Now that I read the surges part. When the ardents translated the text from the Dawnchant, it said that the humans already were able to control the surges: Was this just granted directly by Odium? Were this powers voidbinding or some other manifestation? It kind of always bugged me.

I always thought the Nahel bond was something the spren created on their own emulating what Honor did with the Heralds

I never said Voidlight was a combination of various lights. Or is the combination of 2 lights or Investitures the same as a corrupting one? That's not what I have understood until now. That would mean Navani was corrupting Stormlight when mixing it with Voidlight but there is no red in it. Same with Towerlight, no red. I think corrupted investiture would behave as a single light and would act as so when checked with the test Navani performed

I've been looking around and I haven't seen anything that addresses this particular question so here I go. So far we have seen that in Roshar there are 3 type of Light associated with the Shards. We have also seen that Lifelight(LL) which is green and Stormlight(SL) which is white-blue create Towerlight(TL) when combined, which is blue-green. Even more, we know that when combined, ST and Voidlight(VL), which is purple, create Warlight which is a dark-blue. Now here is the problem. Brandon has been very clear about the colours associated with the Shards in Roshar. Honor is white-blue, nothing wrong so far. Cultivation is green, great. But Odium's colour is not purple. First, in the books, every time we see Odium, he is surrounded by golden light. Brandon has also said that instances of red Investiture in Roshar are linked to Odium and he has described the color as a red-gold, we know that any form of corrupted Investiture is represented as having a red tinge to it. From the top of my head there has been a single instance where we've seen golden-red Investiture being used at all and that is at the end of RoW. Now, here's my idea and I'd like you people to discuss it. The mixtures of Light so far have followed normal colour theory and so VL was not originally Odium's Investiture. Blue and red make purple. Ba-Ado-Mishram gave VL to the Singers and I think it is simple corrupted SL and that is why Venli can use both ST and VL to power her abilities. What do you people think? Maybe what I'm saying is very obvious, but after RoW and with KoWaT/WaT coming up I've been thinking about this. Do you think we'll see people using Odium's pure/corrupted Light in ST5? Will we see a real combination of Odiumlight and SL? I really just want to share theories with the community and see everyone's perspectives

I don't know if its neurodivergence or not as I am not diagnosed, but I experience it multiple times a week with all sorts of loved ones. My grandfather that died 5 year ago for example, or my dog that died last year. You forget, and when the realization comes, it hurts, a lot, but you don't breakdown every time and specially, not when under stress. I have found myself literally thinking "Oh yeah... right..." countless times and that doesn't mean that I don't suffer from it... I'm sorry that that didn't match your experience @danexbut I have to agree with @JohnnyKaizen, it really spoke to me Couldn't have worded it better

It has become the target of my hyperfixation, so it's definitely the same for me

That is such a difficult question because I like different things from different ones. Stormlight has a special place in my heart because against every recommendation online, I started my journey through the Cosmere there lol. But, what keeps me going back and rereading all the books is the Cosmere, its mechanics, and how they relate to each other. Finding all the constants throughout the books is a completely enriching and maddening experience lmao.

As @Trusk'our pointed with their quote, It is known that there are Allomancers that are stronger, more efficient than others, but I don't think we need to go all the way into Allomancy to talk about it. I'm sure you know someone who is just naturally stronger than you IRL. I think the blessings take that innate fortitude and just add that extra pewter burning as a spice. My understanding is that if you added your strength and your stronger friend's strength together that wouldn't work as 1 + 1 = 2 but as 1+1.5 = 2.5 even taking into account the Hemalurgic decay.

It's my first post outside of the introductory one so pls let me know anything that I might be doing wrong. I'm finishing a reread of Mistborn era 1 and while listening to the Epigraphs something caught my attention and decided to read them carefully. This will be spoilers for the first Mistborn trilogy: I wrote everything inside a spoiler because I'm not sure of the etiquette yet, once again let me know if anything isn't done properly hahaha

I started reading and listening to the Cosmere books 1 year ago and I have now gone through everything but Whitesand and Yumi at last 3 times. I think it was about time I ended here.
