Mistborn Adventure Game is Out + Contest!
MindCanaries commented on Chaos's article in Brandon and Book News
This may be the closest I will ever get to being an Allomancer. =( -
Theory: Hemalurgy can transfer any Investiture
MindCanaries replied to discipleofhoid's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Just throwing this out there: Gem Spikes, to steal magic systems from Roshar. -
I assumed that these two metals were the "new" metals that the people living in the south have.

Tien would have been a Stonewarden. This is shown by his affinity for various rocks, which he can see with a more discerning eye than any of the other people in town.
-
Can you point to where they acknowledge there being 16 known metals? I think that if they knew of Nicrosil and Chromium we would have heard someone mention them, especially in the Elendel Daily ad that hires out Allomancers, as a Nicroburst would be like, massively useful to that sort of company.

I didn't realize it until reading this thread.=(

Ironeyes is Marsh. Marsh has the same powers as the Lord Ruler, and so can use the same tricks to attain immortality (compounding atium). Sazed is indeed Harmony, and it is him speaking to Wax during that section. He isn't actually asking him that, he's just being rhetorically to get Wax to arrive at the conclusion that he needs to reach in order to press on and defeat Miles.

Definitely interested! -
The goal of the Seventeenth Shard
MindCanaries replied to Mad_Scientist's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Yeah, I am definitely going to assume that the recipient of the letter is literally a reptile. -
That makes sense then, yeah. Can you point me towards the info stating each Order had two powers? I think I may have missed that.
-
Wouldn't that still put them in the same Order, though, putting us shy of a 1-book-per-order scheme?
-
I definitely agree with this. I don't think he has literally merged the two shards together. He simply is the only person we have seen so far to hold two shards at once, and he probably realized "Sazed" is a pretty rust name for a God in the Cosmere.
-
This only works though if Szeth/Kaladin and Jasnah/Shallan have different powers, which it very much seems they do not. Though, given the complexity of Roshar's magic systems...it is possible.

Theory on Shardplate/Shardblades (Possible Spoilers)
MindCanaries replied to b4dave's topic in Stormlight Archive
True, though Atium was being harvested and kept away from Ruin. Shardblades are, by admission, few and far between. It seems possible that Rayse would let some of his own destructive power circulate, if it increased the war and hatred on Roshar. I am not suggesting that they are splinters of Odium's Shard in the way that Seons or Skaze are. We saw Atium, despite Ruin being unsplintered. The Shards have physical bodies that, as we have seen, are not really bodies at all. -
Theory on Shardplate/Shardblades (Possible Spoilers)
MindCanaries replied to b4dave's topic in Stormlight Archive
Yes, sorry, for got to include that. That was what initially gave me that thought in the first place. -
I cannot recall where, but Brandon has definitely confirmed that animals can be given Hemalurgic spikes. I believe it's in the Brandonthology.

Glad my question on Reddit was of use! Haha.

Theory on Shardplate/Shardblades (Possible Spoilers)
MindCanaries replied to b4dave's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think that it is definitely on the right track. During that same Q&A I asked him if they were the physical forms of a Shard, like Atium was in Mistborn. He said he would reveal whether or not that were the case in a future book. My thought, however, is that they might not be a part of Honor at all. At least, not Shardblades. Honorblades, which we know to be totally different, ARE part of Honor I think. Shardblades, however, have always been somewhat sinister. The black, smoking eyes...The propensity for people to kill one another over them, their use as an engine of destruction... If you ask me, I think they are either splinters of, or the physical form of ODIUM, and not Honor at all. -
I was promised a cookie by Josh if I registered. I demand payment! (Also, hi.)
