    Aaah I see, yeah that sounds both dangerous and exciting! How many cookies do I have to accept in order to start developing allomantic abilities??
  2. CognitiveShadow
    Sure is!! So stoked for the next few books coming up!!
  3. CognitiveShadow
    Thanks! Much appreciated!
  4. CognitiveShadow
    Thanks for the heads up! No idea what you mean though lol

    That’s fair, I could see it @Onironte, but we are talking about Kelsier being the “Spren” in this bond- someone would bond him had their Spren… pretty out there and super unlikely but supposedly possible somehow haha any thoughts on who would be a good person to bond him and what might happen??

    Thanks! Feel free to make any changes / suggestions that you think might make it better haha I agree it could use some edits. But yeah, it’s definitely a lot of fun trying to adapt a song into a parody, getting in the characters head a little bit and having some fun with wordplay. Have you posted your songs here? I’d like to check them out!

    To the tune of "Survivor" by Destiny's Child.... the Kesier edition! If you are like me, you probably need to play the actual song and think/say/sing the lyrics below to see how it fits (Warning, spoilers for all things Kelsier and Cosmere...Enjoy!)

    @Personification Good to know! Had no idea this existed haha I will definitely drop this in there, looks like a fun section to explore too!

    @Thaidakar the Ghostblood @Ta'veren Kaladin now here is a song that you might like even more! haha check it out in the Sanderson Fan Works forum and let me know what you think

Let me know what you think or if you have any fun/cool edits! Also, anyone particularly gifted in the singing of songs and such that would want to turn this into something that can actually be listened to? haha

    Daaaaang yeah so Brando Sando straight up said it can happen. I guess I could have searched for the wob too lol So I would imagine that Kelsier could be down for this if it meant giving him Connection to someone from a different place- particularly someone who is capable of worldhopping since that could open up his search for more secrets without the whole avatar thing. That’s probably the biggest positive. And for the other person it would be likely that they get some pretty sweet abilities and access to investiture, and a big ol’ dose of the will to survive haha

    yeah that's a good call haha Jasnah would be really interesting to see too! Hard to guess who would actually give in more often than the other. I'm sure it would vary by situation but they are both pretty stubborn about their own course of action. Do we know if it is possible for a cognitive shadow to bond with someone like a spren? any WoB's on this? Also, would it be of any benefit to Kelsier to allow a bond like that to happen? Would he have a choice?

    I think a great hybrid shard would be Honor and Mercy. Hold people to their oaths and keep people accountable for the things they do / don't do. But then also be understanding of the circumstances and empathetic enough to let things slide when it is the right thing to do. I'm not sure what to call it though... maybe Wisdom (if that isn't one of the unknown shards already) or Balance? Could do Empathy and Compassion maybe too but they seem heavy on the mercy side maybe. Anyone else have ideas?

    Hang on- are you talking about Kelsier bonding a spren.... or are you talking about Kelsier being the 'spren' part of a bond with someone else? Cause it's cool to think about Kelsier bonding a spren like @Rune was describing. But what happens if someone is able to bond Kelsier (given that he is a spren-like being, a cognitive shadow that has been around for ages, becoming more like spren each day...)? I don't know what that looks like or if it's even possible but I like to think that it would be pretty awesome. Maybe an unchained bondsmith like Dalinar could make it happen somehow? Maybe his mistborn abilities show through in that person, and his "survive" mandate / ideal would pass along some abilities that feel a little more in line with 'knights radiant'-type abilities...? To answer your question, though - I think Kelsier bonded Szeth that could be pretty cool. Imagine Szeth trying to get both Nightblood and Kelsier's voices out of his head, telling him to destroy evil and kill the rich people. Adolin would be interesting as well (Adolin would help temper some of Kelsier's more murderous tendencies... but then again Kelsier would likely encourage some of Adolin's murderous tendencies). I would definitely not want it to be Hoid but I think Hoid wouldn't really want that either... Who else would be a terrible option?

    You gotta give it a listen- you’ll probably recognize it but either way pay attention to the story. It’s a classic! https://open.spotify.com/track/5IMtdHjJ1OtkxbGe4zfUxQ?si=UaWKGdvnRvORw3zl8-guTA

    Ah darn and here I thought I’d had a new idea! Haha thanks for sharing the link- this looks awesome!

    Cosmere Wordle #1! If you aren’t familiar with how to play Wordle, Google is a great source with the basic info But basically you just guess a 5 letter word and get info on which letters are right/wrong until you get the right word. But you only get 6 guesses. I’m not sure how we make this work smoothly in this forum - maybe someone can do something to make it a cooler experience? I figure for now you all can try to guess the 5 letter word and I will let you know what is correct / incorrect. Might take us some time but hey we should have a winner by the end of the day haha first person to guess the word of the day wins!! I’ve got the word. Hint- it has something to do with the Cosmere… could be a name of a character, strange made of Brando Sando word, come from a cosmere language… let the games begin!

    @Ta'veren Kaladin @Thaidakar the Ghostblood Definitely was thinking about the song, but merged with the typical long walks on the beach phrase- should have gone all in on the song and said getting caught in the rain instead though haha thanks for the welcome!
  19. CognitiveShadow
    Yeah that’s a good point, it goes back to what @Weltall said about being able to use the investiture as long as you have all the pieces you need to make it work. A body is needed for allowancy (as a random example). Curious if a body would be necessary to make every form of investiture work though…? Breaths? Stormlight? Aon Dor?…
  20. CognitiveShadow
    Thanks everybody!
  21. CognitiveShadow
    These are super good points, thanks for sharing.
  22. CognitiveShadow
    Really good points! Thanks for sharing that WoB too, definitely helps bring clarity and more informed perspective. Are power systems or abilities only useable in the physical world? I can’t remember if the characters who have gone into the cognitive realm have been able to use their powers or not.. I think no though, right?

    Hello all! I made an account a while back but never really got active. With the secret projects and soon-to-be-written next few books coming out not too distantly, thought I’d dig a little deeper and join the community fully. I love all things Cosmere. I started reading about a year ago and burned through it all, so I had to go and read all the Wheel of Time stuff while I’ve been waiting for more Cosmere books to come out. Anyway, stoked to be here, excited for the next books, and looking forward to a whole lot of crack theories! - Nate / CognitiveShadow

    Thanks everyone for the great comments! I think I am pretty well aligned with these core arguments that you people made: (stormlight 5 and cosmere spoilers) Super excited for the next few books and secret books coming out! Hopefully we can get some cool glimpses into how Kelsier is interacting with the Cosmere. Thanks again everyone!
  25. CognitiveShadow
    This is a question that I have been thinking a lot about lately. Not one that I have really dug super deeply for answers on though, so apologies if there is a wobs on this already or if someone has asked this already! Just assume spoilers for all cosmere below, hope that’s ok:
