Medicine is actually very advanced on Roshar, probably due constant wars. And because of agglutinantion, you dont need to know about antibodys and complements, you just need to observe blood reaction between each other, what is actually relatvly easy to do, there are only 4 blood types after all.
-
Ok, Gas, Biogas, whatever, simply forget how in English is called "Silnik spalinowy". Disagree. You can Soulcast only if you know what you want Soulcast, so you are stuck with metals (and literaly anything) you know. What mean you simply cant find new compositions, alloys or even elements, important for further advancment.

It was stated many times that shoting Coinshot is poitless, because they can just Push incoming bullets int shoter. And Steelbubble is not usless in this case, because allows you to do other things (like aiming) and not being constantly focused just on incoming bullets. Nope, he gave them only what he have in his metalminds. It was a lot, but definitly not everything they have now. It was just the foundation of advancement. For example, it was just idea of steam engine (Khlenni were not far from it), but now they have trains and ships, and gas engines. Im not saying Roshar is not advancing. No, Roshar is advancig very fast, but still there are basic fields where they lack a lot, and this is stoping them. Like metalurgy for example.
-
This was about Radiants, not Allomancers. Wax multiple times react to bullets. Scadrial is advancig faster, than most of us give them credit to. They went from Final Empire state of early medieval (with some twists) to disel engines and elecricity in 300 years, and this is still not as fast as they could, if they would have proper impulse - like rival civilzation. Or war. Roshar, yes , is advancing very fast, but only in specific fields. Also flying ship is basicly the same technology as spanreeds, and this mean it took few dozens years to reach this level (from the first spanreed to Bridge Four) and also one Herdazian.

Lost Metal Chapter 2 Spoilers: The what medallion?
Bzhydack replied to Elsecaller_17.5's topic in Mistborn
Yeah, but is clearly and directly stated that this medalion is silver. Not copper, not nicrosil, not duralumin. Wax made a very clear efford that medalion will be noticed by Malwian Ambassador. So this is message primarly to her, like "remember im on your side here". So I think this medalion is something from South. But dont need to be magical medalion. After all, nothing forces Southerners to make their Medalions as, well, medalions, and not braclets, chains, or even collars.So maybe medalions have cultural meaning for Southerners (equaly to masks) and they give one cultural, traditional one to Wax. -
Or maybe simply speed isnt large enough to burn Feruchemist yet. I know we have some physicists on the forum, can some of them run the math? I dont remember who they were, @therunner if im not mistaken? So we can similar view on that matter. Probably it would not destroy Spren, but certainly would be unpleasent. Yeah, but still nothing is wierd in her Feruchemical abilities
-
This probably. From practical perspective, we know that Southerners dont have many Metalborn, so it need to be possible for them to make many medalions for every Metalborn.

Is mot about moving guns. Is about mechanical delay in fireing mechanism. From normal perspective this have small meaning, but from super-speed perspective... She have, yes, but not in this terms. This magic is strange only because of hiding her from Harmony, but in terms of physical function this is still Allomancy/Feruchemy. You missed two most important WoBs Form first we can assume that some effect on Spren A-Chromium should have, even if would not be able to destroy him/her. More interesting is second one. Should work also on Living Shardblades, so if A-Chromium wouold be able to hurt Spren and force to turn back into standard form, Radiant may not be able to summon him again. Of course, we dont really have knowledge about this, but this is something similar what happened in Tower. Nicrosil Compounding can help with that. Also, constant Gold Compounding should have also effect here (it works by reverting you to Spiritual Ideal, and Ideal for body isnt being fire ;-) can also heal Shardblade Wounds) But Feruchemy protects user from negative effects of using those powers. Marasi tapped everything, yes, but that was after she uses speed first time. First, in tent, she just tapped steel, and moved with supersonic.
-
Fullborn has yet another ace. A-Chromium. He probably would not be able to destroy Spren, but maybe can hurt Spren, maybe damage Plate, and also can burn away Radiant's Stormlight Reserve. Paalm was able to run so fast that she shot four bullets from four places, but they were heared as one (what also means F-steel is affecting your equipment too, because weapon had to have speeded up trigger and hammer)
-
Its possible, but if I remember correctly needs something additional to normal Twinborn powers. It was WoB about this... Wierd to me why noone mentioned Tin. Where is Tin Church? @Koloss17?
-
Are we talking about Compounding or not? We are talking about our level of technology or earlier period? If yes, Double Steel all the way, everytime, always. If not, im not sure. For Allomancy Bendalloy seems to be nice, but is expensive and hard to get. Maybe endeed Pewter would be good, but I think in normal life Zinc or Brass would be even better. For Feruchemy Iron, Gold, Chromium, or Duralumin seems to be the best. So I think 2 combinations: A-Pewter F-Iron A-Brass F-Duralumin BTW, there was somewhere on Forum thread identical to this. Or even few.
-
4. It was Kaladin's Plate, so was charged by Kaladin in Highstorm, so was running on Kaladin's Stormlight. I think Shardplate can hold some Stormlight. It glows on joints so should at least have a little in gasous form.
-
So, we are going to see psychological clinic for Cognitive Shadows? Taln, Shalash, Ishar, Vasher, maybe Kelsier...
-
Question is, how much he allready told Vivienna. She has Awakened Sword, after all, Shardblade of not Rosharan origin.
-
Interesting to me is that was a timejump, 6 years. What happened in this time? Set withdrawn from daylight and hide? What about contacts with Southerners? And awww, Wax and Steris have kids!
-
Why you constantly sais "He will be crushed"? Soulcasting is not conversion atom to atom. Is conversion mass to mass (with some oddities, like preserving shape). So to build the amount of osmium, he would need to physicaly suck air from around - to have 6 m^3 of osmium (brick of 2x2x2 m with space inside) is needet to have 112500 m^3 of air - it is whole soccer stadion (with stands) and even then, it would not compress space inside untill gravity make all that fall. Maybe it will take less, because of mentioned earlier oddities, but still you need A LOT. And Fullborn still can simply Push all this away from him, with help of F-Iron.
-
Shashara was the one who Awakened Nightblood, and she is long dead, so...
-
F-Zinc is also very usefull. It makes basicly the same as speed bubble, but for your thoughts. Wax was able to analyse all possible outcomes of his predicted actions, in split second between two words of his uncle. Dont underestimate that. This also come with knowledge, we as humans are very good in dividing things into parts. There always is part with not-matching colour, or thickness, or literaly anything what doesnt match with rest. Thats very good question, but I think yes - because you not expanding bubnle from himself throu air, more like you isolate part of reality around you and slowing/speeding Connection of this part of reality with Spiritual Realm, and this causes time to shift. Basicly youre doing time dilatation, but without great speed or mass. Probably thats fair. But if Fullborn knows someone is fighting against them, probably would have also vast reserves of metal. Other story is, of course, atepmpt of assasination.
-
Not with F-Zinc and F-Steel. Both Kelsier and Wax as able to Push different part of the same object. Is not matter of power or Stillsight, its matter of skill. Should take more, because you need to pierce realmatic barier. And even not, is still physical limitation how much Elscaller can take with him. Again, F-Zinc and A-Bendalloy. Remeber how Wayne summoned Bubble to rethink how to dodge explosion? And not even mentioned A-Bronze to feel forreign Investiture, and F-Chromium for sense of danger... F-Chromium gives you instinctive futuresight, with enough amount shoud allow to See throu Realms, what can be easily done with A-Duralumin. A-Electrum can show you how you die, and dodge, also with help of A-Duralumin, F-Zinc can help you process information fast enough. And why Elsecaller would have so much Stormlight to Soulcast few tons of Osmium? Also, if we talking about Era 4 setings, F-Cadmium is one of the most usefull things. Not if you are seing how is make from multiple particles. But this is simple physics, if we are able to Push on the Sphere from inside in every direction with enough strengh, it would burst like baloon. Really, Frustration, we have this conversation before. You often forget about vast arsenal of Fullborn, only remember of those most obvious ones.

