Aluminum on Roshar is still very, very Rare, even with Soulcasters - this mean is probably dificoult to make. And on Scadrial weve seen literaly whole rail wagon full of aluminum. Its dozens of tons. Scadrial now can make aluminum faster and chaper than Roshar. And all they need to kill Radiant (of any order) is heavy machinegun with Aluminum ammo. They allready have those (ok, they have Gatlings, but in our world Maxim made his machinegun just 20 years later). Weve seen feruchemical ability (f-iron) charged into Ettmetal, so machine can operate it. Yyyyy... -
Eeeee... No. Metal is metal. Right, is everywhere, and metalborn can harvest it everywhere. But this is still the same Allomancy without hacking - powered by Preservation, anywhere Allomancer happened to be. But This what you talking about is fuel Allomancy not by Preservation, but Honor instead. Noone without Connection to Honor can breath Stormlight (Vasher eats Stormlight to feed his Divine Breath, but he cannot use it to fuel any magic, no matter from Endowment or Honor). Maybe Duralumin Compounder would be able to do something with this, but not other Metalborn. Yep, and is possible to steal Nahel Bond with Hemalurgic Spike, and it works normaly - so Oaths are needet, and breaking Oaths makes Spren Deadeye.
-
Matter made from Investiture is still matter. Is no longer Investiture. So it shouldnt work. Also, Anti-tones seems to work better if something is more Invested (Has larger Connection to the Shard) and Scadrians are not very Invested, even Allomancers arent. Probably yes, but I think spike need to be directly resonated. Should work on metalmind as well.
-
Yep, but it not mess with Metalminds, because they are keyd to your Identity, and every one of them has own Connection to you. Connection-manipulator will need dis-Connect every single one, one by one. And skilled Ferucheist can change Charges in the run.
-
But he dont need store/tap plain Connection. We know Duralumin Ferring can manipulate Connection to very specific people/places. Plain Connection is just the most basic usage of this. And, something people often forget, Connection has two directions. If something is Connected to you, you are Connected to this aswell. Any Connection manipulation directed against Duralumin Compounder can be easily counter.
-
As you wish: Brandon says clearly, it depends on Orders, what mean on True Spren.
-
Its not about what brings joy to Radiant, its about Connection between true and lesser Spren. You can see similarities in Honorspren and Windspren apearence, also Creationspren and Cryptics are similar in some way (constant changing shapes), Mistspren and Logicspren as well.
-
From Shards probably no, but there are other beings with magical detection. Seekers, detection fabrials on Roshar and Sel, Nalthian Lifesense, Odiums seeking Voidspren... Is plenty things what can detect you, and some of them are can be hostile. As member of cosmere-wide trade (criminal?) organisation he of course doesnt want to be detected by everybody.
-
I need remind you TLR can manipulate Connection too. Duralumin Compounding is probably less diverse than Bondsmith powers, but probably can be used as countermesure.
-
I think you misinterpret this. Yeah, any magic can be converted in any other. But in any case isnt that that easy like you first tell us. Only some magic systems can be fueled by any Investiture relativly easy. Allomancy isnt one of them. I exagarate a little earlier, because right, you can crack Allomancy and fuel with other Investiture. But... noone knows how to do this yet. Even Hoid. This isnt simple in this case. BTW, I think Radiant would benefit more from fueling Radiancy with Allomancy. The simplest magic system to use with any Investiture is Sand Mastery, I think.
-
Not any fuel. Only Preservation Investiture work. I dont know from you took this about "any fuel". Allomancer work only on Preservations Investiture, and only by burning metals. Every Scadrian is Connected to Preservation (and Ruin), but Allomancers are Connected more. Those WoBs are about this. You cannot fuel Allomancy with other Power than Preservations... But it seems you can power Feruchemy with other power, but still you need to figure out how: And about Metalborn being Invested:
-
To Live is probably most apropriate. I dont think simply items from other worlds wuold be enough to force Nale to murder. Kalak knows how to free Seon, so he has to encounter this type of foreign magic before. And Nale alone seems to be ok with Nightblood, The Most Dangerous Item in whole Cosmere.
-
This "something else" was most likely Cultivation. But this is very interesting (and relativly popular) theory - Gavilar becomes Cognitive Shadow, invested by Odium, and will come back to take back what he thinks is his. Being Cosmere-aware he can know how to do this.
-
Scadrial, of course. Its wierd, but in every fantasy I always like the most "technological" ones. Metalic Arts are awsome, and Hemalurgy is intriguing.
-
Blessings should resist Shardblade, more or less. Also, Invested metal has magical properties even molded and alloyed, so I thing cutting Blessing in half would not destroy it. But if part of body with Blessing will be killed, this Blessing should lose Connection to the Kandras soul, so Kandra should go mad.
-
And of course Stick. On witch Cosmere world you want to live?
-
Yes, is specific. You need to be Connected to particular Shard. Radiants cannot breath Voidlight. Even Renarin. Lift cannot breath Stormlight. Hemalurgists cannot use Mists. And Vasher can feed on Stormlight (he has to learn this) still cannot Awaken with it. We know Returned can fuel his Body with any Investiture.
-
I think he misinterpret this - because Anti-Tone was used to remove Voidlight from Sibling Fabrial System and restore protection. This happen practicly in the same moment, so he thought it was the sound, witch hurts him, but Connection was repel by Tower Protection System.
-
Dont think so. Even very invested by Odium Moash was just barely hurt by Anti-Odium Tone. Fused and Regals practicly didnt feel it, when Sibling was vibrating with it. And we didnt see Light pull out from people. I think Anti-Preservation Tone would cause Scadrians just headache or nausea. Maybe more intensive for Metalborn.
-
No, you still need Connecton to particular Shard, unless you somehow solve this problem (what is very hard). And you need Focus of specific magic system. One more time, electicity analogy. You need matching plug and outlet, as well as matching voltage and amperage. So to use Investiture you are not Connected to, yoou need some sheninganings, but those are unknown yet. But some magic Systems are easier to crack than Others, for example, Aviars can be used by anyone, and SandMastery can be used with any free floating Investiture (we saw Sand charged by Stormlight), but is genetic as Allomancy/Feruchemy. And you still need Connection to the Shard what provides this powers. And those are Autonomy magic systems. Also, Hemalurgy can be used by anyone, anywhere, anytime, all you need is proper spike and Intent (but Hemalurgy probably feeds on victims Innate Investiture). But Allomancy, Feruchemy, Surgebinding, Awakening and, especialy, all Sel magic systems, need proper Conection to work.
-
Its not what happend. Anti-tone only hurts him and stops him, but he was able to recover relativly quickly. Anti-Rythm was used by Sibling to remove Voidlight from system, and this reset Tower Supressor Fabrials to normal function, and those fabrials cut off Moash from Odium and restore his feelings. I think Anti-Preservation Tone will have rather modest effects on normal Scadrians. Maybe on metalborn will be bigger. I think more someone is Connected to particular Shard, will be more sensitive for Anti-Tones.

