@@Ms.Pronounced_Name I had almost exactly the same thought process, though I also wonder about the Connector ordeal. I don't think a Connectors ability works like that. As far as we have seen, the effects of tapping connection has more of a direct effect on the person (languages, for example), rather than letting someone steal connection. If we're talking about spiking somones surge bending, that would be hemalurgy, and something anyone could do. The actual thing you would be doing, is taking the nahel bond, though, and could just end up killing the spren, as the spren might break the bond.

@@ThorGJack Well, yes, but you would still need to be a ferring. Step 1: Spike a bondsmith using hemalurgy. Gain bondsmith abilities Step 2: Go to Sel, use stolen bondsmith abilities to steal connection to Arelon. (Why you couldn't just spike the Elantrian instead of the Bondsmith, idk.) Step 3: Store Arelon connection in unkeyed metalminds. ^^ This is where the ferring requirement comes in Step 4: Give unkeyed metalminds to Elsecaller so they have Elantrian abilities now. Granted, this is all so much more complicated than it has to be. Pretty sure you could just have the Elantrian use AonDor to make the Elsecaller an Elantrian because they can do pretty much anything if they're skilled enough. No feruchemy, bondsmithing, or hemalurgy is necessary.

This is always the best part of belief-based magic (which Cognitive effects are, pretty much). In my opinion, the answer is no, for a couple reasons: a) Shardic involvement. The Bondsmith spren represent a huge portion of the Shards' Investiture (even though it's infinite, only some finite amount is around; we know that Investing themself in a planet, for example, has a huge effect on a Shard). Unless both Shards are Splintered or Vessel-less, I think they have enough rein over their Investiture to prevent something like that cropping up. Even the Stormfather, as a spren, has some amount of Cultivation in him, I think. Plus, all the Investiture tied up in the existing Bondsmith spren is going to limit the supply available for the new one. b) Belief isn't that directly powerful towards spren. The lesser spren feed on concepts and emotions and ideas and... whatever creativity is. Whatever. But they aren't created by it. They are part of a Cognitive ecosystem that can directly exploit those things as resources. People knowing they exist isn't necessary for them to exist, and people believing a type of spren exists doesn't... well, I can't say for sure. A lot of this is more gut feeling than solid fact. Even actual Rosharan philosophers would struggle with this question (although Silverlight professors might not). Huh. Normally, I make these small-essay comments on Reddit, not here.

First of all, any person perceiving a planet which doesn’t have a subastral would create a subastral for it, so if the elsecaller manage to get to a planet without a subastral with their spren, they would create its location in the cognitive realm simply by knowing that the planet they’re on exists. So yes, if an elsecaller could get stormlight and they’re spren and a spacesuit on an uninhabited planet, they would still be able to travel to shadesmar from the planet, but not necessarily the other way around. I don’t know why you think you need al the extra Connection steps? Maybe to get the spren over there?

I’ve read Mistborn era 1, warbreaker and I’m reading white sand and the way of kings. I am going to save this video and check to see if I can understand what is being said when I’ve read the entire Cosmere.

Spoilers: no, you won't. The question is designed to be an over-the-top "what if" scenario that combines about 13 different magic systems in a scenario that's implausible in the extreme.

@@Darkkfated yet it is pretty accurate to how those signing Q&As tend to go. I just see them as fanfic and I don't worry about it. If it isn't in the novel it isn't canon, and honestly I think Brandon would approve of that attitude... 😂

This was definitely one of the most entertaining videos I've seen for a while, mostly because of how accurate it is. And now I'm curious to know the answers to the question. Also, I'm pretty sure that WoB would get well known pretty fast, as it would hit nearly all of the buzzwords that people search on the coppermind.

well, the spike will probably interfere with the ferring's ability, making them draw and store connection in a slower, less efficient manner. so it could alsk be that because of the spike the ferring can't draw enough connection at once to get a noticeable result

@RexusprimeIX2 жыл бұрын
I agree with the 3rd character in this skit, how is any of this guy's question important? He does this whole set up, just to ask what Shadesmar would look like on an uninhabitable planet would look like. The first question seems to me that once the Elsecaller is on this planet, even though Shadesmar didn't have a representation before, it would now, since it is being observed by an observer. Before the planet was just an idea, but now the Elsecaller is on the planet, so the planet becomes reality in Shadesmar. The second question is harder for me to answer because I don't know the limits of Bondsmith powers.

Sometimes they do this to try and squeeze specific answers that they want, ie they have a theory on how something works, knows they won't get a direct answer, so instead asks on a specific situation involving said theory and hope to get evidence that way.
@psionicsknight6651 Жыл бұрын
You know, after seeing this, I’m starting to think… Sanderson doesn’t get his ideas from himself-he gets them from people asking him these things. I could honestly see him revealing RAFO cards are actually his way of indirectly telling fans “thank you for the inspiration.”

The funny part is even the Big Brando Sando himself need not even fully comprehend the intricacies of such outlandish questions in order to provide such vague answers that lead fans to speculate on some absurd hypothetical use of the magic systems he's developed. I feel in addition to RAFO cards there needs to be "don't worry about it cards".
