Steeldancer Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 In edgedancer lift seems to understand that stump needs spheres to get the stormlight. And yet she never does it herself. How does she know this, and does she just think eating things is easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoolofwhool Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) I believe that Lift does understand that she needs stormlight in order to surgebind; Wyndle has certainly explained it enough times to her. However, she chooses to think about it as awesomeness to her personally because it fits how she views the world more easily. In general though, I think it has been said that for Lift, converting to stormlight is easier than drawing it from spheres because she's not practiced at drawing it from spheres, nor does she ever try.

Mirdrim Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I would agree with Spool here, I think she is aware but prefers to metabolize it. It seems like she can retain Stormlight much better than a normal Surgebinder this way. If you remember the battle with Kaladin & Szeth, Kal pulls a decent amount of Stormlight from the pouches at Szeth's waist, which is necessitated by the fact that they can't hold Stormlight for any lengthy duration. I doubt that the 13 year old has thought it through to that extent, she's simply doing what she's used to, and what's easier for her, but I'm sure Brandon did this deliberately, and we will find her surprising foes and using it strongly to her advantage in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a WoB regarding that. Do you have a source for that WoB? I've done a quick search and haven't found anything. I vaguely recall Brandon maybe RAFOing it a while back, but it's so vague I'm not sure that I'm not making it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt pretty sure that I had seen it in a WoB, but I wasn't certain and I can't find it now. I'll remove that line, but if I find the WoB I'll post it.
