  1. I picked the Dustbringers (Releasers seems to be the term they prefer for themselves). I'm looking forward to finding out what they can do. Though, I have a theory that it has to something to due with exothermic processes from using stormlight to sever the molecular bonds in a substance, "releasing" the bond energy stored within it (Not that I entirely know what what I'm talking about, been a long time since I studied this stuff. tl,dr version: Insert stormlight into thunderclast, rocks start to breakdown into dust, big boom!
  2. First time poster here. This thread is very theory intensive, but I can't help but feel that some of the disagreement lies in the terms being used to describe events (Nahel bonds, bindspren, entropy, division, etc.) rather than the events themselves. skaa, can you define what you mean by "entropy" and "decay" in relation to stormlight? I have always held the belief that stormlight itself doesn't breakdown into smaller components, it is already at its most simple form. The name stormlight in refers more to the method of delivery of Investiture (the highstorms) rather than any particular form. So the inability to hold stormlight perpetually has less to do with it breaking down rather than seeping out of whatever container is holding it. Breaths are Investiture in a different form, discrete units held within an organic body. The reason for their permanence is that they are attached to (bonded, if you will) to a living soul, which remains after the Breath leaves. That would make Breaths almost like non-sentient, self-contained, "idealess" spren. The humans on Scadrial were created by Ruin and Preservation, which means that the Investiture needed to power their abilities are already inside of them, with the metals serving as a catalyst (I believe there was a WOB saying that the metals were like physical Aons, gateways for the power to come out rather than the source of power). I haven't read The Emperor's Soul yet, so I have no comment on there. Any thoughts?
