Interview: Apr 8th, 2016
Question
So we know how people can enter Shadesmar, or the cognitive realm, how do other places, like, we haven't seen anything for the Mistborn series. Do we know how they can enter?Brandon Sanderson
Read Secret History.Question
I did read that, but it didn't really say anything besides that one special case.Brandon Sanderson
Right, Hoid talks about Perpendicularities on Scadrial, if you go look at that there are certain places he talks about that. ,eyes just say that large concentrations of investiture can cause a puncture through the spiritual realm straight to the physical realm. If you know how to use it, you may transition. That's not the only way but is the primary way.Question
And of of Course you can soulcast (Elsecall?) to get there.Brandon Sanderson
Yes.Question
Now that's a very interesting analogy you just made, you said "punctured" almost as if it were a spike.Brandon Sanderson
Yes, yes, that was intentional. Anyone who wants to ask questions after the Magic draft, you guys can come back in maybe 45 minutes. I'll just be hanging out and playing magic. If you’re just here to hang out and ask question, I'll be free to do that in about 45 minutes to an hour.Tags

Interview: Dec 6th, 2016
Harold Washington Library Center-AU Tour (Paraphrased)Question
Is it possible that someone could have gotten to the Cognitive Realm on Scadrial without the Well of Ascension?Brandon Sanderson
Yes.Question
...Can we know how?Brandon Sanderson
Well, how many Shardpools would Scadrial have?Question
Two, so the Pits of Hathsin would be so?Brandon Sanderson
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--Question
Yeah, yeah I know these.Brandon Sanderson
You know which one I’m referencing?Question
Yes.Brandon Sanderson
That you didn’t see a Pool from?Question
Oh wait… [Laughter]Brandon Sanderson
Okay, he knows, so… We’ll move on.Question
Why??!! [general protest, laughter]Brandon Sanderson
Okay, fine. Umm, at the end of Words of Radiance.Argent
There has to be one there because Jasnah has to leave somehow, right?Brandon Sanderson
Yes, but Honor’s Perpendicularity moves.Question
Woah...so...Highstorm?Brandon Sanderson
[hems and haws]Question
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?Brandon Sanderson
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.Question
So it’s just a question of skill, not a question of--Brandon Sanderson
Yeah. It’s hard to pull off...but some of the powers are built to do it.Tags
