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.

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.

Current projects

• Actually understanding the wiki syntax
• Updating Dabbid to RoW
• Polishing my update on Venli
• Finish up Nikli
• Kill my computer by importing the missing Arcanum metadata for all the pages that don't have it all at once

WARNING. BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER, BE AWARE THAT THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE COSMERE.

Cosmere theories

• Hoid is trying to reform Adonalsium, with himself as its Vessel. There's a WoB saying that one of his quests is "to make that which it once was", and we know that he's been trying to gain access to every form of Investiture out there. Let's ignore the obvious hole in my argument that he was once a Dawnshard and gave it up.
• Trell is an avatar of Autonomy. Very original theory here.
• 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.
• Huio's Third Ideal was a little iffy. Using Kaladin's Third Ideal as a reference: He was literally protecting the man indirectly responsible for his brother's death. Lopen is incapable of hurting anyone "nearly" that badly, especially just with words. He's not Hoid.
• Kelsier has had quite the journey. He went from being a psychopathic, regicidal anarchist to a glorified spren to a Type I Invested Entity leading an intergalactic organization that wants to set up an economy in a land from nursery rhymes.
• 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.)
• Cultivation's God Metal should totally be called koravellium.
• There's a big plot hole in The Emperor's Soul, being that Shai didn't need to reforge his entire soul--she just needed to write a seal where the crossbow bolt missed him.
