  1. Something that occurs to me reading through the Wax and Wayne series and through Stormlight is a lot of the commentary on Intent. It's outright stated that most of the shard bearers are intrinsically linked and affected by the Intent of their Shard the longer they hold it, such a Ati being kind and generous and that getting warped by Ruin. However, we've also seen cognitive shadows functionally creating an Intent, such as the Pursuer. At least, it seems that the Fused 'traditions' are functionally just Intents, and it seems that the Intent there is changeable. There's also a some mention of Rayse being in conflict with his shard despite being a shard bearer for as long as Ati, along with Sazed's apparent slipping into Discord from Harmony. My curiosity at this point is if it's possible for an individual to nudge or change the Intent on the level of a shard. For example, was Odium originally Odium, or was it actually Passion before? Could Rayse's personality and use of the shard have focused the shard primarily on hatred over the millennia? And could the change from Harmony into Discord be less about Ruin being a little stronger and more tied to how the Sazed is acting while holding these powers? I know there aren't tangible answers to this question but I just wanted to get it written down somewhere.
  2. So, if burning Lerasium on top of being a mistborn won't make someone a 'super mistborn,' then what about burning Lerasuim and Duralumin?
