About choosing a champion for SA5:

This is my first post, and I apologize for its tongue in cheek nature. Here goes: I thought it was cool that Syl took the form of a spear during Kaladin's fight with Szeth. But as the fight went on, I felt like the shardblade-can-take-whatever-form-you-want ability seemed like a little too much. It reminded me of She-ra. My kids like watching the He-man and She-ra cartoons. So in episode 18 of the first season of She-ra, she goes into space and has her sword of protection turn into a space helmet so she can breath. Later while saving the unconscious villain Hordack's life, She-ra re-enters the atmosphere by having her sword turn into a heat shield (thus avoiding a severe burn to her bottom -- which made me laugh quite a bit). I'm just wondering if Brandon Sanderson got his shardblade shape changing ideas from She-ra, and if so, will we be seeing similar outer space adventures from the knights radiant in future books. Could a spren turn into two blades for one trained in 2-bladed combat or a sword and a shield?
