  1. I know that little yellow spren being voidspren is likely and whatnot, but I don't see it being bound to a Listener or anything. We know from their songs that the Listeners are too close to the CR to be of much use to spren: You talk about voidspren bonding Listeners to give them forms like Stormform, and we hear nothing of spren accompanying them like this. For a spren to gain as much consciousness as this li'l lady has in the PR, something else has to be going on in my opinion. Unless there's voidspren for changing forms and voidspren for becoming evil KR, for which I don't remember seeing any allusions. I think something else is giving her her strong physical connection.
  2. Mraize: "Your brother was killed by a very capable spearman out in a border dispute some years ago. A spearman so capable, his men called him…" stormblessed"." *cue iceberg hole-ripping sounds* Rip in parshendi, Shaladin.
  3. Except that, Edgedancer spoilers, Just sayin'
  4. Easy: sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
  5. My understanding of phase changes is that when things go from gas to solid, heat must leave the system and thus the blade would be hot, if anything. That's why when you spray any pressurized liquid, it cools things down as it vaporizes. The phase change requires energy (in this second case) and pulls it from its surroundings, making them colder and causing condensation. So either something is off or he's fallen for one of the classic blunders.
  6. Also, are we catching Ivory just as he is about to coalesce into a sword, or what? He's white and fuzzy in the middle, both things that are very un-sprenblade from what we've seen. I wonder how much artistic license the artist is allowed to take on these.
  7. I think there's some more to add to this since new information has been brought about with Edgedancer, spoilers below: Not sure where else to put this, or if it's been mentioned before, but there it is.
  8. Where's this business about music spren and Ryshadium coming from? Also, what's this about seeing red and Odium? I've read the archer scene and heard the dinner scene but I'm not sure there's any reference to seeing red, wanting to kill Gavilar, or anything Odium-related.
  9. True, and now I've seen the WoB that have narrowed down their meaning. However, there's may be something to this moment and that of Jasnah's appearance at the end of WoR in that they both have afterimages and both involve people or events that are closely tied to the cognitive realm.
  10. Don't know of anyone has seen or mentioned this, but here's something I wasn't expecting while reading WoK again. Kaladin is first meeting Syl in the slave cage: Curiouser and curiouser.
  11. I can't figure out how to delete hidden stuff on mobile. Oh well. This Ten Fool theory is interesting. It looks like Kaladin has done us the favor of describing one Fool per book. In WoK, it's Cabine: In WoR, it's Eshu: This second one, Eshu, sure sounds like Nale going off about preventing voidbringers from returning in front of Szeth, who reassures him that they already have. Shallan and Adolin both feel like one of the ten fools when convincing Tvlakv to help her and fighting four shardbearers, respectively. Dunno if that's "I feel real stupid right now" talk or actual "I feel like this guy/girl right now but that's obvious so no need to point it out specifically". There are other references, but Kaladin gives it to us nice and straight. Anyway. Fun thought. We'll see who Kaladin teaches us about next time.
  12. WoB states that normally the magic translates words to the idioms of the local culture. Zahel uses Nalthis phrases because he's more stubborn and really wants to use the actual verbatim phrase. So if she's not so adamant, we'll never know she wasn't from Roshar. At least, that's my understanding. The game is an interesting tidbit though. Maybe Hoid taught it to somebody at some point and it's spread throughout the west.
  13. Yeah, definitely sounds like Wyndle had heard of him and not been there himself. It could have happened any time. Perhaps to study the spren inside greatshells? What Axies would give to chat with him. Though for all we know, Axies doesn't worry much about being eaten either. Maybe Hoid got the idea from him or vice versa.
  14. I interpret that quote another way. Nightblood is a very unique type of Shardblade and what are all Shardblades? Spren. So if Nightblood is a spren, it would be a living Shardblade, not a dead one, that Szeth is bonding to and thus there would come some benefits like holding stormlight and surges. So I'd argue he's gaining abilities.
  15. Wait. Three of sixteen ruled but now the Broken One reigns. Guys. Taln will eventually possess Honor and Cultivation, and maybe even a third shard that maybe gets mixed up in all this. I can't imagine him defeating and possessing Honor, Cultivation, and Odium because then he'd become the new bad guy probably. Unless that's the plot twist. The three intents together probably temper each other so maybe he wouldn't be pure evil but then we'd lose the main antagonist (leaving perhaps only Autonomy). This probably happens at the end of the 10 books. Anyway. New theory, who knows.
