metal get in my tummy

In Oathbringer we get the phrase 'We killed you!' after 'I am Unity'.

Both the words 'killed' and 'you' suggest a far more humanoid sentient consciousness, if not actually human or any other sentient Cosmere species.

 

Hmm, what if Unity is a translation of Adonalsium and they mean the same thing? And maybe Adonalsium was speaking through Dalinar, which freaked Rayse out, because it's supposed to be dead.

Do we know Dalinar is not holding a Dawnshard now?  He experiences the warm glow that Rysn also describes at Urithiru when he is looking back on his childhood.  In addition, something (not the Stormfather) is yelling in his head to "unite them" right before he opens the Perpendicularity.  Lastly, there is a recent WoB that we have seen another Dawnshard on screen.  There aren't a lot of choices for that individual, and Dalinar fits the bill.

Maybe the voice Dalinar hears is somehow the voice of Adonalsium itself? As far as I know Dalinar doesn't know about Adonalsium so this could just be how he interprets it? Has anyone asked Brandon if Adonalsium is a Yolish word that's been adopted for use offworld? I think this could be a little misdirection from Brandon to get us to think Rayse is talking about Honor as of course Honor is the one telling Dalinar to unite them in the visions.

But might it really be Big A itself?

Hey there! As far as I'm aware, every Shard has a Godmetal, tone, light etc. Godmetal is solid manifestation of investiture and Light/Breath is gaseous. They all follow the same formula but the Shard does have some limited control over how their investiture manifests and behaves and this is also influenced by the planet. There are tones on Scadrial too - Seekers can sense them (those pulses than Vin from the Well, and Brandon has said that Seekers would feel the Tones on Roshar).

“But you need us!” Suit said. “To rule, to manage civilization on—”

“No longer. Recent advances have made civilization here too dangerous. Allowing it to continue risks further advances we cannot control, and so we have decided to remove life on this sphere instead. Thank you for your service; it has been accepted. You will be allowed to serve in another Realm.”

Where is this from? Who is saying this?

Too expansive by current Scadrial standards

I don't think anyone that has access to hemalurgy is strapped for cash. Plus it's only for storage, it can be reused.

Edit: Wait, I guess you cant reuse it if you eat it. You make a fair point

Put spike in a box and pour molten aluminium over it. Smash open when you want to retrieve. Then eat the aluminium scraps. Gotta get that iron in

It actually seems conventional nuclear processes (conventional nuclear?) would be more efficient than Investiture annihilation, especially considering the opportunity cost lost by destroying so much Investiture.

Anti-Investiture seems to not be as easy/efficient, though, considering a gemful only destroys the contents of a room, and when it's not as pressurized it doesn't even explode at all and just burns some stuff. (Well, either it's less efficient or Investiture is far less energy-dense, but either way the end result is it's far weaker.)

Okay but think about it like this. At some point they will find a way to convert gaseous investiture (Light) into solid (Metal). That would pack a lot more punch. Since anti-investiture doesn't actually interact destructively with matter, I was thinking this for a device:

Two large sheets of metal investiture and metal anti-investiture separated by a highly pressurised gas/liquid so that they do not touch. The sheets should be as thin as possible to maximise surface area of contact, because upon contact anything not too close by would be knocked away by the explosion and would not actually get a chance to annihilate. When ready for boom, depressurise chamber, metals touch, kapow. Make these sheets several hundreds of metres wide and you're basically shooting a giant frisbee of doom at whichever unfortunate civilisation has insulted your horse.

Edit: Actually, you could easily layer this several times over so it wouldn't need to be so long. You could make into any giant <insert your favourite 3D shape> of doom.

• Investiture annihilation results in Energy.
  • Explosions are created when this Energy is contained in a vessel smaller than required to hold the Energy (as in a gem).

Anti-matter bombs confirmed. We are going to see planets crack in space age Cosmere. I am so ready.

Sh-, just reread that scene. Yup, he's missing his metalminds. Mraize might indeed have performed Hemalurgy there.

Also he was apparently changing his eye colour via some magic.

What chapter is this? I need to see this

I was thinking it works in a similar fashion to a cognitive shadow controlling a vessel. Since spren are just investiture, they should theoretically be indistinguishable from cognitive shadows. As we see with Radiant healing, a person's view of themselves alters the way they appear (e.g Kaladin's brand, Reshi king transformation). We also know from the BoM Kelsier memory that his new body bore his old scars. So my suspicion is this: Ishar forces spren into vessels (humans) and then they start to take the shape of the spren, however it's pretty hard for a human skull to morph into a cryptic one, so the most successful attempts are with those resembling humans the most (honorspren) as the change isn't too drastic.

Ok, two things above all else makes me doubt these kinds of theories,

1. It HAS to be a WILLING champion, a child can't do that.
2. It is a battle to the death, something the child can't win, at most it's a tie which frees Odium from the terms, but not a loss.

Well... Odium can say: "Hey little Gavinor, be my champion and I will let you kill the man who murdered your father." I think that would convince a child who doesn't understand the stakes of this contest.

Yeah, I think that if Adonalsium had a godmetal and it's something we know about, it's dragonsteel. Other godmetals are the result of Investiture condensing into solid form while aluminum is naturally occurring via stellar fusion, so it would be very odd for the latter to number among the former. Also as mentioned it's possible to soulcast things into aluminum. We know that it is extremely hard to create godmetals via soulcasting, to the point that proximity to Honor's Perpendicularity (which functioned as a huge surge of accessible Investiture) would not be enough. If that much power can't enable you to soulcast a godmetal, there's no way aluminum could be soulcast if it were a godmetal itself.

No no no I have figured this out. Think about it... LerasIUM,, RaysIUM, AtIUM, HarmonIUM…  AdonalsIUM!!! Adonalsium is therefore clearly a block of metal from which all investitures comes. Cosmere solved. Brain so big I need a neck brace.

If you been listening to 17th shard podcast you know that Scadrial and roshar are going to war.  Who has your support and what do you think the war is over.

Can someone elaborate on this? Or at least tell me which episodes of Shardcast I should watch?
