Cloaked Mystery

@thearcaneaxiom

I’m just wondering who held the other Dawnshard you were talking about.

Oh, that. Hoid used to have a Dawnshard. I don’t remember where that is stated, though. That’s why he can’t hurt people. His dawnshard is characterized as being “diametrically opposed to harm.” That really sounds like the Survive dawnshard to me.

Okay so pg 333 in my copy of Arcanum Unbounded. Part 6 Chapter 4 of SH.

@thearcaneaxiom

Oh wait, you mean the orb that Kelsier used to take the shard of Preservation? I think that was some sort of invention by those people he stole it from. I don’t think it has anything to do with a Dawnshard. The only thing I referenced from SH was the line where Leras says “SURVIVE” in all caps. Let me find where that is.

@thearcaneaxiom

Wait, what orb?

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, Invested Art is basically the in-universe term for magic system. I haven’t read LM either. I think Harmony was talking about having a difficult time acting due to the conflicting intents in the other WaW books.

@rae

How is Fennin going to not die if it blows up?

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah it seems that the dawnshards are nearly, or possibly completely, useless on their own. It also seems to be implied that they could be used to supercharge invested arts somehow.

We know that they were used to shatter Adonalsium in the first place, but since they seem to do nothing without investiture, they must have also used…[Read more]

Just looking at Fusion, destruction, amplification, and dynamism, I feel like there’s much potential interaction. I think there’s a whole lot of interesting you could do mechanically. Using destruction to precisely carve any kind of shape out of any kind of substance is nice, and that in tandem with pure fusion, connecting obj…

That does make sense! Alright, jungle dragon, bring it on!

Greetings! I’m Jonas. I write fantasy. I am something of a gamer myself, but I’ve never really played Halo. I’m also an amateur video game designer, but I haven’t done any of that in a while.

I’m not good at asking questions as is tradition, so I’m gonna leave that to others. 🙂

@rae

So what happens now? Dennin has the stone, but the jungle dragon is still alive.

Ellis

Ellis scrambled to his feet and grabbed the green stone off of the ground as Nahim tried to restrain Zash.

Ellus hesitated, not wanting to leave Nahim to fight alone, but then turned and ran. He had to get the stone to Fennin.

Zash

Zash managed to get some of his knives under the armored warrior pinning him down. With a heave, the…[Read more]

Hello! I’m Jonas. Nice to meet you!

I write fantasy, especially creating magic systems, and I am working on a shared fantasy universe with my sister, @highscribeofaetherium.

I’m bad at asking questions, so I’ll leave it to others 🙂

Ellis

As Ellis was running forward, the stone came flying towards him, knocked away by Kate.

He lunged for it as it flew by. His fingers grazed it, interrupting its flight, but failed to catch it. Ellis hit the ground and rolled towards where it landed.

Just then, something crashed into him. It was Zash again. How could he recover from a st…[Read more]

This is my full dawnshards theory, if you’re interested. So, between Dawnshard (the book), Oathbringer, and Mistborn Secret History, I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out what three of the dawnshards are: Change, Unite, and Survive. (And I’ll note that other people came up with this before me, but there is a surpr…[Read more]
