I was wondering: what are the rules in which commands work? There are simple commands and not so simple commands. How would you know if a command you give would work? I thought at first that the reason some things don’t work is because they are abstract ideas, but “protect me” is one of the simplest out there. maybe it has to do with how clear the message is? Protect me is very clear; if someone attacks me, stop them from harming me. But then again, what counts as harming?

What about sentient awakened objects? Is there a secret to making those? Or is it one of the many mysteries of warbreaker?

Would blood actually make it explode though? Doesn’t it only explode in contact with water?

So how about returned? They are basically CS stapled with a divine breath. Kelsier made the BoM, so he was able to use allomancy somehow.

Thank you so very much, I will fix this.

No, it steals one from each magic system that person is harnessing. if they are a twinborn, you take both abilities if you are a L-mistborn Lightweaver, you take an allomantic ability and one surge

Thanks!

So I just thought of something! For atium, you steal one ability hemalurgically, and with lerasium, you steal all of the abilities! This is like the allomancy/ Feruchemy thing! You can only have one or all but what makes this better is that there is one way for you to have two abilities: if you are a twinborn. so what if harmonium hemalurgically steals one of each ability from a magic system! one from Feruchemy, one for allomancy, one for surgebinding, and so on! i feel like this has some merit and I’m losing my spheres/marbles!

Do windwhisperers get to the point where a loud noise would make them unconscious, or does the Feruchemy also come with helping them deal with that? also do they have to dampen or increase all of their senses or just one?

Do lifeless need a passcode? if a misting is revived as a lifeless, will they still have their powers? if a misting comes back as a returned, will they still have powers? what does storing a divine breath in a Nicrosil mind do? how does buying breath work? can you store individual breath in an object? So like four or 27?

Welcome to the shard @Artoxic_Flame! My personal favorite is probably the scaldrial magic system, but I love the creatures and races and cultures of Roshar for the extreme creativity and complexity of the planet that is so confusing I would need a Coppermind to store it all in. What’s yours?

What do you think nathis looks like in the cognitive realm? There might be a confirmation on what it looks like, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t.

Could you absorb the investiture as it is coming through the metal?

Could Nicrosil store stuff like the amount of metals in your body?

Hadn’t thought of that. It would probably be overpowered if it did absorb everything to be honest.

Yessssssssss!!!!!

Ok. Huh. So it stores spiderweb investure, not investure in general. Okay.

From what I have heard, anyone can awaken if they get breath. I’m pretty sure only people from nathis is old news.

But it could also store stormlight and breath right?

So if you alloyed Edglium with lerasium what would happen?

The reason is that you can spike a feruchemist with the spike to be a full feruchemist.

Sooooo it doesn’t store investure then? Or does it do two thingys?

So what the heck even is a Nicrosil mind?! It stores inbesture, but the only form of investure in scaldrial is allomancy, sooooooooooo...... ive heard it explained that this stores the ability to use your abilities, but that would just disable you from retrieving the ability to use your abilitiy to retrieve the stuff from the metalmind. half of the topics I have created is to try to find the purpose of Nicrosil minds, but the general answer is “i dunno” but you guys seem tah know.

Oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh!A million thanks! You’re the best! My brain cells understand now!

I like those ideas! They all seem cool! Thanks!
