Unfortunatelly, type of Gem is not directly dependent on type Blades Order - Oathbringer is Stoneward Blade so should have Topaz as Gem, but has Heliodor.

A-Aluminum can be useful during trips to places when raw kinetic Investiture can be used against someone. It can remove Investiture from body - this mean reverting Shade touches or protection against Surges or agressive Aons. Im curious if burning Aluminum can prevent from stealing power with Hemalurgic spike (of course, spiked person will be dead anyway, but Hemalirgist will gain nothing) Im also courious how Genetics will develop on Scadrial. Would be possible to create artificialy Metalborns? Use in-vitro technology and breed genetically engineered allomancers and feruchemisits? Probably this is question more for Era 4 than 3, but stil....

Point is, someone dont have to fit very good into Order to be in it. I doubht that all Bridgemen are as good candidates for Windrunners as Kal. Example - Lopen. He will be very good Edgedancer. Its not about who he is now, but who he could become. Adolin can be Edgedancer (as good as he can be Windrunner, Skybreaker, Stoneward or Willshaper) not because he fits perfectly, but because for his Balde - Maya, he can grow to be this Radiant. He not atract spren, he intentionaly BECOMES match for his Blade. Journey before destination.

Probably just cuts like normal matter - awakening not "add" soul to the object, not normal awakening. Of course, more Breaths awakened object will have, harder will be for Shardblade cut this - to the point of complet resistance.

You konw, I was sure about it, I dont knoow why, because now I cannot find it Yeah, I thought about it too, but this contradicts my theory, because it assumes Dai-Gonarthis influencing Urithiru, and this city is as far from coast as is possible. So is one or other. Also, Unmade are not related very closly to related gods. Nergaoul share similarities with Nergal (god of sun-fire and war) but Ashertmarn is not very similar to Asherah (godess of coast and sea). Moelach also isnt very similar to Moloch. But its possible that Dai-Gonarthis indeed lives in Sea, but on "other side" - in Shadesmar, he is buried under glass beads and is influencing people from there. Imagine this creepy look - blue-violet mist-tentacles emerging from between beads and entwining flames of human minds

Its Shadesmar. Placement depends on how people in Physical Realm sees that. So this is why between Planets are reflected as plains surrounded by mountains - mountains reflects unacessable terrain. Distance in Physical Realm doesnt matter - people sees planets as independent areas, and is impossible (to most) to leave planet, so if other Planet is in the same System, or on other edge of Cosmere, it doesnt matter - is hard to reach equaly. Of course, distance in Shadesmar is relative, because places when nothing living existad also doesnt existed in CR, so I think is equaly hard in Shadesmar reach Ashyn or Scadrial.

@hoiditthroughthegrapevine Tukar seems to be good candidate, Conflict there was burning many years. Its also not very far from Aimia (Is litealy extension of Archipelago!). Question is, doesnt Ishar recognise touch of the Unmade? Or is he so mad, that he cant look into himself and think: "This emotions shouldnt be as strong" Also, Tukari soldiers are described by Navani as "Crazy" - probably very zeelous. Conflict isnt as destructive as drived by Thrill, but is long-burning. Like something subtly fueled.

THIS WILL BE EPIC!!! I have additiona theory about Szeth, mean: Szeth reach fourth Ideal of Skybreakers and atract many fellow Skybreakers causing Order to split.

One by one. 1. Gaseous Investiture has form of mists in Physical Realm. Not only Preservations, other Shards too, but with different colors. Preservations is white/silver Honors is lightblue (stormlight) Cultivations is green Ruins is black Odiums is red/violet (he makes it sometimes gold, but in "true"color is dark violet) Harmonys is grey 2. Unmade are Splinters of Odium. Like Stormfather is Splinter of Honor. Yes, it was only one Bondsmith in time of Recreance, but Unmade was known earlier. For example, when before Recreance Sibling abandoned Urithiru, one Lightweaver was woried about protection against Unmade. So Siblings one function in Urithiru was protecting from Unmade influence. We also see in Dalinars Vision in village Radiants fighting against Midnight Essence - what is born from Re-Sephir, one of the Unmade. Radiant is proposing Dalinar that he can try join Radiants in Urithiru - this is much earlier before Recreance, and Urithiru is funcional.