If something can be done on small scale, can be also done on larger, if there is enough Windrunners. But while theorticaly possible, Windrunners still needs to be on th frontline, probably separated and divided into small groups. Much more practical solution would be took bunch of Willshapers and just shape stone into Stormshelter for entire army.
-
First, Soulcasting isnt immediet. It takes time, short but noticable, to Soulcast larger amounts of matter. So Fulkborn with Allomantic Bronze would be able to sense this and react fast enough to dodge or strice back by Pulling. When Jasnah Soulcasted wall, is even mentioned that air needs to be sucked in proximity of this wall - what mean it was soulcasted rather part by part, not all at once, probably also because of much lesser density of air than metal. Second, Pushing in all directions with being much denser than metal would simply rip out this metal ball, because I dont thint Elscaller would have enough Stormlight in the Cognitive to Soulcast throu Realms on and on. Soulcasting is simply too energy consuming. Third, he has A-Bendaloy, he can use it to shift times of Soulcasting in two places, so with Metal in one place and air in other he can escape. Fourth, he can see throu Reams too thanks to F-Chromium, F-Zinc, A-Electrum and A-Duralumin. Not even mentioned Atium (Elend was able to see Kelsier in Cognitive). Khof, khoff, Compounded Cadmium, Khof khof Compounded Gold.

More even. What it is Odium eho tricked Gavilar to start experimenting with Connections and to shortcicuit Oathpact? Maybe he knows already, or was able to figure this out, how to do this, but needet someone on Rosharan Side to start? We assume Gavilar was under influence of Unmade, but maybe it was Odium himself? And maybe they strook a deal - Gavilar kicked reaserch witch started messing with Connection and shortcircuit Oathpact, and Odium would give him immortality? This starts to be terryfiengly plausible.
-
All windrunners are able to make "Windshield" - shield themselves from wind during flight. This is basicly this ability, just on smaller scale.
-
Any metal-based attack agains Fullborn is pointless, he can be in gravitational sense (not atomic sense) much more dense than even Osmium thanks to Feruchemical Iron, and with this he can just Pull all this in all directions. Allomantic Bronze seems to be much more precise and sensible than anything on Roshar. Remeber, Allomancy is using relativly small amounts of Investiture compare to Rosharan Surges. And Vin was (of course she is stronger than normal due to hemalurgic spike) able to sense particular emotions soothed by Breeze, and even strengh of this, and Allomantic Brass needs even less power than other metals. Alendi was also able to hear Rythm of Preservation from miles away. So I dont think even Lightweaving would be subtle enough to hide from experienced Seeker.

theory Ba-Ado-Mishram Bondsmith Spren Theory
Bzhydack replied to Bzhydack's topic in Cosmere Discussion
So maybe we can switch meanings, and Nah would be Bond (Connection? Link?) and El would be Divine. So El would be something around "Godlike" - what actualy make sense, because we were told that Bondsmith have powers of god. Or maybe Nah is like "Part" or "Piece" - so Nahel Bond could be translated to "Bond with Piece of God" - what is basicly description of it. But all those are me just throwing random ideas. Also, one, rather not very connected thing. Vasher has on Roshar name Zahel. Or Zah-El maybe? If El mean God/Divine, this make sense, because Returned were considered gods... But what can Zah mean?
