  1. IIRC, wasn't Ishar a Bondsmith on Ashyn, before he got the honorblade on Roshar?
  2. I'm of the opinion that Yumis world some how separated the planets, or at least spirits. Either all the ones who did not wish to become separated themselves were sent to painters world, or all the crazy and dangerous ones were sent away, trapped. So my (based on little more than intuition) theory is that, just like Yumi separates the definitely not spren into two halves to make lights or pumps or what have you, the world's themselves or at least spirits were separated, and the nightmares have been trapped since that division.
  3. My theory so far is that the world's or spirits were separated, just like yumi separates them on her world to make machines or light sources. That's why the nightmares are trapped, and want released, and why their worlds are so closely connected.
  4. I'm pretty sure we have WoBs saying you do not in fact need to be broken to bond a spren. This is a prevelant theory in cosmere but not actually necessary. I think its more that the spren are impressed by the broken people still trying to move forward toward whatever ideals (small I) attract them in the first place, but perfectly fine healthy non-broken people could attract t spren as well. I was disappointed as I thought that explained snapping, that they needed to crack the spirit web through extreme circumstances, and perhaps it was a cosmere wide need for investiture. Unfortunately this seems incorrect. I don't espouse your theory but the rest of it is very well thought out, and you may be on to something.
  5. I'm glad someone brought up the surgebinding perks. I don't think the additional effects are related to the two powers that mix. Just like the one order could tell who was guilty and who innocent. IIRC this has no correlation to their powers. It makes me wonder if the effect gets stronger if one becomes a savant.
  6. Spook was the savant IIRC, Vin on the otherhand drew in large amounts of the body of a shard. Spook though, used his power so mch for so long that he got super-tin powers. Perhaps a Stormlight savant would have a similar effect and make what you can do much sronger than otherwise possible. This could in fact be why the heralds are all a bit kooky, for thousands of years they had the honorblades, and when on roshar they likely used their powers non-stop as they had a desolation to fight. then suddenly gave up stormlight altogether.
  7. I've been gone quite a while, but dont we have WoB from a signing that the reason Kal could heal his arm was because he WASNT attacked with a shardblade, but an honorblade. I'm pretty sure i read that somewhere, and here seems likeliest
  8. Actually last year at JordonCon, I asked for a cosmere clue about Sel. He said that we have not seen all the magic on sel.
  9. Much less spiky, but that looks good, a dark ruddy skin with some armor built in, and of course marbling of white or black
  10. I'll do my best. I wonder how often in a Q&A i can ask things without bugging everyone
  11. In reference to the "Kalladin healed" bit, I would like to point out that we have WoB (in the WoB thread) that a clue is hidden in the fact that Shardblade wounds cannot be healed, yet Kal did heal from Szeth's attack. Presumabley due to it being an Honorblade and not a true Shardblade.
  12. Admins, thanks for the move. He has said (as far as I know) that there have not been Listener KR, but that it could be possible. As to mat's thing, I was referencing the amazing luck (for random things). He was always able to win more than he lost, but it became something more than that. It is vaguely mentioned that he won while he had the dagger but pre-healing, but nothing like what happens once he tries to escape Tar Valon onward. Mat has many of the same manifestations of his ta'veren-ness as the other two, but his luck always seemed something above and beyond just mere ta'veren. This extra luck (that does not have balance, it is always in his favor as long as it is random, and still in his favor but less often when less random) seems to occur after his healing, but definitely after his possesion of the dagger
  13. I almost put down The Eye of the World due to the incomprehensible prologue. I cannot say how glad I am I kept at it. For those who coudn't keep going, the books keep getting better 1-6 and at 11-14 get better than the one before again!
  14. Perhaps she should have been targeted over Elohkar's wife. Although she did precipitate an ardent's defection and mass riots. Looks like Dalinar was right again, they should not have moved the focus of the Alethi government to the shatter plains for so long.
  15. I could see Hoid not being able to directly kill mortals, but I'll bet he can put them in situations where they will likely die
