If a Parshendi takes a parshman by the hand, gives them a gemstone with a spren in it, leads him out into a highstorm, can the parshman become a Parshendi in the same way that they become a voidbringer?
Now, yes, before no. The everstorm changed them, there’s something going on. In fact, as that scene continues, with Gavilar and Eshonai, there is a clue in that scene. But I didn’t get to that part.
When Nightblood killed the Fused, are those Fused souls retrievable?
RAFO.
I got a question about this and last week's epigraph.
The metals Fused use. How come nobody knows, guesses or even suspects that aluminium and its alloys are Investiture resistant? They know you can Soulcast something into aluminium, so they should also know it's impossible to Soulcast aluminium into something else.
And once they know about metal that cannot be Soulcast, they start experimenting with fabrials - they used that in construction of Fourth Bridge - and then the logical step is to test it against Shardblades.Probably experimenting with alloys of aluminium, too.
Yet the metal Fused use to make weapons resistant to Shardweapons is a mystery to them?
I feel like I'm missing something here.
They're getting to answers here. Problem is, metallurgy just isn't a big science on Roshar. I feel it's one of those things that is more easy to see externally than internally--and do remember that there are things like god metals (Shardblades, for example) that also behave strangely around investiture. They have far more experience with those than aluminum, which is more of a little historical oddity to them than a big revolutionary part of science. Add to that the fact that some of the metals the fused are using aren't aluminum, and...well, I don't think it's as obvious a leap as you're making it out to be.
So the Fused's fabrials are not 100% aluminum based? Or they are and they are struggling to reach that conclusion?
I think what you're asking will be answered in the book, so I'll RAFO for now.
When the Fused die, do they return directly to the Everstorm, or back to Braize, and then they need to make their way back?
RAFO.
Do the Fused still require a bond with a spren for maintaining a form/full sapience, or does the Investiture that makes them Cognitive Shadows fulfill that requirement?
They do not require a bond with a spren, so yes, the Investiture handles all of that.
Which Surge is missing from the Fused repertoire?
RAFO.
What would happen to the listeners if Odium were to be Splintered?
Odium being Splintered would not terribly affect the listeners. Now, various other members of that faction like the singers and the Fused might see effects. The listeners could deal with that very easily. Wouldn't even affect them.
Is the reason that the Fused have access to unlimited voidlight is because Odium's alive, and the Radiants have that access that limited access to Stormlight because Honor is dead?
Not exactly... They do not have access to unlimited voidlight, how about that.
I wanted to ask about the Returned and the Fused. I haven't gotten all the way through [Oathbringer]... With the Spiritual Realm, is it very similar for how they don't return, versus the Returned coming back and the Fused staying?
Yeah, there is a similarity there, for sure.
Is it related at all... So, a thunderclast. Is it similar to Awakening?
Kinda, but a little further out. You'll figure out-- that one's explained pretty well in [Oathrbinger].
Why do Fused accelerate slower than the Surgebinders?
Fused accelerate [slower than] Surgebinder's because they're expending less energy.
It doesn't have to do with the Braize gravity?
No, it does not have to do with Braize's gravity, that's a good question. That's actually a really clever way to ask.
Yeah, cause I thought the planet was smaller so.
Clever, very clever but no, it is not to do with that. You'll find other explanations but they can expend less energy, they can afford to spend less energy. They can only afford to expend a little bit of energy so that's the way to say it.
The similarity between the shades and the Fused can be due to the Investiture of Odium instead of that of Ambition?
RAFO.
Does Zahel know what Fused are because of his BioChromatic vision? Or has he studied them in some other way?
I would say both. More the "he's studied what they are and learned about them." He has certain sensory things that definitely give him some advantages, for various reasons. But I would say he's leaning more on his previous experience than he is on those senses.
The Fused that wield, like--their Lashings can be a lot faster than Kaladin's are. Is it because it's based on a different planet than the Radiants?
Kaladin can go faster, but they are more-- they are faster over a large span. What's going on with the Fused is they have-- The way their Investiture works, it doesn't leak and they are able to use it for much longer periods of time. But they don't have access to the number of times that Kaladin can Lash himself directions and things like this, and the speed with which he can pick up speed. So in the short Kaladin is favored, in the long they're favored.
