#investiture
Text
So I started Elantris on my Wind and Truth reread and pretty much immediately an idea latched on.
On page 76 of my copy, Raoden's narration says that becoming an Elantrian is all that's needed to access AonDor, and that there were "no incantations, no sacrifices, no special potions or ingredients" required to form the symbols. Seems pretty normal right? But Dakhor's access to the Dor requires sacrifices. And the very 420-friendly potion guy that Hrathen uses has Invested potions from whatever his country's magic system is (or potentially that's the Jesker access method).
So what if there actually IS a Selish magic that uses incantations to access it? There's so much of that world that we know nothing about.
And knowing BSandy, if anything like that does exist, there's even odds in my mind that it'll be connected to the musical magic system he said he tried to make at one point but couldn't make work. Changing according to rhythms and notes to eke out the power, maybe.

There is always another secret...
Last week for #cosmerefashionmonth and this time it is cosmere themed! Well... mostly Hoid. But there is Kelsier bonus on top. :)
image descriptions below the cut
[image description:
The first image is of Hoid in a black three piece suit with a black coat loose on his shoulders walking towards the viewer. He wears a black broad rimmed fedora hat and dark sunglasses and smiles a mysterious and confident smile. The coat flaps dramatically around him. It's exposed lining gleams in saturated colours, as is the lining of the blazer jacket, the ascot, bits of the shirt, Hoid's socks and fine lines on the hat. In the colorful mash symbols of all kinds of investiture powers overlap each other.
There is a second version of the picture with the lining being more orange and dark purples and teals instead of the brighter pink and violets of the first version.
The third image pictures Hoid slumping more than casually in a dark red armchair, one leg hooked over the armrests the other stretched out in its long lengthiness. He is in the same dark three piece suite with the pink /purple glowing lining details, ascot and socks peaking out here and there. His long coat and fedora hat hang over the back of the armchair and his dark glasses are pushed to the top of his head. He smiles up at Jasnah, his hands broadly gesturing towards himself. Jasnah stands before him. She wears loose, wide dress pants of a dark teal colour and a vest in a lighter shade. Underneath the vest she wears a light cream high necked blouse with ruffled detail on the front. Her hair is in a big bun at the upper back of her head. She looks down with puckered lips and narrowed eyes, conveying deep suspicion. Her arms are crossed and she holds a looking glass in her left gloved hand.
The fourth image is of standing in front of a white backdrop, wearing a white suit and shirt. He holds a tin bucket of paint in his right hand and a paint brush in his left. The paintr is smeared over his suit and broadly grinning face. It drips off the bucket and the brush. It colour oscillates between purple, oranges, pink and blue. On closer inspection cosmere symbols for different systems of investiture are showing up within the colour. On the inside of Kelsier's rolled up sleeves the allomancy symbols are visible.]

Cosmere Spoilers
So in the Cosmere we have investiture driven by touch, as seen in The Sunlit Man, and to a lesser extent Tress. We have investiture driven by sight, in the form of the physical arts found in Yumi. Roshar has investiture driven by sound as we know storm light is reactive to audio frequencies both found in song and artificially generated. And finally we have investiture driven, in part, by taste (okay this is a stretch) in the Mistborn books. Arguably, taste could be developed further where different potions allow for more direct manipulation of investiture.
But what we don't have, is investiture driven by smell. Where is my investiture powers that allow someone to pull raw investiture from perfumes. Where is a home cooked meal pulling in raw power?
What I'm really asking is: which planet in the Cosmere invests a fart?

