it's anyone's guess.
  23. NameIess
    Maybe? It might depend on intent, or it might not. I have no idea.
  24. NameIess
    You can't make a lifeless out of cloth. Similarly, you can only make an awakened weapon out of inorganic materials. Bone is not inorganic, and would turn into a normal awakened object.
  25. NameIess
    Can you make a lifeless out of something that isn't a corpse? the materials that you awaken matter.