Why weren't spanreeds used during battle in WoK?
Bzhydack replied to IAmAStik's topic in Stormlight Archive
Fights for gemhearts werent "normal" battles, they were more like raids - forces need to be quick and mobile. We know Alethi dont hesitate to take women and even children to war, and they used spanreeds before, even without scribes, just using on/off mode on reeds to comunicate via blinking code. So this isnt about war efford, this is about this specific warfare - taking scribes, women, anything what isnt soldiers slows down army. Alsothere are just few possible fight outcomes and there was no need to call for reinforcements practitcly always (I remind you, Highprinces usualy fought alone) and, due to spies, this type of message could be potentialy dangerous, because other Highprince could ambush them in the way. Also, Alethi pride. -
Champions have to meet on the top of Urithiru. Impossible for Reshi Island

Shash is shouting Adonalsium name, when she feels Jezriens death.

No. Metalborn can use his power anywhere, because they are genetic, but this mean he can burn metals/store in metals anywhere and draw power from Preservation anywhere. Not because they can just pick any Investiture. You need Connection to Shard to use its Investiture, in Scadrian and Roshar systems. Radiant need bond a Spren. Metalborn need to be born with it. There are tricks allowing You to convert one Investiture into another, but they are very limited in-world yet. For example, Vasher can feed on Stormight instead of Breaths, but he cant figure out, how to Awaken with Stormlight. Venli is able to use Voidlight and Stormlight only because she is RegalRadiant (connected to both Odium and Honor). Without Strong Connection to Honor you cannot breath Stormlight. But not Trellium spikes. This is whole point of Shadows of Self plot.
