Through the Living Heir

Ok, great. While tapping duralumin, Tondon gains increased ironsight range, and while storing, it's decreased.

Thank you! Time to follow this and get like 50 notifications tomorrow.

Tondon is an iron-duralumin twinborn. The blue iron lines that show up when he burns iron are actual things in the spiritual realm, and some WoBs I'm to lazy to look up right now say that shardblades can cut them, and that they can otherwise be manipulated. Because tapping a duraluminmind causes increase in connection, I think it should do something like extend the ironsight's range or empower pull velocity, but I'm not entirely sure which, so I thought I'd ask a GM, for balance purposes.

There's a chat thread? Can I have it? Also, character related question; what happens to iron lines if I tap or store connection? There seems to be nothing canon about it, but I'd like Tondon to have a twinborn resonance (I guess it's actually a power combo).

Maybe? I think Sanderson books and the 17th shard attract a specific personality type with common interests. I've encountered several people in real life who are basically just me (Or maybe I'm basically them), so finding another one online is likely. So you see, dragons live a long time. I think I may be 1/4294967296th dragon, which leaves me pretty much human. (I literally have no idea when I started using dragonheir as my username for everything, or why. I blame unsealed copperminds.)

Ok. Understood.

Ok, that sounds good. Do we start with equipment?

Hello! I'm new to the shard (I was directed here by Ancient Elantrien, who responded to my introduction post), but not to Sanderson or roleplaying games, so this sounds fun. How does fighting and the like get resolved? Do we roll dice, argue with one another to convince a GM, or something I haven't though of?

Probably a decent amount. I don't really know how much it weighs, but if I have cheese nachos for lunch, I believe I usually eat around two cups of cheese sauce. A RAFO. I think Brandon signs those sometimes. Maybe Invention? I like building things, but another shard might fit better. We'd need to get the multi-sentence intent descriptions for each one for me to decide for sure.

Am I coming to them, or are they coming to me? I'd probably just use the time to figure out the answers to RAFO questions. Hoid, if he would tell me anything, or Kriss, or Navani, or somebody who makes the Malwish-tech, or TLR (if he wouldn't kill me on the spot), or Dusk, or whoever knows the other six lumar spores, or a shard. Sazed is a nice person, who gives good advice, and Wayne would be fun to talk to, and would make a day way longer than it would otherwise. I could try spending a day with the Nightwatcher for the boon (the ability to go to and from the Cosmere whenever I want) and maybe a Radiant bond. Basically, I can't choose (but I want magic, information, or both). Said story also has a Phonomancer in it. Resonant frequencies, shock-waves, ambient music, and destructive interference are fun powers.

Thank you! It's nice to meet you.

Thanks!

Sounds interesting. Can I have a link? What's it charged with? I'll probably just measure the investiture weight and decay. Chronomancy is fun. One of the characters in a story I never got around to writing can jump back in time about ten seconds at a time to protect or warn their past self. There's some magic stuff that lets them avoid causing paradoxes. Actual precognition and time slowing are also handy. What about you?

Thank you! It's nice to meet you. Does Urithiru count? After RoW, it seems like a safe location to be, and I could meet all the main characters, as well as do some fabrial research. I'd try to get answers to all the RAFO questions about them, and maybe even help the main characters by inventing bendalloy fabrials or something. It's nice to meet you! Thank you! I'll probably join an SE game at some point. Roleplaying might have some lore for me to learn before it join that, though. Thank you! Thanks! I'll take your cookie. What kind is it? The spike's metal, I mean. You're not fooling me. But a chance to calculate investiture density is a good opportunity.

Hi Everybody! I'm Dragonheir, pronouns he him, and I'm new to the shard (as this thread may indicate). It'd be nice if there was a template or something, but I'll do my best. I'm as high-schooler, and have been reading Brandon Sanderson for several years. I read Rithmatist in a library, then Reckoners, but the Stormlight Archive was what caused me to become really interested in his books. In the last six months or so, I've read the standalone cosmere books, and a this point am only missing the Alcatrez series, Perfect State, and maybe a non-cosmere short story or two. I recently found the shard attempting to figure out whether shardplate was waterproof or not, and I must have read half the in-depth theories and coppermind pages by now, as well as many WOBs. I'm beginning to think that a certain Stormlight character must have made a couple dozen shard accounts on a particular plot-related day. I'm somewhat of a procrastinator, demonstrated by the fact that I read more cosmere theories instead of writing this introduction last month. I have a layman's understanding of many science and physics concepts, and enjoy reading fantasy and sci-fi, (Sanderson has raised my standards a bit, as several other people on here have complained), as well as spending hours worldbuilding something I'll never get around to writing. At least initially, I'll probably spend my time here thinking of ways to exploit the magic systems (Sanderson typically makes that hard to do), reading and commenting on other people's theories, and maybe writing my own. Who knows, maybe I'll even join the roleplaying or Sanderson elimination forums. I like playing D&D, and I'm also on the D&DBeyond forums, although I've become inactive as of late, due to reading 17th shard stuff (Whatever Kabsal bets with to you if you can guess my username there). I've also been meaning to check out the MAG, but haven't done so yet. There's some Shard customs I've yet to understand, such as [adjective or profession] ! [character] and whatever espousing a theory is supposed to mean, so it'd be nice if somebody helped me with that. I'll take a cookie, but there's no way I'm gonna fall for the hidden spike trick and eat it. Maybe I can find something else to do with it... Anyway, I ran out of things to say, so I'll stop now. A preemptive nice to meet you to everybody. -Dragonheir
