Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Honestly same. I re-read both for this video. It was maybe my second time through Elantris, but easily my 10th+ read of the Emperors Soul.

Thank you! The videos would take SO much longer without the Coppermind and the Shard providing incredible articles with citations. They’re an invaluable research resource. I hope the algorithm picks these up soon too. I do get it though, some of these cosmere topics are almost comically niche! Again, thanks for the kind words. It’s always a joy to see your kind comments on these videos, @TheDiabeticGameMaster .

@@jasonioan haha. Well, I'm just trying to spread the good vibes and encouragement is all I can offer until I, eventually, get my money up. : )

HOW?!? HOW DO I STOP HIM?!?

I'm no Jesse, but... sel out

@@Scp4521 Merciful Domi... **clutches heart and dies**

sel out

@@jessehughes8274 my replacement, I see. Sorry for beating you to the punch.

Wow, thanks!

Yay! Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks, will do!

Glad you enjoyed it!

First of all, welcome! The tentative roadmap is to make videos on the different places and magic systems as well as more entry level accessible content in the future. That said, I really enjoy the deeper stuff and will probably have to make some of those as well.

Glad you liked it! Thank you so much, I’m happy that all the effort I’m putting into these isn’t going unnoticed! :)

Thank you! Im glad you liked it and Im glad it provided some insights for your reread! A shout out on the weekly update would be INSANE!

Thank you so much!

Thanks again!

Thanks! We’ll see how long my stay is. I think Edosha needs me to go to Taldain soon (she got me a research visa).

It would take a lot of prep time and be very situational, but yeah it does seem like that.

Except aluminium cage 😂

Except Ishar hahaha

No, I figure he probably could beat Ishar like you say, the main advantage Ishar has is that he has already had 4,000 years of practice. That time advantage can be huge.

We shall see. I might be too far away from the Dor next time. I'd also like to report that the stamp didn't take for very long.

The perspective that planets aren't monoliths is incredibly valuable. I do think in the future of the cosmere we'll see some planet wide governments so their outside influence may be more monolithic. I think the Ire have been kicking around the cognitive realm for a while, and I see them taking a more "silverlight" and academic role in the future of the cosmere while the ghostbloods recruit individuals. Simply given the size of Sel and the extent to which they think other nations are unimportant that we'll never see a unified Sel in space age cosmere politics.

@@jasonioan Yeah. Some places are different. Places where the overall population is small enough that you feel like it'll consolidate into a single nation before long. Honestly my guess for Scadrial is that the Malwish will simply conquer the Basin. On Roshar, in the past, the Knights were one organization, and they clearly have outsized power compared to the rest of Roshar. I wonder if that will continue to the modern day, and people will be a Radiant first, and a member of their own country second? With Dalinar at the helm, it's hard to imagine him allowing any surgebinder to operate outside of his control.

Thank you! That info is found in the Selish System essay in Arcanum Unbounded as well as an epigraph in The way of Kings.

I just wish more info was available so I could talk about them more

I worry that a tear in the physical realm that big might have unforeseen consequences! That's a cool idea I've never considered before though. I also think the power is splintered, so it can't be picked up again. Thanks for the comment, and I hope you enjoyed the video :)

Soooo I’m outside right now, but yes I do. 😅

Let’s go! Thanks! 💪

I hadn’t even thought of that! A Dhakor powered Kandra would be crazy!

I could see three possibilities. Either that would break all the magics because the source of power they were developed around would move, the magics that existed pre-splintering would be restored, or the existing magics would continue to function but they’d draw power from the spiritual realm like allomancy and function anywhere. So yes, the logic does track

I think it should be, for once a Twin Born of the same metal can compound. Storing an attribute in a metal using ferugemy, then accessing it 10 folt using Allomancy. Hemalurgy is the magic system to steel "in essence" other magic systems. So using that, I think other Compounding can be achieved. Just look at some things Hoid can do (spoiler alert for stormlight mistborn and Tress) he is a full mistborn, lightwever, has breaths of at least the third heightening. Also after Tress he has accees to the Dor and able to draw Aons. I think in the futere we will see many things done (by at least Hoid) that seem to be oudside any one Investerture type

How the Sorceress uses AonDor on Lumar isn’t ever fully explained explicitly in the text. However, I do have some ideas for how it works. Aons are a sort of coding language, that language can shape and “program” how the Dor is used. In the Lost Metal, we see a map of the Basin being drawn with specific intent before Aons are able to be used. The map appears to serve as an adapter of sorts. In Tress of the Emerald Sea chapter 60 (page 332 of the mass market release), the Sorceress has a map of the planet Lumar inscribed in metal on her floor. I would assume that the map seen there serves a similar purpose to what we saw in the lost metal. A function similar to the city of elantris itself. What’s not super clear to me is what investiture source she and Hoid are pulling from. It could be an artificial investiture field, it could be that they’re both using breaths (the sorceress is an awakener, but that doesn’t necessarily confirm she has Breaths anymore.)

That is a cool question btw

If they had enough time and were familiar enough with all these mechanics, I can totally see that being possible. Come to think of it, elantrians would be pretty knowledgeable of Spiritual damage so they might have a good shot at knowing how to restore a deadeye.

@jasonioan Restored Seons could even provide a useful frame of reference as they are essentially, Devotion Spren who were for all intents and purposes, deadeye. 😁

My bad. Forgot to mark that one. That said, I don't think she goes by "Shai" in the lost metal so it's still a bit ambiguous. But yeah, probably should've marked that one

I got spoiled :( Mistborn Era 2 are basically the only ones I haven't read.

That's what the Sanderman said. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

​​​@@jasonioanYeah, I'm commenting on what the Brando Sando said. First he said "not plasma", but then he said "super dense, to the point that it's liquefied... so it's plasma, basically" and "it's kind of plasma-like". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nooo

@@jasonioanI tried to warn you 😭😭😭
