A string of thoughts, feel free to smash them to bits. I was rereading OB last night and got through the chapter where Kaladin used a surge to split the Highstorm around him to help a group of people to safety. I believe the consensus is that Kaladin used adhesion to create a bubble of high pressure around him. This caused me to think about what would it look like to have all of the Windrunners do this together, maybe a "Windrunner" storm aimed at the highstorm. "Wait a minute someone already did that, the "Stormform Army" made the Everstorm" I think the singing Stormformers at the end of WoR were using adhesion to create high and low pressure areas in the atmosphere to summon the Everstorm. "So how does a Singer in Stormform "throw" lighting?" This is really where I want some help and maybe a WoB on what the limits might be on adhesion to create an area of high pressure. Is it possible to compress enough air into a small volume to convert the air into plasma(lightning) outside of a star?

From the prologue where Gavilar tells Eshonai of their secret ways of trapping spren and how he wants to help her bring back her gods, giving her a sphere of unusually dark light: So what happened to this sphere Gavilar gave Eshonai? That's the million-dollar question, right? Along with the sphere Gavilar gave to Szeth. I'm wondering if Ulim could be the spren trapped in the sphere. Eshonai does take the sphere. Perhaps she hides it or throws it away (or gives it to the Five), but these paths might eventually lead to Venli. Ulim, a spren the Fuzed (Ancient Ones) call the Envoy, did succeed in convincing and helping Venli to bring back stormform and eventually the Everstorm and the Fuzed.

While re-listening to WoR I was wondering if Chapter 32 "the one who hates" is actually referencing Szeth, which seems to be the obvious answer. Could it instead have something to do with Eshonai taking her new form during that same storm? I'm wondering because instead of staying with just Syl and Kaladin, we also get a super quick peek at Pattern also freaking out in Shallan's wagon. Curiously, we don't have any hint that Renarin's spren is bothered or that anything is bothering Renarin (since we don't have any reason to think he has a spren at this point in the story) though maybe it hasn't developed enough to respond? I'd be grateful for a link if this has already been covered, I did a search but am new to these stories and this website.

From the mind that brought you, the Everstorm is a long way off and other preposterous hypotheses comes the newest, wildest speculation yet. For many moons, the Parshendi knew only two forms, Dull and Mating. I propose that the other forms were forgotten on purpose as the Parshendi of old knew that when enough of them entered stormform, a desolation occured. And that Mating was only remembered to ensure the survival of the species. The secret of Stormform has since been rediscovered and consequently, there will be a debate amongst the Parshendi as to whether to adopt it, with Eshonai (as a human lover and a fighter) being the dominant voice against. These debates will be deadlocked over the ~58 odd days that are left (of the 62). Towards the end, T minus 1 or thereabouts, there will either be a major battle over the central plateau where Eshonai will die, or she will murdered at the hands of Sadeas during an attempt at diplomacy. Either way, the shard and plate that she has will be lost, she is their last shardbearer. The surviving Parshendi will unilaterally pass the stormform motion and in the process become voidbringers and/or, summon . . . . . . . The Skajaquada. Or a desolation / Everstorm. Most likely not the Skajaquada.
