Hello! I’ve never really done any posts on forums like this before so I don’t really know what to say. I have read everything in the cosmere but Stormlight Archives (though I am working my way through right now), white sand, isles emberdark, and a couple of the novellas. Mistborn is my favorite series both of the cosmere and in general. I hope I can have fun here!

Welcome to the 17th Shard! would you rather be a feruchemist a mistborn, a windrunner, or a worldhopper?

Oh ok, thank you so much!

I am wondering whether a Lifelight Skybreaker would be possible? or is it only possible with a edgdancer, because I am trying to make a theoretical OP person, the main thing is they originate on scadrial, they are a bendalloy compounder twinborn, they are a lifelight un-oathed Skybreaker, and the question I have is the only thing holding me back from showing this theoretical person to my friends.

Speeding up the passage of time could be relative to how you view it, because how I view it is that it speeds up the people in the bubbles thinking and movement efficiency, because it could be looked at as just a zinc and steel metalmind but in allomancy form and you can do it to other people

Thanks.

It's been a long standing theory of mine that Hemalurgy (specifically the type that uses metals as a focus to rip off pieces of Spiritweb and then suture them onto another. Crystal/Cosmere-wide concepts of Hemalurgy may be different) actually scrubs much if not all of the previous Shardic association the stolen Investiture had, then aligning it with Ruin's Intent and instilling anyone who bears that spike with a Connection and Investment from Ruin. Similar to how other mangled forms of Investiture turn black and have a Ruinous vibe (such as Nightmares, Nightblood, and possibly the Midnight essence- though that last one is even further removed and might actually just be coincidence).

This is why I think Division stolen by Hemalurgy could work better than naturally within Hornor's/Cultivation's system, because it seems like a perfect fit for Ruin's Intent.

I disagree with this, and believe bendalloy Allomancy would fit with Ruin quite well, as it's the opposite of cadmium- speeding up the passage of time and allowing erosion and entropy to progress. But like with most of my post, it's all just a hypothesis with a few leading ideas to anchor it.

wait, what number post is this

all of them except white sand king lopen and elsecaller