12: William’s investiture as POW to take place as part of Charles’s coronation ceremony.
Busted as of description in letters of patent. Private ceremony 😔🇬🇧
I disagree.
The letters patent for Charles and David have the same identical language, BUT:
Charles's LP was published in 1958 while his investiture was in 1969.
Edward/David's LP was published in 1910 on his 16th birthday, while his investiture was a year later in 1911. (Edit: Edward's investiture came a few weeks after George V's coronation which makes it more likely for William's investiture to come after Charles's coronation too. Maybe during this return visit to Wales that he and Catherine keep promising everyone.)
(See notes about the creations and investitures here.)
This suggests that the description is the traditional boilerplate language and is in no way a confirmation that there was an investiture. Therefore I do not consider it resolved and I personally won't, not until there are publicly available photographs or other solid incontrovertible proof.
If you click the link for Edward/David below, it will take you to a page that has all of the letters patent text for all creations of the Prince of Wales, and you'll see that the same language has been used since 1841/Queen Victoria. Edward VII probably did have the private investiture that the language was created for, which was then copied forward for the others. Why keep reinventing the wheel?
(Texts for William's, Charles's, and Edward/David's letters patent creating them as Prince of Wales are below the jump.)
William:
Know Ye that We have made and created and by these Our Letters Do make and create Our most dear Son and most faithful Counsellor William Arthur Philip Louis Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Duke of Cornwall Rothesay and Cambridge Earl of Carrick and Strathearn Baron of Renfrew Baron Carrickfergus Knight Companion of Our Most Noble Order of the Garter Knight of Our Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester And to the same Our most dear Son William Arthur Philip Louis Have given and granted and by this Our present Charter Do give grant and confirm the name style title dignity and honor of the same Principality and Earldom And him Our most dear Son William Arthur Philip Louis as has been accustomed we do ennoble and invest with the said Principality and Earldom by girting him with a Sword by placing a Coronet on his head and a Gold Ring on his finger and also by delivering a Gold Rod into his hand that he may preside there and may direct and defend those parts To hold to him and his heirs Sovereigns of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of Our other Realms and Territories Heads of the Commonwealth for ever Wherefore We Will and strictly command for Us Our heirs and successors that Our most dear Son William Arthur Philip Louis may have the same name style title state dignity and honour of the Principality of Wales and Earldom of Chester aforesaid unto him and his heirs Sovereigns of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Our other Realms and Territories Heads of the Commonwealth as is above mentioned.
Charles:
Know Ye that We have made and created and by these Our Letters Do make and create Our most dear Son Charles Philip Arthur George Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay Earl of Carrick Baren of Renfew Lord of the Isles and Great Steward of Scotland Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester.

In Witness whereof We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patent. Witnessed Ourself at Westminster the twenty-sixth day of July in the seventh year of Our Reign.
Edward/David:
Know ye that We have made and created and by these Our Letter Patent do make and create Our Most Dear Son, Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Grand Steward of Scotland, Duke of Saxony and Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, and to the same, Our Most Dear Son Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, have given and granted. And by this our present Charter do give, grant, and confirm the name, style, title, dignity and honour of the same Principality and Earldom, and Him Our said Most Dear Son Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David as has been accustomed We do ennoble and invest with the said Principality and Earldom by girding Him with a sword, by putting a coronet on His head, and a gold ring on his finger, and also by delivery a gold rod into his hand, that he may preside there and may direct and defend those parts to hold to him and his heirs Kings of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas for ever. Wherefore We Will and strictly command for Us, our heirs and successors, that Our said most dear son, Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David may have the name, style, title, dignity, and honour of the Principality of Wales and Earldom of Chester aforesaid unto him and his heirs Kings of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas as is above mentioned.

If I could ask Brandon Sanderson one question it would be this:
It’s been established that allomancers have some level of resistance to heavy metal poisoning; otherwise they’d be, well, dead due to all the metal they eat. HOWEVER. Would a pregnant allomancer be able to safely ingest metals, or would she run the risk of harming her child in the womb?

