  1. A half-elantrian with a ton of painrials would be nice. Though, come to think of it, they might not work. I wonder if half-elantrians are invisible to Allomantic bronze? What about manipulation by brass and such?
  2. On the other hand.... There is a missing honorblade, still.
  3. Or modify the variables and such, anyway. Mr. T actually devised the tests himself.
  4. Not that part, no. Though that would be a reasonable, if harsh, alternative to the death penalty as it's administered here. Instead of a lethal injection, you're sedated and executed hemalurgically. Still creepy, but whatever.
  5. That's also the premise for the second trilogy
  6. I'm thinking of going with "entitled" instead of privileged. It's close enough, and won't conjure memories of Powder Mage.
  7. Off'cer , I shwear, I was just out fer an evening stroll an' then everythin' turns upside down and I'm fallin' every which way. THAT'S WHAT I'M ARRESTING YOU FOR!
  8. I'm actually closer to 1020 at this point, I think
  9. The first sentence is a bit more vague. It implies that she feels generally, but not exactly, the same about in stormfather in some categories.
  10. Kolossform, of course.
  11. Haha give it a paintbrush and lessons in bloodsealing. Beware the Stormform Dakhor Parshquisitor and his armies of skeletal minions! Now, everybody face it and repeat after me: "My life to yours, my Breath become yours"
  12. When you're trying to come up with a magic system for a book, and it just. Keeps. Coming backing to Realmatics.
  13. Yup. You be running for your life, gancho. Now, I wonder what happens if one of them decides to take a monastic retreat...at Dakhor?
  14. That'll make it hard to get dates.
  15. We're searching for a magical shapeshifter that hasn't revealed itself, and is presumably a master at imitating a dead man. If they aren't Ilyatil, I have no idea.
  16. We don't know. It's virtually certain that these voices are "of Odium" in some way: His minions, spren, or just power expressed in voices within her rhythms. The stormspren might be saying these things, but the plural suggests that it simply acts as a gateway for greater forces.
  17. When you tell your brother to say, "My life to yours, my Breath become yours" to you, then say, when he asks you why, "No reason."
  18. ....don't speak of that thing.
  19. Just chiming in here, but we all know a notable writer who uses double-caps frequently: TenSoon MaiPon BioChroma ChayShan
  20. When, during the winter, you do random running slides of frozen puddles pretending to be lift.
  21. HonorxCultivation:"Well, this is awkward, baby." "It would help if we had bodies, wouldn't it?" "I know, right! What am I supposed to do, rub your Splinter?" "You know what? I'm gonna go grab some humans." "Why?" "If we can't have sex, at least we can have porn." And thus, the gods of Roshar were discovered to be gigantic pervs.
  22. What if a minor side effect of holding an Eye is being colourblind to all light in that colour, because your irises are somehow absorbing it?
  23. When you have to focus in order to not think about the Realmatics behind the magic systems in every other book you read.
  24. On the other hand, Pattern gets to geek out studying humans, so it's not all bad for him. Not to mention that he's a sentient fractal. His perception of relationships is probably different than we'd expect.
