→Personal List of Questions for Brandon:
|
#If Ruin and Preservation had picked Roshar instead of Scadrial, would magical abilities still divide into sets of 16? Would they still be based on metals?
#Would a Soother be able to prevent a listener from attuning a given rhythm? Force a specific form?
#You've used the term spiritual DNA. Every cell in our body has a complete copy of our physical DNA, and With the right tools a small sample of DNA can tell you a ton about the person it came from. Is the same true of sDNA? Could a forensic analysis of a piece of identity (e.g. left in a metalmind or an awakened object) paint a complete picture of the user's origins and/or spiritweb? Do such tools exist in the Cosmere?
#Do Sleepless have hemalurgic bindpoints?
#Could a kandra wear the body of a Sleepless?
#Is there a Radiant order that would accept Allomancer Jak?▼
*Scadrial:
#
#Does duralumin share aluminum's allomantic shielding abilities?
#If you use two different metals to make a spike (i.e. glued together, not alloyed) could you steal two different abilities from the same person?
#A kandra obtains access to feruchemy by spiking Ferring A, and wears the body of Ferring B, both of whom had full metalminds when they died. Which of the metalminds will she be able to access?
▲#Is there a Radiant order that would accept Allomancer Jak?
*Stormlight:
#Sleepless are similar to Vinge's Tines from Fire Upon the Deep. Do sleepless have difficulty being close to/intermingling one another? Is membership in a horde fluid?
#Assuming the necessary pieces were in place, if a knight radiant travelled by oathgate to the moon Salas, would she appear instantaneously or would speed of light constraints apply?
#I love the scripts Isaac has created so far for Roshar. Are there plans to include pieces of the Dawnchant in future books?
#Mraize shoots a cremling with a blow gun. Sleepless?
*Nalthis:
#Awakening is powered by breath and fueled by color. Only Nathian breaths work: what about off-world colors?
#Would powering awakening with e.g. stormlight still drain color, or would it pull from a different physical property?
#What proportion of a person's inherent investiture makes up a breath? 5%? 50%?
*Threnody:
#According to Silence, the Forests of Hell have carried that name and been populated by shades since well before the Evil befell Homeland. Were the Deepest Ones also present prior to the Evil?
#On Threnody, are there different Simple Rules governing conduct when in Shadesmar as compared to the physical realm?
*Non-Cosmere:
#Are there Rithmatists in Europe/Asia?
#If you leave a hole in your circle of warding, will that impact its overall integrity?
#Joel and the Dowser: simple self delusion shouldn't be able to fool the dowser. What's going on here?
