  1. Hey man, you don't look too swell. Do you want any ibuprofen? Whatever man. Just do it. Report any consequences to my secretary. *Points to the decrepit skeleton in the corner*
  2. Granted. The moment you try ingesting pewter, the lead contact gets you deathly ill. Burning the pewter only gets you back to your base condition. Eating modern pewter won't work because there is no lead. Trying to get any other metal blows you up by the way. I wish to never get sick again, while also being able to go about my life normally.
  3. 1. Silver being basically an investiture killer, is it something you can soulcast into? I get that it would be hard soulcasting silver into something else, but what about turning something into silver? Would it stop mid-transformation or something? I know aluminum can be created, but insulating is different from destroying. 2. If not soul casting, what about forgery? Could silver/aluminum hold the stamp at all after transforming? 3. How would soulcasting work in the spiritual realm? Not manifesting, but actively turning something into something else via the Transformation surge. Like, try turning one of those obsidian plants into bread. You don't really have a bead to communicate with, right? 4. Soulcasting is a very quick process, where spheres are drained fast enough to crack the gem. What if you limited the rate of Light being supplied? Would you see a boulder slowly dissolve into water? Or would the transformation just not work, like a reaction without enough heat?
  4. Granted, but I went back in time and took your mouth. You cannot tell me your wish now. I wish for a million bajillion dollars in cash
  5. ...I feel like that's not how Duralumin hemalurgy would work...?
  6. I mean, he could stay as Kaladin, being a modern, darkeyed hero? You know, commoner rises to demi-god status, he can stay Kaladin as a symbol or whatever. Or, since using Kalak and other combinations is way too similar to Kelek's names, we could only use the later half of his name, ladin? So it would be Nidaladin??? Dalad? Nidadin? Nidin? Nin... Ladinidal sounds fun, I dunno I'm no linguist
  7. Happy! birth. day, it's a very special day! Happy happy birthday dad, if my dad were you and also If my dad were made of clouds and rain and the broken mind of an ancient god and wind. Birthd!

  8. Granted. This launches a 5 month investigation against you. After 19 employers are found stuck to walls, you are finally brought to justice. Good luck nailing people to the walls in prison, you sicko. I wish for all my books to stay dry, and impervious to water damage.
  9. Can I ask. What is that banner.

    I see who it is. But why. ? .

    1. Lemmingbleming

      Lemmingbleming

      The banner is a random lady, and the reason is because she will always watch me and torment me for the rest of my time on this shard, to remind me not to do weird things, and a reminder that I am very wired, in a good way.

      Oh...! well. Who am I to judge.

