‘Do Not Open’ is still one of my favorite episodes because of this absolute legend. He’s at the top of my list of badass people who survived encounters because they just ain’t with that shit.
An icon.
Using a duralumin spike (identity), could you hemalurgically steal someone’s gender?
You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

Awakeners could definitely nerf with radiants if they knew the right tone, but allomancers could negate this with copper. Here me out:
Bronze allomancers describe sensing burned metals as rhythmic pulses; Vin also describes the well of ascension — preservation’s perpendicularity — the same way.
Similarly, the pure tones of Roshar are derived from the investiture of its shards; stormlight, lifelight, and voidlight all carry a unique cadence and pitch. Listeners also describe rhythms pertaining to different emotional states (rhythm of irritation, joy, amusement, etc).
These two sound systems are intentionally similar; therefore, we can reasonably conclude that investiture has an intrinsic rhythm and tone based on its source and intent (at least for the shards of preservation, ruin, honor, cultivation, and odium).
This has incredible implications for the interplay between their magic systems.
Parshendi/listeners could hear allomantic pulses.
Seekers could hear Rosharan rhythms, a fact confirmed by Sanderson in 2016 (source).
Smokers could prevent — or at least resist — someone singing an anti-tone. If copperclouds dampen allomantic rhythms, they should dampen all invested rhythms.
Rioters could summon emotion spren around others at will.
Leechers could drain radiants of investiture.
Nicros could boost a single lashing or awakening well past the normal limits.
Hemalurgy could steal breaths.
Duralumin feruchemy could steal spren bonds like a bondsmith (connection is OP).
Nicrosilminds would be absolutely broken (simply a better gemheart)
There’s so many implications for magic crossover and I can’t wait to see it.
Bold fucking claim for me to make given atium and the Surge of Division letting people SPLIT THE DAMN ATOM but hear me out.
At Second Heightening (200 Breaths) an Awakener gains perfect pitch. If an Awakener hummed an Anti-Tone (Anti-Stormlight/Anti-Voidlight), would they be able to just neuter a Radiant. And I wonder if an Anti-Tone could exist for other magic systems, given that Bronze lets someone burning it hear the Rhythms of other metals. Just need a scholar or something to figure out the Anti-Tone of Preservation and you can also completely fuck over a Mistborn/any Allomancer. Thank you for coming to this insane ramble because I enjoy far overthinking Brandon Sanderson's magic systems and mix matching different planets systems to create hypothetically the strongest possible mix.
I need to be allowed to pester Brandon with questions but I would get plenty RAFO cards.
Anyone know if Scadrian seas experience tides? Kind of difficult for life to thrive without a moon to facilitate ocean currents/energy transfer/etc.
Then again, the seas were boiling for a millennium, then refurbished upon harmony’s ascension, so who knows what the rules are.
I find it so funny that for a planet with no moon, two of the main characters are named Wax and Wayne. 🤣
