    It's probably one of their oral stories, like "the Listener Song of Secrets" that some of the epigraphs in OB are from.

    Well we don't have any objective measurements of how much investiture is contained in Patji's perpendicularity or in Nightblood. But not all concentrations of investiture result in perpendicularities. So Nightblood's concentration isn't set up in the right way to form a perpendicularity.
  4. RShara
    Nightblood is one of the most invested objects in the cosmere, not necessarily the most invested, other than Shards. FotS's perpendicularity is related to Autonomy, Patji is an avatar of Autonomy. I'm not sure how 1 and 2 lead to 3, though?

    You can't see steel lines in atium shadows, though.

    Guys, his post was over a month ago Probably healthiest to just drop it.

    I don't think this would work. How would the shadow even look? I'm having a lot of trouble picturing it. Anyway, atium, if it's a manifestation of Fortune, shows you the most likely future that you're going to experience. Not knowing what to do means it should show your victim just standing there looking puzzled. Also, a large number of bindpoints are in the heart. I'm not sure how detailed the shadow would be, but it seems unlikely that you'd be able to get enough detail to figure out exactly where in the heart your spike is hitting.

    That doesn't mean he can't win the fight. Nale would disappear to where ever they go to, then be reborn. The Fullborn can't even be killed, they'd just regenerate.

    Just as an FYI, it's Wyrn, not Wyrm

    Oh, that makes much more sense!

    The magic systems seem more to be something organically grown due to the interaction between the Shard(s) and the planet, rather than something that they design. I sort of agree with you, but the way it's been explained to me is that with Allomancy, you're "preserving" yourself. With Feruchemy, you're ruining yourself temporarily to enhance yourself later. Hemalurgy, of course, is obvious.

    Yes There could be a number of reasons for this, but anything specific will certainly be RAFO'd. Also, fyi, instead of double posting, what you want to do is click the Edit link under your existing post, and add any further thoughts/questions that way.

    ...I didn't say it did? I'm pretty sure I said the opposite?

    I don't think that all forms of investiture that we see existed on Yolen, but that some of the ones we have now have some resemblances to the ones on Yolen. They should all work on the same fundamental principles, after all. The Shattering would affect the manifestations, but it shouldn't have affected the underlying architecture. Kind of like being next door to a supernova. Locally, a lot of things will have changed--gravitational effects, orbits, etc. But the laws of physics still dictate how all that falls out.

    Um, Syl's father is the Stormfather. Also, Ico is the Releaser captain. Notum was the honorspren captain.

    I picked Preservation, because he accurately was able to predict and manipulate events thousands of years after he predicted them. He gave the Terris their prophecies before he crafted Ruin's cage (and sacrificed most of his consciousness to do so), and that was some thousands of years, it seems, before they came to fruition.

    That's just how Adonalsium happened to Shatter. He could have Shattered in a different way, but it turned out to be in this particular way.
  21. RShara
    I don't think people's beliefs affect the power of a Shard. A Shard's power is investiture, and that is, as far as we've seen, a set amount for each Shard, divided up evenly among the 16 at the Shattering. At most, acting in a way that aligns you to the intent of that Shard makes it easier for that Shard to influence you, or ties you more closely to that Shard. The latter being not particularly important unless you're trying to take up the power of that Shard or trying to attract the attention of it/its Splinters/etc or something along those lines.

    The Southern continent isn't actually cold. It's normal-human-range temperature. The Southerners just, for some reason, are extreme-heat adapted. So normal temperature for us is incredibly cold for them.

    We don't really know why he didn't help them. It is odd, and we don't have a good explanation for it right now.

    There are definitely not millions or billions of Nahel spren. Most of them died 2000 years ago, so their populations are still recovering. And even then, since the majorities of them were bonded, and there were never millions of Knights, I'd say hundreds or thousands at the most.

    His goal is to escape from Roshar and Splinter Cultivation, plus perhaps further Splinter the Stormfather and the bits of Honor floating around. The singers' with their gemhearts allowing them to get possessed and heavily influenced by Odium makes them better pawns, but he is also trying to subvert humans, as we saw in Kholinar and Jah Keved and the Battle of Thaylen Fields. Whatever pawns come to hand are okay with him.
