  1. Granted, there is now peace on Mars. However, Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, after hearing of this, decided to launch a full-scale nuclear war, throwing the Earth into WW3. I wish for all the damage caused by humans over the course of history, including all the banes they brought upon themselves (unless they only affect themselves, and not the rest of society or nature) for asking the Nightwatcher's for boons to be reversed and the natural order of things to be restored.
  2. So with electrons and quantum physics, they can do virtually infinite things. We can measure an electron, but that essentially freezes it's existence, we can't know it's current momentum or what it was or could be, just what it currently is. If you measure and record a sprens current state, it freezes to that state. Not sure if this has a major impact on the overall story, but I'd say it makes sense.
  3. Granted, but you now know the exact time, place, and way of your death. You can not avoid it, nor tell anyone of it. Not a day will go by where you do not think of when and how you will die, forever staring Into The Void. I wish for the ability to understand anything I wish to learn or encounter and therefore obtain the knowledge of everything.
  4. How does Hoid, or Vasher travel? Will the Stormlight books discover this? What does everyone think?
  5. Here is another thought. On Nalthis, there are limited breaths. A large amount of breaths on Nalthis could be nothing compared to the amount of spren on Roshar. If Vasher were to have a large amount of breaths on Nalthis, the amount would cause a color aura to show around him. It's entirely possible he has managed to gain so much stormlight on Roshar that not only does he never really need to worry about breaths again, but the color aura is so huge, the entire planet is bathed in it, so you wouldn't be able to notice it.
  6. In the second book, there is a part where two scholars realize that if they record a spren's current characteristics, it is unable to change it's characteristics until they are erased from the paper they are written on. It is possible that the spren in shardblades 'died' when they were forgotten and if Adolin is able to somehow speak his blades spren's name or bring it to life, just him knowing the characteristics of the spren will be enough to bring it back, since it will be again 'recorded' through memory. At least, that's my take on it.
  7. 1. Kaladin is going to struggle with being a lighteyes 2. A large-scale civil war will break out against those with and those against the Radiants having returned. 3. Odium is somehow going to show up, or reveal his 'champion' (will it be eshonai, or someone new?) 4. Shallan will be forced to choose between Kal and Adolin 5. Lift will make her way to the rest of the Radiants.
  8. I can't see every single Knights Radiant deciding to abandon their oaths at the same time. If freewill was involved, there would have to be some hold outs, which there wasn't. Somehow, they were forced to abandon their oaths, it's the only thing that makes sense, and losing their spren in some way, be it them getting locked into their current state, or the bond being broken by some outside force, all at once, is the only logical conclusion I can make.
  9. I don't think the blades 'go' anywhere. The spren are the blades, so basically based on need and a strong bond the spren are able to define themselves as a blade, or spear, or baton, or fork, or whatever it is that the Radiant needs.
  10. My first read through, I hated her. Couldn't wait to get through the chapter and get back to Kaladin or Dalinar. Now that I'm reading it again, I'm finding I like her. She is relate able, she has good depth, a personality. I really don't know why I hated reading her before. Maybe it was because her story arch started slower the Kaladin's? Either way, can't wait to read more of her!
  11. I was thinking it would be more like Odium or another Shard. Now that I've reread some of the intermission chapters, it just doesn't make sense for Brandon to mention them without them being important. We know spren make up shardblades, and that something happened to them so they can't change and are trapped. We know spren can be trapped in their current state by writing down their measurements. Maybe the Knights Radiants did it to themselves on accident, they were curious and started writing down the properties of their blades and plates to compare, and accidentally trapped them. That doesn't seem as likely as an outside force doing it since all of them were effected, and I would imagine once one of them was effected all the rest wouldn't continue to document their spren. Maybe it was just scholars, and they didn't realize what they were doing to the KR. I feel like there has to be a connection somewhere.
  12. So while reading through Way of Kings again, I devised two theories, and would love some input: Thought number 1: Spren make up shardblades once the surgebinders have said the right words. In Dalinar's visions, the Radiants also have plate, but Szeth has said he can't wear plate or it will effect his powers. I believe, once more words have been said, the Spren will also be able to make up plate, eventually uniting man with Spren. Thought number 2: During an interlude chapter in The Way of Kings, we find out that spren, once measured and written down, cannot change that measurement. What if, someone, during the day of Recreance, the spren that made up the knghts Radiants Plate and Blades were somehow measured, freezing them in their current state. The Knights Radiants could no longer hear or interact with their spren, probably even suffering from touching them, as Kaladin would suffer touching a shardblade, and this is why the abandoned them. Also, now frozen, regular men could use them. If this is true, I am thinking a major plot of the series will be to rescue these spren. To find where they have been recorded, and erase that, freeing all trapped spren in the Plates and Blades, perhaps allowing even more members to join the Knights Radiant.
