Stormlight - Chemistry, Physics, or Simply Magic?
RShara replied to Dawnbearer's topic in Stormlight Archive
I'm curious about where Roshar's atmosphere is denser than Earth's comes from?- 53 replies

Maybe in a new post, since that's not really relevant to this particular topic, which is almost two years old? Also, there are WoBs about that.

Nightblood could eat up smaller perpendicularities. We don't know exactly how much was in the Well, so can't say exactly whether it's small enough or not. Eventually, Nightblood would probably get "full" and possibly explode into bits because he's too full, though. Since he gets pretty woozy and confused after just a few minutes of being drawn and absorbing investiture.

I'm pretty sure that was one of the conclusions in the thread that I linked.

https://coppermind.net/wiki/Roshar#Planetary_System It's spelled Salas there. The moons are more like Mars' moons, very small and more like large asteroids than large moons like Earth's. So while they have some effect on the tides and such, it's not a big one. Also, the moons' orbit (which is impossible, btw) doesn't vary. The moons rise and set at the exact same time every day, in the exact same place. Cusicesh does his thing in the morning, long after the last moon has set. The entire Rosharan system was designed and created by Adonalsium. Honor didn't place the moons at all. You can find a technical discussion of the moons and their orbits in this thread

I replied to your same post in another thread. FYI, this thread is over a year old

The Purelake isn't perfectly flat. The water is, because it's so shallow and still. The lake bed has crevices and crannies and promontories and the like and it varies in depth. And I'm pretty sure the stormward side of Urithiru is flat because it's a giant pane of glass?

I don't think armor is automatic. You need to know how to do it. And Shallan isn't interested in doing so.

Except that it does make sense? She swore the first one offscreen, or it was leftover from her being one as a child. Then I'm Frightened/I killed my father/I killed my mother. That makes 4.
-
According to Brandon, Shallan was at the 4th level at the end of WoR, and we don't see her swear anything in Oathbringer, so she's still on the 4th.

What Is Awakening’s Fuel? And a Poster Challenge!
RShara replied to Confused's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I don't have an official theory. I just think that color is drained and it has nothing to do with photons. I'm positive that color would be drained from something that had never been exposed to EMR at all.- 23 replies

What Is Awakening’s Fuel? And a Poster Challenge!
RShara replied to Confused's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I'm sure that the gemstone would work no matter what planet it was mined from, in regards to my question. Gemheart not necessary.- 23 replies

According to Brandon, historically, it hasn't happened before.

I'll keep an eye out next time I read Warbreaker

It doesn't have to be a universal donor as in it came from a person. Just something like O-.

Jasnah is an Elsecaller, which means she can step into Shadesmar when she wants to, once she learns how to control it. Willshapers also have the Surge of Transportation. You might be interested in this deleted scene about Jasnah: https://www.tor.com/2014/08/06/stormlight-archive-scene-after-words-of-radiance/

What context did you see it in? Because it could refer to the Cosmere or to the Roshar system.

You can find the collection at wob.coppermind.net.

If you think about it from a light and cut perspective, it makes sense. In a rough gemstone, light will leak from it randomly in all sorts of directions. When a gem's been cut correctly, light is bounced around the inside of the gem, and only (mostly) released in the desired direction, usually upward toward a "face". So with Stormlight, the energy is bounced around the inside of the gem instead of constantly escaping, and escapes less through most of the gem, containing the energy better, and slowing the leakage.

5 is half of 10, and more controllable in a series than 10, imo.

Yeah solidified Stormlight is my currently slightly preferred theory. It has some problems but makes more sense than the lesser spren theory.

I'm hoping for Rlain.
