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

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

Harold Washington Library Center-AU Tour (Paraphrased)Question

Is that because there are predators that can sense your thoughts and sense your presence in the Cognitive Realm as you’re traveling across the Perpendicularity before the--Brandon Sanderson

Interview: Dec 6th, 2016
Harold Washington Library Center-AU Tour (Paraphrased)Question
Does Silverlight have a permanent Perpendicularity?Brandon Sanderson
Silverlight has...weird. So I’m gonna give a RAFO to that.Question
Cause, it’s got a physical constellation map. So they’ve gotta go to the Physical somehow right?Brandon Sanderson
No, no, no. That can be in the Cognitive Realm.Argent
The constellation map can be a picture from the Cognitive?Brandon Sanderson
Well, yeah, I mean, it can be a picture in the Cognitive. That is a picture that exists in Silverlight.Argent
Right, sure, but they need to be somewhere to view those things.Brandon Sanderson
Right, I didn’t say that that’s from the perspective Silverlight, but the picture is hanging there.Question
Is there actually anything on the Physical end of Silverlight?Brandon Sanderson
That’s the RAFO. There can’t be a Perpen--well, there could be a Perpendicularity, but then you’d have to go someplace in the Physical, and it gets all... it’s really weird.Tags
