I think the two biggest factors against ruin just smiting someone are, first as quianweilian said Ati sees what he does as an inevitabillity and a kindness, he would not see the need or the desire to smite someone and literally up to the moment vin lost her earstud, he was winning Second ruin wasn't a solo shard on the planet and a large factor we have learnt from the stormlight archive is that actions as a shard can lead you to be vulnerable to other shards, ie preservation

Okay... But you understand that isn't an argument? Like you're not referring to any proof or quote from the book while there are multiple pieces of clear evidence that suggests the easiest answer is immigration from roshir by the Iriali. I get you don't want that to be the direction the story takes but it's fairly clear.
-
So your explanation against the roshiran people fleeing ending up on Scadrial and the emergence of roshiran food appearing on Scadrial ...Is the idea that food from roshiran was brought to Scadrial to be canned... Something that would require the free movement of people between Roshiran and Scadrial... You're a genius, you've convinced me /s

Wind and Truth was just too darn sad.
LeondeBowa replied to Aliroz-The-Confused's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Rereading w&t, an early discussion between Wit and Kaladin is about the passions, and the inbuilt belief that your wishing for something will make it true. Wit derides this as a delusion and fantasy, I can't help but see the people in this threads clinging to oaths and what they MEAN in the story as very similar to people clinging to the Passion's. I think Sanderson has been very clever in his writing here and the reaction from some of the fans shows this. -
That's a point, what's going to happen with Gavinor now?
-
I mean, a relationship with taln isn't impossible at this point, it could happen in the back 5. I think that relationship would be too close to old thought patterns for the new jasnah, too much temptation to let old thoughts take precident again

Leaving a kid with Taraviangian, doesn't sound like a path that will lead to a well adjusted being...

I'm talking WOB, he mentioned in one of his interviews Hoid was very interested in worlds advancing in technology and until they can create pot noodle, as Good was obsessed with the food. The way it was phrased implied no world had reached that level yet and Scadrial was the one that was closest. I realised the fragmented nature of the series makes the question difficult but WOB seems to be implying Hoid has outside knowledge.
-
So Hoid is aware of modern level technology or at least something similar. According to the info I've seen all civilisations that have existed up to 1900 technology, and the stuff I've read for Hoids home planet under Adonalsium, suggests that was a world at most in the middle ages. How does he know of these things?
-
I'd love an explanation other than immigrants fleeing for the emergance of roshiran food in wax and wayne
-
So I think the actual answer is the one paying the most attention to you at that moment. These things are all Godzilla, it doesn't matter if it's a nice Godzilla, your city is still getting destroyed.

General Relativity and Anti-investiture
LeondeBowa replied to Hovestol's topic in Cosmere Discussion
So it's explained in WaT anti-investiture isn't a complete opposite of the investiture, it's just at the correct wavelength to disrupt the investiture and cause an explosion. The thing you're asking about, I think would be possible but I don't think you'd use anti-investiture to do it -
Maybe it would be more accurate to say beings made of investiture are bound to the things they are connected to? This is usually their shard or their system, but if they can build a stronger connection to something else and that moves then they can move with it. This would mean that Thaidakars problem is he has bound himself too strongly to Scadrial and as he sees his companions as agents, he cannot build a strong enough connection to move away from the system
-
I don't remember him being bound, do you have a quote? If he is harmony being invested isn't enough, honour/cultivation/odium were bound by the deal between honour and odium, not their investment in roshar. This ended when danar as honour revoked his oaths
-
Haven't you just recreated wax and Wayne?
-
I realise it doesn't really answer your question, but I think they will return either start book 6, end book 6 or mid book 7. I think the trigger will be a change in the nature of the conflict. Possibly the start of the war with the other shards, a point that retribution is too committed to the fight and cannot spare the effort to reabsorb the spren. Possibly someone on world will call them back
-
I don't think the 50 something year old with a revolver is really going to be that big a factor in the next stage of the conflict imo I am being flippant, but wax and whayne have always been more useful as investigators than powerhouses (though they could do that too). If you are expecting wax to be able to fight on par with the people from the super magic war world you're not really being realistic
-
I would assume he has the same problem nomad had. The dawnshards has altered his being fundamentally and so he cannot hurt people.
-
I think this will be part of the explanation for the emergence of new magic in book 6, the binding will have surpressed other forms of magic, the "old magic", which will become more useful and be essential to the fight moving forward
-
Violet in the colour spectrum is blue and red. Red is the colour of stolen investiture. If I remember correctly blue is the colour of stormlight. Maybe using stormlight in a way it's shard Retribution does not like counts as stealing?
-
We know from other books that sliver is like aluminium but rather than blocking invested things it destroys them. I have a theory that if a mistborn tried to burn silver they would be killed, as the pull action would be for the sliver to kill them as they are invested. Which would explain why the metal was not discovered in the first ages and the LR would likely not reveal it as it is too powerful for such a common metal. I am interested in the idea that there exists an alloy of silver with the equivalent push which would allow a mistborn or misting to kill or destroy invested beings. WDYT?
-
I think your making an assumption that the dawnshards are somehow obvious, we have no evidence that that is true. It could be that when they have a host the dawnshards is "hidden" by the body it is implanted in and is not obvious. Hoid read as more worried about the shard once he is killed by retribution imo
-
The sheath becoming part of nightblood when partdrawn and can be used as a conduit of it's power The annotations to chapter 41 of warbreaker Maybe it would be more accurate to say the aluminiums properties are being circumvented?
-
Huh, is this a case of aluminiums anti-magic properties being overwhelmed? I can't think of examples of that happening so far...

Kelsier's Decension? Is Harmony "wrong"?
LeondeBowa replied to Qianweilian's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Maybe but the shattering of vertuosity happened long before the creation of the thing that caused the story in yumi which happened long before the time the story took place. Soz if that doesn't make sense trying to speak around spoilers Basically I mean that the shattering of vertuosity could have happened before WaT
