Wire really rocked that list!
-
I think it's the second option.
-
Shouldn't the title of this topic be "Things Gavilar's Black Sphere Definitely are." ? Also, at least two of those are mine

They can't hold most of Odium's investiture. Odium was strong and skilled enough to kill at least 3 Shards before getting trapped on Roshar--Ambition, Devotion, and Dominion. And he clearly still has most of his power now. The Unmade have to have been created after he got stuck in the Rosharan system, and I really don't think they contain most of his power. A decent chunk, yes, but not most.

Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds Release Party
RShara replied to Wyndlerunner's topic in Events and Signings
I got mine! When do we know what number we are? -
Pretty sure Forging is going to take just as much energy as Soulcasting--i.e. so much that it's essentially impossible.
-
It would be extremely difficult, because the Shardblades are basically solidified investiture. The more Invested something is, the harder it is to affect with additional investiture. Soulcasting something so heavily Invested would require so much investiture as to be essentially impossible.

So it's white powder, not sand. And yeah, it sounds like a dessicant, rather than anything magical.

Can a scadrian be both a mistborn and a ferring?
RShara replied to MasterK-Bob's question in Cosmere Q&A
Brandon's said that the Allomantic gene interferes with the Feruchemical gene, and that's why there are Ferrings now, so I would imagine the same thing happens in reverse--the Feruchemical gene interferes with the Allomantic gene, making it unlikely for a person to be a Mistborn and Ferring. If a Ferring were to ingest lerasium, or receive the appropriate spikes, then yeah, they should be able to become Mistborn and a Ferring. -
In-depth Information about Autonomy [Request]
RShara replied to Willshaper Wallar's question in Cosmere Q&A
Autonomy is the Shard involved in White Sand and Sixth of the Dusk, but she doesn't actually make any appearances in them. We don't really know much about her. She likes to form avatars of herself and meddle on various planets. That's about all we know, aside from the Coppermind references. -
I wonder if they were referring to Shallan herself? This is before they knew Veil was Shallan, after all. Of course, they had just tried to kill Shallan (well, Jasnah, with Shallan being incidental). I guess probably Kaladin. Maybe they were hoping to recruit him. Was there a member of the Ghostbloods involved with Moash's plot against Elhokar?

It wouldn't be able to grow on Roshar. Water, or liquids, causes it to give off any power it has and turn black. Roshar's basically a perpetual storm lol. And when it's not storming, it's still pretty humid. The lichen wouldn't really have a chance to gain much of a foothold. Also, it probably requires some nutrients from the sand itself that rocky Roshar wouldn't provide well.
-
For sure, a Returned could do it.
-
I doubt it. Lichen grows on most planets.
-
But red and white, and red and black, are hard to get mixed up with each other, unless one is red/green colorblind
-
I didn't say anything about it not being in the CR of a planet?
-
Brandon confirmed it for sure here:
-
The meta answer is likely that Brandon likes the sound of some letter combinations and ends up using them more often (or because he's trying for a specific name, like Matisse). The in-world answer could be that many of the languages have a common root, from Yolish, and so some similarities pop up from time to time.
-
Edgli sounds like a dragon to me, for some reason. She seems non-intervention like Frost is, maybe? Just uh...with more teeth behind it. *ducks and runs*

How much can/will stormlight change the physical aspect of
RShara replied to Owlgal's topic in Stormlight Archive
So the soul knows how you're supposed to look. But then your cognitive self has a mental image, which affects what you heal to. If your cognitive self image is low or missing, then you'd just heal to your soul default. Although I don't think the cognitive self-image involves what you think you look like when you see yourself in the mirror, but rather things that you know about yourself. Like, Kaladin probably doesn't constantly walk around thinking of "my face but with scars," or picturing his face with scars. Rather, he thinks, "I have scars." And he feels that so deeply that when he tries to heal or even cover them up, they always come through. -
There are some similarities, but the big difference to me is that the fungus on Taldain is killed/expended when a sandmaster uses it, and completely consumed/removed from the sand when eaten by a sandling, and the sandling never gains any particular power from it. And the sandmaster doesn't need to eat the fungus to master Unless that's part of the initiation that we haven't seen......
-
That makes two of us.
-
Actually, Roshar is a high oxygen environment.
-
Yeah I think Brandon is making an effort to not insert his personal beliefs into his books. I mean, they are going to be there sometimes. I don't think it'd be possible for them not to influence his writing. But he makes an effort to offer things from multiple viewpoints, even ones he personally disagrees with, as part of his worldbuilding and learning, and tries to avoid any blatant insertion or definitive "this is the one true way" type theme.
-
He can't harm himself either. He had to have someone punch him to pull out a tooth. I think he just pretended to hit himself, just to confuse poor Bordin.
