Thank you, and yes I didn't think about Nightblood but you're right. Back to the topic: You're right. Nightblood isn't the planet killer, this is kind of why I got caught up in this. This wouldn't be a big bang catastrophe, but a slow accidental destruction. They might even complain that this isn't "destroying evil" but a mechanical oddity. The adding of spores is also a slow process, but of course spread over the planet. One thing that sticks out is So the rate of aether spore production would also decrease as a their spores were consumed without being allowed to sprout and propagate. Whether that's still faster than Nightbloods investiture drain is a good question. My final counter is: it took killing a vessel to get to this level of fullness. At the very least one aether would wither as a result

I was hit by a stray thought while reading. Wondering if B-Money has commented on this, or if my understanding is flawed. My theory is that Nightblood could have potentially world-ending consequences, if they were thrown into the Lumar spore seas. It is unlikely that it would drain all the seas immediately. Brandon has mentioned the investiture food-coma before, however Nightblood isn't going anywhere, and we know that they'll be hungry again at some point. Furthermore, it seems that no Lumarians have the technology to dive down and get it up once it sunk to the bottom(disregarding the known world hoppers) The only thing that seems to speak against this is whether Nightblood can access the investiture. We know it doesn't have to be kinetic, but potential investiture is still kind of vague PS: Obviously not all of the seas would be gone
