MountainKing Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 What happens when a spren burn a lerasium bead? (Let's just assume spren can burn Lerasium beads) When someone burns lerasium their spiritweb is rewritten so that they are connected to Preservation and make them an allomancer. So if a sentient spren were to become an allomancer can they burn themselves when they take their metal form? What about when they form a nahel bond. The nahel bond is when a spren forces their spiritweb into the identy of another sentient being. So now that their spiritwebs are fused can the radiant perform allomancy. Can the radiant burn his shardbalde even if it has a different identity(the radiant's spren) since the spren's spiritweb is fused to the radiant's?

Scion of the Mists Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Do splinters have spiritwebs? I tried searching the Arcanum, but came up empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyrann Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'm having a hard time theorizing about something if I think the base assumption (spren can burn lerasium) is incorrect... I'm like "yeah so what would happen, yeah actually, a spren has no physical form capable of ingesting the metal, so nothing at all". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark he/him Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 But they can manipulate Stormlight - it is the primary currency in the Rosharan expanse of Shadesmar, and we see a spren accept Rock's offer of of Stormlight. So they can access Investiture. And they have limited manipulation of the PR. So normal rules may not apply for invested metal, especially metal that invested. But they would make terrible mistborn. Iron and steel are useless to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnshard Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Also Lerasium is pure Investiture(the godmetal of Preservation). They may be able to do some form of manipulation with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have seen that a red aura appears when one shard co-opts another shards systems. Would manipulating Lerasium or Atium run the risk of corrupting a spren and shifting them red?

Iron and steel are useless to them. If radiant spren can take the form of metallic objects with weight it stands to reason that they would be better than regular allomancers when using iron and steel since they could simply switch form to improve the strength of their pushes and pulls.

Stark he/him Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Except that everyone talks about how ludicrously light they are. They are essentially Mithril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Compared to regular longswords. Kaladin remarks that they are still heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark he/him Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 A six foot long Mithril sword would still be heavyish. But a regular longsword is at most 1.5KG. So if it is still heavy, but light compared to 1.5kg, its not going to push much... And both would be heavy compared to a wooden spear with a metal head.

LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I'm not saying we make a Sylblade. What about a Sylbankvault? Edited March 6, 2018 by LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
