Arcanist Lupus

I recently realized how similar the name Adonalsium is to the Hebrew words "Adon Olam", which is one of the names for God in Judaism, and can be roughly translated as "Master of the Universe". Thoughts?

Stumped it with Atticus O'Sullivan, the Iron Druid, and Mykkael from To Ride Hell's Chasm. Edit: Couldn't get Bazil Broketail or the Elephant's Child either.

Long list of questions for Brandon There will be somemany spoilers there if you haven't read all of the Cosmere books, but it makes a good place to start.

I like the idea, but I think I would prefer to see more details - emphasize how different and strange the hallucinations are.

That was the rumor, but I don't think that was actually ever the plan.

So excited! My only problem with the trailer is that I've listened to the music so many times that my brain starts playing "lovely ladies" as soon as it ends.

Hooray! You picked a better time to quit than my grandmother did. She had a heart attack, and when the paramedics asked if she smoked, she replied "Not anymore." They said, "That's good! When did you quit?" "The moment I felt the pain." And she never smoked again.

I'd like to clarify that we don't know for certain that they are working towards a Mistborn breeding program. It seems likely, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. Other than that, this sums up what we've seen so far pretty well.

Ouch! I am once again glad I live in Southern California.

I wonder if you can Soothe a baby before it's born? If you can, what kind of an effect would it have on the baby?

I remember World History. It and English Lit were the most boring of all my AP tests (and I took quite a few).

I think we could make a case for Wax and Wayne as Hawkeye and Black Widow. Wax has improbable aiming skills and awesome bullets, like Hawkeye's improbable aiming skills and awesome arrows, and Wayne is a master of hand-to-hand combat and stealth (well, disguise). True, they both have magical abilities, but compared to Rand they're practically normal.

The problem with this is that if this is the case, then it is either one of the known elements, (although maybe not known on Sel), or it has an atomic number of over 118. And the most noticeable physical property of elements in that row of the periodic table have they aren't very stable stable at all. Actually, though, this could explain a lot - Atium is held together using Ruin's energy, which allows it to be stable even when by all rights it should be exploding. Incidentally, this would mean that if Ruin's energy was ever removed from Atium (which is what Ruin was presumably trying to do), it would cause the world's most terrifying nuclear explosion, and probably demolish the planet. Which is one more reason Ruin wanted his Atium back. I still support the "Atium isn't matter" theory (if anybody's read the short story Microcosmic God, I think it's kind of like the impenetrable shield at the end, and if you haven't read the story, you should. It's great.) but I must admit that Atium could work as an element.

Good luck! I'm sorry. What happened?

If the Catquisitors are canonized, does that mean they will be Saint Catquisitors?

I would like to announce that this semester I have made over 1,464 little paper stars. Isn't college great?

You forgot me! I was also 19 yesterday.

or tries to, anyway.

I was on a similar search, and yet all I could find was a drink that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

It could be that burning speed, and thus power derived from metal, depends on the mass of the person. This doesn't really make sense, but I could see the argument being made for some weird subconscious limitation. Again, I'm not saying this is plausible, I'm just throwing it out there so that someone can maybe turn it into a plausible theory.

I would like to announce that being sick during finals is terrible. At least I haven't missed any finals because of it.

If you heat up Atium enough, will it melt into shardpool liquid?

I was trying to say that even before alloying Atium with other metals, you'd be unlikely to find a noble gas with a metal lattice. Sorry if I was being needlessly ambiguous.

Next month meaning May 1st, May 15th, or May 31st? I can't wait!

Heck - it's a solid. If it were noble gas, that would be rather difficult at room temperature. Maybe echo isn't the right word, but the idea was that Atium belongs in the Spiritual Realm, and in the Physical Realm it manifests as something that looks like matter, but isn't, 'cause it's spiritual.
