But Raizium also have not very strong effect, and we don't know many other metale to compare - no Bavadinum, Koravelium, Edglium, Aonium or Skaium... Is possible that Lerasium is anomaly, not Atium. Also keep on mond that once used, Atium goes to Spiritual and regrowhs, but Lerasium is used permanently. Sorry, but wasnt that cadmium or bendalloy? Temporal for temporal?

There is also another difference between dead Shardblade and Honorblade. Very distinctive one. Honorblade is smaller than dead Shardblade, as we've seen in the case of Jezrien's blade. IT Has to be smaller, because Has to be practical as a weapon, while Shardblade whan alive, can change size and shape, so don't need to be "practical". Heck, I even think Spren wanted to be unpractical when they and Radiant decid break Bonds.

I feel otherwise. This device need to have constant Stormlight supply from Highstorm, and this to protect relativly Small Area. To protect whole Building (or ship) IT will take nearly Bondsmith-ish level of power. So scaling down will take much more efford, because gemstones have limited storage.

Of course Kelsier not reached Silverlight nor Yolen by hinself, because he is bounded to Scadrial and need to find how to escape. But maybe he indeed knows the way to those places. BTW. is possible Ghostbloods predates Kelsier - mean he just took over Ghostbloods, not found them.

Radiant was holding back very significantly. And Feruchemist with full metalminds is more dangerous than even Mistborn.

But this can be overcome by some special amunition. I feel like HEAT or HESH warheads should be VERY effective against Shardplate. Ammunition of this type was invented during WW2, but principle of operation, the Munroe Effect, was discovered in 1888.

I would not count Mraize as "Without powers", also even powerfull magic user can be take down by surprice (like Jasnah, or Lift). There is fun theory about it, in short - Gereth is Harmonny agent, but not the main one - his Aviar is main one, because it isnt really Aviar but Kandra. If he was Duralumin Ferring is possible he has stored Connections to many different things in many metalminds. Like Alik said, Connection always is to something, so specific Connection should be possible to store (like Specific sense, or specific memory). But yes, is something very suspicious about both Feruchemists. We know some Scadrians live off-world or in Shadesmar, Iyatil is descendent of Sothern Scadrians who lived off-world. So is very possible there are some Feruchemists outside Scadrial - before FE Terrisans have knowledge about Well of Ascenntion, maybe they knew also about Pits? They know about Atium after all.

Is not simply mixing magic. Enlightened Spren are not standars "mix" they have rather part of them "patched" to them. Or they simply not supose to have body and are corrupting stone. Also, they dont use Surges at all. And are not red in Spren Form. No way. Is clearly stated that Singers dont bond Radiant spren until now. And is also clearly stated they dont have Forms Of Power before Odium comes. Is not stated witch "Powers of Spren and Surges" were forbidden. Manipulation of Surges via Rythms/Songs can be covered by this statement as well, and we saw usage of the "safe" Surges - Progerssion and Cohesion. Is possible Stele talks about Transportation and Adhesion as Surges that are forbidden. Also if there were "Dangerous Powers", so were also "Safe Powers".

But he is the one who we know for sure has corrupted part of magic - Focus of Investiture. His spren is not from Odium, is from Cultivation and Corrupted by Odium. And is partialy Red. So Renarin uses Corrupted Investiture. Isnt this obvious? They are re-writing minds of Singers, taking their bodies. Im almost sure Fused dont have Red Eyes in their original Bodies, like Heralds dont have. Standard Forms are not exactly Magic System. Forms of Power are granting, nomen-omen, power. Standard Forms functions by amplifying Singer's physical abilities, Forms of Power are granting something extra - usage of Investiture - but are also taking more - changes mind more than standard form. I thik we saw original magic system - Manipulation of Surges with Rythms and free spren. This is original - convincing Spren to manifest power with proper Song. We saw this in use with Lifespren - this was clearly Surge of Progression, we saw also memory of Cohesion Surge (Stoneshaping)

I will remind you (all of you who everywhere see Corrupted Investiture and tell that cannot be Odium originally) taht A. Odium choses Red as his Color. B. Soulstamp influencing the Soul (or more like Mind) of person is generating red smoke - but Soulstamp IS NOT Corrupted Investiture. But is in fact corrupting soul (Mind?) in some way. So Red Eyes can mean permanently corrupted Soul/Mind/Sprak of life (what in fact is true in case of Fused!), not nesecerly mean Corrupted Investiture itself.

