One thing I think is worth noting is it doesn’t really matter what he asked for. The nightwatcher can give a boon and curse regardless of what they asked for. Some of the early books have tall tales of people trying to think of the perfect wording and I think Sigzil says that’s not how it works. the boons we see on screen do have some connection to their question but it’s possible that this is unrelated to his request for more courage

It’s an interesting question I could see the nightwatcher staying in the valley and the Bondsmith moving, there is a tower in urithiru with plants “just in case the nightwatcher visits” we see it in book 5 where Dalinar has meetings. So the nightwatcher definitely can move, but the question on would they is a different one.

Maybe the spike makes a new hemalurgic construct like the Chimera we see in era 2? or could it be a god metal alloy? Like an 11th metal spike?

I’m curious, if a peakspren comes out of a rock, then wants to get to their radiants shoulder can they jump tha high? Or do they have to climb their legs to get that high? Can a radiant bend down and pick them up?

Alright I appreciate the help, I made a youtube video with some custom cards and mechanics if people want to take a look https://youtu.be/aJ228s2mSxA

Best moment - our dustbringer was fighting a desolating one, waited the third ideal then used division to turn them to dust, was pretty cool. He only managed to land a blow due to advantage that came with being Empowered.

I’ve been working through it and I think odiums forces are red black, I think k they would have a mechanic like Emerge that lets you sacrifice tokens to get your fused back on the battlefield. it might be a little over designed but I’m thinking a ”Highstorm” mechanic where some cards create a token and when there are 10 tokens damage is dealt to all untapped creatures to match how unsheltered characters are put in danger by the storm.

Hey everyone, I am brainstorming what an MTG x Stormlight set would be. I am trying to think in broad strokes what mechanics/keywords the set would be built into the set instead of focusing on what colors each character falls into. Here are the mechanics or keywords I like so far Storm (hehe) forecast, transmute, Some kind of Level up feature to mimic swearing ideals Disguise maybe-battle cry, Mentor/training, squad I think some kind of Highstorm mechanic would be interesting, but I am not sure how to implement it Infuse - you have to pay a certain amount of mana to keep things going like shardplate and fabrials. There’s an existing mechanic like this in mtg that’s barely used Say the words - fufill certain requirements then get certain benefits maybe transform cards, like the “solve a case” mechanic from murders of karlov manor Fused obviously have a reincarnation mechanic that focuses on creating parshendi tokens so they can bring back their fused. What should it be called? Desolation? Any other interesting mechanics that would match the stormlight archive? Or any ideas what a set would look like? What colors would focus on what etc?

My possible ideas -like spiderman - can climb walls -has their body covered in adhesion kind of like glue traps, weapons that hit them get stuck, -sticky hair? The idea is they could whip their hair like a built in whip to trap things

Just stab in the dark could a god metal give off some kind of radiation? Could there be a chunk of honor or odiums metal in that location that helps them grow larger? I think it’s unlikely but all I can think of when there probably isnt a perpendicularity out there (unless honors is moving around there)

My interpretation was that it worked for wax because he wanted to create lerasium but wasn’t creating it with the intent to become a mistborn himself

Yeah I agree, with what we know about hemalurgy if you have spike with allomatic pewter you still need to know the right spot. maybe part of the campaign is finding records of the right spot to “install” the infinity spike and the villains can’t use it till they find the records. maybe there’s a spot like the heart or something that works for all metal spikes

It could be a spike that has multiple abilities. like the powers that are stolen don’t decay and it’s been used multiple times so it has stuff similar to the bands of mourning coinshot x3, pewter x2, feruchemical copper etc I don’t know how that would be accomplished, a spike made of several metals?

I like the idea of the spike holding its charge forever it could also be a key to an Indiana jones style ruin where you put the spike into a statue and it opens a vault. i wonder if it’s a spike that has a unique interaction with Kandra

I asked a friend and it sounds like the snowflake is a symbol of lumar https://coppermind.net/wiki/File:Lumar_icon.svg so not as big of a discovery as I thought haha

What are these symbols on the worldhopper ball announcement? Has anyone pointed this out? Spoilers for Eyes of december

My random unorganized thoughts -the demon is a spaceship that crashed. The “blood” is the investiture it runs on leaking out of the destroyed engine. (Not super likely I will be honest) -this is mercy’s magic system/planet. We see that she has mercy for her husband on her deathbed, then has a different kind of mercy for the mayors wife/the same man etc. mercy could be explored in this book. -this isn’t the first time someone has “lived two lives” there was a prophet who killed the demon and healed people 300 years ago right? Well December already has knowledge of healing and could do something similar. So I think the prophet did the same thing. -super out there but I think Decembers mom was from Taldain. They keep mentioning December has lights/stars in her eyes which remind me of star marks that can be found in the dark side of Taldain

I like painspren a lot better, would be interesting if it was a combo of different spren types because a super pain spren seems like it would be into torture instead of truth but combining spren seems like a can of worms. I will say the gray Remnant doesn't look like a cryptic. I wonder why it looks like this, could it be affected by the death of the people of rathalas and be taking the forms of their hands? I also wonder what the gray remnant would look like in the cognitive realm

Just spitballing could a cryptic have gotten a boon or a bane from the nightwatcher? That made them into this unique spren? im curious if this spren is a one off or if we should expect/theorize about what other unique spren could exist. like what would a super up version of a mistspren look like?

Nothing in the rpg it has about the same info as the wiki. I wonder if there is a way for the to see into the cognitive realm and see what spren are trailing a a person? Somone surrounded by joy and glory spren would be a better partner than anger spren ya know? also I might start another thread for this but how do you think ryshadium survive highstorms? Like a herd of them? Find a hill and get close? Or a grove of trees?

I know we don't have anything official but if you had to guess how do Ryshadium choose a rider? There is some judgement where they decide if someone is worthy. What traits would make someone worthy? Is it some kind of procedure the human doe that impresses them? Or can Ryshadium somehow tell what kind of person you are when you are near them?

I think getting better boats would be one of the first steps, changing from sodden boats that use sails to metal ships with engines of some kind would help, increasing durability would help as well (idk how propellers work with the spores) creating “submarines” that stay on the surface would be interesting (so you don’t have to worry about pressure) but using engines for propulsion and having a shell protecting the crew would minimize casualties Spoilers for emberdark Inventing flight would remove a lot of concerns as well. Once the seas can be traveled the scattered communities can work together to develop the world

Could make them a Twinborn, whichever metal let’s you store calories could help with this

I think the more simple the command the better “be sharp” “don’t break” “fight well”

cooking or eating food based off things from the books would be fun, some kind of "craft" could be a good activity. You could research activites they have had at dragonsteels in the past for ideas, depending on how many people are into dnd/ttrpgs you could try playing the cosmere rpg
