[Rhythm of War + Secret History] Spren Assassination?

Cosmere@sffa.communityEnglish · 1 year ago

Its been a while since I read RoW so I may be wrong on some of this, but this thought came up when reading another post.

RoW - All & Mistborn Secret History

Do we know what happens when a godmetal is taken into the cognitive realm?
We know that lower spren have a presence in both the physical and cognitive realm - do bonded spren have a visible presence in the cognitive realm when they are in the physical? In M:SH people show up as lights in the cognitive realm.
if you can take one of those god metal (or inverted god metal) assassin blades into the cognitive realm, could you kill A) spren B) people using them?

For 3 I was more thinking - if people/spren have a presence in the cognitive realm while in the physical - would one of those daggers, tuned to counter the default investiture of the person kill them (in the physical realm) from the cognitive realm?

This community is a place to discuss books in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere–the shared universe where most of his novels take place. Please take a moment to review our rules!

1. Show respect to others

Every interaction in the community must be kind, respectful, and welcoming. No person should ever feel threatened, harassed, or unwelcome. Do not engage in hate speech, harassment, insults, personal attacks, trolling, or arguing in bad faith. Interpretation of this rule is subject to the moderators’ discretion. Please remember the human.

2. Spoilers not permitted in post titles

Post titles must never reveal spoilers. This includes no direct quotes from the books. Title wording should be vague if necessary. Grey areas are up to the moderators’ discretion.

3. Use spoiler markup for all spoiler posts

Please cover all posts in a spoiler tag. Spoilers outside the scope of a post must be hidden with spoiler markup and the scope indicated. The scope is determined by the post tag flair along with any additional restrictions placed by the OP.

4. Post must be tagged for spoilers

All posts must be tagged to indicate the level of expected spoilers in the link/post and comments. The spoiler scope should include the name of the book or books, such as [Book Name] or [Book Series]. You may also say [No Spoilers] if you don’t want any spoilers at all. Be as specific as possible. You can even say [Book Name Ch 34], for example.

5. No excessive reposting

Identical content may not be reposted within, by default, a two week period. This period may be adjusted at the moderators’ discretion.

6. Posts must be on topic

Posts must be related to the Cosmere. Posts relating to sensitive topics (such as politics, religions, etc.) will be subject to greater scrutiny… Meta discussions related to the community are generally permitted. Self promotion for money is disallowed. Art, podcasts, videos and other such actual content is allowed.

7. Respect intellectual property

Piracy and copyright infringement are strictly forbidden. With some exceptions, all content must comply with Dragonsteel’s licensing and fanart policies. Artwork must be attributed and may not be posted against the artist’s wishes. Fan art should be marked as [OC] or credited to the original artist. If AI was used as a tool, please also mark the post [AI: Tool Used], for example [AI: Midjourney].

8. Leaked content is not permitted

Content which is released outside of Brandon Sanderson’s wishes is not allowed under any circumstances. Pre-release content publicly released by Brandon, Dragonsteel Entertainment, or a publisher is okay if marked appropriately for spoilers.

9. Posts must be thoughtful and unique (Except Fri-Sun, PST)

Posts must provide original thoughts, questions, ideas, news, or interpretations of the books that can be discussed by the community.

Restricted content often includes: memes; images reminiscent of something in the books; AI-generated artwork; photos of books, bookshelves, merchandise; casting posts; photos of pets; etc. This content is not restricted in /c/brandonsanderson if you’d like to post there.
