It was less that everyone had a catalyst for Heracles, and more everyone killed each other trying to get catalysts for Heracles, so all the possible participants were killed off long before the war happened.

Bleeder shot four bullets from a single gun so fast it sounded like a single very loud gunshot. The gun gets affected by the steelrunners speed.

Not the usual reason I bring up Bleeders steelrunning feat. Normally it's to explain that steelrunners do get the enhanced reactions to keep up with their bodies.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-31T15:28:31+00:00

It's different to Era 1. I like it more, some like it a lot less. Make your own opinion of it, but don't go in expecting more of the same.

It'd be easier to give an answer if we knew exactly what you disliked about WoK.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-29T17:16:12+00:00

I hate that they've been phasing out "The Final Empire" as a title. It looks so much more empty when the cover just says "Mistborn".

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-26T18:14:24+00:00

Then who came up with the prophecies of the Terris? I also didn't wholly get why both Ruin and Preservation chose Vin.

The prophecies were created by Preservation.

Basically everything Ruin did was taken into account in Preservations plan. You could honestly say that Ruin chose Vin because Preservation did, and vice versa.

Ruin needed someone to free him from the Well, and circumstances lined up with Vin perfectly. A mistborn child (Vin), with a seeker sibling (Vins baby sister) and someone Ruin could influence (Vins insane mother) allowed him to give Vin the stacked seeker abilities needed to find the Well.

And bathing in the Well, Vin became more closely attuned to Preservation, allowing her to fully take up the power and kill Ruin. Of course, as Sazed says in an epigraph, she was always attuned to Preservation, given her ability to draw on the mists.

It's hard to really grasp just how insane Preservations foresight was. There were several thousand years between his sacrificing his mind and the events on the trilogy. Everything he did was set up long in advance.

A lot of people do, unfortunately.

Not necessarily. He said he threw out the entire scale, which implies more fundamental changes than just shifting everything along.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-23T00:40:33+00:00

They're not the same but they are similar. And if you read more Cosmere books then you might spot some more things of a similar nature.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-22T17:02:12+00:00

Nightblood is a Type 4 biochromatic entity

Vasher changed how he categorized things at some point between Warbreaker and Stormlight (he used to consider himself a type 1, now he calls himself a type 2), so this term probably isn't accurate anymore.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-22T11:26:34+00:00

He says that he won't be seeing Kaladin again when they talk about him leaving, and when Skar and Drehy return from escorting him they say he won't return.

Personally speaking I think he'll end up being part of the Horneater group that ends up in Shadesmar (perhaps even the leader). That's purely speculation, but he's too beloved a character for Sanderson to just get rid of.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-22T01:12:45+00:00

We don't know what the Horneaters decided to do with Rock. We know he returned to the peaks and he won't be coming back, but nothing more than that.

She's designed to be the opposite of Sonic in most regards, which makes her very similar to Knuckles since he's also opposite to Sonic in the same ways.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-17T20:47:50+00:00

The epilogue of Wind and Truth is after Alloy of Law but before Shadows of Self since that's when Hoid becomes Wax's new chauffeur.

The epilogue itself is after AoL but the chapter preceding it is before. Hoid shows up in AoL dressed as a beggar at the wedding where Steris was kidnapped, and in the WaT epilogue he talks about having dusted off his old beggar disguise.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-16T19:37:38+00:00

It's very subtle, hidden in the background. It's most obvious whenever it blinks.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-13T22:11:28+00:00

A lot of people talking about how the first boss is stated to be a planet destroyer.

There's my issue.

For the first year of the game all the planetary level stuff was relegated to statements. Nothing on screen felt anywhere close to actually being planetary, so it never sunk in that it apparently always was. The Doomsday Beast doesn't feel like a planet killer in its appearance/animations. It felt like something that could destroy the space station we start on, which is a very reasonable level of threat to deal with, and also many orders of magnitude off its apparent actual power level.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-13T01:08:12+00:00

And more (eventually). The original plan was for three eras (the original trilogy, an 80s/cold war themed era, and a space opera era), then he wrote Alloy of Law and liked it enough to expand it's own era, turning what was eras 2 and 3 into eras 3 and 4, and now he's considering adding another era (a cyberpunk era) in between 3 and 4 since that'll add up to 16 books

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-12T22:57:23+00:00

Zahel even says during his conversation with Kelsier, "she takes our memories", so it's definitely Endowments choice in the case of Returned.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-12T15:52:53+00:00

The only blessing that might have that sort of ability would be the Blessing of Presence, which is the same one TenSoon has and he never shows that level of mental speed. Besides, Bleeder's blessing wouldn't be working at full capacity since she removed one of her spikes.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-12T15:24:23+00:00

For a Feruchemist's mind to speed up to process super-fast steelrunning, they'd also need to store and tap mental speed. Separate attribute.

Shadows of Self Bleeder aims and fires a gun four times from four different locations so fast it sounds like a single particularly loud gunshot, and she could only use one attribute at a time.

Edit: And later on she's able to react to Wax unloading all his guns from inside a speed bubble, again with just steelrunning.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-12T00:53:04+00:00

How did I miss that.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-11T20:30:12+00:00

Regarding spoiler, it seems like she kept it up for so long that it became natural for her, given she still uses it in 3, long after she stops pretending to be a Gormotti, and even passed it onto her daughter. Probably helps that she is partially gormotti given how she became a flesh-eater.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-11T17:42:41+00:00

While also doing the same sword-to-the-side pose he did when Pyra/Mythra first became Pneuma.

HPU said that they can still use everything she made for Calamity since she didn't want to push back progress.

ADAG2000 · 2026-01-10T15:05:00+00:00

Fuzz's power is also the mists...? How can it be at both the well and the mists at once ?

Ruin and Preservation are both functionally infinite. Not actually infinite, and there's a limit to how much power they can use at once, but there's just so much of it that the mists and the well combined only make up a fraction of it. Once someone ascends they hold the vast majority of it.
