Interview #1133: Chicago, Entry #65

Argent

Does Lift turn food into investiture directly or is it similar to the metals on–

Brandon Sanderson

Similar to the metals.

Argent

So like a gate?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes.

Argent

Okay, that’s good to know.

Brandon Sanderson

She can metabolize– She can draw– It’s not actually the food, it’s– It’s not like the metals, not exactly. It’s not– What she can do is she can metabolize into investiture instead of sugar. Does that make sense?

Argent

Yeah.

Brandon Sanderson

We metabolize food into sugar. She can metabolize it into investiture. Does that make sense?

Argent

That makes a lot of sense. So if she eats–

Brandon Sanderson

She’s got to have a blood sugar spike.

Argent

So if she eats like a cake it will give her more investiture–

Brandon Sanderson

Faster. It will give her faster.

Argent

Whereas if she eats a vegetable…

Brandon Sanderson

Vegetable… More calories is going to equal more. But the better comparison would be a sausage and bread. Because bread is a fast blood sugar spike and the sausage is not. And that’s how I’m working in my head. It’s kind of a magical version of a blood sugar spike and I have it happen to her faster than it could happen. Like normally you eat a piece of bread and your blood sugar spikes in a half hour, it’s going to go faster for Lift.

Argent

Her’s is like five minutes.

Brandon Sanderson

Her’s is like five minutes, but a sausage would be slower.
