Interesting theory regarding Retribution. Although, I remember reading somewhere that bothered Autonomy and Retribution have some sort of agreement. That being said, Autonomy had no issued going after a double shard. Who knows what she would do in Roshar.

As we've seen in Stormlight, anti-investiture does exist, so that got me thinking. Could someone or something create an Anti-Dawnshard? What effects would it have with the world around it? What would be the implications to the Cosmere?

I was wondering if the extended use of shardplate+shardblade (unoathed included) grant any form of resonance? I know that technically the wielder is just using a sword and armour, but the fact that both are bonded to the wielder and are made of investiture, does this still apply for resonances?

Thank you for that!

Thank you so much for this answer!

Recently I posted another thread talking about metals and specifically, Silver in the Cosmere: One thing I forgot to include was Trellium or Bavadinium, and it got me thinking. What exactly is going on with Trellium? The Coppermind classifies it as the following: The things that stick out to me the most are the silvery appearance and the similar effect it has with Investiture. With this in mind, I wonder if Trellium is actually an alloy and not a full God Metal. Similar to how Atium was first presented before the retcon. It's curious that Silver is allomantically inert, yet it disrupts Investiture, like it's the case with Shades, Spores and White Sand (As per a WoB). The Coppermind also states that if you were to allomantically burn Trellium, there are unknown effects. Maybe they are unknown as the silver elements of Trellium are disrupting the allomantic reaction? Is it possible that the pure form of Bavadinium has different properties than Trellium, as it is essentially the "God metal" of an Avatar, not the shard? This theory would have interesting implications due to the fact that Autonomy can determine how heavily she invests her avatars. It makes sense that she would grant a "god metal" to an avatar where the main form of Investiture are the metallic arts. What do you think? Am I up to something? Furthermore, if Trellium was widely available, could you use it to disrupt other forms of investiture? A few examples I propose would be: *Trellium dagger vs shade = dead shade. *Trellium dagger vs silver chain = disrupts the cognitive anchor. *Trellium Spike vs shade/cognitive shadow = kills share/cognitive shadow. *Trellium dagger/spike vs Herald = disrupts connection to Honor, makes them a normal person. *Trellium sword vs shardblade = makes shardblade vanish momentarily. *Trellium sword vs shardplate = makes shardplate vanish momentarily. *Trellium spike vs radiant spren (in cognitive realm) = kills spren (disrupts their bond). *Trellium spike vs Radiant = Blocks their nahel bond. No access to surges. * Trellum spike vs Fuzed = Blocks connection to Odium. No access to surges. *Trellium vs Unmade = Incapacitates them. *Trellium spike/dagger vs sand master = blocks luhel bond. *Trellium sword vs spores = kills spores. *Trellium dagger/spike vs Aetherbound = blocks luhel bond. *Trellium Spike vs Aviar = Blocks their abilities *Trellium vs a Returned = Can kill them, disrupting their Divine Breath. Let the theorizing begin.

If Harmony transitions into Discord, would we see harmonium transition into Discordium? Would it be similar to anti-investiture or would the tone of the metal be opposite to Harmonium? If Harmonium is extremely reactive, would Discordium be inert? Let's theorize!

Could you theoretically restore consciousness to a Lifeless via Hemalurgy, unkeyed Feruchemy or Advanced awakening?

I'm curious to know more about the Allomantic metals and how they interact with different magic systems in the Cosmere. Here are a few questions that I hope we can all answer together. I've categorized the effects we know of and some questions, per magic System-Planet: *Scadrial: Allomancy, Feruchemy and Hemalurgy. There are still some unknown variables when it comes to the use of certain metals, but I'm sure we will find out more during era 3. *Roshar: Surgebinding,Voidbinding and Fabrials. We've primarily seen the Allomantic metals being used in fabrials. We've also seen aluminium and the god metals heavily interact with the story. Does silver have any effect on Spren? *Sel: AonDor, Forgery, Dakhor, Bloodsealing and Potions. Do the allomantic metals have any effect on any of these systems? From what I remember aluminium does seem to block forgery. I'm assuming that it would also work for bloodsealing. *Nalthis: Awakening. We know that if you were to awaken different metals, the result would vary depending on the metal, the amount of breath used and the command. Have we seen any examples of this outside of Nalthian tech in Lumar, Nightblood and Azure's blade? *Taldain: Sandmastery. I can't remember if any allomantic metals were shown in Taldain besides aluminium. I remember there was a WOB about Silver also affecting Sandmastery. Are there any other examples? *Komashi: Yoki Hijo. Do the allomantic metals make an appearance? What would happen if you were to slice a nightmare with aluminium or silver? If you used a pulling or pushing metal on Hion, what would be effect? *Canticle: Sunhearts. We've seen Scadrians using Scadrian technology based on the allomantic metals and we do see Nomad trying to make a spike out of a sunheart, but what other effects could we see here. Does Aluminium/Sliver have any effect whatsoever on Sunhearts? Could you harvest the intense heat of canticle with an unkeyed medallion or would it just melt? What metal is the Continuity Chain made of? Is it an an awaked metal object or something else? *Lumar: Spores. We've seen spores interact with some metals like silver, aluminium, steel and iron. I wonder what would happen if spores interacted with other metals like Zinc, Bronze, Copper or even Brass? *Yolen: Microkinesis: I haven't read Dragon Steel Prime yet so I'm not aware of the metals being mentioned here. But I wonder, are the Dawnshards made of a specific metal/godmetal? *First of the Sun. I've read the Arcanum novella but not Emberdark. Have the metals made an appearance there, if so, what were the effects? *Threnody: Shades: We're very aware of the effects of Silver on this planet. Did aluminium or any other metal have any effect on the shades/evil? Please let me know if I missed anything or if you've spotted something.

Here's an interesting scenario. Say you've just awaked the Father Machine, same command, same circumstances as they did in Komashi, BUT, in this case you happen to have a very friendly sword capable of killing a Shard. The moment the Father Machine starts to consume everyone around you, you unsheath Nightblood. As both entities start to consume investiture around them, including yourself, your last thought is the following: Who will consume the other first? On the other hand, say you arrived to Komashi later in the story and you had to face the Nightmares, what would happen if you attacked the Nightblood?

Crazy theory time! So I was revisiting Secret History and The Eleventh Metal. I did some research into Gemmel & Eleventh metal, and realized that Gemmel has long been suspected to have been spiked. Here's the direct Coppermind quote: So, here's the theory. Did Ruin reveal the Eleventh metal to Gemmel, who then shared it with Kelsier, to then be passed along to Vin, so she could use it to kill the Lord Ruler and take the power of the Well to release Ruin? If so, holy rusts! That was an elaborate gambit. What do you think?

You're right. I'd forgotten about the other two. Thank you for your research. I wonder what attributes the bond would grant. We've obviously seen what Yelig-nar can do to a normal person. I wonder if it would have a different effect on a radiant, singer, or bondsmith.

From Oathbringer, Chapter 30: Is it possible for anyone, radiant or even a bondsmith to bond an Unmade? The Unmade seem to share a lot of similarities with the Stormfather and the Sibling. What do you think? Is this a RAFO?

Like the question states, Do we know why do the Unmade live between the Cognitive Real and the Physical Realm?

I recently came across this quote from another topic on the forums: "- The white "sun" visible in Shadesmar (and in Shallan's chapter headers) is the Spiritual Realm" So my question is, can you physically access the Spiritual realm by reaching the Sun in Shadesmar or am I really just grasping at straws here?
