Interview #1120: Brandon Sanderson RAFOlympics at JordanCon 8, Entry #42

Question

Is there such a thing as voluntary Hemalurgy?

Brandon Sanderson

Voluntary Hemalurgy? Yes.

Question

…where you can give a power to someone through […]

Brandon Sanderson

Through any means, or through Hemalurgic means?

Question

Er, explain what you mean by that question.

Brandon Sanderson

In Nalthis, you are giving up your power voluntarily to someone else.

Question

Specifically in the context of Scadrial here.

Brandon Sanderson

I mean, can you not imagine a person who’s crazy and who’s like, I will give up my power to this, you know?

Question

But don’t the end results negate?

Brandon Sanderson

You can’t imagine somebody who would do that? I am absolutely sure that at some point even at creating Inquisitors there’s somebody who would be like, yes, I will give my life to the Lord Ruler, so, yes.