    3. Lemmingbleming

      You are somebody to judge

  10. Granted. My Powers doesn't appreciate this, and sues you for emotional damages and exploitation. See you in court, buddy. I wish to be able to shape shift with no drawbacks whatsoever
  11. That is a great question! I have a better one! I go on a long and arduous quest to take up every other shard and bring it back to the dog.
  12. I sit back down in the Well. And I plot. And scheme. And conive. And plan. And strategize. And while you weren't looking I give the Shard of Ruin to the dog that was nearby and then sneak away without the shard tying me down.
  13. This sets you on a quest to free the power in the Well of Hamscension. The power being ME, after my character arc on Roshar ended up with me taking up Ruin. I'M FREEEEE!!!
  14. I take the sandwich and take a seat and take a bite. Oh. Oh my goodness. The popsicle, the chouta, both between two slices of bread.... Oh man. It's terrible. The taste is so nasty, so conflicting, like there's a war in my mouth. Like someone torturing me. My soul goes back to Roshar. So long!!
  15. "Um. It's evil and killed me. Probably steals magic too." I pull it out. "Good chance it has some valuable material in it"
  16. Having gone through a major character arc on Roshar and becoming a Herald, (the 11th one because they didn't have anyone to replace), I appear on Braize with a Fused spear in my chest. I see the popsicle-chouta sandwiches for sale, and I offer to buy one for the spear currently impaled in me.
  17. Thinking about other magic systems, I think Division would pair pretty well with the hijo on Komashi. Just find an open field of stone, visualize a bunch of rock stacks (or at that point, just any 3d sculpture really), break off all the negative space and dust away the gravel. Then you have a pit with a bunch of rock art. And about that earlier point on sky writing glyphs, would that work on Sel, if the surgebinder was Elantrian? Could they use Aons by instantly burning the air? (And is that how the fire works, by dividing the water moisture in the air and sparking it??) According to this Coppermind bit, division can add/subtract color, so that would probably mesh really well with Nalthian Awakening, strengthening or weakening the Awakener's colors? I would like to add, with self-control being a core aspect of Dustbringers' journey, theoretically, making perfect spheres would be the perfect task for them. If they can keep a constant circle shape and shave off the excess, then the ancient Knights Radiant would have a million "King's Drops", right?
  18. Yeah, that's what I thought too. Even if she can eat the whole plant, it'll probably give less light than what she put in. Could be because some light is lost somewhere along the process, from either entropy or inefficiency? That, and/or her body doesn't convert the entire thing into light, setting the rest aside as normal food to be digested? Otherwise she'd starve, I guess. ... Instead of studying for my geography test, I did some light digging, here's a bunch of WOBs So! Based on all this, here's the main takeaway: Lift can only convert what she can digest. The amount of light is proportional to how many nutrients she's getting out of it. The rate of light conversion is proportional to how fast she can metabolize the food. If she eats something indigestible, like gum, no light will be made. A vegetable will be converted slower, but will yield more light, and a fruit will be faster, but make less light. But based on that last WoB, the food and its associated nutrients are only a gateway, a key to Cultivation's lifelight. The investiture does not come from Lift herself. So I guess still, eating a plant won't give you all of its associated investiture, because you can't really process fiber. That just goes back out the system, so the light spend growing that has been wasted.
  19. I think at most, the process would end up being net-negative. Keep in mind that while Lift is pumping Progression into a plant, she's not going to be able to eat the whole plant. A lot of the growth will be going into the stem, the branches, the roots, the flowers, etc. If she's growing something like berries, that's a very small portion of food she can convert into Light. Even if she's growing a bigger plant, like a root, say carrots, she can't, or won't, eat the extra roots and the leaves. Even an on-world food like a lavish polyp has roots and a husk that can't be eaten. So whatever she's eating, it's probably not enough to be self-sustainable. And I guess if she were to somehow farm animals to eat, there'd still be bones and hair and organs and such that are inedible.

  21. Birth!?! Day! What a mirthful way. A birth of a new May. A morph into a ray. A bird filled bray. A turd-less cay. A worthy pay. A shirt-less lay. A hurtful say. A yogurt bay. A happy. Birthday!!

      But where are my keys? I think the bees must have stolen them in the breeze. Geez. Don’t break both my knees, or I’ll freeze these seas. Don’t make the Japanese sneeze.

      ...I was actually really close to doing AltonicKnees for last Ookla season before I realized the freeze bit was more fitting. but I'm stealing that breeze one. And maybe the seas.

      I love me my worthy pays for shirtless lays.

  22. Granted. Live skunk. Your dog smells like wet dog now, which is normal. There's just a live skunk in your living room. Which makes your dog smell like live skunk. It's a lose-lose situation here. I wish for a thousand dollars in pennies delivered safely to my doorstep
  23. Granted. You are made of iron, as is your twin. You don't survive being born, but you weren't really alive in the first place, being made of solid iron and all. The mother also dies during your childbirth. It's difficult enough to harbor two chunks of solid metal in your belly. I wish for god-like musical knowledge
  24. Happy! If only you were here to witness your own birth. Day!  WOOOO! Welcome (back) into the world (hopefully) (manifesting)! Happy birthday to youuuu

  25. ohhhh man that's kinda a lot to remember BUT ALSO really cool and I really like that!!!! What a confusing and complex line of events. If only there were a more in-depth, and fully written story about it....
