Haha, thanks for the welcome! I'll be looking around. I've got a ton of theories, they're like my favorite thing haha. I see you've commented on one of mine already, so that's awesome haha. If I could have a hemalurgic spike... assuming I didn't have to kill anyone for it, just give 'em a little poke and a still a bit of something they've got... I'd probably take a copper one so I can see people's memories. That would be awesome. And I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about with "MoI mixture." Please explain, because it sounds like a super exciting question haha.

You guys think there's ways for Singers to change forms without Rosharan Storms? I'm assuming Singers are going to at least show up in Space-age Cosmere in one way or another. Makes me wonder if there are other ways for them to change forms on other planets. Like, what is it about the Rosharan Storms that allows the transformation to take place? The accepted process of changing forms involves accepting a spren into their gemheart during a Storm. Changing forms is also a huge deal in their culture, where different positions in society, stages of life, and other things are reflected in their current form. But thinking to the future of the Cosmere... how is that going to affect a Singer? If they can't change forms without a Rosharan Storm, why would they want to leave the planet, potentially never being able to come back and change forms? How do you think Brandon is going to keep Singers relevant during the space age? Question for further discussion, contains WaT spoilers:

Yeah true, that's why I put in in "weird" haha. It wouldn't even be put on a chart of the 16 base God Metals, but I just felt like including it since we know about it. It is a bit of a hole in my theory, huh? Are you saying that Shardblades do or do not cut spiritwebs? Also, is the the WoB you're thinking of? This quote might actually help my case. If Shardblades sever all three realms of something, is that not affecting something's Identity?

In Bands of Mourning, Vendell calls to attention Fortune, Connection, Identity, and Investiture. It seems like these are the Big 4 "things" in the Cosmere (idk what to call them). In Dawnshard, the mural of Adonalsium is shattered into four, then those four into sixteen. Could we group the Allomantic properties of all God Metals into groups of four like the regular Allomancy chart, with quadrant having some kind of control over or relationship with one of the four things Vendell was talking about? Solid Evidence: - Atium gives the burner access to Fortune/Destiny. (And Malatium lets you see another person's potential Destiny) - Lerasium seems to have some control over Identity by overwriting Spiritual DNA (making someone Mistborn) - Raysium conducts Investiture. (That's like the only thing we know about it, as far as I know) Potential Evidence/Weird Ones: - "Edglium" is probably what the Investiture-consuming Nightblood is made of.* - Tanavastium: My guess is that this is another Identity one. The shape and design of each Shardblade is unique, probably shaped by both the Radiant and the Spren.** Also, Shardblades sever things on all three realms... although now that I think about it, it doesn't sever Spiritwebs because otherwise they couldn't be healed from. It could possibly be tied to Connection. Radiants form Connections with Spren, which manifest themselves in the Physical Realm as Tanavastium. Adolin's Connection to his blade seems to be what is helping Maya heal. Radiants are able to signal to their Spren what they need them to become through their bond. - Trellium repels Investiture and its Hemalurgic chimeras seem to be robbed of Identity - Harmonium stores allomantic abilities (Investiture or Identity?) *WoB: **WaT Spoilers: If this is true, we might have our four Investiture metals already: Raysium: Conducts Investiture Trellium: Repels Investiture Harmonium: Stores Investiture Edglium: Consumes Investiture Although, Harmonium is a di-shardic metal, so it wouldn't count on the 16-section chart

Hi guys! I'm new, but I'm excited to be here! I've been a fan of Brandon Sanderson and the Cosmere for a long time, haha. Here's a quick introduction. Books I've read Canon Cosmere: - I've read all of the canon Cosmere works, to my knowledge, including Wind and Truth, the stuff in Arcanum Unbounded, and the novellas. Multiple times for most of them, haha. - The Stormlight Archive is my favorite and the one that kicked off my obsession with the Cosmere. I'd say Way of Kings is the best one, but Words of Radiance is probably my favorite... if that makes sense. - Tress is also one of my favorites. My wife and I read it together when we were dating and it's become one of our favorite couple memories. Non-Canon Cosmere: - Dragonsteel Prime Other Sanderson works: - Skyward series 1-2 - Legion stories - Most of his other short stories and novellas (that aren't Audible exclusive haha) Favorites: Book: Words of Radiance World: Lumar Character: Kaladin Magic System: Probably Roshar's? Spren: Cryptic Non-human species: Kandra or Chasmfiends Other fun stuff: Homeworld: Elantris Knight Order: Edgedancer Misting: Iron Ferring: Zinc

Ah so it's more based on vibes than I thought haha. I thought 1 Breath was equivalent between each person, that's interesting.

Oh that's super helpful, thank you! I didn't realize that it was part of the collection.

1) The average person in the Cosmere usually has about one BEU of innate Investiture. Drabs have less (but not nothing), and regular Nalthians have more. Does this mean that Drabs have “half a BEU,” average people have 1 BEU, and regular Nalthians have about “1.5 BEUs?” Yumi Spoilers:

In Shadows of Self, Wax passes an empty pedestal that supposedly used to display Atium, but it's empty. Do we know what's up with that? Did someone actually get their hands on some Atium just to display it? And if so, did someone nick it? (Probably Hoid, haha)
