So yeah. Maybe someone else has made these connections before. If so tell me.. Now , most order names are intuitive ( with the exception of elsecallers maybe ) , windrunners run on the wind, lightweavers weave light , edge dancers dance can dance on the edge, dust bringers turn stuff to dust etc. Now what does skybreaker mean ? I found someone asking thst question some months back somewhere and have been wondering and came to this conclusion. Now in OB , stormfather mentions to dalinar that the way he uses surges will be different from the way other orders sharing the surge use it . While windrunners use adhesion physically , bondsmiths use it spiritually as well as physically , similarly Tension is used differently by the smiths and the stonewards. But bondsmiths can't pull off the same trick as stonewards I believe. This got me wondering. Are bondsmiths the only exceptions and I thought perhaps we could split surges into two groups. Surges like gravitation , transformation and progression which can be used in only one way by either co-orders. And surges like adhesion , tension which can be used in differing manners by the Co-orders . Perhaps illumination is one such. I mean , truthwatcher wouldn't really be anything new if they too Could sculpt illusions. Renarin mentions shallan has been teyuy to help him master thier shared surge to no avail and yes , maybe that was due to Ren having a corrupted Spren but idt that's the entire answer. Now if the same principles apply then division too should be used differently by skybreakers and ashbringers. Ashbringers as malata has shown can manipulate combustion. Make things burn. But I doubt skybreakers can do the same thing. We have seen them use gravitation to fly same as windrunners, but not use division , even for small uses. I think it's cause they interpret division as not fire but lightning. Makes more sense for flying radiants to have access to cloudspren??? or simply molecules in clouds , rub them together and viola . Lightning. And doesn't lightning look like the sky is being shattered like a pane of glass ? If only for a moment. Hence the name skybreakers. PS: It will be so cool to see szeth be like Thor but with Nightblood instead of Mjilnor . I also wonder if abrasion is used differently by Edgedancers and ashbringers , since nale doesn't consider them to be too graceful.
