  1. Oh that's right she hulks out to tear the things out with magic. And yes that one was not really built to.
  2. Now that this podcast pointed it out “main character unlocks their powers in the last few pages and saves the day” really is most of his cosmere books. Elantris, all of SA (Kaladin, Kaladin, Dalinar, Navani) Bands of Mourning, Warbreaker Not necessarily a criticism but it does happen a lot. I feel like MB era 1 didn’t do it as much. More like they just figured out a secret involving magic. Or completely screwed up depending.
  3. I think the one that has another origin is Re-Shephir because she has/is made of midnight essence which is an Aether. Aether's aren't native to Roshar, but whatever Re-Shephir was Unmade from she was probably on Roshar before she got was changed. BAM seems like a Bondsmith spren to me. She was connected to thousands of Singers at once, giving them forms when she was captured damaging all those Singers' spiritweb. She seems really powerful and connecting or uniting things is the Bondsmiths main thing. I see where you are coming from and in RoW they are trying to add the Sibling to the Unmade. I just think that's because they are trying to turn the Tower to their favor permanently and not to complete their collection of 10 types of radiant Spren. The other thing is some of these Unmade are real dumb and the radiant spren are not. The Thrill is a big dummy gleefully walking into Dalinar's trap at the end of Oathbringer. We see in an "enlightened" radiant spren in Renarin's spren and it isn't dumb or any more powerful than other Radiant spren, just different.
  4. I forgot about this. I need to start my reread.
  5. 100% agree with Eric I don’t want question prompting shirts.
  6. The voice from his youth is either an unmade or a Spren. My theory is it’s the same Highspren he’s bonded to now. He has notably never heard his current Spren speak.
  7. @alder24 @Argenti @Duxredux Thanks for the responses! Makes sense.
  8. They are classified as hemalurgic constructs on the coppermind, but I am unclear on if that rules out them also being cognitive shadows. There is a WoB where he says Kandra are not cognitive shadows because they didn't die they merely changed. Two railroad-sized spikes through the brain doesn't seem survivable. Do their spikes simultaneously kill them and "staple" their soul, or an investiture fossil of their soul, to their body? https://coppermind.net/wiki/Hemalurgy#Hemalurgic_Constructs https://wob.coppermind.net/events/331/#e9405
  9. Such a coy sneaky man that Brandon. *Sigh* I guess I’ll read it.
  10. I think someone bought the rights to it and then decided to put it "on hold" because it would be expensive, he's never been adapted before so it's not a surefire hit and all the streaming services started losing tons of money around the same time in 2022 which lines up with the timing. It's possible they picked it back up and are moving forward again. It would be neat if that's what it was. If it's an in-book Stormlight thing then the Heralds or the Radiant orders inspired by them would be the 6+3+1. Like who is on whose side, 6 side with the humans, 3 side with Odium (Nale+2 others) 1 is independent (Chana). If it's radiant orders 3 siding with Odium would be Skybreakers, Dustbringers and ???. 1 would be the Bondsmiths who unite the all and in the darkness bind them, wait wrong thing. Eh, it's probably another kickstarter announcement or something.
  11. Good point! I forgot how much they like their naps :). Kind of sad how terrible a shape many of their minds are compared to the Heralds who are also a mess but have been tortured and don't get naps.
  12. I mistyped Nohadon's name earlier and realized it's either a reference to the biblical Noah or an anagram for "Don Noah" hinting at him heading a crime syndicate of some sort (OG KR?!). Nohadon was a young leader after most of humanity was wiped out. His own nation lost 9 out of every 10 people. Other nations had it even worse. He was alive when Urithiru came to be. Is Urithiru an ARK?!?!?! Urithiru spaceship confirmed! Anyways, I think I found one of Brandon's puns or whatever and now you get to groan at it too!
  13. Radiant seems like Shallan's idealized version of her mom, who was (probably) the Herald Chana. I would posit a theory that she absorbed her mother's soul and it manifests as Radiant, but there is no evidence of that magic being a thing, so why bring it up? I dunno I just think like the idea. I am 100% onboard with Chana being her mom, I am not onboard with her breaking. No one needed to break for the events of this series to happen. The Fused came back because of the piece of the Everstorm being moved to Roshar and summoned into the physical realm. It created a bridge for them (a lot of bridges in the series). I think Chana has been on Roshar as long as Taln who also didn't break this time either. She hasn't sought out her family because she tried to kill her daughter and feels bad about it. Why wouldn't the Fused have just retuned if she broke? Not like the Heralds are in any condition to help the humans. Even Taln is a total wreck. Why wait until the Everstorm was brought into the physical realm? The Listeners just barely succeeded in the summoning. I don't want to tell the Fused how to do their job, but if it were me I would actively help protect the people that Odium's big Oathpact workaround hinged upon instead leaving it all up to Ulum and the descendants of "traitors" who barely know any forms.
  14. I don't think a bondsmith did it in the past. I think the Spren did it themselves. It can happen, Ishar knows that much. I think he fails because the spren is not wiling and cognitive beings like stick can resist change. They can become fabrials and blades on their own maybe other things are possible. In Nohadon's day they could become blades without anyone swearing oaths and Aimia was around before Honor's death. It was a silver kingdom. Stormfather has plot convenient amnesia. Him not realizing something is possible is not necessarily the final word. Plus he's been acting very different with Dalinar than he did with Gailvar, he can lie, but I don't think he's lying here. Thanks for letting me know about the WoB I wasn't aware of it. He says they are not descendents, they are not human - spren hybrids. He wasn't asked they are Spren transformed into living humanoids. I think they are just spren made into physical realm beings straight up and they either don't age or have extremely long lives, similar to spren who are live indefinitely unless unmade or antiinvestitured.
