    Granted. You have three thousand breaths. Your bane is that you have three thousand breaths left before you die. I wish for an awakened arm bracer.

    Moni pulled out her extra-large potato peeler and extra-large potato chopper.
  3. NameIess
    Moni threw potato peels at them.
  4. NameIess
    Moni did like french fries, but unfortunately the French fries that Thaidakar had sent to attack her were too salty.

    Moni was sad about this, as she didn't really like potatoes. However, she did need practice cooking, so she reluctantly pulled out her peeler.

    But that was irrelevant.

    Granted. The main effect is extreme pain. I wish that I will be smart.

    So basically everything was the same as it had always been.

    That does make sense.

    Well, it would certainly fray their souls, similar to what holding the shard of Odium did to Rayse. It might help to have a soul with connections to other shards, or maybe a soul that is less connected to Odium would be less affected by the insanity?

    The Ghanderflaffle empire rose in the distance, an ancient reminder of times past.

    And fear.
  13. NameIess
    It could be that. It could also be that they act with honor, and are thus less affected by Odium's intent.

    Another factor you may not be considering is the Parshmen's forms. Even ignoring forms of power, regular warforms are physically and maybe even mentally superior to human soldiers. The Parshendi, despite their lack of tactical knowledge, survived and even won against human armies that used modern tactics and had better equipment. Warforms don't need to be equipped with armor, give them a weapon and food and they're good to go. Humans need to be equipped with armor, which, when you lose the knowledge of metalworking, becomes a big problem compared to your enemy who just needs to give their soldiers weapons. Not to mention that their soldiers are stronger than you, get a soldier's mentality more quickly than you, and probably learn quicker than you. Then you add in regals, and suddenly radiants have to not only fight fused and thunderclasts, but also regals. And they have to make up for the average human soldier being inferior to the average parsh soldier. And humans will almost always have a disadvantage in equipment, as warforms get armor that is "Nearly as hard as steel, but half the weight" according to Leyten (ch. 63 page 878 tWoK), basically for free, while humans are stuck with bronze or leather armor. In addition to this, I think you might be underestimating the fused. Kaladin is the only third ideal windrunner that we see able to fight evenly with Leshwi. The only other windrunner that we saw fighting Leshwi, Sigzil, lost. Sure, having shardplate is a huge advantage, but it would probably also ruin the honor system that the modern day fused and radiants have. I imagine that if Kaladin entered a battle with his plate, multiple heavenly ones would attack him. And considering that after over a year has past since the radiants began to return, and there are only two fourth ideal radiants, one of which bonded a spren years ago, it will take a while before a dead fourth ideal radiant is replaced.

    Screaming in agony form the intensity of the Flames.

    The fire prepared to explode in fury.

    Granted. You become the Nightwatcher's bondsmith for the five seconds before Cultivation kills you. I wish to become very skilled.
  18. NameIess
    The fire started spreading, as if in response to the screams of the many.

    The thing is, Radiants aren't pipes. Radiants are dams. A Mistborn takes power from Preservation, and their "pipe" determines how quickly they can take that power. Radiants take power from spheres or Honor's perpecdicularity, but they are not limited by how quickly they can absorb power, but by how much power they can hold. Like seriously, name one time in the books where a Radiant was limited in how quickly they could use their powers. If there is a limit, then it is there because to use their powers more quickly would kill them.

    Nameless summoned water out of the air in an attempt to put out the fire. It didn't work very well.

    So, here's a WoB on how compounding works (spoiled for length): So basically, when you compound, you are burning the charged metalmind. However, because of the investiture you stored in that metalmind, instead of getting the normal allomantic power from the metal, you instead get the feruchemical power. So, to answer your question, it would not be difficult to compound connection because the allomantic effect doesn't activate while you are compounding. It is replaced with the feruchemical effect. That said, burning normal duraluminum while compounding could be dangerous:

    Nameless winced as the statue immediately went up in flames.

    Ignoring all the laws of physics, Nameless completed his thousand-foot tall rock statue. It stood tall and proud, a perfect representation of his now-deceased rock pet.

    Mach speed Kal can already happen. Give him enough stormlight and he can do it. Your analogy of large force over small time compared to small force over large time doesn't work because Radiants can already do large force over large time. They are limited by two factors: the strength of their intent, and their available stormlight. Duraluminum neither increases the available stormlight nor increases the strength of their intent. Therefore, it would have little or no beneficial effect for Radiants.

    Nameless thought that this was an overly complicated method of thinking that this was an overly complicated method for carving a statue. He laughed maniacally as he continued to carve, intent on breaking as many brains as possible.
