I think Sja Anat at some point says that mistspren are just more willing to be “Enlightened.” Besides, they get to choose whether they become corrupted or not. Mistspren are just more willing to accept her propositions.

I think Autonomy has to be involved. Odium says “we killed you” in Oathbringer. We know he was somewhat friendly with Autonomy. He had to have some help, because he had trouble with the power.

Nightblood doesn’t destroy investiture: it leaks it out in the form of the black smoke. Brandon has said in a WOB that Endowement had specific involvement in Nightblood’s creation. What Brandon means with Ruins investiture involved is that matter, being created by Adonalsium, technically has investiture from all 16 shards.

The investiture is still Connected to the Shard in the vacuum: it’s literally a piece of the Shard. The pure tones are a physical sound, and sound moves through matter, it can’t move through a vacuum. Anti-investiture isn’t changed so that it doesn’t belong to the original Shard, it is just applied with a different tone.

The Honorblades give the powers of Radiants without the checks that oaths require. This is why Szeth was able to do so many dishonorable things with the Windrunner blade.

That is really interesting. How long ago do we think this happened? Was it before the Everstorm came, or was it earlier?

I don’t think that would be possible. Lift can’t use Stormlight, and other Radiants can’t use Lifelight. God metals have Allomantic effect as a result of the way Allomancy works, taking matter and converting it into Investiture. Surgebinding is meant to have a limited number of effects. The effects just depend on what spren you bond.

Progression isn’t necessarily “Cultivation’s truest surge.” The suppressor specifically suppresses Stormlight. Lift uses Lifelight. That is why she is awake. The Fused have the ability of Progression. Raboniel talks about Adhesion as if it is something that Honor completely made up.

I think that if you were under the effects of such a fabrial, you would use more Stormlight in the process. Kind of like duralumin. Also, the metal cage would probably be duralumin. Edit: I actually think it’s nicrosil now, that would make more sense.

I don’t think you would be able to take Breath without consent. Stormlight is designed to be moving, changing, always needing to be used. Breath, however, is keyed to your Identity. That is also why a Larkin presumably can’t steal Breath. Besides, Navani never uses the tones for anything but moving Investiture between gemstones, not people.

Well, Lerasium is a metal from Preservation, the Shard that created the Metallic Arts. He specifically designed Lerasium in such a way that it would fit with anybody to turn them into a mistborn. Besides, Atium does something in Allomancy that isn’t giving them Hemalurgic abilities, thought I’m not sure how that would work.

Could a combination of Investiture and Anti-Investiture, with a little bit of fabrial manipulation, be combined into a missile? Like, potentially with a Shard-rocket-launcher?

The radiant loads a gun with a little box. Perhaps it converts Investiture (Stormlight) into a solid form?

The space whales will show up and try to enslave humanity. I’m sure of it. Edit: I actually think the Sixth of the Dusk 2 reading shows that we will end up in a 3 faction interplanetary war: Scadrial vs Roshar vs other planets (potentially Nalthis and Taldain) There won’t really be a BBEG.

Well, we know that the pure tones affect the investiture. When the mists start returning, that is when the pulses start getting very loud for Vin.

Brandon has confirmed in a WOB that the pulses from the Well of Ascension are a "pure tone of Scadrial"

Thanks, that makes sense.

I think it’s just the way the society/planet/ magic system developed. Like how Scadrial has 16, Roshar 10, supposedly the planet for Aether of Night is 12.

I have quite a few people (not in the fan base) that I could recommend for this club

Why must they always do this to Argent now? Show and tell was one of my favorite parts of the podcasts he was on!

Just like them, when I watched it, I thought my mind was literally hallucinating.

Exactly what I thought.

Doesn’t seem like it. Because, if you have just one aon that uses anti-light, it doesn’t make sense.