Of course it exists, in other case why Feruchemists are wearing big bracelets? If metalmind was unlimited it will be enough to wear two small earings, and this will be enough. Or swallow one little piece of metal and charge it. And if I remember correctly, when Sazed came to rescue Vin, he swallow few his Metalminds and say directly, that he now have relativly small charge, compare to his normal bracelets. But return to topic. Atium stores age. To be young, every second you taping atiummind, you need to tap more and more. Allomancy can work only in limited speed. So someone who compound Atium will need more and more youth, and in some point will need more than he is able to create via compounding, even if he will be flaring Atiumminds constantly.

Wax Steel Bubble is clearly skill. We see other Coinshot able to do this as well. In Era 1 it was no need for such skill, but now, in fight, without this even Coinshot can be hit by bullet, so they learn to make protective field. Because of Waxes ability to manipulate mass, his Bubble will be better than normal, but its just it.

Practicly, he was. He was given a chance. By Dalinar on Thaylen Fields. Even in that point it wasnt too late for him. Sandersons books have very christian spirit, and part of this is, is never too late for redemtion. Moash can be good for this. Or be good for showing that redemption depends mostly on ourselfs.

I think tapping.

I saw somewhere here theory that Glys was deadeye - was broken by Recreance. Ad this leaves him vulnerable.

I think "Rythm of War" is one of the Parshendi ancient songs.

Funny, in one historical Asyrian Poem in Underwold gods who are judging the Dead are Dagon (god of Sea and/or crops), Nergal (god of war and fire) and Misharu (god od justice).

Its few answers to that, all equaly possible. 1. Is rather easy to detect emotional pushings/pullings, just normal people with proper training are able to do so, if they know what how. Radiants may grow overconfidence in all those years and stops looking into themselfs. 2. Radiants were too familiar with Siblings Protection so they grow careless. 3. Its enough to influence just few people in place where conflicts allready existed. 4. Dai-Gonarthis may not be active long time (like today) so Radiants stops worry about him. I think also Dai-Gonarthis can influence people in various degrees, and is also atracted by conflicts and quarrels. May not be as inteligent as Sia-Anat or Ba-Ado-Mishram, but his primary ability is being undetected. Is stealthy, cunning Unmade. I very like assumption that he was atracted by Davar Family. Can be. Siah Aimians seems to be very good target for mental manipulation, because they are partialy Cognitive Entities, naturaly Invested, so maybe they are somehow similar to hemalurgic constructs? Also, maybe remnant of this action is why humans are afraid of Siah.

