Myst

I’ll need to find the exact words for it, but my favorite quote is the one where he’s like, “You can do that?” In response to Ranette. In book 6. I laugh every time I read it. One of the theories is that Duraluminum is actually copper’s linked metal, not aluminum, and so aluminum isn’t actually an allomantic metal, it’s all just the placebo effect of people thinking it should do something. They second guess themselves into losing their metal reserves If you want a better explanation, I can do that. There’s some stuff with how I think aluminum reacts to burning.

Yeah, that does help, but no, it doesn’t seem to do that. Now that I know where it is though, I can click on them. thank you

I don’t think Kaladin would do that without Adolin’s knowledge, he’s too good for that. Which would turn it into whatever ship name is for the three of them For the Wayne quote, do you want my favorite of Wayne as Wayne, or Wayne being someone else. As for crazy theories? I have a lot, like, I have a list on my phone for them

I didn’t see a link, so I must have missed it. I’ll go back and check though

I’ll have to check out his posts then. So far, I haven’t. No ones posted about it from what I can see. But I’m sure I’m just missing something.

So, this is one of the few things I’m creative with, making magic decks that may or may not work because I’m not willing to spend the money to get the cards to playtest them. What’s come out of that is my Kaladin/Syl/Nahel bond magic deck. It’s not finished as of writing this, but the ideas are still there. Gisela both protects you and your board, while massively amplifying the damage to your opponents, which fits Kaladin. I use Soulbond and bestow to simulate the nahel bond/Syl. The game plan of the deck also sort of fits as well, we do damage to everyone, but Kaladin can weather through it, he can stand up in the face of darkness and pain and come out on top. Here’s a link to it if you want to check it out: https://archidekt.com/decks/16567754/kaladin_syl This might be my only contribution to this, as my fan fiction is pretty bad. But who knows. -A Windrunner with a Lightweaver’s complexity

So, I’m confused on what these are, do I just get to make my own up or something? I think I saw something related to reputation earlier, but I’d like to know what I’m supposed to do with it. Thanks -A Windrunner with a Lightweaver’s complexity

I think if you want ethical spikes, the Malwesh’s medallions(assuming they work the way I think they do) may be your best bet. But a medallion isn’t as cool as a spike. If had to get a spike, assuming putting it there wouldn’t drastically alter my spirited, having one in my cheekbones could look so amazing. Sadly, I don’t believe it’s one of the bind points

Thank you

So how did he know Wit had a dawnshard 10 days later then? Did he somehow gain knowledge that let him know? I don’t believe we have anything on him suddenly realizing how to detect dawnshards or anything.

Kind of, I think the idea of it is cool, and aesthetically it could be really intimidating, but the practice of it, not really, I prefer not to kill people for my powers

My confusion is that it seems to give Rysn that ability, so it’s likely that others can as well I don’t believe this is the case because Odium would have known he had it when he was searching his investiture, and so the last chapters of WoT wouldn’t make sense then

So, this post won’t make sense, but this is how my thought process went, hopefully this goes well. Why did Wit lose his perfect pitch when odium destroyed his breaths? The danwshard grants enough investiture to give him that effect, regardless of breath. He had the dawnshard during the 10th day, and we know where wit was the entire time between then and when he lost his breaths. He first was with after the encounter, he went straight to Urithiru and helped Dalinar, and was covering for him later on. There was no time for him to have gained a dawn shard, meaning he had to have had it during his encounter with odium, so he shouldn’t have lost his perfect pitch. The only other situation would be if he gave the dawnshard to someone else for the encounter? And if so, who? Sigzil only knew about it at the end of WaT, so like, what happened there? Sorry for the rambling, but this is how my mind works. Thoughts? -A Windrunner with a Lightweaver’s complexity

He who Quiets. So make a lot of noise, we don’t want him here. Unless we get Kaladin as well, I’d be fine with that.

