Cerulean

Thanks! That clears it up.

So originally, when I was reading mistborn, the first cosmere book I read, I knew that there was a larger universe with shards and stuff (I watched a video about adonalsium and the shattering and all that stuff), I assumed that metals were unique in their properties to scadrial, and then I started reading Stormlight and realized that metals were crucial to fabrials, also metals such as iron, steel have properties in Tress. Do we have a specific reason that metals have such an effect throughout the cosmere? Metals aren’t inherently invested or anything so why are they so important?

Nah, Brandon gonna write 4 books a year. All jokes aside, this proves my point because is he really gonna live long enough to finish everything he wants to do and then write a cosmere finale? It’s possible but seems unlikely.

Oh I’m such a goof I just realized the blood! Thanks

I don’t quite understand what you mean by the end of the series because idk if Brandon is planning to merge all series but you can’t have Adonalsium rebirth until you wrap up every single other cos mere book/storylines and even then Brandon might want to write other books in the cosmere. It’s a possibility that other books occur with adonalsium alive… but shards conflicting is more interesting

When Shallan fought Abidi and used substantiation to stab him, who did she use Testament or Pattern? Cant tell

Ah, so because people dont understand the amount of space in between planets its shortened. And the inversion is just the nature of shadesmar. i hope Brandon gives us more lore and information on shadesmar, not to say he hasn't.

Personally I would not read Mistborn era two directly after era 1 My order, which i enjoyed a ton was: Mistborn era 1 warbreaker elantris (+ emperors soul) era 2 stormlight then you can read anything else in any order imho

So in Shadesmar, on Roshar the cognitive realm is sort of an inverted version of physical i.e the land being beads "sea" and sea in physical being land in Shadesmar. tell me if Im wrong im not totally sure. On Scadrial i would guess instead of beads "gemstones" it would be mist, so would the land be mist and sea be land? Is that a correct statement. Shadesmar is confusing. I also don't understand if its based on perception no person perceives land as sea and sea as land so i Don't quite understand.

Thanks alot btw just realized the smiley faces conversion is great

Sorry, I haven’t been on here for a while and I’m dumb but can’t find the compendium?(idk what to call it) Thanks! Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sorry, I wasn’t aware that reviving old posts are against the rules, tbh, I’m just looking for interesting topics to share my ideas on. Sorry about the confusion with gold healing, for some reason I thought that having a spike in you would tear of a piece of you spiritweb, but I guess it’s just pinning another soul onto yours. I’m really sorry I’m just new and still learning the rules of the forums so please forgive me.

I think that depending on where the spike is placed, you would stay human. If not, because of the massive influx of abilities, you might be overwhelmed and become a hemalurgic construct. About burning a hemalurgically charged Peice of lerasium, it’s possible you might gain all abilities, albeit of a lower level, than become a lerasium mist born.

I’m pretty sure that while regrowth and stormlight healing are physical as well as spiritual healing, F gold is purely physical, seeing as someone who is hemalurgically spiked can use gold. This introduces an interesting paradox seeing as someone hemalurgically spiked could use stormlight, therefore pushing out the spike and killing themselves. With regrowth and stormlight healing it’s about how you see your self. For example, Rysn legs didn’t heal because she saw herself as disabled, but Lopen still saw himself with a right arm. hope this answers your question. For how gold would stall or limit regrowth, I’m not sure

Another question about this topic, could storing too much investiture potentially make you lose some innate investiture, and become a drab? Or… well something like that

Yeah like Treamayne said I think it might have to do with adding context to why you would have changed, and maybe the different choices you made to further become the split person you see as your gold shadow. Ofc you might fry your brain too, but I think that the incredible rush of knowledge or whatever might not affect you, seeing as things like storing feruchemical heat, or storing weight doesn’t put pressure on your organs, I think that invested arts hurt/apply to you less or not at all compared to actual scientific processes.

Oh sorry I didn’t see the previous comment

Thanks! Ill remember that in the future!

how long have you been on the forums and how long does it take to build high reputation? is it purely just if people like your stuff alot, or does it truly depend on how long you've been on the site just wondering!

Weird idea, could luhel bonds have some connection to how powerful allomancers take control of hemalurgic constructs due to the holes in their spirit web? .

yeah great ideas here, i think that Harmony is two shards held by one vessel working together, but not merged, and this also may have to do with everyone still thinking of harmony as two shards, but i also think that maybe the intent of the shards are not merging because of the differently aligned intents.

I am pretty confident that by removing the chimera spikes, you would kill them, because of how twisted their soul/mind has become. Koloss would probably have a few moments of sentience then die, due to their stretched skin, enlarged muscles, loss of iq, stuff like that. then obviously kandra would lose sentience. I think that not only does it matter the number of spikes, but also their placement, as we can see, chimera have three spikes, the same as any human with three spikes, with a lot less sanity. This is a theory, but if a koloss had access to spiritual healing via stormlight or regrowth, their spirit web overtime could slowly heal, and revert back to a human.(assuming thats how they see themselves) not sure about inquistors, because they have spikes in the same places as koloss and chimeras but possibly due to having even more spikes, they gain even more sanity? albeit deranged sanity. Not sure about this but chimeras also have trellium spikes i think? or maybe not. not sure if autonomy would give up more of her body

Im not sure actually if a gold healing savant would survive a beheading. I think that perhaps the sword/axe/etc would start cutting through, but the head would attach back to the neck before fully being separated from the body.

i think, basing off of what we've seen, Duralumin would burn before the aluminum, increasing the strength of the aluminum, and would heal you from withering from shades as Alabastor said. We dont really have enough info because aluminum and duralumin were not widely accessible, and then era 2 without hemalurgy, there are practically no mistborn, so no experimenting with 2 metals. hope that answers your question!
