I have to ask because I don't know if I'm understanding everything very well. If you are compounding Nicrosil then you are simply generating Investiture exponentially? of the type it has been stored? That's interesting. Now what I'm wondering is, do you store the Investiture but the capacity to use it has to be stored separately? Or is it assumed that since you can save it, you already have the capacity?

Thank you very much for the welcome! A place I would like to visit is Shinovar, yes, it is quite similar to our land but it still sounds interesting. Alezkar sounds good too, especially Kholinar, seeing a big city in Roshar would really interest me. And purelake... seems very nice and peaceful, although it is not a country. Which one would you choose to visit?

HI Welcom to the shard! You are going to have a great time here, there are many excellent posts and everyone is very friendly.

Hi everyone!, I recently joined Brandon's community and I received a great welcome, everyone was very friendly. So I would like to share my reading here, To share with the community, share theories, stories of your first readings and soak up more of the cosmere. I have read all of Mistborne era 1, Stormlight archive, Elantris, Warbreaker, the arcanum and Alloy of law. After a long time I finally found time to read Shadows of Self. Im VERY ready now. First a little atmosphere, I always like to listen to something that gives me vibes of what I'm about to read. This theme is quite good, direct credits to the author. A bit of context of my experience in the first book. I had heard that many people didn't like Alloy of law because of how short it is, because of its plot or because it is very simple, among other things. Personally, I was left with a good impression, I already had in mind that things changed a lot and seeing the same familiar world but a long time later is very interesting. The twinborns fascinated me, so many possibilities, so many combinations. They depend on one's mastery and since skills are used more than ever, you hardly know what you are going to find. I liked the protagonists very much, Wax and Wayne remind you of those friends who have been used to their jokes and nonsense for years. Wayne doing his thing and Wax reacting as if it were the most normal thing is very funny. I really like Steris and Marasi, especially Marasi, with all her past involved. She is very capable, with good moments, at times keeps the group focused and sometimes shares a brain cell with Wax and Wayne. I love the atmosphere!. A mix of western with detectives and the cover of the book is.. uff... As for the plot, it's fine. I was expecting something more interesting about the mystery of the trains, for example that they used shadesmar to "disappear" them, but hey, the machine... is fine. The antagonist is quite good, a gold compounder is good, especially with its resemblance to wax. and of course Ironeyes . That's all for now, i really want to get to The Bands of Mourning and The Lost Metal, I've been told great things about them. Anything you want to share is welcome! Thank for reading!

There are many interesting ones, my favorite is a mix of a stoneward and a windrunner like a mini bondsmith. Apart from the fact that bondsmiths are unique, having Tension and Adhesion on a hypothetical fifth ideal knight can be very good for many things besides just fighting, you literally have access to physical and spiritual bonds. shaping the stones or surfaces, joining them to build, helping you with gravitation or making messes with everyone at the same time. On land and in the air it would be very dangerous. Besides, ideals do not clash, Being wherever you are needed can go hand in hand perfectly with, I will protect those who cannot protect themselves. I especially like how comradely these orders look together. Maybe also dustbringers and elsecallers. It doesn't seem to me that their ideals clash, from the little we know so far at least. The Second Ideal of the Elsecallers is focused on reaching one's potential. The Second Ideal of the Dustbringers is focused on self mastery. And their powers together sound cool. Look Jasnah for example, she is too strong (Besides, she is very good at using her skills) just using Transformation adds Division and abrasion for mobility.

Hello! It is quite difficult, as you have been told, in reality, taking into account the 16 allomantic metals and their importance, there should not be more. I can add this, but keep in mind that depending on how far you have read it may be a spoiler from era 2 and stormlight archive. Can we invent? If something interesting I guess: Platinum: allows you to reduce a person's vitality, physical or spiritual vitality let's say. Iridium allows you to steal it for yourself. Although here it would be more useful than a hemalurgic spike now that I think about it.

the Lopen........ always two steps ahead of everyone.. even from hoid (or not ) It's good too, until a year ago I had no idea what Hasbin Hotel was and they asked me about the same thing, now it makes more sense Hi! Thank you very much for the welcome. nmmmm cookies? I would say yes but I was warned beforehand about these.

Thanks for the welcome! Curiously, I get asked this question very often and it's one of my favorites! It actually comes from a sword from the game Devil May Cry, the first one. Although if it were for Alastor Moody it would be more "gentlemanly"? So far I like the stormlight archive in general more, I only read up to the 6th book about Harry, I saw the rest in movies. What is your favorite? Any other Brandon saga or one outside of him that you like? ah, the full name is Alastor BlackMercy

its a big quote and It was quite difficult to find it This one is from Ob i think or maybe Row Thisone is from Mistborne It's a letter from Kelsier

A year and a half ago I think, one of my best friends and I were talking about starting to read Brandon, he had already read the first part of msitborne, elantris and warbreaker. Unfortunately I didn't have enough money to buy the books and in my country it is quite difficult to get books at a good price, they are very expensive. Being the great guy he is, he lent me all of them, one at a time, starting with Elantris, then Msitborne and then Warbreaker. After a few months I was finally able to buy the way of kings but only that one, so he lent me words of radiance. After quite a bit of effort I was able to buy Oathbringer and from there I was finally able to start with the cosmere, mistborne era 2, RoW and the secret projects. I was even able to give him a copy of The sunlitman! in addition to the arcanum It was very helpful in a very bad time and today those books and the talks we have were one of the best. Truly a great friend And very evil too, now I can't leave the cosmere, yes, it was part of his plan

I haven't lost for about a month, I think, and this is haunting me here.... my torment doesn't end.

