Hello! I'm Spriy. I started reading the cosmere a little while back when I was given the first three books of the Stormlight Archive for Christmas. I'm still kicking myself that it took two rereads of not just Stormlight, but Mistborn, Warbreaker, and Elantris as well to realize why so many of the characters are named [[Hoid]].▼

|Sense, Odium. The only kind I have is nonsense. Well, and some cents, but cents are nonsense here too--so we can ignore them. Scents are mine aplenty, and you never cared for the ones I present. So instead, the sense that matters is the sense Dalinar sensibly sent you.

I like to go to random pages on the wiki in my spare time and see if there's anything about them that I can polish up, so if you see any mistakes that I've made, don't hesitate to revert them.
If you think about it, we're all [[Copper#Feruchemical Use|Archivists]].
*Updating [[Dabbid]] to RoW▼
*Updating [[Terris]] to post-Catacendre, as well as adding their culture (i.e. social structure, speech patterns, etc.). This would be a good idea, I think.▼
*Gathering every WoB on Hoid into a manageable portion on my Ref Sandbox so that I can actually make some decent speculation on his wiki page▼

== Cosmere theories ==
*[[Trellium]] is an alloy of lerasium and atium. The way that I think it works stems from the fact that Sazed holds two Shards with conflicting Intents, but the Intent of him, the Vessel, leans more closely to Preservation. My theory is that this disunity caused another personality to manifest; one that
*Even if Dabbid did obtain a Nahel bond, it wouldn't cure his "difference". He postulates that it was brain damage caused by his umbilical cord almost strangling him at birth, but even if that was the case, the Nahel bond doesn't repair trauma-induced mental illness. Szeth's psychosis remained even after bonding his highspren, and Shallan's DID actually manifested in earnest
▲*[[Trellium]] is an alloy of lerasium and atium. The way that I think it works stems from the fact that Sazed holds two Shards with conflicting Intents, but the Intent of him, the Vessel, leans more closely to Preservation. My theory is that this disunity caused another personality to manifest; one that "also" holds the Shards, but leans more closely toward Ruin. It would also explain how Trell would be able to both prevent Sazed from realizing who they are and blocking his Connection to Paalm, "and" how it was possible to make a Hemalurgic spike out of trellium.
▲*Even if Dabbid did obtain a Nahel bond, it wouldn't cure his "difference". He postulates that it was brain damage caused by his umbilical cord almost strangling him at birth, but even if that was the case, the Nahel bond doesn't repair trauma-induced mental illness. Szeth's psychosis remained even after bonding his highspren, and Shallan's DID actually manifested in earnest "after" bonding Testament and Pattern. Poor Dabbid.
*There's atium in the Well of Ascension, since Sazed would have put both his perpendicularities in the same spot to save mind space.
*On the topic of atium: If you forged a weapon out of it and stabbed an Allomancer who was burning a metal, you'd gain the metal's effects. (Raysium conducts his counterpart's Investiture; atium would likely do the same.)
*The four Dawnshard Commands are Create, Destroy, Change, and Preserve
*Vasher says, "I'm old, son. Repeating myself makes me eat the wrong flower", meaning that it makes him get mad. This is obviously because he's using Investiture to speak Alethi like Hoid does, and some idioms don't translate well, but my theory is that back on Nalthis, Awakeners ingested Edgli's Tears in order to have a ready source of color, but said flowers could sometimes be difficult to tell between Shardflowers and regular flowers.
▲*The four Dawnshard Commands are Create, Destroy, Change, and Preserve.
*Adonalsium was not a person; it was a metal. Aluminum, to be precise. This is why it is immune to all types of Investiture--it's already intensely Invested, with the power of none of the sixteen, and so none of the sixteen Investitures can affect it. To a lesser extent, this is also why metal appears the same as souls to Shards--it has the same level of Investiture. It even ''sounds'' like a metal.
*[[Sixteen]] was the worldhopper who brought [[Nightblood]] to Roshar.
*In his fight with the koloss, [[Elend]] had a sudden instinct for how to win the fight. That was [[Ruin]]'s influence, as the koloss sword was partially inside of him and functioned as a spike.
