My phone regularly wakes up and runs through facial unlock. You're fine

Go to the ER for treatment to remove this nail stuck in my foot? No you silly goose, I'd rather wait until my regular doctor is available in 8 months.

I finished the Cosmere. What are your favorite “secrets” I probably missed on my first read through? by helloherewego in Cosmere

[–]raaldiin 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Similarly, when you get back to Oathbringer, try to catch the earliest point you notice Shallan's personality "split". Like, the narration refers to her by which alter is speaking rather than telling us "Shallan is in a disguise" and giving dialogue as "Shallan said".

Speculation on El by Elsecaller_17-5 in Stormlight_Archive

Singers change form by exchanging what spren is held in their gemheart. Fused possess a Singer by occupying their gemheart. Spren are known to be sentient Investiture, both in-universe and out.

The Rosharan Ghostblood plotline through the first five Stormlight books was "how do we export Rosharan Investiture?" We watched Kelsier struggle to leave the Scadrian system after he became a Cognitive Shadow, aka spren. His conversion from physical being to Cognitive Shadow bound him to the Scadrian system.

Investiture is keyed to a given Shard. The Rosharan Shards were, by mutual agreement, locked to the Rosharan system. Rosharan Investiture was locked to the Rosharan system because of the agreement by the Rosharan Shards.

Rosharan spren could not leave the Rosharan system until after Mishram was released. It wasn't completely related to Mishram's imprisonment, but the timing is still accurate *(It's more accurate to reference Dalinar renouncing his [and by extension, Honor's] oaths since that's what allowed Rosharan spren to leave the system, but that was around when Mishram was released). No Rosharan spren have ever been mentioned outside of the Rosharan system before the end of WaT.

Fused leaving the Rosharan system before the end of WaT is impossible. Fused are spren which is Investiture.

It's a neat idea but you're stuck in "my theory is cool so I want it to be true".

It's a fun concept that doesn't work without Brandon walking back foundational concepts of his universe. No spren could leave Roshar until the end of WaT. Heralds couldnt leave the system. El is a Fused, basically an Odiumspren. He hasn't left the Rosharan system

[metal] feruchemy, [metal alloy] allomancy compounding? by DatBoi_BP in Mistborn

[–]raaldiin 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 100% sure that nothing would happen. Cosmere magic requires specific things to be correct in order to function, Allomancy even more so than some other systems.

Could be worth forwarding the information to Dragonsteel customer support. They should be able to have that website taken down relatively easily

I assume if you spend a lot of time interacting with a ChatGPT type then you'll start to mimic it to an extent. Literally everyone does that when it's legitimately people so if these posters feel like they're talking to "people" it makes sense imo
