He also mentioned that there may be a short story about Lopen becoming the (nominal?) king of Alethkar for a bit. Perhaps a coup d'etat?

[Words of Radiance Tour] Chicago Signing, Mar 22
Swimmingly replied to Argent's topic in Events and Signings
I wonder, would fully charged compounded nicrosil act like user-specific lerasium, given that it would essentially be filled with pure Investiture? -

Of course, the compounding issue applies for all Allomanctic compounding. -
The Parshendi are not Voidbringers (spoilers)
Swimmingly replied to Grayv's topic in Stormlight Archive
One way for blood to mix is, you know, those containing it killing each other brutally. -
Unless Nalan makes all his Shardbearer Skybreakers train with the screaming, as a way to both keep them from progressing in the Nahel bond (and therefor controllable) and to make them basically impervious to torture or pain.

I can just imagine a Dustbringer bar, everybody drinking dejectedly and ranting about how they're misunderstood because of their glowing red eyes. "I'm telling you, Khas, it's rough. I saved an orphanage full of children today from a fire, blew a hole in their wall and carried out the ones that were unconscious from smoke inhalation with my bare hands, and you know what happened? They screamed and ran away from me. One little boy with burns across his entire body began screaming to 'get the Voidbringer away' when I pulled out my ReGrowth fabrial. It's these damned eyes, Khas. A little red glow, and suddenly I'm the next thing to a Void-taken marble. Storm it, I don't know why I still do this."

Maybe beg Peter for an mostly empty spreadsheet with the headings grouped so that we can assume that there's some common component, and extrapolate or at least have empty wiki articles to fill?

I'm just amused that Shallan is gonna have glowing red eyes.

That is nifty. -
A question about the Weeping (WoR spoilers)
Swimmingly replied to Vortaan's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I think Vasher could use compounded nicrosil to remain alive as well. -
What do you think is going to happen in book three
Swimmingly replied to shadewolf's topic in Stormlight Archive
We only need one, and her name is Feather. Brace for amusing and slightly worryingly obsessive essays. -
Well, the spren bonds basically allow them to ignore the square-cube law, and something probably powers that blatant ignorance of physics, so...

HonorBlades Grant Each Herald All Ten Surges
Swimmingly replied to Confused's topic in Stormlight Archive
Ishar's a cynic, that's for sure. Hey! Ordinary people can have magic if their honourable and stuff now! OH ALMIGHTY ABOVE WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! Dude, chill. They literally lose their powers if they do bad things. AND WHO JUDGES THIS?! Ummmmmmmmm... The spren, who are sentient, have politics, and interpret "Honor" as a different thing depending on their type, their Surgebinder's perception, and circumstantial morality OK yeah figure something out right now.- 8 replies

Nightblood is a character. English isn't good with person non-binary pronouns. So you've gotta call the sentient sword something, and "he" fits.

Which Radiant wielding an Honorblade would you like to see
Swimmingly replied to Gyth's topic in Stormlight Archive
It occurs to me that, for lift, a power bar is exactly that. -
Lightweaving his appearance into someone that could be mistaken for, but is clearly not him, seems like a foolhardy and obtuse way to outsmart people. Yup, this dude's Hoid. That sounds like exactly the kind of thing he'd do for lols.

HonorBlades Grant Each Herald All Ten Surges
Swimmingly replied to Confused's topic in Stormlight Archive
I'm thinking that a weapon that can turn Joe Average into a Surgebinder is pretty unique and extraordinary. It's like a world where you can only use a gun if you're a police officer, but then a criminal starts shooting people.- 8 replies

There is another option. He had a mistborn metal melange, so he could use anything without much trouble. He then burnt all of the above, and Brandon simply omitted info without lying.

Sure, it could happen in the future. However, the standards for then will also be that much worse as well. So our excellent CGI will look fake and funny in 20 years.

Which Shardworld would you most like to live on?
Swimmingly replied to TheShogun's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I'd just pay/work with a Forger to make me some Essence Marks.