So, we know about many Unmade powers 1. Moelach can give limited futursight, its speculated that is able to pull informations from dying. 2. Nergaoul - battle rage. 3. Sia-Anat - can change Spren. 4. Ashertmarn - gluttony 5. Re-Sephir - mimcry 6. Ba-Ado-Mishram - comanding forces and creating Connection 7. Yelig-Nar - can bond with human, granting him all 10 Surges But we dont know about powers of 2 Unmade, and one is complet mistery. We only have misterious Death Rattle about Dai-Gonartis taking away pain - what is really wierd, because this is also what Odium himself offers people. So: Dai-Gonarthis is able to manipulate emotions of people (like Allomancy) and seed mistrust. Why I think this? So, what we know about Dai-Gonarthis. We know practicly 2 things: 1. He was somehow involve in Scouring of Aimia 2. He can "take someones pain" Now we can put together this knowledge and Moashes appearence in Ch8. Moash is emotionless, he gave away his pain... and other emotions as well. Is completly hollow. And is able to somehow push away Syl from Kal, what is very similar what happend to Stormfather when Odium speaks with Dalinar. But I dont think that Odium is here, with Moash, this is not how he works - but Unmade can be here. Unmade with power to sooth someone emotions (Moash) and riot emotions in someone else (Kaladin). Kal was overwhelmed with Moashes words, much more that is "normal" even with his depresion. Of course, this can be because Moash is his friend and he sworn to protect him... or maybe Vyre now has additional shadow what follows him - Unmade. Also, many see this conversation as Moash trying to convince Kal to suicide - but i saw this as Moash trying to "DarthVader" Kal - by giving pain to Odium. If Dai-Gonarthis is on place, with Moash, can "take pain" immediately. In other case this need time to form Connection with Odium (like Dalinar or Moash). Another part of theory is binded with Urithiru history in gems. In this place i want to thank @hoiditthroughthegrapevine, who collected all gem-archives in his topic about Ba-Ado-Mishram. Without this, probably i wasnt able to create this theory. We know that Sibling withdraw from Urithiru, we dont know why. But we know that one effect of this was falling Protection against Unmade influence. Drawer 3-11: Garnet (Lightweaver) CH 73 But witch one Unmade? Moelach, Nergaoul, Ashertmarn are easy to recognise and rather easy to avoid - they are mindless, so they are atracted by certain things like other spren. Yelig-Nar also is easy, he need host to have full potential. Radiants know where Ba-Ado-Mishram is, Re-Sephir is tricky, but is possible to imprisoned her (maybe even she is improsoned, we dont know when this happend), and she is rather simple in action. Chemoarish was not seen 2000 years, even is not known what she is able to. This lives us two possibilities: - Sia-Anat - of course dangerous, can change Spren, what can be very bad for Radiants. Maybe even she was there. - Dai-Gonarthis Its few times mention how Radiant are divided. How Orders dont trust each other anymore and argue all the time, especially Windrunners and Skybreakers. And this can be influence of Unmade - little touch rioting emotions. Radiants fear Sia-Anat, but another Unmade influence them subtly, with very big effect. Probably normaly Bondsmiths were able to counter Dai-Gonarthis rather easly, but now is only one Bondsmith, and divisions between Orders is too big even without Unmade Influence. And now we go to Aimia. We know that Dai-Gonarthis somehow influence Scouring. We also know from "Dawnshard" Prologue, that Scouring wasnt one event, it were series of wars. Probably civil wars on Islands. So is easy to understand how destroy land the easiest - influence powerfull people to chalange each other. Dai-Gonartis was influencing nobles, riots internal conflicts, what in place with 3 races probably existed, and this cause the destruction of Archipelago, especially when both sides used Soulcasters on massive scale So we have it. I still dont know how to connect this with Dai-Gonarthis precursor, Semic God of Sea Dagon and with his other name, Black Fisher. But maybe i will, with your help. What do you think?

Highstorm isnt "full" Perpendicularity. Cannot be used for travel between realms, can "only" provide Investiture. Everstorm is something similar, and probably cannot be used as normal perpendicularity either. I bet that Odium has Perpendicularity on Braize.

Its possible that this is depending on Konwledge of Leecher. Allomancy is easy to detect and easy to target, but Feruchmy: 1 has other characteristic (is not "crude" external power, its internal mostly) 2 has to be targeted in specific moment 3 can give access to power practicly in unlimited amount while Leecheing can work only with limited speed.

You konw, Red and Violet are on oposite sides od Spectrum. They are oposites. Very much like white (all emited) and black (all absorbed). So basicly they can be White and Red... turned to suck (absorb) emotions. So are seing as dark and Violet.

Problem is, Ba-Ado-Misharm was KNOWN to Radiants before False Desolation. Sia-Anat was consider more dangerous, but Ba-Ado-Mishram was known. And Voidlight is from Odium, no Question: We konw how Cultivationlight looks like, so this lives us Odium.

Its simple. To store all your ability to store, you need to be Nicrosil compounder. We know that it works with Gold Compounders - if someone get spiked and steal his feruchemical powers, he still can heal himself, by burning his metalminds allomanticly (if he has any of course) and restore F-Gold. So Nicrosil Compounder will be able to gain additional Innate Investiture to store, store it with full power, and still will have this power. So its possible that to create unsealed metalminds with one power, someone need to have not 3, but 4 powers - needet power, F-Nicrosil, F-Aluminum and A-Nicrosil.

We even have emtities on Roshar with similar properties. Entities literaly made from stone. Yep, thunderclasts. We know that tis is some powerfull voidspren, some speculate that this can be one Order od Fused, but this seems to be unlikely. But maybe it can be posiible to bond Cognitive Shadow with Statue?

Yep, this scene is in fact very similar to scene when Dalinar stood against Odium in Thaylen. Especially, Radiants Spren behavior - both Syl and Stormfather are "pushed away" from their Radiants. But I dont think Odium is there himself, I vote for Unmade - and i would be very, very happy if this is Dai-Gonarthis. If we learn more about its powers, we can understand better what happend in Aimia.
