So theory, very speculation. Wow. *ahem* A bit of clarification: Could you take a bunch of metal (say about a few cubic inches, I don't know, I'm bad at math) and condense it to about something the size of a pill, a la black hole (I don't know, I'm bad at science too)?

I am irrationally happy about this, and I have no idea why.

Sazed?

Just wondering: To avoid consuming annoying amounts of metal, could you take a bunch of flakes or something and condense them into something pill-like? Sure would remove the bother of scratchy metal dust or hard to swallow chunks. EDIT: A bit of clarification: Could you take a bunch of metal (say about a few cubic inches, I don't know, I'm bad at math) and condense it to about something the size of a pill, a la black hole (I don't know, I'm bad at science too)?

If this has been pointed out elsewhere, ignore me. But if not, then I found a cool thing. Yay! Also, potential spoilers below. Caveat lector. ~ So it appears that the Lightweavers, with their "strange and varied mnemonic abilities," (WoR p. 566, Kindle edition) weren't the only ones with extra perks granted via Nahel bond that don't involve spren or Surges (assuming that the enhanced memory is indeed caused by that). Reference chapter 55's epigraph (WoR p. 636, Kindle edition): Never tells us what they're freakishly good at, does it? But I noticed that the page referenced sounded familiar. In the previous chapter, that same page of Words of Radiance is referenced. It says: This seems to imply that the Skybreakers have an unusual ability to distinguish between those who are guilty and those who are innocent. Fitting, as the Skybreakers put the law above all else.

Storm. It. All. That's probably it.

Aon Dor and that creepy Dakhor monk magic?

Even though I myself hang around the Dark Alley sometimes, the reactions of everyone here disturb me greatly.

I don't know. I'd love to do that myself, actually. Also, hope you like it here. Utah's a great place, even if winter isn't a thing right now.

When you repeatedly use Shards and Cosmere stuff in church and seminary. Just today, in fact, I mentioned Ruin and his shenanigans to my seminary teacher after class.

Reminds me of how in Jasnah's POV from the Stormlight 3 excerpt on tor, (tagged in case anyone hasn't read it)

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Wax looks like Tome Cruise. Not really how I pictured Marasi, but... dang. I really love this cover! Can't wait 'till October.

Eh... sell. The Doctor's gonna show up at some point, cameo-style. (Please, Mr. Sanderson, let this one be true...)

@Lindel: Glad you enjoyed it! I can't remember if I was intentionally going for a Nightblood vibe or not, but yes, the two are similar! I suppose it does rather seem like his eyes are covered in blankets. Huh. @ChullRider: Thanks! Publishing, though... perhaps once I've written more short stories, I can publish a collection. We'll see.

Welcome! Have and upvote and a delicious cookie. If you enjoyed WoT, check out the Stormlight Archive. Similar size, epicness, and all. Or, if you're burned out on 1,000+ page novels for the next year, Mistborn would be a good choice.

Iiintereeesting... I know there are Allomantic savants: people who have, like Spook, flared their metals to the point of physiological change and theoretical greater control/power over the metal. A Feruchemical savant, if they exist (WoB, anyone? 'Cause that sounds pretty cool), might very well be able to do this.

Hooray for educated, civil discussion about politics! Though, as fascinating as I find government, I wouldn't touch politics with a ten-foot pole.

@Topomouse: There isn't anything really mega-Cosmere-special about it. Just dramatic echo, as Kobold pointed out. I just thought it was interesting.

This is a (very) short story I wrote last year for my creative writing class, and I thought I'd share it with all of you. Comments and criticism are welcome. Please keep in mind that this version hasn't been revised much. Gesundheit

This may have already been pointed out, but I didn't see any topic to do with this, so here we go. Some time ago I was perusing WoK for the umpteenth time, and I came across this quote in "Of Alds and Milp," one of the Kaladin flashback chapters: Sound familiar? In the Words of Radiance chapter "The One Who Killed Promises," the following is found: Sneaky, sneaky Brandon Sanderson.

When this is your reaction to seeing someone else reading a Sanderson book:
