Undead Wookiee
got myself a blessing from Hrathen
Brandon Sanderson
May you be blessed to Always do what you do with meaning, intent, + devotion - Hrathen.
Pagerunner
When you tap the nicrosil portion of a medallion, will it run out over time? Or is it like a coppermind, where something discrete is taken, used, and returned?
Brandon Sanderson
Good question! Like a coppermind.
Pagerunner
Khriss says there was Investiture on Threnody prior to Odium and Ambition's battle. Was that Investiture of Ambition?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
Pagerunner
Are the Aethers from one of the Shards that we know? Or are they of a Shard we haven't learned about?
Brandon Sanderson
Right now they are pre-Shattering.
But I will probably change that.
Pagerunner
Can you hint at a form of Selish magic we haven't seen yet?
Brandon Sanderson
It is about patterns...
Dwarven_Hydra
I asked what would happen if you burned lerasium or atium near ettmetal.
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO! :)
Stark
Atium was not a basic metal. Does the Era 2 table of 16 have a similar mistake?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
The Sovereign
Is the chain in Celebrant made of Dragonsteel?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
NewbSombrero
Can Feruchemical tin store Allomantically granted senses like bronze sense?
Brandon Sanderson
Possible.
The Sovereign
Are the Sho Del hordlings and/or a hivemind?
Brandon Sanderson
The Sho Del are NOT a hivemind.
Oberyn
Who was the last person Cultivation spoke to before Dalinar? Is he/she important?
Brandon Sanderson
If you mean the last person she gave a boon/curse to instead of letting the Nightwatcher, RAFO. (But otherwise, she talks to lots of people.)
RiyriaMistborn
Has Hoid ever had a love interest?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes! Several!
tyler274
Was the planet destroyed by the Surgebinders Ashyn/some other Rosharan planet?
Brandon Sanderson
It was Ashyn.
NotBurtReynolds
Can Stormlight give enough extra strength that a humanoid could use a Shardbow w/out Plate?
Brandon Sanderson
Not normally.
DCD328
[Personalization Request] To Hoid, with a message that hints at his quest.
Brandon Sanderson
To make that which once was.
Comatose
What would a fully trained Seeker sense from Nightblood when it is influencing emotions?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
Kiiyashi
You've said that Rashek was slightly cosmere aware. Was he aware of the interplanetary trade through the Pits of Hathsin?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes.
The_Carpathian
Can aluminum be used to take liquid from a Shardpool, and will it stay Invested?
Brandon Sanderson
That would work.
mender
Was Scadrial visited by any other Shard before the events of Mistborn? If so, which one?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. Several.
Farnsworth
Why did Ruin and Preservation decide to break the agreement and both go to Scadrial?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
Aerlion
Is it possible to create a Hemalurgic spike with several stolen attributes?
Brandon Sanderson
Not as far as anyone knows right now
Aerlion
Is it possible to use Hemalurgic spikes to steal multiple attributes from the same person?
Brandon Sanderson
No. At least, this isn't thought to be possible
Hoiditthroughthegrapevine
Are the Dysian Aimians agents of Cultivation? If not, are they in league with another group (excluding the Knights Radiant) that we have seen?
Brandon Sanderson (written)
Kind of yes to both – kind of
Hoiditthroughthegrapevine
If a person held enough breath to attain the 5th heightening, lived for a thousand years, and then sold all but their initial breath, would their spiritual age force them to rapidly age as we saw with Rashek, or would they resume natural aging from the point at which they ceased?
Brandon Sanderson (written)
I think they would rapidly age.
But I'm not ready to say 100%.
Hoiditthroughthegrapevine
If we spiked a singer with Feruchemical nicrosil, could he store the spren he's bonded to and lose form in the process? Could he bond another spren then? Could he then change forms at will by carefully storing and tapping nicrosil?
Brandon Sanderson (written)
RAFO :)
Iridium Savant
Is there only one perpendicularity on a planet per Shard Invested there, or can say Scadrial have more than two (natural) at a time? (Old School Scadrial when there were two separate shards)
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO
Iridium Savant
Does the highstorm/no highstorm rotation of the Weeping have to do with Ashyn's relative location to Roshar?
Brandon Sanderson
No! But great question!

ElephantEarwax
If Dalinar summoned his perpendicularity during a highstorm, while the perpendicularity was open, would the areas that the highstorm was over not have spheres become Invested/full of Stormlight?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
LerasiumMistborn
Dalinar has a task to "Unite them". Is it's ultimate purpose applies only to Roshar or it could go beyond Roshar, to the greater cosmere?
Brandon Sanderson
This could be interpreted that way.

Zorro
Was the Astalsi religion somehow edited so that Sazed remembered it as [the] Dadradah religion?
Brandon Sanderson
These two religions are branches of a more ancient religion.
Nothing was edited in this case.
AviH (paraphrased)
Was Taldain one of the planets of the Iriali Long Trail? Was Scadrial?
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
RAFO
MiToRo94
Since all matter and energy are Investiture in different forms, and the magic of Investiture depends on the Shard it is most closely connected to, could it be theoretically possible for Lift to burn food on Scadrial to have the powers of a Mistborn?
Brandon Sanderson
This wouldn't happen naturally - she would still get Surgebinding powers, even on Scadrial.
