I have also read it online and plan on buying the hardback, but one thing to keep in mind with this poll is that the people who are here are the dedicated fans.....
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

On the other hand, there is a large possibility that Marsh will be in the next series, using atium storage to become like the lord ruler (live for a long, long time..)
On another side note, I wonder if in a thousand years if the Well will fill up again?

I don't think that it will go back to the Pits. After all, Brandon has said (somewhere on here) that Sazed would probably not make more Atium.

« on: December 18, 2008, 05:34:35 AM »Awww I can't change my vote. I want to vote for Talents!
Me too!
My Talent would be remembering random facts of information! Oh wait, I already have that talent......
But the Atium-Grandpa Smedry fight seems cool.The Atium would see a future Grandpa.... and Grandpa would take FOREVER getting to that future. He might even be able to put on a lense on the way....

This got mentioned in the Hoid forum, but it applies here, so whatever.
What if Hoid is a Shard?
We have met him, and have sort of seen his influence (his planet jumping)

I don't know this for sure, but I think that Vin would've used the power of mind reading if she had it.
But that's just my guess.
I have a question though- how did Preservation see into the future?

Now we have something to go on
Since Hoid is one person, that probably means that either he has a lot of power, a awesome vehicle, or some kind of link to the Shards

Except wouldn't Elantris mention 1,000 years of Ash and Mists?
Plus the fact that Brandon Sanderson said that the only two shards on Scadrial are Ruin and Preservation.
If Elantris and Mistborn were on the same world, where would the power of the Dor come from?

Here's another one that's kinda similar....
If you draw the Incarnate Wheel that Alcatraz mentions, then you turn to the back of HOA, you see two diagrams that are amazingly similar, with the biggest difference is the change from Enhancement to Space.

Quick question-
What is the planet/land name for Warbreaker?
I know that Elantris is Opelon, and Mistborn is Scadrial.
But what is the name for Warbreaker?

Cerrobend (Slider) slightly 'pushes' time in a bubble around the Allomancer, compressing it, and making it pass more quickly.

Alcatraz and the Scrivener's bones pg 225
For those that haven't read Alcatraz, what probably really happened is that the dead guy in the bubble of time broke time, so his body stays preserved.... even after over 2000 years. The text mentions that the Egyptians tried to copy him by using mummies.
Stupid mummies

I think that maybe a Duralumin/Nicrosil enhanced Slider (time-slower downer) might be able to do that....

Raphael-
I think that time would go faster. It might be like steel, where when you flare, you can't see more lines, you can just push on it harder.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: **SPOILERS! The Shards of Adonalsium
« on: December 12, 2008, 12:49:25 AM »Is the Dor the only confirmed supernatural power in the world?
What power made the monks in to 'demons'?
Occam's razor would suggest that the Dor is the logical place to start. All of the known supernatural enhancements (Dahkor monks, Elantrians, Shuden's exercise) cause the one wielding the power to glow, the Elantrian's permanently, the monks and Shuden when they are using their power. This seems to be a property of the Dor, especially from Raoden's experience. How the monks change themselves to be able to access it is a fair question, but it seems to me, at least, that the Dor somehow being receptive to the chants being used is as good an explanation as any. It could just naturally be one way how humans in Opelon access power.
I thought that the Dor might cause the Dahkor monks and Clayshin, but then I realized that the Opelon magic is like the Scadrial magic.
You have Allomancy and Aons, that both get energy out of nowhere, you have Clayshin and Ferchemancy which draw energy from the user, and Hemalurgy and the Dahkor monks draw their energy out of someone else.
Allomancy comes from Leras/Preservation
Aons come from Dor/Domi?/Pool God?
Ferchemy is natural
ClayShin is natural?
Hemalurgy comes from Ati/Ruin
"Bone bending" comes from Jaddeth?
I think that the shining thing on Opelon is like how all the magic on Scadrial involved Metal.
