Q: The definition you gave me a few years ago was that the Commands were the focus for Awakening, and Aons were the focus for AonDor, and metals are the focus for the Metallic Arts... and you haven't given us a proper definition.
A: RAFO)
* Who is the Author of the Ars Arcanum? What is it? (I think it is latin for “Art [of] Secrets” or Book of Secret Stuff.) Maybe Hoid wrote it? (Although the copper mind says no, it gives no reference) When was it created? Is it one book, or just a holding place for the secrets of each novel? It is one person, and not Hoid. Maybe Khriss? (WoB: Q: The Ars Arcanum in the back of [The Alloy of Law] - who is written by? A: Same person that's written every one of them.) (WoB: Q: A couple of days ago, you mentioned some person called Khriss. Has he actually appeared or been referenced in any of… A: She! has appeared and.... Q: I guessed as much because one of the pictures says "Dear woman!" toward the end of the book. A: She has appeared in--if you ask around about Khriss, she has appeared in unpublished books.Q: Is Khriss the author of some of the Ars Arcanums? A: [Teasing]Oh I dunno. That's very interesting Q: Does Khriss owe Nazh a new coat? A: [Long pause]I'll stay closed mouthed on Khriss.) (WoB: Q: In whose voice is the "Ars Arcanum" written? Hoid's? A: I've avoided answering that question. It's either Hoid or a member of the 17th Shard. That's as much answer as I'm giving anyone right now.) It is a woman that writes it, WoP: It is not a coicendence that the actor reading that part is a woman, http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/7131-nazh-in-words-of-radiance/page-2?qpid=166639
* What are willshapers? On Roshar?
* What is a “Dragon”? Someone from Yolin who has been around a while and done stuff? Some of which took up shards, and some of which did not?
* Why does Aluminum have weird effects on all magic systems? (WoB: Q: You said that on Roshar the only reason they have aluminum is that they can Soulcast it, right? I think you said something like that … maybe? I was wondering how that would work, if an Allomancer were to-- A: Aluminum has some weird properties on all of the magic systems, not just allomancy. It does not have the same effect, but aluminum has some bizarre effects.)
* Three sentient races on Yolen? (WoB: Q: Were the original sixteen Shardholders after the shattering all human? A: Uh … RAFO. There are three races on Yolen. Three sentient races.)
* So who all was there for the Shattering? 16 + Hoid and Khrissthe andDragon? Nazh,Maybenone andof thethem Dragon?were actually there. Maybe they all just Andshowed maybeup Mraiselater?
* How can Hemalergy work with other magic systems? Does it take the investiture or the sDNA from the host. I think the sDNA, but then what about other worlds where sDNA doesn't seem to mean as much as on Scadrial?
* If you managed to create an Aon that would work on Roshar, which Shard would you be pulling power from?
