Feather, you need a musical number in a piece called The Fandom of the Opera.

Let's send Brandon's complete works to an Antarctic research station and hope someone's hooked!

Welcome! Please don't be intimidated - we only spike people occasionally. Glad you've decided to speak up, and I hope you enjoy yourself!

She is the Fandom Monster, after all.

I'm sure the concept will pop up in a case or two, but not as a base-level thing. Midichlorians, I never had a real problem with. There has to be a reason some people are stronger with the Force than others. Microorganisms work fine.

She WILL write essays at you. Careful. It's playing with fire, and that fire smells of feathers smouldering in righteous rage.

Buy. They're already obsolete if you're up against a Knight - but a Shardbearer is still a force to be reckoned with. We will start to see Knights bonded to spren brought back from the dead, but anchored to their Knight via the gemstone-based pseudo-Nahel bond. They will not fit the temperaments of their orders, and will often be in conflict with their spren, but will also work better with other orders.

Sell. To do that, you'd have to make a sentient object, kill it, then have it Returned. However, I can see using a Divine Breath to awaken an object.

I'd argue that you interact with magic on Ashyn rather than perform it, for reasons I'll make clear when it isn't 4 am.

Buy Lift will use seeds offensively. Like, throw bags of seeds on the ground, suddenly vines. Everywhere, tangling legs, tangling arms, but Lift is slipping away over the top of the gnarly mass with a frictionless grace.

I think you mean Bendalloy, Two? I don't see how cadmium would be helpful in a one-on-one fight. Unless the Inquisitor trapped the Windrunner in there with them, kept them there for fifty years or so outside time, then let them out and told them that every one they ever knew was dead or dying, and that the protracted duel in an oddly confined space had just been a distraction. Then spiked away their Nahel bond while the Windrunner wasn't looking, and told them that their spren was the Inquisitor's now. The Inquisitor would then take the harmless, grief-struck human and screaming, metalbound spren to see the graves of their close friends, supplying the requisite corpses while necessary while the former Windrunner screamed and wept from their bonds. On every level, at this point, the Windrunner would be defeated. The inquisitor could add insult to injury by spiking away their memories and installing them for viewing pleasure.

If Delightful delights in demerits, delightfully we'll dump them upon her.

Bake me a waffle, waffle-man Bake me a waffle as fast as you can. BAKE ME A WAFFLE.

Sorry, mate, but it's pretty much confirmed that the missing statues and faces in paintings are the work of Shallash, almost certainly Baxil from the Interlude's mistress. She is - or was - the herald of beauty, but is being twisted into a corrupted version of that: Instead of creating great art, she destroys it, usually images of herself. Blushweaver was a character fairly self-contained within Warbreaker, as far as I can tell. Beyond that, all major plot points in Stormlight will probably be contained within Roshar and associated worlds. Nightblood is the exception, but, as far we know, the particular nature of magic on Roshar basically makes Nightblood into a Shardblade, with qualities somewhere between a Radiant's Blade and an Honorblade. He'll be explained as such. Besides, with the history of all the Heralds extending back into prehistory, I think Blushweaver would have shown some signs of that instead of the naivete she had in Warbreaker. Welcome to the forums, and sorry to debunk your first theory!

There's an Elsa Steelheart. I'm honestly astonished that that name hasn't been snapped up before now. I guess everyone just assumed that it was taken already

Sell, as much as I wish it. His control is much too fine, and acts more like telekinesis than the Pushes and Pull we're familiar with. Of course, his helmet might actually be a sprenblade that grants him Transportation, allowing him to shift the center he performs the Pushes and Pulls from. And Xavier is clearly a crazy-powerful Soother with something that lets him recieve in there. Santhids are going to play a heavy symbolic role in Stones Unhallowed.

I'd build a set of power armour just to have JARVIS in my ear. Best character in that movie.

And if she starts crying whenever the topic of Renarin comes up on the forums between beta and release, we know something terrible has happened.

Sell. I think the Southern issue is gonna be a periphery until the third book at least. This one will focus on the Set, with a lot of foreshadowing about their connection the the Southern Scadrians. Cadmium will be used to slow bullets in the second trilogy.

Wheel of time reference?

Buy. That could work. On the Tel'aran'rhiod, I have no doubt that that was an inspiration for Brandon as he conceived the Cosmere, but dreamworlds of some sort of another that can be entered physically are a trope that's been around for a long while. All magic constrained by Adonalsium is constrained to only work within that dwarf galaxy.

It's really easy to get a quick and dirty meal there. You just start yelling extremist slogans. Then, when you've accrued a company of followers, make them buy you lunch. They reserve the fruit for good ideas, you see.

Well, you can pick up Warbreaker on Brandon's website. Elantris is good, if less polished than later works. The Emporer's Soul is a very nice quick read, probably the most literary of Brandon's stuff. Also, Welcome to the forums! Please enjoy responsibly.

sell. it sounds like it was written before the printing press, and it's a journal. In fact, I think it's Spook's Journal, from his hemalurgical experiments after Harmony's ascension.

buy, with emphasis on the "almost". I don't think he's going to go for Surgebinding, for instance, because it comes with a sentient, reliant, being. The sickness-based powers would be a pain to maintain, unless you could use Feruchemical gold to work something out. Selish magics are very limited by area and require a lot of study even if you have the right Spiritual aspects. I can see him maybe learning the basics of those, but not becoming a master. When Cosmerians die, their personality, physical memory, minds, essential self, etc. all split off into separate things.
