One who Breaths and Reads

I would absolutely have to say that you would have to make it so that the planet has had some sort of shardic influence or multiple shards before, because most dnd classes straight up don't work in dnd unless you hit specific ideas well. I would include the Ire which are worldhoppers from Elantris and make it that wizards are just Elantrians because that is one of the few thematic and fitting magics. Make it that spell slots are just them restoring the connection and that as they get higher in levelsthe more control and more proficient at increasing their connection. Otherwise sorry but dnd as a system doesn't work, like at all with the Cosmere power set unless you homebrew like crazy. Even then the system doesn't do what you want from a gameplay manner trust me. Best bet is make your own or look online because 5e is built for one thing and making it do something its not meant to is not fun.

My theory is based on three key pieces of information from Sunlit man and TLM. 1. Kaladin is alive in some way but is not meant to be anywhere else (on Roshar presumably) 2. Something bad is happening on Roshar, presumably a war(which would have ended if Dalinar won the battle of champions) that keeps it difficult to interact or gain support from. 3. Something important is in Shinovar and Cultivation is planning something big Now to explain, on revision and reading through the various books set after the events of Stormlight 5 that there still is some kind of conflict on Roshar thats keeping it preoccupied with itself and makes it dangerous. We also know that something BIG happens to Kaladin to make it impossible for Kaladin to not be on Canticle (planet its set on) and is implied to still be alive (although he possibly can just be dead, but I feel like Brandon is setting him up for something more, although it could be a martyr) From this we can assume that in both the Journey to Shinovar and the Duel that they don't go as planned and effect the plot in major and unseen ways that are hinted at. One of these ways is that Dalinar will lose, as this not only would allow for the war to continue to but also cause Dalinar to be forced onto Taravangians side. While this could simply end there and the majority of the book is set as Dalinar trying to resist and maintain his oaths which eventually leads to him swearing another oath which allows him to break free or fail again, I think something greater will happen. I think Dalinar will swear his oaths and once Odium is by his side and someone else or someone figures out how to reforge honor, Dalinar will force Odium to bond with Honor of which I think he was meant to all along due to his condition. Being a person of two minds. Emotion and logic, Odium and Honor. Giving him the ability to utilize both shards intent properly something that Sazed struggles with himself while maintaining the ability to act and moniter each of the shards properly, each being a foil of the other while still allowing agency. Then I think over the course of the book Cultivation(before this event) will interact with and sort of act as a mentor to Todium in his shard ways, but when he becomes Twinshards like Cultivation wanted, he instead turns on her and Roshar once again splits into multiple sides, this time being Cultivation vs TodiumHonor vs those who remain. I think this also contributes to what Kaladin does as I think that in Shinovar that Kaladin gains or learns something about the shards and eventually(with some knights like Shallan and Adolin who will probably revive his blade) make a new independant faction for the knights that deny the shards and fight for the people of Roshar instead of anyone else and I think might gain some power that puts them on the same stage as the others, possibly a Dawnshard? I think that Dalinar will also take some knights to join Todium as well. probably due to the pact. But I think that most of the spren(at least the Windrunner and Edgedancer orders) will deny Todium and his goals as well as Cultivation(possibly) and make their own faction with Kaladin. Either way I feel like there will be three factions. I do know that Venli and her Willshapers will act as a strange but important piece in this though. But tell me what you think and definitely give me all of the criticism and ideas you have as well!!

Actually I would personally say that Mercy would have it that instead that when people die on Mercies world its instead that they are revived as Cognitive shadows like the Returned in a sense or the near dying gain immense investure to survive and then the rest is correct. Although thats my thoughts on what fits a bit more

Thank you for the amazing welcome guys!!

I would personally love to have either Awakening due to its massive potential and versatility or Feruchemy for the same reason but its a bit more defined. Hbu?

Hey you guys can call me Hurant! I enjoy all things sanderson and fantasy and adore understanding Science and magic! I've been here for a while but I thought that I should probably say hi at least!! I love theories and understanding the magic of Investure in general as well as philosopy! Idk what else to say lol

In a previous question, a person asked whether or not a person could Awaken a piece of steak and then stab it with Hemalurgy to produce a proto-Human. In response Brandon replied that was plausable but soulcasting would be better. Using this concept I thought that perhaps, using soulcasting to carve or create a body then stabbing it with a Hemalurgic spike you could perhaps create some form of clone. But then I considered the possibilities and then realized how insane you could get with concepts such as this and how you could possibly make entire new species if done well enough. So reply and say your crazy ideas with all of this

I'd go with Feruchemy, because not only is it one of the most versatile and useful abilities, but unlike the others you cannot gain the ability unless you are born with the ability, meaning if you were in the Cosmere that you would be able to at least be able to find other ways and such to acquire the effect without Hemalurgy. As well as its the most Cosmere wide hepful when it comes to things such as things such as storing all sorts of effects such as Connection or Investure. The mechanics overall are more useful as well as accessable if you wish to make use of it when it comes to things such as acquiring the correct metals. Although the time storing it can be annoying, you can always figure out how to acquire Lerasium or go to Nalthis for breaths. Heck on Roshar, Surgebinding is one of the few magics that doesn't require you to be born on the planet to gain the benefits without any extra efforts. Such as Breaths and Awakening with Nalthis. Personally I would want to be born on Nalthis born with Full feruchemy
