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 -- source link
