Empathic/Empathy is probably the word you're looking for. And the first problem would be finding someone who was an empath, before you could spike it out of themn.
-
You can assume what you want, but she never actually says it, so it's all an assumption rather than fact.
-
But the pool wouldn't be burning it or being spiked with it. It'd just sit there. Like how Nightblood's sheathe is aluminum. It doesn't do anything other than contain the investiture and keep it from leaking out.
-
It's inert, so nonreactive. So it'd just sit in the pool until someone took it out, I'd imagine.
-
Actually, what Khriss says is, So Scadrial is one of the places where humans don't predate the Shards. She never says Roshar is the other.
-
It's been thousands of years since that happened. Look at our own history. We barely have any accurate records from just 1000-2000 years ago, let alone 5000-10000 years ago. We only know as much as we do about several ancient civilizations due to dedicated archaeology, which none of the planets currently have.
-
Humanity on Scadrial definitely doesn't predate the Shattering, but we don't know if humans on Roshar/Ashyn do or don't predate the Shattering. They likely migrated via the Cognitive Realm and perpendicularities after the Shattering. Any sufficient concentration of investiture can form a perpendicularity, so they aren't necessarily limited to planets that have Shards in residence, if they can manipulate things just right. We don't really know what the dragons and fain life are doing. They might have migrated to places we haven't seen yet.

Hoid will become the new Adonalsium
RShara replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Cosmere Discussion
But the post in question doesn't perfectly fit or add to the theory? -
Hoid will become the new Adonalsium
RShara replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Cosmere Discussion
FYI, this post is over a year old. In general, if you have new thoughts about a subject, you'll want to start a new thread explaining it all, rather than "necroing" an old thread like this -
Poopform

This thread is also from 2016

This is @Steeldancer's favorite topic.

Yeah, that's my take on it. Even if Odium is Splintered, the power would remain, so that WoB doesn't really say anything
-
He was marginally aware of the cosmere, but he didn't have a lot of time to explore outward while he held the power of the Well. He only had a few minutes and was mostly occupied with Scadrial. Yes anyone can receive Breath and then use it to Awaken or whatever. I doubt Endowment would care either way. Rashek was a raging racist and murderer before he took up the power of the Well and became TLR. I doubt he'd ever get any better than that.
-
I don't know exactly why she's upset that Hoid got the lerasium, but her leaving was because she didn't want to be caught in the final cataclysm. It might be that Khriss was hoping to get the lerasium herself, and since Hoid had already taken it, there was no more reason for her to hang around so close?
-
He's not a worldhopper as far as I'm aware. He's a tribute to Tolkien, according to Brandon.
-
They don't. Blood still flows and cells still multiply. It's the spiritual connection to the mind that's severed, not the physical parts of the limb. On the first cut, anyway.
-
Endowment is not Splintered, and her Vessel, Edgli, is very much alive. She wrote one of the Letters in Oathbringer, if you've read that. She does make voluntary Splinters in the Divine Breath that holds the Returned to their bodies, but that's just a tiny drop of her investiture, and doesn't significantly weaken her.
-
I'm not sure how being a super powerful Mistborn would make the Bands more powerful? He might be able to squeeze more power out of a burn, but that doesn't involve what can be stored in an unsealed metalmind.

Nergaoul as a splinter of Ambition
RShara replied to Dunadan Windrunner's topic in Cosmere Discussion
All the Unmade are confirmed to be Splinters of Odium. Besides, I don't think Nergaoul adds passion. I think it removes inhibitions and rationality and enhances hate. Boosting adrenaline while inhibiting parts of the frontal lobe would account for its effects. -
Hoid's immortality is due to having some of the remnants of the weapon that Shattered Adonalsium in him. His healing could be from a number of things, since it seems to work on the same principle as F-gold or Stormlight healing.
-
Woops, misunderstood. One moment. Here we go.
-
The Honorblades use stormlight in order to provide the surges to the person. The person then also uses stormlight to power the surges. Nightblood was an attempt to use Awakening to duplicate a Shardblade. Shardblades were spren who figured out how to emulate Honorblades. So they do all have a similar basis. The Heralds were directly powered by Honor when he was alive, so the inefficiency of the Honorblades with stormlight wasn't a problem back then. It's humans trying to use them that has the inefficiency problem. Also, it's not that Nightblood is one of the most powerful, but rather one of the most invested. And he can do freaky things when drawn and fully powered.

There's actually such a thing as the corpse of a spiritweb in the Spiritual Realm. And it takes a surprisingly long time before that decays and disperses. So I would say that he was sensing and speaking to the remnants of Evi's spiritweb, mixed up with his own desires and longings and hopes.
