Wyi, I believe Yumi has some spoilers for RoW (I am unsure how much is said, but they have the potential to be very big)

@thearcaneaxiom

I probably won’t get to Tress or Yumi at least until I read Elantris. Sanderson considers Elantris, Mistborn, and Stormlight the pillars of the Cosmere, so I want to get to all those. (Frugal isn’t high on my list, because it’s non-Cosmere and I would rather read those.) I believe there are also two other short Cosmere novel…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I’ll probably want to read them eventually.

@thearcaneaxiom

It’s not mature as in dark or violent. It’s probably the least dark and violent out of Mistborn, SA, and WB. It’s mature in other ways.

@thearcaneaxiom

I would recommend reading it before RoW. (I didn’t, but I already knew about the crossover content.) an important item in SA has its origin in WB

@thearcaneaxiom

It’s not on Roshar. There’s a world hopper you met in Stormlight whose backstory is in WB. Two actually.

@thearcaneaxiom

Warbreaker takes place on Nalthis, but Stormlight has a few crossover characters from it.

@thearcaneaxiom

Thanks! That helps to clarify things! I didn’t realize Mormons and Latter Day Saints were the same. But that makes more sense now!

@thearcaneaxiom

Thanks for your patience with me! I hope this is a good kickoff to get started. Oh, and excuse my potty mouth😂

Haha! I love this because I can have my characters “swear” in the book without saying actual swear words. I can avoid people thinking the words in their head, and because the made up words have no meaning in reality, I…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom I’ve also heard the egg explanation, too, but to me the liquid/solid/gas makes more sense.

Also, I’m just curious why Latter-Day Saints go door-to-door to talk to people. I’ve heard that it’s required? What is it required for?

Then again, I could be wrong, or maybe I’m thinking of Mormons. Honestly, I get the two mixed up a lot…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and we believe that Heavenly Father, the Holy Ghost, and Jesus Christ are three distinct beings, though they are indeed one in purpose. (Please don’t burn me at the stake😅)

I’m not inclined to burn people at the stake, and since I can’t burn anyone through my…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yes, that’s pretty close what I’m getting at, in a nutshell.

I’ve also heard the trinity explained this way: we know that water is a liquid, but changes forms to be either ice or steam when frozen or heated. It’s the same thing, but in three different forms. That’s how I see the trinity- three different manifestations of God. He…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Ok, I think I see your question better now. That is a tough one to answer; my best attempt at an explanation might not be a satisfactory answer, but at least it’s how I think about it.

So the Father sent Jesus to the earth; Jesus was the representation of the Father. He did nothing unless He first saw the Father doing it; after…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

That is a very interesting concept.

In regards to Krenna, one thing that makes a big difference from Shallan or Legion is that these fragments of her consciousness are completely real and can interact with other people. The only thing about them that is illusory is that they aren’t actually different people, even though the do…[Read more]

@loopylin @hybridlore @grcr

Thanks!

@thearcaneaxiom

I am aware of Legion, but I haven’t read it. I would say that the main thing that differentiates Krenna is that unlike either of those characters, these other personalities are somewhat real, and not figments of imagination resulting from a mental illness.

@thearcaneaxiom

I’m not well versed in apologetics (I’ve done some study on it a long time ago, but nothing very recent), but I’m going to at least try to explain a little bit of my perspective in answer to your question. I know there are different opinions out there, and I’m not here to start an argument, but I don’t mind having healthy…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Wait…you don’t believe in the trinity?

@thearcaneaxiom
I reworked Essenceburning a bit.  Basically, I created three separate powers for each element that I hope will add some variety.
For each element, one power lets the user control the element to a limited extent, one lets the user influence a physical property of the element, and the last gives the user a physical buff.

Fire:
