    You need 10,000 breaths (8th heightening) minimum to break lifeless commands. Modern lifeless have 1 breath, ancient lifeless had at mininum a dozen, and Kalad's phantom's probably had more. Assuming that the old lifeless had 20 breaths, and assuming that an awakened metal weapon (which requires 1 thousand breaths) is exactly equal to a shardblade in terms of investiture, that makes spren about 50 times more invested. That's not even taking into account the fact that higher spren are the same level of sapience as humans, while lifeless are less sentient than humans, ranging from very low levels to almost human: Add to that the fact that the breath given to a Lifeless is literally programed to make the Lifeless a mindless slave that follows the orders of whoever has their command phrase, and you get them being vastly easier to "hack" into with breaths. It's like the difference between breaking a flimsy lock in an abandoned house and installing a new one so that you can enter whenever you want and smashing through a solid steel wall, murdering the person living inside, and installing a door on the wall complete with flimsy lock. It would honestly probably be easier to just drag spren into the physical realm like Ishar, then awaken them as a lifeless:

    Good thing that it's almost certainly impossible to pull off in reality.
  3. NameIess
    Probably. You might need millions of breaths or something ridiculous like that, but it is probably "possible". It would be insanely difficult because of the vastly higher levels of investment (1,000 times the average lifeless at absolute mininum) and the fact that spren aren't investiture specifically programmed to be robots like Lifeless are. It would probably be a lot easier for lesser spren. And if you could "break" a spren, you could probably do the same with a human.

    Granted. You get a picture of a random person, because everyone's your cousin according to The Lopen. I wish to be able to drink rocks.

    Your guess is as good as mine. From the WoB’s I looked up, Brandon hasn’t given any alternate uses for silver, although he has said that it has role in the Cosmere What that Cosmere role is, I have no idea

    I think the correlation comes from corrupted investiture, which Nightblood probably has and shades almost certainly have. I believe that Nightblood works by corrupting investiture (commonly from souls) and eating it, and the shades work by corrupting the spiritweb, perhaps eating some of it.

    I think that Preservation and Ruin were still bound by their intents as much as they were during the Mistborn era 1, but their minds were not warped by the intent yet. Thus they both had the drive to create something. However, with the powers that they had, creating on their own was impossible. Preservation could preserve life once it existed, but could never create life, as that would destroy the current state of things, going directly against his intent, which is basically stasis. Ruin could create, but could not stabilize that creation. He could not Preserve it enough to actually make a world. Because both of their minds were mostly clear of their shard's influence, they still wanted to create, but had a hard time doing so. Thus their agreement. They would create Scadrial, Ruin providing the ability to change, Preservation providing the stability. However, because of their Intent, Ruin made Preservation promise that Ruin could someday Ruin the creation they made Preservation planned to Preserve the world despite their agreement.

    I could see this being a thing. Here's a WoB talking about gut instincts in the Cosmere:

    inoM successfully knifing Void in the back and completing Nameless' avatar training program, becoming Moni, avatar of Nameless.
  15. NameIess
    Moni convinced Nameless that turning a potential avatar into Money for the sake of a pun was stoopid, not stupid.
  16. NameIess
    Nameless then decided that making Moniker into Money would be stupid. Nah. TLT's done story before. This has been pretty long though.
  17. NameIess
    Meanwhile, Nameless happily considered which powers his avatar should get.

    I'd rather wrestle the hog. It doesn't imply that I've scarred a bunch of people for life, and it's about 1000x cooler. WYR Sanderson publish a book about dragons or a book about aethers.
  19. NameIess
    Nameless raised his eyebrows, impressed. That had gone better than he had expected. He quickly recreated the LITERALLY everything, and considered how to continue teaching Moni.

    The reason electrum isn't very useful is because futuresight blocks futuresight. With atium, you see other people's shadows, allowing you to perfectly predict what everyone around you will do. Electrum lets you see your own future, and seeing your future changes your future, meaning that electrum will never give you the godlike abilities of atium, the end result always being a ton of future shadows that are basically useless other than countering atium. You can't commit to a certain course of action because seeing that course of action would immediately change the actions you take by at least the tiniest bit. resulting in your shadow repeatedly splitting.

    Nameless watched apprehensively.
  22. NameIess
    Nameless grabbed Sequence and Moni and handcuffed them together so that Moni could get an important life lesson from a narrator besides Nameless.
  23. NameIess
    Nameless ignored the so called "interdimensional time police" and finished up imbuing Moni with an unbreakable sense of mortality.
  24. NameIess
    Nameless grabbed the time stone from Void, crushed it into dust, and used the dust to wipe Void from the timeline.

    I would rather be on Scadrial, it's the most similar to earth, and assuming that it's not during TLR's reign or the events of the first series, it seems like a pretty nice place to live. Also, Harmony would probably be interested in my Cosmere knowledge, assuming that's the time period I appear in. WYR be an elantrian during the reod (say 5 years before the book Elantris begins) or a skaa during TLR's reign?
