  1. Granted. From unrelated reasons, your left pinky blows up. That's it. I wish for a really tall table.
  2. Larry scoffed. "The droids I'm familiar with have full processing units and already suck. If these ones can't even think, I don't see how we can fail."
  3. "Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of our hot eat the food" -Tzu War, Of sun Art
  4. Granted. It appears... In the sky. Oh, now it's accelerating upwards. Now it's far out of orbit, and is exponentially speeding up to meet the edge of the universe. Now neither of us can enjoy it. Great. I wish for a pencil that never runs out of lead
  5. Granted! It's like those tiny tea spoons. Oh, and it's also really hot and won't cool down. I wish for a really good burger.
  6. Opened Coppermind to do some quick research, landed on a Stormlight-related page..... man. why are you guys so fast

    Guess I can't use the Coppermind anymore until I get WaT from the library in like 5 months :(

    1. Immortal Platypus

      Immortal Platypus

      use the time machine function. It lets you go to a date before WaT was released. That's what I did

  7. Jezerezeh/Jezrien? Most heralds aren't from Roshar
  8. 2. Drawing upon DnD's schools of magic, you already have Enchantment and Transmutation. I think the most interesting would be Abjuration, runes which produce non-physical, protective and warding effects. The obvious application can be like magic barriers, but maybe it can do like a zone of truth, or a rain caller, or rain-go-away-er. Maybe like a rune-disabling rune? 3. Ignoring the magical consequences and drawbacks, let's talk about people. One thing I've seen is magic tattoos. Though yeah humans already have sentience, Cognition, Movement and Sentient runes don't grant much, but they could perhaps further enhance human aspects. You can use a movement rune on your fist, so when activated can give even more speed to your punches, or on your legs to run faster. I guess you could use a stronger rune to move your entire body, so you have a quick movement option. Also environmentally-friendly cars Cognition (or maybe Sentience?) runes can potentially specialize someone's knowledge, so you can have a person who knows everything about cooking, but less about history. Enhancement runes don't have very diverse applications. I guess you can enhance your fist hardness for, well, harder punches. You can enhance your legs to withstand higher drops, or maybe your bones. Runescribe on your bones??? That's an idea. How about Transformation runes on their body. Turn your fist into steel for harder punches (please don't mind my insistence on punching haha). Turn all your bones into steel so they're much better in combat, at the expense of blood health? Maybe the more extreme people can transform into other animal parts. Turn your left arm into a bear arm. Turn your teeth into a snake's fangs. Turn your eye into a cyborg laser eye. Unless Transformation only affects the material, and not more complex concepts. In which case just turn your bones into steel, you probably don't need that bone marrow anyways. Then there's offensive applications. Movement Rune a guy backwards away from you, or towards your waiting spear. Cognitive Rune a guy into not knowing anything? Remove their knowledge? If you can do like reverse Enhancements, make a guy's arm into mush so they punch like a soggy bagel. Transform a guy's leg into air. Transform the whole guy into air while you're at it. Or at that point gold for profit. That's a villain idea right there, kidnapping people and Transforming them into valuable resources.
  9. After the Gimme alien invasion, I can't really trust anyone anymore. But that aside.... I have that thing you've always wanted.... oh no I'm fine. But what do you say, about this gift...? Aw man, I always thought that wouldn't happen. I just lost several hundred on a bet.
  10. Welcome to the shard! Wax polarized the harmonium he got, making one part more atium, one part more lerasium, though not completely separate. He then used the Trellium spike to blow it all up, but only produced traces of atium dust. Probably also lerasium dust but Sazed is all secretive about it. Quote taken from Coppermind: Though the Coppermind explains it, I'm not totally sure how Harmony supplies Marsh with atium. Kinda foggy on that part.
  11. ...Queen of spades, which makes that a royal flush! Well mate, looks like you owe me another check! But that would only make sense if you consider the color blue. But with YELLOW in the equation...
  12. Oh.... okay... I was NOT an early bird :( what do you mean 81 on hold

  13. Granted. Aaatttttteeennntttiiiooonnn ssspppaaannn. I wish for a gallon of chicken broth. No questions.
  14. Lightning round! If I had a circle, and divided the circumference by the diameter, what would I get, rounded to the nearest hundredth? What is the large fruit that people sometimes empty out, use as makeshift boats and participate in a race? Something tells me that's not supposed to happen, but I really can't be sure with you.
  15. Granted. You are cursed to become a beast until said beauty comes to break the curse. In the meantime your colleagues are turned into talking objects, and the adjacent village is plotting your death. I wish for a job, no interview
  16. So... Tell me a little about yourself. Good answer. I don't see how that relates but good answer.
  17. Larry decides he should just stand there with his blaster out and slowly nod with what everyone else is saying. Thinking Deven would feel comfortable if Larry was at ease, he popped his knuckles and neck and fiddled with his weapon.
  18. Granted. All edits are in tiny fine text under the original post, which is enlargened and highlighted. I wish for industrial earplugs.
  19. Granted, it's fire. It is a column of fire. I wish for a glass of water
  20. Granted. The things are obnoxiously gleeful and won't stop bothering you. I wish for a chair.
  21. I kinda see it as, yeah he's super evil and we should all hate him for what he's done and we should probably kill him off. But also that's a 100% understandable path to take. Like yeah if I was that conflicted about my life I would totally sell my emotions to an ancient god and do his bidding. I don't want to call it "realism" but I think it adds to the element of human flaws. Which has probably been a recurring thing in Stormlight. I think killing or redemption are both natural ways to tackle this, but I do want to see a reckoning of sorts at some point.
  22. Granted. It now can't talk back to you. I wish for a better attention span.
  23. One more day.... It's just a day away....... Less than 24 hours before it begins.....

  24. oh woah ah um HAPPY (echo effect) slightly BELATED (excessive drumming) BBBBBBB (cheap dubstep buildup) BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! (airhorns) I WAS TOTALLY PAYING ATTENTION (explosion) OH WHAT (screams) THATS JUST (ambulance sirens) PART OF THE SHOW (my leg) WOAH (party-horn_free.ogg)

    1. Through the Living Heir

      Through the Living Heir

      Thank (crashing and honking that imply something falling down the stairs) you! (quiet singing of happy birthday, suddenly split by the shriek of a fire alarm set off by the candles) 

  25. Granted. Each time you enter a portal, there's a delay before you exit. It's twice the time it would take if you physically walked to the other portal. I wish for a NASA supercomputer
