Green Hoodie Mistborn

There is a limit to the amount an attribute can be stored though. You can't do 100% unfortunately, you're low end bounded in real Feruchemy WoB here: http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=977#29

When Pattern speaks of lies, he is usually talking about Shallans use of metaphor in speech. They are not literally true, but are descriptive lies that paint a picture. Like a song "blowing up the charts/radio". It does no such thing but that paints a word picture that is useful for a hearer to understand something about that song's success.

I read an interview in August with Rothfuss that talked about him spending basically 30 min per WORD when he was writing the Prologue and Epilogue to Name of the Wind

That is completely not fair to Rothfuss. He loves his fans as much as Brandon, but they have different approaches to writing. Sanderson is more of the anomaly than Rothfuss in the way he approaches writing. and we have been spoiled by it.

I think the answer is... "yes". Weight manipulation certainly helps but Wax also has a level of experience with his Steel that no Mistbirn of era 1 we saw had.

I meant Mistborn: House War the board game coming out sometime next year, sorry for confusion

Seon on Roshar WoB:

I totally missed that... The Reckonerverse is more of a comicbook "multiverse" than universe though. It seems to be so far multiple realities of the same universe, which is cool but a little different than Cosmere. I don't expect to see a ton of overlap between the Reckoner Stories personally, maybe Apocalypse Guard, but they are a reality spanning group. As opposed to Cosmere where we have worldhoppers which are roughly equivalent to the AG in Reckoners, but we are headed to world interaction and "collision" or already have in Sixth of Dusk

The mistborn adventure board game might have some surprise art for us but I've not seen any official TLR art anywhere else.

Did you read all of book 5? Even the secret letter at the end? Pretty clear indication there is more to come in the series for my money I think Defending Elysium is my favorite Sci-Fi of his

I'm most eager for Nightblood (want to find out more about Vivenna and Vasher's story Also the next/last(?) Wax & Wayne story

Simple... join the pre-Oathbringer re-read and read it all again! https://thecognitiverealm.com/ More seriously though... Brent Weeks, Patrick Rothfuss are other great to read as well

Well Shari is from MaiPon, and Uncle Kiin's children admin Sarene are all familiar with MaiPon eating sticks, so they must not be that unaware of them. Khriss says in her UA essay that the three empires of Sel are aware, but pretend each other are only "blips" on the map, hence "rose barbarians" I'm not sure what to think of the theory, but it does seem likely that the Gyorn would have been involved in the assassination plot.

with the WoB you quoted, I don't think that Wax nearly qualifies, as he wasn't permeated with Investiture, nor did he have his soul swapped for investiture. I'm really confused on the Returned now... is there a difference in a Cognitive Shadow and a Splinter? Returned have been confirmed to be Splinters of Endowment. Are they and perhaps the Heralds both Splinters and Cognitive Shadows of their respective shards? I like the idea that Elantrians are Cognitive Shadows based on that quote by Brandon, but that means they are killed by the magic system in order to make them. That seems... extreme. I know that they keeps saying in Elantris that they are dead, but I always thought they were just frozen in time sort of rather than killed by the process and then reanimated...

Is it possible to metallurgical combine Silver and Aluminum? That would be unusual! though a silver knife would be unusual by itself to most of the Cosmere, constantly dulling, but very useful in fighting cognitive shadows!

It's just too much happenstance and/or odd planning on Brandon's/Helaran's part to me to have a random unknown Veden with Helaran's blade be at the battle. It was already a huge coincidence that Kaladin was present and killed the shardbearer of the blade that Helaran displayed to his father. Maybe, but I will feel cheated if he didn't actually die. The others I am fine with and see the need for, but Helaran should be dead to provide real conflict between Kaladin and Shallan, not a fake one that will be remedied when Helaran shows up from offstage. It cheapens the narrative between Kaladin and Shallan that is sure to come if he's not dead. Is it possible? Sure. We've seen Nale use his fabrial to heal Szeth, so why not make Helaran disappear by showing off his shardblade to his ghostblood father and then have the bearer of that blade "die in combat". I don't think the bearer of that blade was TRYING to die at Kaladin's hand... they were just over confident as are all newly endowed shardbearers. There is no way they could have known that Kaladin would win that battle... by all rights he should not have won. So, that would have been an odd way to try and fake a death, to be the only shardbearer on a field of battle and expect to be killed? That's seems a stretch to me...

If Helaran was a surgebinder, a true Skybreaker, then he should have been able to heal with Stormlight from a stab to the eye, right? Unless... a few things: He wasn't bonded to a spren, only lent a dead sprenblade and armor as a test to join the Skybreakers He wasn't advanced enough to unconsciously use stormlight, like was mentioned in Edgedancer (that's not really a spoiler right?) The shardplate he was using was interfering with his use of stormlight like Szeth mentions in WoK and he couldn't effectively use it to heal The shardplate he was using drained his stormlight to heal itself, like the helm when Kaladin used it in the WoR Arena duel I don't know if it's been mentioned before... but, if he was there for the Skybreakers... maybe he wasn't assassinating Amaram. Maybe he was there to kill Kaladin as a burgeoning surgebinder?

I still think that the Returned were part of Endowment's far future seeing Anti-Odium plan... specifically the part where they created Nightblood. Somehow he's going to be a key to destroying Odium. I'm going to have to re-read the portions with Denth, I don't remember him talking about culture being dead and gone. Though that could easily just be the Hallandren culture from before the Manywar...

My thought was... if land/water are flipped in cognitive, perhaps temperature extremes are as well? I also think that the Heralds are tortured/caught in the cognitive before they pass on rather than the physical realm. If the land/sea flip corresponds to extremes of temperature then a frozen physical world would be a burning hellscape in the cognitive... at least in my mind. In the same way the planet of Ashyn would be frozen in the cognitive. Though temps are not as extreme in the Cognitive so I'm not sure if that thought works or not. I'd also think that it's dangerous because of the large # of Spren that are on Braize

I'd think you'd see a bunch of lag on your end that might make the local copy of the game time or error out.

Per the Annotations: Which means, that in theory Denth is somehow in line to the throne because he has the Royal Locks... unless he is one of the "notable exceptions" mentioned. None of the other 5 Scholars have them and I doubt that other Returned children would have them... though maybe?

It's going to be different by coutry based in different distribution rights. In the US, Tor now has book Dist rights and since its included in Arcanum unbounded they have discontinued all separate sales (for now at least)

I was skeptical of Arcanum Unbound, but it has not disappointed me! Edgedancer alone is almost worth the price to me, but with Secret History, Edgedancer, and all the other stories, plus essays and star maps, it's well worth it.

I'm late to the game here... I loved the book, the whole series. I was not a fan however of the last chapter. I get it from a character standpoint. it is perfect in that way... but it was really a lurch of an ending. It left me hanging in a brutal way that the Bastille letter at the end couldn't really help. I can't wait for the next book in this series as I really want to know how everything ends!

Technically she's not saying "awesomeness", she's saying something in her native language that happens to translate into "awesomeness" in english as the books are translated from their original Cosmere languages.
