A place to discuss stories set in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere! Non-Cosmere series such as Skyward are also welcome here.

Make sure to tag spoilers. Posts titles should begin with [Book title] to denote what spoilers can be discussed in the thread without tags. i.e [Words of Radiance] or [WoR]

Warning! Spoiler markup currently does not work on the Jerboa or Mlem apps. Spoiler text will be plainly visible when viewing from these apps.

Any comments with spoilers outside the scope of the book mentioned in the title, or books preceding it in a series should be tagged. Lemmy's spoiler formatting for post bodies and comments is:

[Spoiler label here]

Trying to drum up discussion as others have mentioned. Full spoilers.

Which of the 16 Shards of Adonalsium would you pick, had you been present at the shattering? Or be able to Connect to well enough to pick up? Would you try to modify its intent in any way, a la Harmony/Discord?

Working as an engineer, I've gotta go with Invention. We've seen so little of it but the name, but it's the only one of the 16 I've heard of that I think I could mesh well enough with.

I'm not sure what a modified Invention would look like, but I would try to take it down a wacky Rube Goldberg path. Everybody on the planet has to make pointless gadgets to help them take of their slippers at night kind of Invention.
