In the flashback [of Words of Radiance] with Shallan meeting Hoid, Hoid pours something from a pouch into his cup and drinks it. Are these Allomantic metal shavings?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
His answer was that there was something indeed significant about what Hoid placed in the cup, but that it was not necessarily Allomantic shavings. He wouldn't tell me what it specifically was and gave me a R.A.F.O. card.

Can aluminum be used to destroy a Feruchemist's metalmind if the person burning aluminum were to cut his hand and place it on the metalmind?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
He said that cutting the hand would probably not be enough, but that I was on the right track.

At the Yomen wedding [in The Alloy of Law], the newlyweds are talking to "a scruffy man who looked like a beggar, dressed all in black". Is this an appearance of Hoid?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
His answer was that yes, in fact, it was.

What about the three individuals we know to have traveled to and from Sel? Did they use the Shadesmar [the Cognitive Realm] anyway, or have they accessed an alternate method of worldhopping?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
I'm going to have to answer that with a yes as well.

So each anti-investiture is like its world's investiture, but can't be effected by it. So aluminum can't be affected and destroys Allomancy, ralkalest can't be Soulstamped, Shardblades are blunted by that one thing. Is the black filled sphere that Galivar gives to Szeth the anti-investiture to Stormlight?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
When I asked this, he became much more tight-lipped and said that was an interesting theory and that I would learn more in book three.

When Kelsier is teaching Vin about the basic eight Allomantic Metals, he talks about not flaring metals, especially tin and pewter, as it does strange things to people. Does this imply that there were other savants before Spook?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
His answer was that there were other savants before Spook.

You've mentioned several times that traveling to Shadesmar [the Cognitive Realm] on Sel is incredibly dangerous. Would reassembling Devotion and Dominion solve this problem?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, I suppose that could work, yes.