Thank you for the explanation, you most likely got most of it right, though I’m not a physics person either. There might be a problem with that for the objects moving towards each other, they have to ignore all other sources of gravity, or at least have the same pull during the entire time. They would have to ignore the planets gravitational pull for that to work, which would launch them out of the planet and into space. The only way for that to work there would be if they both objects retained their gravitational pull to the planet, and if that pull was the same, which it’s not. The magnetic field has different strengths at different areas, and we’re all different distances from it. honestly, your theory has less holes than mine does, though there are some bits where I’m still confused

Controversial, I see. I’m advocating for spikes being cool, not Moash though.

Oh, sorry, I prefer white, with spirals of blue and red cumulating in gems at the joints for investiture storage Thats more of a description than a color, but it’s what I’d prefer. I mean, the spiked eyes is a cool look, and we’re getting new ones with Moash, so I’d thought I’d get on the train.

Gravity is an interesting explanation, but I don’t think it would work under the same principles as Lashings. Most of the time(I think) the object being pushed/pulled on still remains under the influence of normal gravity. Also, I’m not sure how gravity would explain how if the object you’re pushing on weighs more than you, you go in the opposite direction. I actually have thought that the instability, how they vary in strength at certain points explained “flaring” your metals, as you could make that extra strong area towards the thing you’re pushing on. And it therefore takes more metal as it needs constant attention to make sure the strong side is always there. As for the fact that it works in all metals, It might be that they usually affect those electro magnetic fields, but that with non-metals they normally can’t sense them, but the way metals interact with investiture makes affecting metal possible. I honestly didn’t know that magnets could only attract metals, not push them away. Maybe it just slipped my mind. I don’t really have any thoughts for this other than that maybe, since there is something that attracts metal, there’s something that pushes it away, it would fit with the opposites theme of scadrial. I don’t really know though. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the tip, I just went and updated that post. it sounds like it affects magnetic fields, but may not be magnetic itself, which allows it to ignore other magnetic sources and other consequences of being a magnet. So it sounds like my theory is wrong-based on the knowledge we have.

Ok, this is hard, I don’t think wheel of time counts, as he wrote the last three. *scrolling through my kindle library * so that leaves He who Fights with Monsters. Fancy words sound amazing. Thank you

I’ve read all the official cosmere books except for isles of the emberdark. My favorite system is probably Sand mastery, because it raises questions about whether I could control something else if there was enough sand in it. Also, what’s wrong with the cookie?

Yes, absolutely. Why would I ever say no to a cookie?

The this was thought of because of something Kelsier remarked on in the “Three Weeks After Detonation” chapter of The Lost Metal. The exact sequence goes like this: “Outlining not only sources of metal, but all things. The very axi that made up reality had their own polarity, influenceable with Steelpushing under the right circumstances.” So first off, I’m going to assume that if steel can affect axi, so can iron. The reason I think that both steelpushing and iron pulling are just make yourself into a magnet of opposite polarity, is because of this sequence. There’s a mention of polarity, and that being the reason the axi could be affected by steelpushing. The only reason I can think of of that being important is if that polarity is what allows them to affect it. And magnesium would be the only way for that to work. So, what do you think of my thought? Is it plausible? Do we have anything on it? Has anyone asked Sanderson himself about it? - A Windrunner with a Lightweaver’s complexity There is one hole in this line of reasoning, and that’s aluminum. It’s not affected by allowance, yet it’s affected by magnets. My thought regarding this is that the aluminum blocks the creation of the magnetic field that would be affecting it, if that makes sense. Any thoughts?

So. According to the thing when I created my account, I’m supposed to create a post so everyone knows I exist. So I thought I should get this one thing across with this post. I am absolutely obsessed with the cosmere. Right after writing this I am immediately going to the stormlight and mistborn forums to post my wacky ideas. I expect that a lot of people here are the same. On the other hand, I’m a die-hard Syladin shipper. So… maybe not. I’ve read almost all official cosmere novels, but I haven’t been able to get isles of the emberdark yet. I haven’t read some of the unofficial stuff though, like WoK and Dragonsteel prime. I’m actually looking for a way to get Aether of night right now. Thanks for checking me out! -A Windrunner with a Lightweaver’s complexity.
