  1. I'm not sure if Ishar would make Syl human, but I did find something in Words of Radiance that got me thinking. In WoR Kaladin keeps mentioning that he's afraid that the lighteyes could somehow take away his powers / connection with Syl. He recognizes the irrationality and there is of course the whole issue of whether he would hold to his oaths, but it made me wonder whether or not this could be foreshadowing of Ishar stealing Kaladin's connection with Syl, which could of course be related to him making Syl human.
  2. Another thought about Radiant's objective is that Radiant was meant to protect Shallan from responsibility. Radiant is Shallan's ideal of what a respectable Knight Radiant should be and it is often why Radiant comes out to deal with things that Shallan doesn't want to have to deal with. Part of responsibility is shouldering the weight of your actions. We see Radiant shield Shallan from this in one instance where Radiant saw that Shallan was about to kill Ialai Sadeas and instead of letting her do it, Radiant does it and doesn't tell her. In this case Radiant takes upon herself the responsibility of murdering someone, so Shallan doesn't have to. Just like Veil hid Shallan's memories such as the whole killing her spren, Radiant could recognize that the biggest responsibility that Shallan holds is not that of killing her parents or her spren, but the impact these things may have had on the world. Specifically this could be that Radiant is shielding Shallan from the idea that Shallan had doomed the world by killing her mom, so while she remembers killing her mom, Radiant is still hiding the effects that had on the world. Just a thought about what Radiant's role might be for Shallan even if this whole theory doesn't come to fruition.
  3. Its interesting because Taravangian says that his best and most brilliant days are quite similar to his bad and dumb days. What would be really funny, is if when he made the Diagram, he was actually having his dumbest day. Its just that he was so dumb, that he actually thought that his Diagram was the plan to save the world, when its the plan to destroy the world.
