  1. Chapter 15 The Light and the Music They could be leaking light into other gems like a stormlight powered on/off pendulum in the clock so that it spins at a certain rate, like the pendulums in a clock regulates how fast a spring unwinds or a weight drops.
  2. I want to thank Moogle for sparking the idea of this post. He reminds us here that fabrials are Stormlight-infused gemstones containing (imprisoning) certain spren. He and Seloun have an interesting discussion about what such fabrials can do. Here is the idea: The spren inside fabrials have as much investiture as Radiant spren. Otherwise, they could not direct power like Radiant spren do. (Anecdotally this is true: the foodmakers and builders both seem to wield powers much like Lift and what I imagine Stonewards can do.) When you look at what fabrials do, in each case they are identical to the Surges. Seloun asks “What is the spren for lack of pain?” The answer is, the one that began its bond with Ym. That’s what that spren did for the boy with the sore foot. Power needs a mind to direct it. That means the device to which the gemstone is attached somehow communicates to the spren how it wants the power to be used. The spren is bonded to the fabrial user through the device, doing what the user asks of it. Just like those Radiant spren do who are bonded to KR. The device substitutes for the Nahel bond. My topic question, then, is what happens to the spren when the gemstone breaks? The answer must be that the spren fly free. These spren are bits of cognitive investiture that have been bonded, and now their bond, however tenuous, has been broken. Do they become “dead” like the Recreance spren? I speculate they are just like Radiant spren. For some period of time, they will float on a consciousness consisting of mere sentience. (Like Syl when she was a windspren.) But like Syl, they will search for a mind that can direct their power. These spren ARE Radiant Spren and form the pool available to bond with new Knights Radiant! That’s what I think will happen to them, anyway…
