Is it possible that someone could have gotten to the Cognitive Realm on Scadrial without the Well of Ascension?
Yes.
…Can we know how?
Well, how many Shardpools would Scadrial have?
Two, so the Pits of Hathsin would be so?
Yes. So you’ve adopted the term “Shardpool.” That was never really my term, but I’ve started using it. What happens with a Perpendicularity is large concentrations of Investiture, particularly purely attuned to one of the Shards, will create an access point. You’ve seen another one–
Yeah, yeah I know these.
You know which one I’m referencing?
Yes.
That you didn’t see a Pool from?
Oh wait… [Laughter]
Okay, he knows, so… We’ll move on.
Why??!! [general protest, laughter]
Okay, fine. Umm, at the end of Words of Radiance.
There has to be one there because Jasnah has to leave somehow, right?
Yes, but Honor’s Perpendicularity moves.
Woah…so…Highstorm?
[hems and haws]
So, I don’t know if this is a RAFO sort of question, but you call them Perpendicularities, will we see this sort of thing created?
Yeah, Perpendicularities can be created. You’d need a ton of Investiture. But, basically what Jasnah does is create a little mini Perpendicularity and slips herself into the Cognitive Realm.
So it’s just a question of skill, not a question of–
Yeah. It’s hard to pull off…but some of the powers are built to do it.
