A: RAFO)

* What are willshapers? On Roshar?

* Are there tools on each world (other than a hemarleric spike) that can change the sDNA to match the world? Or are there other ways to do it, perhaps unique to each world? (leading to, how the heck is Hoid getting power from each world?)

* Can Splintered shards be put back together? Can Adonalsium be put back together?

A: They are a group of people who aren't convinced that Hoid should be doing what he is doing.)

* 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.)

* 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?

* Does Hemalergy require the death of the person the sDNA is pulling from? No, but in most cases it would cause it because it causes damage to the soul. (WoB: Q: Hemalurgy, does the person having the metal shoved through them have to die? B: It has to rip off a piece of their soul. That normally results in death.

* 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 A: She has appeared in--if you ask around about Khriss, she has appeared in unpublished books.Q: Is Khriss the author of some of the Ars Arcanums?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. I am sure it is Khriss: [http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/23181-ars-arcana-author-confirmed/?p=226286 link].
