I'm almost certain this idea has been done before, but I couldn't find anything posted here. Please note that this is a rough chart and not in any way definitive; it is a personal interpretation of how I think Shard Combination would work. All shards within a white box are a combo I see as being plausible. All Shards within a black box are double combos: doesn't count Grey boxes indicate Shards that would have extreme difficulty mixing. Pink boxes indicate Shard combos we know are canon. Green boxes indicate Shard combos that are possibly canon or could become canon. Blue boxes are not real Shards. They are my guess as to the sixteenth Shard and its respective combinations. I am aware that there may be inconsistencies with my logic. This is highly opinionated. However, I thought it would be beneficial to share it. If you have any questions, ask! If you have corrections, also ask! I am here to serve.

Shardcast is still waiting for the Ultra Legendary Leatherbound Dragonsteel Exclusive Secret Version Anniversary Edition with Metal Cover Inlay and Original Illustrations to come out.

Most people don't like characters because of how they act. I don't like characters because of why they act. And so, Lanfear is my least favorite.

We learn that as far as Ta'veren go, Rand is the one. Artur Hawkwing was an enormously powerful Ta'veren, but it states in the books that Rand is stronger. Afterwards, Rand demonstrates that inexplicable ability to light his pipe with a mere thought. I'm sure that this topic has been bled dry BUT i'm opening it back up anyway! I propose that Rand has become so strongly Ta'veren that he can simply will the threads of the Pattern to flow in a way he pleases. I believe he as gained this power by being offered infinite power but rejecting it (When he destroyed the Choeden Khal) being offered the oblivion of nonexistence (Suicide) but choosing life, and by deciding to progress and try again. Then, once the Creator saw that he would never abuse infinite power, he just got it anyway. A little job perk for saving the WHOLE STORMING PATTERN. Anyway, does anyone have any thoughts about this topic? Why do YOU think it happened? Do you think Rand can just control the Pattern now? Let's discuss! Delightfully perplexed, the Ultimate Archivist.

I say this half jokingly and half seriously; Ender Wiggin. If he had enough time to prepare, he's the smartest military genius I've ever seen. He could most likely figure out some way. Especially if he has access to all of Earth's and the Buggers' resources. But if you just put them in a room together, yeah, there's no contest. Maybe Loki from Marvel's Loki could do it?

The Lord Ruler was once a beloved cartoon ogre, which explains his super strength before the Ascension. However, he used hemalurgy to change to a human when he Ascended, then formed Feruchemy and Allomancy to throw off the trail.

Oh, yes. I continue to forget that the Cosmere and the real world differ in vital ways. I keep trying to apply real world principles to a similar, though fundamentally different, sphere. You will have to forgive me; I will cull down those errors.

I provide a second opinion. As a current chemistry student, an Oxidation-Reduction reaction is indeed a chemical change, redirecting the formal charge of the constituent particles, affecting which bonds they can form in the future. Color is a property of chemistry; depending on the structure of the measured particles, different forms of light can be absorbed, reflected, and emitted. A chemical change would certainly effect the color of a material. Sorry, @Treamayne. It is my duty to support fact. With simultaneous approval and apologies, the Ultimate Archivist.

Welcome to our haven of scholarship and knowledge. What is your preferred medium of information?

As we well know, no story is ever complete without the circumstances that give it context. I wholeheartedly approve.

We REALLY don't want Dalinar to die, because if he does, it will be in the Constest of Champions, and then Dalinar would be Odium's champion forever. Which would be terrifying. Really don't want that to happen.

I like this, especially considering that the Spren are a part of the natural world and the Radiants owe their power to the Spren and the Surges, the natural laws that govern reality. Certainly things to think about.

@Trusk'our, Know that I support your premise. While the applications of Lerasium do have a much broader range, future sight grants knowledge. Knowledge grants preparation. And preparation saves lives. To seek knowledge is a worthy goal, and Atium supports that cause. Sadly, as I am only a Lurcher, I would not be able to use Atium, so I would have to choose Lerasium. But I understand and emphasize with your stance.

In all honesty, I've read every single book Brandon has ever written, and I still don't consider myself a Sanderfan. You're in good company.

Wise man. I, myself, am a weirdo that hungered for the old days. I play unmodded backloaded 1.2.3 because I like the interface way better. Call me silly. Oh. And Xbox 360 Skyrim Wizard only run. I'm nostalgic.

An old and nostalgic favorite, "Tasell" by C418 from the Minecraft creative soundtrack. That and the rest of the second update album makes my soul beg for past times and grander ascensions to come.

Well, Marsh has lived for several hundred years now. Is there any reason he couldn't have done in depth study of his condition in all of that time? He is also Harmony's agent when it comes to dealing with Hemalurgists.

C17H35COONa + Being = 1(C6H10O5) I have become one with a stick on the chemical level.

Oh dear. I even researched this, as I was sure I had heard something about it before, but found nothing. Please, forgive me. I was... relatively certain.

Ah! I like that too!

Ah. So not a no, but simply not enough information. I see.

Do Ryshadium have gemhearts? He have heard of their stone hooves and their strength; seeming adaptions to the beautiful tempest that is Roshar. But we also have heard of them bonding spren, musicspren specifically. Do these spren reside in a gemheart like they would in Singers, or are Ryshadium too closely related to humans to have gemhearts? The Ultimate Archivist
