Myst

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.
