  1. When you say not happy, you mean that the book is finished, right?
  2. There are two main things that you're a bit confused on. First is you're assumption that three is the hemalurgic limit. That is just when Harmony can take control of you. If he approves, you're good. That isn't really relevant though, because you're second misunderstanding is that a single person has to store all the attributes. I don't have the quote, but Allik says that the creators of the medallions pass it to others with different powers. For some reason they can't figure out how to pass it around to get more than three or four powers. Hope that helps answer your question!
  3. Except that the rats would gain intelligence over time and eventually rise up to conquer their human overlords.
  4. No, nicrosil stores Investiture, and stormlight is just another form of Investiture. You are using your nicrosil metalmind to fuel the surges you already have.
  5. Yeah, but it’s not the same, you know?
  6. And you say, “Sure! When will they be swearing their complete allegiance to me?”
  7. Yes. I’ve seen that one, but it felt different somehow? Anyway, yay for redundancy!
  8. I totally agree, that's how I read the full title. It's just that when I first saw it in the main page of the sight, all I could see was, "Is anyone interested in me...".
  9. Honestly, SotD is so far in the future practically anything is possible. That said, I think your definitely on to something. I think I'll follow this topic along. Also, have an upvote!
  10. A constant problem on the Shard for me has been seeing someone's profile picture or signature and thinking, "Rusts. I need to give that all the upvotes." But then the actual post they made didn't really warrant an upvote to you, so you move on and forget about it. Now, if I'm being stupid and there is already a thread that has this basic functionality or you can do this directly in someone's profile, tell me. Otherwise I thought we could start here! EDIT: I figure we can also upvote for awesome ranks or usernames!
  11. Check out this link. A bunch of Sharders mapped their location on it, which might help your search. As for me, I definitely can't. I don't know if only moderators and the like can move topics, but if you can it would probably fit better in the "Community" section, under General Discussion or Social, not sure which one.
  12. How is Kelsier supposed to be pronounced?
  13. Exactly, thank you. That’s what I meant to say.

    So... Kandra

    Well... I suppose I did tell you to rip it apart! Upvote for you! However, I'm still curious what happens to the mistwraiths. Do they revert back to a mistwraith or do they keep the personality they had as a kandra? Regardless, this theory/idea is pretty much done.
  15. Yes. That. You said it much better than I did.
  16. When you watch this and spend the whole time thinking, "Where are the storming Rosharian cities?"
  17. How do you pronounce Kell’s name? I’ve always just said it Kell • see • er.

    So... Kandra

    Well, shoot. I totally missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't think it changes the fundamentals of the theory, but I'll edit that in.

    So... Kandra

    EDIT: This theory has been pretty soundly disproved due to fundamental errors as pointed out by @Weltall. I don't know exactly when to put spoilers and when not too, but don't read further unless you've read Mistborn. I was thinking. Yes, I know, I'm proud of me too. In Secret History we see what happens to koloss in the CR when they die. They separate into the people that were used to spike them without memory or knowledge of their life as a koloss. That's a relief, right? It means it didn't change the people into bloodthirsty monsters, they were more used as a battery against their will. But how does this translate to kandra? First off, I'd like to make clear that- in my eyes at least- over the course of its life, a kandra is three sentient, intelligent beings. Two people (made into Blessings), and the kandra itself. The original kandra were four sentient intelligent beings because the mistwraith was actually a Feruchemist. So when a kandra dies, how does it appear in the CR? Does it split into the two blessings and the original Feruchemist, the kandra wiped away? 'Cause that would suck. I mean, a Ryshadium- a storming horse- gets into the Beyond and a fully sentient immortal stops existing? Doesn't make sense. Therefore, I propose that when Hemalurgy (do you capitalize that?) is used in a way that it fundamentally changes the recipient of the spike, so much so that their personality is immediately and drastically effected, it creates an entirely new soul. In this case, I believe that when a kandra dies, four beings appear in the CR. However, I've just run into a couple of problems. Right now a certain question has been created. "So, do koloss and those disgusting wolf people in the Homeland enter the CR in death, and go to the Beyond?" I would say it depends on the sentience and intelligence on the being in question. For instance, the disgusting wolf people I would classify as simply dissipating into the people used to create it. For original Era 1 koloss I would probably say the same. Era 2 koloss are different, because the human turned koloss remembers his life as a human, and is roughly the same person. When you start getting into koloss like Human, it begins to get philosophical. That concludes my rambling theory. Feel free to rip it apart!
