  1. From what we have seen of the surge, which would be Lift using it, it seems to do the same for others as stormlight healing does to yourself. It has however not seen as much exploration as I believe it will get in future books, with two proto radiants known so far to be able to use it. Then again, stormlight healing could also potentially be expanded upon in future books.
  2. Assuming the mappings of pre- to post-publication glyphs is correct, (some are obviously so while other leave a bit more leeway for interpretation) we see some other poignant and intresting changes as well. While the surges and heralds remain without changes the symbols of the [orders? essences? both?] have changed arond quite the deal. I suppose I'll still refer to them with the names of the orders for simplicity despite the questions that have been brought up earlier in this thread. For clarity: I will be refering to the positions that they prior to publication held. The Windrunner glyph was moved to the Elsecaller position. The Skybreaker glyph was moved to the Windrunner position. The Dustbringer glyph was moved to the Lightweaver position. The Edgedancer glyph was moved to the Skybreaker position. The Truthwatcher glyph remained in place. The Lightweaver glyph was moved to the Edgedancer position. The Elsecaller glyph was moved to the Dustbringer position. The Willshaper glyph remained in place. The Stoneward glyph remained in place. The Bondsmith glyph remained in place. This begs the question of why these late changes where six of the glyphs positions were swapped around were made. The colous make it seem as though the asociated gemstones all remained in place as well. On the 2003 complex chart the only elemental properties, which seem to correspond to the soulcasting properties whe know today, to have changed is the exchange of wood for flesh and the other way around, of fire for crystal and the other way around and of wather for blood. None of these are mapable in any way to the changes of the glyphs. The elemental properties seem very closely conected to the essences which makes me think that the glyphs despite what we have now been told do connect to the orders. Either that or the choices are mostly aestethic, which makes little scense considering that they are writing signs that certain other members of this forum have managed to work out some logic behind. One thing in particular that I find odd is the changed position of the Windrunner glyph when it is obviously styled as a crown and the position of Jezrien isn't changed.
  3. Living in Europe there was no eclipse for me at all, though I have some time ago experienced the northern lights (during a firework even) I suppose that's another natural phenomena with a spren-esque feel to it.
  4. There are a lot of good ideas in there, but I do not yet fell that the pieces to bind them together are there. Part of the purposed premise seems rather lacking though, specifically about the ideals and how they go together with the Shards. I simply do not see how the primary/secondary groupings would overlap to a fuller extent with the intents of Honor/Cultivation as they stand. There are ideals in both that would fit much better in with the other, specifically Shallash's ideals seem to be swapped as I can't fathom why Honor would choose for creativity, nor cultivation for honesty but the opposite would fit perfectly. As such, I think you are reading in too much into the groupings into a primary and a secondary ideal. I don't really see why you feel the need to encompass this into the same theory though as this seems loosely connected to the rest at most. Edit: Ninjad by phoenix2536
  5. I honestly can´t say that I can see much likelihood of character development towards likeability in Elhokar's near future. The reason that I'm saying this is because despite all that has happened to him in the past, despite being a grown man, a father and husband, despite having been put in a position where you'd need to grow up fast as the ruler of a storming country Elhokar still hasn't stopped acting like a child. And a whiny, spoiled brat at that! He never thinks about the consequences before he acts, and when the bad things inevitably happens he doesn't even take responsibility for them. He's always depended on others, first his father and now his uncle, to clean up his mistakes. And I haven't seen a thing showing that he actually cares what happens to others. Seriously, he even picks at his food like a child! If nothing so far has managed to break him out of it, I'm not sure even the refunding of the Knights Radiant and the end of things as we know them would. I'd be happy to see my predictions wrong because it is seriously annoying to read about a grown kid, but I'd be equally happy if the turn of events meant that he would fall out of the focus of the story.
  6. That Marsh was given eleven initially doesn't mean that all Lord Ruler era Inquisitors were though. And given the placements of the other one's spikes it seems that it was in the chest they differed.
  7. I will have to contest you on it being eleven spikes listed. The eye spikes are listed as two, that would be one through each eye, but there is only listed "one through the shoulders" not one through each - which, for consticity, would have been described as two. "Through the shoulders" is a rather vague term. One that, with the linchpin spike and its placement known, could well be taken to mean the area right between them.
  8. Are we actually so shure of Shallan's mother being one of the Skybreakers? True, they would be the only known group (save the Listeners) who are going around trying to off Radiants, but Nale is still keeping vehemently within the boundries of the law and I would expect any follower of his to do the same. If that would still be the reason why Shallan was to be killed there would need to be something within Veden law allowing for this. We know of no thing that could have happened to allow this. To be fair, we know no details of Shallan's life prior to this save that something caused her to break and she attracted Pattern, and said breaking point could potentially have come with a law break. But if we allready are speaking in the unknowns, the only known group...
  9. Looking forward to the update then!
  10. As an avid phone user I'm most likely to be seen on the mobile version of 17th shard, but I have been on the computer version as well and seen the differences. To clarify, I always tend to use the "full version" (the link at the bottom of the page) because it looks neater and shows the signatures. But, despite it being a "full" version, there are features of the real full version that it lacks. I'm of course talking about the posting alternatives. I'm not very good with writing code. I basically know the BOLD and italicised configuratures and not much more. While I do know how to write a normal smiley the ninja one's coding is never going to stay long in my mind. I can't be the only one with these problems. Is there a reason as to why these shortcut buttons have been left out of accessability from phones and tablets or has this just been an oversight when building the page? Are there already plans as to ad them? I'm sure an addition would be well recieved.
  11. Bendaloy. If there is something tasty around I have dificult to stop eating, but I'm also very lazy quite often and do not want to cook anything. As a subsumer I wouldn't have to and also wouldn't need larger trousers because of the overeating. As a bonus it would be economical, and well... I AM a college student
  12. Inky (Inquisitor #5) and I also managed to pull that one of in our roleplaying group. It payed of, one of the other guys also got hooked on Brandon's books.
  13. Storm it! You found out my secret! ...Um, I mean of course not. That would be silly.
  14. First I want to share a what the storm event. Due to tecnical problems we had two lecture room changes and almost an hour of delay, but, despite that, we ended up ending early - by 20 minutes! And the lecture was only scheduled to 1 hour 45 minutes! Second is the exitement event. We are going to a castle after the lunch with my course! We are to look at an exhibition with clothes from Elizabeth: the golden age!
  15. Heh... I'm aparently so good at it that playing it as is isn't enough. I do all sorts of self-imposed challenges (owl-less etc.) I should probably try my hand on one of the increased difficulity hacks, but I just end up watcjing the lets-plays of them...