I had some similar thouths as well. Not about Flood, but about Contest of Champions. It was about fact that Contest will be in 10 days, and no way book will close in 10 Days. So will happen something what make Contest meaningless. Many people predicts Dalinar will lose. But winning Contest practicly dont give TOdium anything - he wnats to escape from Roshar System. Also, Raise stated clear that he cannot cancel Everstorm. Dont think he is lying, but this is part of his power and he can influence it and we saw this (He speed it up or hold in place). So I think Dalinar would win the Contest, because of this quote: But Contract doesnt tell anything about bringing down constatnt natural disaster BEFORE Contest and anywhere outside Urithiru. So is possible TOdium simply surrender Contest, but before this he amplifies Everstorm to the point it covers whole Rosharan Sky. Now he have levrage against humanity and technicly dont break contract - so Dalinar is forced to re-negotiate cotract, but TOdium is the one with ace.

Not exactly. Navani describes Kalak as older version of Steward. But yes, this is most likely. If anyone know about Hemalurgy on Roshar it would be Mraize. I think he gain Connection powers, because he was trying to bond Spren, and Aviar he has earlier so powers from Aviar are different. To change colour of eyes no magic is needet, Mraize seem to have lifesense, so he can have Breaths and who knows what can be achived with proper Command. F-Atium dont have much use for Mraize.

1. Shell doesnt tell you anything. Molluscs can have shells too, for example Nautilida - even looks lie Santhid: 2. Also, Spren can bond with other animals, not just Greatshells. 3. Simple Eyes have simmilar construction in many species.

For me, they seem to be more like Squids, than Greatshells.

Probably this would take something like 1000years or more, but maybe it is possible. Can someone ask Brandon about it?

Santhid?

Vasher told this about Roshar too. I think more possible is that Adonalsium created planets of Cosmere (except Scadrial, is post-shattering, and Yolen, probably pre-Ado). Well, Devotion and Dominion also have some type of Spren, and Endovment has something simmilar (one-and-only-artificial Spren, Nightblood), so I dnt see the reason why Preservation or Ruin couldnt have their own Spren. Also, when Trell comes to Scadrial, his(her?) Godmetal automaticly gets into Metalic Arts with hemalurgic properties. Probably if Preservation would go to Roshar, would develop Spren, and Mists would spread around.

This will give them possibility to channel Lightning certain way, heat air, make it much less dense and travel in channel of near-vacuum. Imagine this: Lightning srikes in place, everyone get blinded for the moment, and now squad of Skybreakers is standing there.

This. Weve even seen this, Spren get a bit more vital during and right after Highstorms. There is also possibility that Sand (or, being more specific, Sand Microbs) activly drain Investiture from envirnoment. And this would make them somewhat simmilar to Leecher.

You dnot need encast them fully. Also if we give him A-Gold spike he would become Golden Twinborn and he would not need blood, he would just heal himself constantly.

I think IT can be something about "minds to close to Cognitive". Singer need Spren to have form, but form affects also how Singer thinks. Basicly Singer Lacks some Cognitive part, so Spren in Gemheart provides this lacking part. This mean Spren need to donate part of itself for Singer - for mindless Spren this would not have big effect, but for True Spren this can be very dramatic.

Most of Honorspren were, but this isn't true for others. Highspren all probably were alive before Recreance, and many others, like Inkspren and maybe some Cryptics.

And Gavinor will belive him? Even 6 Years old boy is Smart enough to not trust someone who corrupted his mother and gives order to kill his father. He also knows his father was a HERO who was killed fighting against THIS EXACT ENEMY. Also, his now closest family is Adolin. He would not fight against his father. I don't see this without really twisted, complex and unbelivable manipulation. Gavinor even Cannot sign a contract, because he don't know how to write.

For sure not. Ishar Has troops in Shadesmar, and he hunts Sapient Spren. This mean he Opened Perpendicularity many times, before he even met Dalinar. I also think this is Honor's Perpendicularity. IT can be more than one Shard's Perpendicularity.

The biggest problem with this theory is: How TOdium would convince Gavinor to fight against his Uncle? Any emotion manipulation would be consider as breaking the contract. I Cannot see other possibility than offering Moash to kill and get revenge, but even then this is very unlikly. Gavinor loves his Uncle more than he hates Moash. RAYSE wanted Dalinar. And this don't need to be true for Taravangian. I think you underestimate him. If he would be fighting against someone he doesnt want to kill, he would figure this out. As Karger pointed out, content have no time limit.
