hoidthevoid:hoidthevoid:hoidthevoid:it’s very cool how in-depth the physics of the magic systems of the Cosmere are! it’d be cooler if i understood all of it [ID: the “explaining to my mom” meme. The first panel, where the person is explaining something to their mom, reads: “Brandon Sanderson, explaining why a quarter Lashing makes a Windrunner weightless as opposed to a half Lashing which doesn’t make the Windrunner weightless but in fact starts to pull them in the direction of the Lashing”. The second panel, where the mom is staring at the explainer with a flat, vaguely confused expression, reads: “me, reading Rhythm of War for plot and character development”. end ID] [ID: a reply from @badwolf109 that reads: “Maybe I’m misremembering, I thought a quarter lashing puts you at half your normal weight (¾ down + ¼ up) and a half lashing makes you weightless (½ down + ½ up)”. end ID]I thought that as well, and then I read the aforementioned section in Rhythm of War that scrambled my brain on the subject and I can’t remember anymore [ID: a reply from @zeug-not-zoog that reads: “@hoidthevoid what section? I’m rpetty sure that the first response in correct, and coppermind agrees, do you have page or at least chapter numbers?” end ID.]nope! this is 100% based off of my vague memory of one paragraph that I read once and very fast. I think it might’ve been in part 1. I don’t doubt or mind that I’m probably wrong, the paragraph in question was likely supposed to elaborate on existing mechanics and instead sent my brain into the frying pan and scrambled it -- source link