LONDON -- King Charles III's highly anticipated coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6, at Westminster Abbey, making him the 40th monarch to be crowned at the church.
William the Conqueror was the first to hold a coronation on Christmas Day in 1066.
The most recent was Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953.
The Windsors are the only royal family in Europe that still holds coronations.
Although Charles immediately became king by law upon the death of his mother, the coronation is a "ceremony marking the formal investiture of a monarch with regal power," according to the royal family's website.
"The coronation will reflect the monarch's role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry," Buckingham Palace said in a statement earlier this year.
What we can expect to see on Coronation Day
Like every coronation since 1066, it will be held in Westminster Abbey and will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury -- the Church of England's most senior cleric.
The palace describes it as "a solemn religious service" and it acknowledges the king's role as both the head of state and head of the Church of England.
The king is the Church's Supreme Governor.
Charles' wife, Queen Consort Camilla, will also be crowned.
"The ceremony will see His Majesty King Charles III crowned alongside The Queen Consort," according to the palace.
Since the late 14th century, coronations have followed the instructions laid out in the Liber Regalis or "royal book," a medieval Latin manuscript that describes the order of service.
Alastair Bruce, ABC News royalty consultant and one of the U.K.'s leading experts on coronations, said there are five key stages to a coronation: the recognition, the coronation oath, the anointing, the investiture (which includes the crowning) and the homage.
The Recognition
During the recognition, the monarch is presented to his or her people.
The archbishop of Canterbury is expected to proclaim King Charles "the undoubted King" and call on the attendees to support him.
For the queen's coronation in 1953, the archbishop presented the queen to the east, south, west, and north.
People shouted "God Save Queen Elizabeth!" with trumpets sounding after each recognition.
The Coronation Oath
For this part of the service, the archbishop of Canterbury asks three questions to the monarch.
King Charles will place his hand on the Holy Bible and say, "The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God."
The king will then sign an oath, pledging to serve the people and rule according to law.
"This is the only time that a monarch signs a written obligation to his or her people," Bruce said.
The Anointing
Of all the coronation moments, Bruce said the anointing or unction is the most important.
"This is where the Archbishop of Canterbury makes a cross with holy oil on the royal forehead and elsewhere on the body to show that the monarch has been chosen by God," according to the Westminster Abbey website.
"This signals the conferment of God's grace upon a ruler," according to David Torrance, who wrote a paper on coronations for the House of Commons' Library.
For Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, the archbishop anointed her with these words:
"Be thy head anointed with holy oil: as kings, priests, and prophets were anointed. And as Solomon was anointed king by Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet, so be you anointed, blessed and consecrated Queen over the Peoples, whom the Lord thy God hath given thee to rule and govern."
This sacred moment was barred from the cameras. The queen was covered with a canopy so people couldn't see as the archbishop dabbed oil on her face, chest and hands.
According to a former dean of Westminster, "At its heart, the anointing of the Sovereign and clothing with priestly garments that precede the coronation itself, resemble the ordination of a priest or the consecration of a bishop."
The anointing oil contains a mixture of orange flowers, roses, jasmine, cinnamon, musk, civet and ambergris.
London pharmacy John Bell and Croyden holds the "recipe and a sample of the famous anointing oil used when a new sovereign is crowned," according to its website.
It displays a replica of the bottle of oil in its London shop. The actual oil is under lock and key.
"Richard II is given the words by Shakespeare that describe why an anointing is so important: 'Not all the water in the rough rude sea can wash the balm off from an anointed king,'" Bruce noted.
The Investiture
The monarch now puts on ceremonial clothing known as the Colobium Sindonis and the Supertunica, a full-length coat made of gold silk cloth.
Coronation regalia is presented to the king or queen.
He or she will be invested with the coronation bracelets, known as armills, representing sincerity and wisdom, followed by the stole, the robe royal and the orb.
The monarch is also presented with the coronation ring and the sceptre with the cross and the rod with the dove.
The Crowning
"The real key moment is the anointing but the visual moment is the crowning," said Bruce.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will slowly place the more than 400-year-old St Edward's Crown on the king's head.
The St Edward's Crown weighs 4 pounds and 12 ounces and is made of solid gold. It is the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels.
This is the only time the king will ever wear the St Edward's Crown.
It is sized to fit King Charles' head after it had "been removed from the Tower of London to allow for modification work late last year," according to a palace statement.
At previous coronations, it was at this moment, Bruce said, that the king's peers put on their coronets and the congregation shouts "God Save the King!" or "God Save the Queen!"
The guns at the Tower of London are fired.
Why do kings and queens wear crowns?
"It is to adorn the head that has been anointed with an earthly halo," said Bruce. "That's the concept of a crown."
And where they are crowned also has symbolism, according to Bruce.
"We crown them on a tumulus, an old Saxon and Teutonic tradition where you raise the new king on the burial chamber of a previous king. The tumulus in Westminster Abbey is made up of principally of Edward the Confessor's Tomb," he explained.
The Homage
The king is then expected to move from the coronation chair up some steps to the throne for the final part of the ceremony, which is the homage.
This is when the sovereign's subjects swear their allegiance. The homage is traditionally begun by the archbishop of Canterbury.
It remains to be seen who will pay homage to King Charles III at his coronation, or whether the traditional way of kneeling, kissing and touching the crown will take place.
The Queen Consort
The last time a Queen Consort was crowned was in 1937.
Camilla will be crowned after the homage.
"The queen is crowned at the will of the king," explained Bruce.
The king is expected to give a nod and then the queen will be crowned.
"It's traditional that the queen is anointed too," Bruce added. However, the entire ceremony is much simpler and shorter than for a monarch.
Ending the service
Traditionally, the king is expected to take Holy Communion and go into the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, which is behind the high altar.
He will put on the Imperial State Crown and purple velvet robe, then emerge for the final procession through the Abbey carrying the orb and sceptre.
The congregation will sing the National Anthem - "God Save the King."
The king will leave Westminster Abbey and start the procession back to Buckingham Palace.
He is expected to travel in the Gold State Coach. He will have the orb and sceptre with him.
After returning to Buckingham Palace, the newly crowned king and queen will appear on the balcony to greet the crowds.
The coronation service on Saturday, May 6, will be the focal point of a weekend of celebrations.
There will also be a concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday, with the palace encouraging people to come together for a big lunch that same day and to volunteer in their communities on Monday, a holiday in the U.K.
"Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort hope the Coronation Weekend will provide an opportunity to spend time and celebrate with friends, families and communities across the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth," the palace announced in a statement.
