It wasn't a full Ascension, but a mortal did give up the power once. It proved to be the wrong choice, but it was the most selfless thing I believe I've ever witnessed. So yes Dalinar, it's possible. But not easy.

Now is time for my girl Lift, whom I can relate a lot with because I also I'm hungry all the time 🤣

Shoutout to her spren compannion Wyndle, having no patience with her

Can't wait for next books to know more about Lift. She still has a lot of secrets to unveil

Maya released a terrifying screech, her jaw lowering farther than it should. "You. Cannot. Have. My. SACRIFICE!".

One of the most powerful scenes in Rhythm of War: Maya shouting her truth during Adolin's trial.

I have no explanation for why this reminds me of Roshar (and maybe Shinovar), but it just does.

Bricks are just domesticated rocks

Not much from this account recently (if anyone sees this lol)

But the excitement/anticipation for Wind and Truth has hit hard these past few days.

I am ridiculously excited

Thinking about magical eugenics with some friends

We buddy read a book where the magic system was hereditary and we had a discussion on how slippery that slope is to eugenics and magical racism

It made me realize that the Cosmere doesn’t have many inherited/bloodline magic systems. We have Scadrial and Taldain as the only two planets that come to mind. Every other form of Investiture requires some type of connection to a Shard or planet, but the ability to connect isn’t related to race or nationality

Powering up in those magic systems also don’t require specific pedigrees to be more powerful

Since Mistborn and White Sand were among Sanderson’s early works, I’m not sure if this was a completely intentional move on his part

I can't really explain what I would give to hear Kvothe play. Especially (!) when he won his pipes.

"A collective breath"

"Shared (raw) pain"

"Lightening before thunder"

Music just seeped from the page.

look i know the szeth prologue carries a lot of introductory information as to the magic system and how it can be used (and if there is one thing the cosmere in general excels at it is using the rules of a hard magic system in interesting ways for fight scenes) but it is so crazy that his internal monologue is so full of grief for what he is about to do and his first spoken line is "what am i? i'm sorry" and then he starts killing people in such an overcomplicated rube goldbergian way. why'd he lash a guy to the ceiling above an upright spear and just wait (fearspren spawning up around them) until the lashing broke and he impaled himself. you didnt have to do that man no one was around to see it
