When Veil went to Mraize's lair, she saw a vial of white sand. Was there a reason that it didn't turn black?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes
WinespringBrother
Can you tell me that reason?
Brandon Sanderson
So, sand will turn white in the presence of certain kinetic usage of Investiture.
WinespringBrother
Okay, so that was what Veil was doing?
Brandon Sanderson
Depends on how loud the Investiture is, that sand-- that sand just absorbed some of the Stormlight. I'll just be be clear with you, yeah... It was not the stuff that Veil was doing.
Questioner
Are you gonna do more [White Sand Graphic Novels]
Brandon Sanderson
We're gonna do a full omnibus, and then we're talking about what to do with Darkside, 'cause there's a story there that I want to tell. I might involve Isaac in it; he's my art director who art directed this entire thing. There should be another story in the world. We're not sure if it'll be graphic or if it'll be print.
Questioner
I have a copy of Darkside, I just didn't bring it.
Brandon Sanderson
No, not Dark One. Darkside of White Sand, the other half of the planet. Dark One is a different thing. Khriss is from Darkside in this world, and she's really relevant to the Cosmere as a whole. She shows in up several of the other books. She shows up in Bands of Mourning, Khriss from this, and she's also in Secret History, and she shows up here and there. She's really relevant to the Cosmere, particularly some future stuff. And so we want to tell more of her story also.
Questioner
In Rhythm of War, when they're talking about like the sand from another planet, is that from here?
Brandon Sanderson
That is this, yes. So, white sand will charge, basically, off of any active Investiture, kinetic Investiture, and so you can use it to tell if something is using one of the magics nearby. And so it's become... you can just take it offworld and then use it kind of like a Geiger counter. So it's made its way all over the place. It shows up actually in Oathbringer as well.