A difficult one to answer, there are too many good options! BioChromatic Breath has intrigued me a lot since Warbreaker and I feel like we saw so little of it. I was left with the desire and with a lot of curiosity since. It's funny, I just remembered that the breaths along with the feruchemy are the only End-neutral Investiture. And they can even be used together very well now that I think about it!

Nice to meet you Scars of Hathsin! If it had to be one difficult, very difficult. If it were a mix it would be easier, something from Dalinar, with a good and generous touch of rock and for my misfortune a sassy touch of shallan (or kal?) In the best of the senses. Or let's leave it at rock, rock is great,I wish I could cook like him . And how about you, which character would you be?

Hi Aeternum nice to meet you! Nobody had warned me about the cookies, I will keep that in mind thanks! How about you, what is your favorite magic system?

Local swordsman steals (earns) fortune in dead swords, I can imagine it. You can even move kingdoms and do it there... I highly doubt that they will not recognize you or try to annihilate you in this case Ah, the good breakers of the sky, I find it quite interesting, perhaps perhaps the sons of honor were also there, "recovering material resources" throughout these years, I would opt more for the only order that survived.

Well, it is a somewhat complicated question, we do not know the details of the breaking of their oaths or how this specifically affected them beyond what we see.Since we are on topic here I will speak with spoilers but be careful. Spoilers!!!!! from RoW Maya's case is different because of the bond she has with Adolin, but it is something extremely rare, since thanks to that she recovers some reason. In shadesmear Spren can think like humans, but in the physical realm they need a nahel bond, We could say that by breaking the oaths the damage went much further than what happened to Syl. For example. talking about the Deadeye We could say that when the "connection" with his radiant was damaged, his "identity" was also damaged. If it is a 4th or a 5th oath, the link is very strong (so strong that not even a fabrial can interfere with it) I would personally say that his spirit web is only one in the 5th which would make the damage make sense. I also have to add that their sword form in which they are stuck is how they were after breaking their oaths, that is the "physical" form, let's say, of the investiture. And from coppermind I hope it helps!

It would be very interesting. I don't have the appointment at hand, forgive me, as soon as I find it or the pertinent information I will bring it. I don't know if it's a spoiler but keep in mind that you should know about mistborne and shadows for silence. Well to express my point let's have the shades of Threnody, When you are touched and infected with withering there are few things that can help you, like silver usually. but also making use of gold Feruchemy can heal withering, as well as burning aluminum. Using aluminum and duralumin you could heal from very serious injuries of this type or even instantly. Speculating a little more, we could even cure damage to your spirit web or the loss of a limb damaged by a Shardblade. I hope I have helped!

As they told you recently, there shouldn't be a problem. You can have as many as you want or rather you can. At first they are extremely valuable even more than the shardplate. The way of kinds quoting sadeas: If you could afford it somehow, sure. Or if you're skilled enough to win them in duels or the battlefield.

Hi and thank you very much for the welcome. I had not noticed! (). Yes, I'm from here, the land of expensive books, as I say. It's funny, I really like fantasy but I had never read as much as when I got to the cosmere, I was always more into Stephen King, Lovecraft, etc. So when it comes to magic, I'm fascinated by how Brandon does it. I really like Surgebinding, the more I analyze it, the more depth and options I find. Also allomancy but a little more ferruchemy, I find it very enjoyable and easy to imagine, like when someone is tapping strength. And the BioChromatic Breath is also very curious to me, it has many uses that I would still be fascinated to see. Thanks for the response! and tell me which ones are your favorites, one you want to see more of?

Thank you very much! It's one of my first posts and I didn't really know how to edit everything. I am correcting it. I also made a mistake, this should be in the general cosmere forum, I realized it a while ago and asked the mods for a solution. I didn't remember the detail, I would certainly have to add it to the post, it is very important Certainly, not having a physical body as such shouldn't represent real harm. What is not clear to me is why the positive part cannot be benefited, I understand the point I think, then directly by not having the string I could not pass any of the effects? if it directly affects the spirit web. Thank you very much for the contribution and advice! They help a lot and tell me anything else you want to contribute?

