Here it is, my (probably) last theory before RoW comes out. A lot of speculation has gone into what benefits the fifth ideal will give Radiants, as it has been confirmed not to grant the obvious answer, perfect stormlight efficiency: Since the lesser spren theory for Shardplate was pretty much confirmed in the Syl interlude, here is my theory about how that will work exactly. Whenever Kaladin considers the fourth ideal, or is fulfilling his ideals particularly well, he gathers windspren. Shallan gathers creationspren, and Dalinar gathers gloryspren (Although he doesn't get plate). My theory is this: when a Radiant swears the fourth ideal, they reach the bare minimum connection to their spren, which the gives them just enough, or even just below enough, connection to their secondary spren to summon Shardplate. In order to get the correct level of connection, they need to be embodying their ideals particularly strongly. Upon swearing the fifth ideal, the Radiant will gain a connection to their spren that is strong enough to allow them to summon Plate at any time.
