Brandon Sanderson / Re: The "Snapping" Thread
« on: May 03, 2008, 08:20:44 AM »
I know that it is popular belief that the bead gave Elend the power of Allomancy. But, What if the mist were not the deepness? What if the mist spirit itself was the one who granted Elend the power, And the bead that Elend swallowed was simply just pewter, being that was what he needed to survive. How many times does it say that A mistborns place is in the mist, What if Vin was wrong about the mist being the deepness? It does give a general reason of what mist could do, to destroy the land. But what if mist was the very thing that brought about an allomancer? What if the mist spirit itself was the very enemy of the ruin, The one Who chose, and granted  allomancy. I know this theory has many flaws being that there are evil allomancers, But in truth. Does not every person have the ability to choose what course there lives take, whether good or evil? Maybe the mist spirit is The representation of good and Ruin the Representation of Evil. Each one granting power to those It finds capable, Each one having its own power to give out. I know this does not have much to do with snapping,  But it could be that What we thought was snapping from trauma and gaining the powers of allomancey, could in fact be the mist spirit giving power to those it knew would eventually rise up. And the Ruin giving power to those it knew it could use like the inquisitors.

Somewhat random, But in reading your books I noticed that any alcohol consumed in your book is pretty much wine, I was wondering if you were a fan of wine yourself. And if so, Do you have a proffered brand?

So I have not read the wheel of time series. Is it good? Right now I am finishing up the Drizzt series while waiting on mb3, but the WOT series seems like it may be interesting, I may have to give it a shot.

In regards to what Sarah said about female villains, One only has to look at the Drow society in the forgotten realms books to understand that even female's can be just as brutal as men, in that series even more so.
But I do agree with Darxbane over the Lord Ruler Seeing men as the superior sex. One thing that I Enjoy about Mr. Sanderson's books so much, is how much Class struggle plays apart in his stories. So along with class struggle, one would assume Gender would be involved as well.
As far as the Inq's go though, I think He really did a good job at keeping us guessing as to what he is going to do next, seeing all of the ideas on this post really shows how much we all love the books and how imaginative a reader base Mr. Sanderson has. That alone would make me as an author really give is a fireball to talk about.

Then again we must also remember that in truth, the Lord Ruler did not actually defeat or should I say kill the deepness or the ruin. From what I gather, He really just held it at bay, Imprisoned it you could say. So we really have no idea what power it could wield, Yes the primary power in the Final Empire is Allomancy, But that power is wielded by humans. What they are facing now is something completely different.  It is said in the book many time's that the Lord Ruler was a divine creature, But when Vin finally killed him, we learned that he was just a man fueled by the same power and as Vin and Sazed. What I am saying is that possibly the power the ruin wields is not allomancy, something else yet. From a story stand point, Vin has fought pretty much every power the world can throw at her, So where does she stand. Another book having her fight yet another allomantic power is not what I would write as an author. She is now facing the most powerful enemy in the land, one that even the Lord Ruler didn't truly kill, So it is very hard to say whether or not the ruin uses allomancy or not, I would assume that it does in some way, but to affect those that it can enslave. I believe it's true power is going to be something else, But I would assume it uses allomancy in some way or another, and I still believe that the Inquisitors are going to be its primary henchmen.

    The inquisitors could possibly be dead in the first place, having there entire body fueled by allomancy.  Being that allomancy and fueromancy have the right properties to give health, power, senses, memory etc. what I figured when reading mistborn 2, when marsh finally turned on sazed, was that they were a controlled abomination of the Lord Rulers creation, Something the power of the well changed over time. A corpse I guess you could say controlled by the power of the well, and the spikes, were his way of controlling them.could it be that they are hard to come by because it is a corpse possed by the deepness or the power of the well? could the deepness or the power actually have had soldiers, not just mist? And once the lord ruler bound the power he enslaved those, which became the inquisitors?  It is believed in the books that the Lord Ruler created them, the Kandra and the Koloss, But it also says that the hero of ages would set the power free from the well and change that world. A lie that had been changed through lore, memory and writings not on steel by the power of the well.They were also one of the only religions that remained, other than that of the obligators.  I'm not trying to make the inquisitors sound like dawn of the dead, or that I am even close to right on this, it was just one of the possibility's I figured up after finishing the book.  It  does however have Vin finding a way to control the lord rulers creation's, the kandra and the koloss, but not the inquisitors, I figure in book 3 they will be the soldiers of whatever power was released from the well, but it looks like only Brandon and the possibly the mist spirit actually have any idea of whats going on with it, cause i know this theory has flaws. But i did imagine them looking something like this with spikes in there eyes