Reading about the topic and I would like to take it back. I found many interesting points on the subject. (SPOILERS) first a brief explication https://coppermind.net/wiki/Savant *For example, we have seen the savantism of the powers in the interludes of Kaza without going any further, at least in terms of the soulcast. What other interesting effects would they have, for example cohesion? Theoretically, it couldn't "soften" the physical form of the user, being so invested or being the same, could it? What if it were something more violent as a division? Stormlight Spoilers! Warbreaker Spoilers! *Now a cognitive shadow savant? possible, we have the heralds as an example and the good Zahel. Take the heralds, theoretically and taking into account the years they spent fighting using their surges it is possible that they could be savants, perhaps honor or his blades protect them from the negative effects of their extreme use, such as the Nahel bond to the radiants. I found some questions asked to Brandon on the subject, I leave them below https://wob.coppermind.net/events/431/#e14008 https://wob.coppermind.net/events/36/#e1557 I hope you leave your opinions on the subject, I am really very interested in knowing your opinions on how the surges that we do not physically know would manifest themselves. Greetings, have a good day!

Interesting, let's see I'm going to keep my opinion concise. *At the point where the fifth ideal is sworn the spirit of the human and the spren unite in one. Understanding that they are still two separate entities but their spirit web unites, making it impossible to break their bond, externally at least? Being able to speak telepathically without limitations or separate as far as they want, without, for example, Syl losing her consciousness. (Thisone is cool) *The use of stormlight is much more precise. You can correct me but it seems to me that beyond practice the use of lstormlight is either less or much more precise as ideals are sworn. I know that for example if you use an honor blade if you use more stormlight than with a nahel bond. *They can make use of the true power of their surges, like humans in ancient times. Very interesting since they alone will destroy their world, so in terms of power it sounds curious, we already saw, for example, what an unleashed bondsmith can do on a small scale when Ishar fought. Or for example Jasna, at least she must be in the fourth oath, right? Look what she does with Soulcasting alone, it's scary. *Better use of his Shardblade or Shardplate? This could be depending on the user and how complex what they want to create is, but the fifth ideal can make it easier. *Resonance between the surges? something new? *Manifest a spren physically? I highly doubt it, but something close. *A personal expression of the power of both, like a resonance but more like somthing new. *Decide who will be your squire. (a fun one). *Perceive better colors, tones? being that it handles high levels of investiture, perhaps the same thing happens as with Breaths. *Manifest the fabrial associated with their Surges? like windrunners with Windspren Do they make a fabrial that changes, for example, the atmospheric pressure and attaches it to its armor? (interesting) All this is a practical and tangible use. It could go to something more about self-knowledge, goals, the individuality of those linked, or their values. But let's leave it like this to keep the topic in line, if you like I could elaborate on this more! For now it's my contribution, I hope you like it

What's up folks, I'm Alastor im from Argentina. A few months ago I joined the forum after finishing Rhythm of War. I've only been reading Sanderson for a year and a half and it's a totally new experience. There is no name for what I have enjoyed all of this and much more reading the forum posts. My favourite books are Oathbringer, words of radiance. I still have to read Mistborn era 2 (only read alloy of law) and the secret projects. I really like this community, so far everyone is very kind and with very good theories

I took the test about four times and most of them came out in Bondsmith, I thought I was more of a wind runner, but oh well. Followed closely by Windrunner and Stoneward. It's very interesting, I thought there would be more dustbringers. A few friends took the test for fun and we have very varied results. Two Windrunners, one Truthwatcher, one Stoneward and a Willshaper

Hi, I literally made an account on the forum to answer this. If you allow me the contribution. My contribution is about the Dustbringers and their ideals. For the third and taking into account the second (self-mastery), the most natural path seems to me to be knowing your strengths, weaknesses and limitations, what is improving but knowing yourself at these levels? If I remember correctly, they get their second power at the same level as the Skybreakers, so it makes sense that they would have to have extensive knowledge of themselves in order to use their powers. What would come next? You can be responsible for your capabilities and what to do with them. But for an order that enjoys separating and disassembling things, which is not a bad thing in itself. Now for oaths four and five, this disposition and guard, within the "obedient" quality. It is more complicated, we can refer to the specific use of abilities, for what purpose, for whom, for what reason, since they already have their abilities, they should use them for a greater good, that is, for someone else. It could be something like: "I will put the best of me at the service of others" The fifth is even more complicated to fit, but since it refers to “guard”. What would it be protecting? I will think about it more thoroughly, for now I like to think that the ultimate ideal is to help others progress, after the arduous path of personal growth, of the lessons learned, what better than sharing it, than setting an example, giving being Something like: “We can be better, I will be the example of change that I want to see” or maby with other context "I will bring out the best of you" - "we will bring out the best of you" Finally, I would qualify the “obedient” part with a little “courage.” *Obedience does not necessarily imply a lack of decision making. Sometimes it takes courage to make difficult decisions and obey a set of principles or values even when the easier option might be to deviate. *Obedience can be based on trust and respect for an authority or set of rules that are considered fair. In such cases, courage can be manifested by trusting those rules and obeying them even in difficult circumstances. *Sometimes obedience can require courage to be authentic and true to oneself. This might involve communicating honestly when you disagree or when an action goes against your values. I really liked your post! It's a lot of effort and I hope my contribution helps you. I hope you add the missing oaths and if my contribution helps you, how would you interpret them. My English is not very good but I hope I made myself understood.
