See, what the WoB says is that if Sazed's power wasn't Harmony it could be considered Discord. To the best of my knowledge op's theory holds true, and you the evidence you've supplied can even support OP's theory. Sanderson said that the name 'Discord' is relevant, but he didn't say how it would be. Just because Harmony is resisting Trell does not mean that it couldn't be a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde situation on a cosmic scale.

This is an excellent explanation and almost exactly what I was going to say!

We all know that Nightblood is a heavily Invested object. I had the thought that it would be interesting if he was used as a Hemelurgic spike, but then I dismissed the thought due to the aforementioned Investment. However, he is sheathed in an aluminum sheath. I was just wondering if it was possible to use his sheath as an aluminum spike to rob someone of their powers. Aluminum "removes all powers" and I remember reading a WoB that says Hemelurgy doesn't always kill the subject. Iirc Hemelurgy also works anywhere in the cosmere so long as you have the knowledge of spike placement and the Intent. I admit I don't understand aluminum or its hemelurgical abilities very well. Thoughts? I hope this inspires some discussion! If there are any WoB you know to refute or support please share!

Hmm... That's honestly a very difficult question to answer! When I get asked I usually just say whichever was the last one I read. So... Oathbringer! I've been rereading the books during quarantine.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and just wanted to say hi to you all. I've been a longtime fan of Sanderson's works and I am glad to join this community! I may not be super active but I am glad to participate in discussions!
