The Longest Thread (Misadventures)
Through The Living Ash replied to ElephantEarwax's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
The grey streaks across Erdikan's face began glowing bright white. "I don't care if it was truthful, I care what they did. I should know how truth can hurt far worse than lies." He ignored Willow, intriguing though it was.- 111828 replies

Shard not working

Mine kept returning error code 500 (connection not established) yesterday night So I'm assuming that was the same issue -
boring rocks
Through The Living Ash replied to Through the Living Wrath's topic in Cosmere Discussion
So, some fact checking here: The stones that were brought from Alaswha did not magically help with the transition, but were brought across as religious/cultural artifacts. The Stone was created as a spren on Roshar by Adonalsium when Roshar itself was being created or some short time thereafter. The stones at Urithiru proved not to be special; the Stone was able to communicate from many different stones all across Roshar. The Surges of Lightweaving and Regrowth that you mention are not necessarily Surges in other magic systems, but the same effect (illusions, healing, etc.) achieved through different magical means. The Surges were originally unrestricted (to an extent) when used by the to-be Heralds on Alaswha, and modelled after microkinesis from Yolen, which may have potentially served as a model that other Shards used when constructing magic systems, leading to some of the similarities that you mentioned. The Surges then being divided into the ten that we see was not an effect of perception, but an act of Honor in order to restrict the power of Surgebinders and prevent another situation like what occurred on Alaswha. However, the division did not occur randomly, and the Surges follow both the model of microkinesis and seemingly the natural forces of physics. It is at this point in my writing that Nissa of Scadrial replied, so I will mention that I am sorry that your brain hurts. Back to the topic at hand, you can see why it is logical that some other magic systems would produce similar effects or follow a similar pattern, but not in the way that you are thinking. I believe the Surge that you are referencing is Cohesion. This is a section of the Coppermind on it that I found relevant:- 8 replies

That's not demented whatsoever. Edit: What does envisage mean? It means to create a mental picture of something before you actually see it, or to predict a desirable future outcome.

Erdikan watched this all occur with increasing concern. Upon Erryin and Rebus's disappearance, he instinctively grabbed by the wrist, eyes flashing. "What did you do?" Ah. So the place reacted to his thoughts, it would appear. As Taeidin pieced together this conclusion, he reached for the next orb.- 111828 replies

The Longest Thread (Misadventures)
Through The Living Ash replied to ElephantEarwax's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Taeidin considers this, then sets down the orb. He is here to better understand Asharak's motives so he may convince him to recombine with Cep, and seemingly the information found in these drawers is what he is looking for, but the vague clues and impressions left are not particularly useful. He supposes that he can figure all out with enough time, but there ought to be something more concrete. And then there is the matter of finding a way out... it will likely appear when he is done here. Taeidin looks around, somewhat miffed. He can tell he is close to understanding something important, but it remained elusive. Erdikan took a step back, looking wary. "Whatever happened to promising civility?"- 111828 replies

Lovely Rebus specifically wants the non-magical clone of his with a conscience to go through the machine with Symbol, but they are currently on a planet that cannot be reached via any magical or technological means and automatically redirects any who try to go there that is also very hard to exist on when there. So either the clone has to escape the planet, or he has to find a way to get there. The clone is kinda frozen waiting on Symbol because Haly hasn't been on in a while, so Rebus has assigned Named and Erryin to try to figure out ways he can get there, but I think Erryin forgot and it's still reliant on Haly showing up again.
