    You're underestimating Brandon. He's got the Aes Sedai answer nailed down. His use of "people" instead of "humans" is significant.

    Remember that we only get a couple Jasnah PoVs. Most of our perception of her comes from Shallan's PoVs, and Shallan is.........very much an unreliable observer when it comes to Jasnah.

    Any Returned can have children, but there's a trick to it that we don't know, so it's hard to speculate. It might be related to how their body is technically dead, in a way? Or it could be what you said, which now that I think about it, seems appealing to me. That the fetus also requires a Breath a week to survive, and they don't know it, so the fetus dies. But the priests know how it works, so they tell the God-king or arrange for someone anyway, to give it the needed Breath every week.

    One of these days, I'll type up my T is a Plant post again, and this will all make sense

    Where is Kelsier?

    RShara replied to Karger's topic in Mistborn

    My belief is that the original Feruchemists were made from a previous Hero of Ages. A change of that nature, that actually is passed down genetically, should require a huge amount of power to do. Like, the way living Feruchemists were turned into Mistwraiths.

    Willshapers have Transportation. That's the surge that allows them to slip between Realms. We don't need additional confirmation.
  7. RShara
    You can if you're a Willshaper, but Elsecallers specialize in it, it sounds like.
  8. RShara
    This seems inefficient. If you can use Transformation, you are only ever putting your mind into Shadesmar, and we have no idea if you can wander far from it (and it would be a really bad idea if you could). If you have Transportation, then you don't need to use Transformation. You can enter mentally or physically and do what you want.

    Pre-history doesn't necessarily mean pre-existance, though.

    A dead Shardblade doesn't really affect your spiritweb, so I would say no, you're not going to be able to become any kind of savant with just a dead Shardblade.
  11. RShara
    Nicrosil, and that would be simpler, yeah. I'm not sure on its hardness, though.
  12. RShara
    The Shards on Sel arrived and were Splintered in the pre-history of that world. I don't think any records remain from that period of time. Also, Brandon has said that the Splintering predates Shu-Keseg.

    I'm not able to find this reference, do you remember where it is? I distinctly remember that the smaller airship was noted as only having to power its own weight. NVM I just found it. There's weight-changing machinery that can be primed with Feruchemy. But it still sounds much more complicated than what could be made into a suit of armor. And it sounds like what I said it would be--A-pewter would make people around it stronger. F-iron might allow weight increase or reduction in a radius. I don't think it affects the metal of the primer itself.
  14. RShara
    I'm talking about the metal of the cube, not the ettmetal. Or the metal of the suit of armor. Obviously ettmetal is invested. It's Harmonium, and that's been confirmed. The cube emanates the power, yes, but it doesn't imbue itself with the power. As in, the cube itself is not strengthened by pewter or made heavier by iron. Given the AoE effect it has, imbuing it with A-pewter or F-pewter would most likely make the people around it stronger, not make the metal of the cube itself stronger.

    Syl was the only Honorspren left of the first honorspren that the Stormfather created. After the Recreance, the Stormfather created only 10 more honorspren. All current honorspren are descended from those 10.
  16. RShara
    Okay. My point remains. The cube imbues people with power, it doesn't retain any of it itself.
  17. RShara
    Okay, but how does that make it resistant to a Shardblade? It's not actually Invested. F-iron makes a person lighter or heavier, A-pewter makes a person stronger. The cube grants people the ability it's been charged with. It doesn't imbue itself with that power. It's not more dense or stronger just because it's been charged with F-iron or A-pewter.
  18. RShara
    It's not the cube that emits power, it's the ettmetal inside. The cube is just a device to harness the power, like the housing of a fabrial. The metal of the cube housing isn't anything particularly useful.
  19. RShara
    The medallions need a person using them. They don't function just on their own or attached to armor. That being said, anything with a lot of investiture in it would function to help block the magical cutting effects of a Shardblade. So making armor out of a metalmind or spike should make it resistant to a Shardblade, to a degree. It seems like a difficult and expensive prospect, though. It'd be simpler, if you have F-iron and A-pewter, to just avoid the Shardblade.

    Psst, this thread is almost four years old

    I don't know if they have enough mental power to do anything with the powers they'd get. But theoretically? It should?
  22. RShara
    Those abilities are part of the spiritweb, and we have a WoB that creating a Lifeless is like creating a fake soul for the person. So I don't think that the abilities carry over. Maybe some memories and such do, since memories likely are part of the physical brain (too), but I doubt any spiritweb-linked powers would. Maaaaaayyyyyybe slightly more likely if the person was made Lifeless with their own Breath, but since only Nalthians are born with Breath, that would make it even more unlikely.

    We only have T's word that Dova was actually Battar, and that she's a Herald. He might be lying about it to Dalinar to disguise the knowledge he got from the Diagram. I personally think Vedel is the one hanging around T, and that he doesn't know it. And that she is one of the Silent Gatherers, because what would be a better inverse of Loving and Healing?
  24. RShara
    Depending on the attribute, you might end up Compounding yourself to death, but it'd be a fun ride! There's a limit that Feruchemy and Allomancy protect you from their usage, like how you're slightly more resistant to friction when you're steel compounding. But there's still a limit to that. I suspect burning duralumin while compounding would exceed that limit.
  25. RShara
    Or Beard was just making up stories, since all of them are pretty outlandish and have details wrong.
