Frustration he/him Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 On 10/2/2023 at 1:47 AM, therunner said: @NewGuy 16 Originally probably 1000 Breaths. However, 1000 Breaths is simply minimum to be used to Awaken metal, so Scholars could have used more than that. Additionally, Endowment was somehow involved in creation of Nigthblood, and she could have added basically any amount of Investiture. So we simply don't know how much Investiture Nightblood held at the start. We do know that he does consume Investiture into himself as well, as in now more Invested than when he was created. To the point where he is more Invested than Unmade by the time of RoW. I'd note that he was awakened with 1,000 breath(and maybe a Dawnshard if that theory is true). It takes Ninth heightening, or 20,000 breaths(hey that's skip capacity) in order to awaken steel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elegy he/him Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I wonder if there's also something like SEU (sphere equivalent units) that add up to BEUs like cents and dollars. The equivalent of human soul seems a bit much when talking about how much you need for steelpushing etc., and "0,001 BEU" seems inconvinient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but spheres are not standardized (with regards to investiture storage), so at a minimum you would need Chip, Mark and Broam (assuming the different gems do not change capacity | e. g. does a diamond chip and an emerald chip store the same amount of stormlight when fully recharged), maybe making them the equivalent of Nickels, Dimes and Quarters. SbEU? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SbEU? The amount of investiture in a human soul also changes from planet to planet. But I think that your average human does not contain that much investiture. Maybe like 5 broams to a BEU? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstar The Bright Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Quote Questioner How many Breaths would it take to infuse a gemstone? Brandon Sanderson Gemstones would be not that hard to infuse with Breaths. Like, you can get one glowing pretty well with one Breath... Depends on the size of the gemstone, obviously.
