I don't think that's how that works. Larkins appear to grow a little after consuming Investiture, so I think it's been used. You could steal the innate Investiture of the bird, but not much else.

Storms! Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 @The One Who Connects I was referring to stealing its ability to absorb Investiture from people. I'm not entirely sure if that's possible or not, but I'm willing to ignore that for the fun of this thread. Side note, Oathbringer spoiler: Spoiler The Larkin only grew when it stole the Voidlight from the Fuzed. Rysn seemed surprised that it grew as well, so I doubt it does that with Stormlight/other types of Investiture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have to grow on stormlight, otherwise it would never grow to be lanceryn sized. It just takes a lot of investiture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands to reason that they should all work. Quote Brandon Sanderson Excellent question, actually! Nightblood, as I've written him now and as I intend to keep him, feeds of the investiture--but isn't really strengthened by it. Meaning, it doesn't matter to him what the food is, it's all just food to him. Questioner He's asking if a larkin is capable of pushing Stormlight into someone as well as drawing it out. Brandon Sanderson Ahhh, that's an excellent question. They actually feed on Investiture. Like some other people and things that you've seen. *laughter* Spoiler All her surprise means is that she hasn't seen her Larkin absorb any Investiture before then(at least, not in any significant quantity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storms! Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) @RShara and @The One Who Connects I'm not disagreeing with either of you, it's pretty well established that they feed on Stormlight. Spoiler What I was saying was that the only time it instantly became noticeably bigger was when it ate the Voidlight from the Fuzed. Quote I think it would have to grow on stormlight, otherwise it would never grow to be lanceryn sized. It just takes a lot of investiture. Aren't lanceryn supposed to be either extremely rare or thought to be extinct? This would make sense, since there hasn't been much Voidlight around since the False Desolation Edited February 13, 2018 by Storms!

This would make sense, since there hasn't been much Voidlight around since the False Desolation Lanceryn's went nearly extinct from normal hunters during the Scouring of Aimia, which is much more recent than the False Desolation.

Unless I'm misremembering, the only time this Larkin has eaten any investiture(on-screen) is that Voidlight, so we don't have another Investiture to compare it too. Yes, there's the other Larkin, but... it only took a paltry sum from Lift back in WoR(about a donut's worth, IIRC). And Lift thought it looked frail and starved. It's perfectly logical for energy to be devoted to recovery before growth(which may have been why it was being starved, to prevent that growth). What I'm saying is that growth from consuming food is related to the amount of food consumed, and I believe that this one consumed more.

RShara Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 It also consumed the investiture held in the King's Drop, which was huge, so it should have been a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfectly logical for energy to be devoted to recovery before growth(which may have been why it was being starved, to prevent that growth). We see Rysn feed it a chip while she's waiting for the auditor. I could be wrong, but I think it ate a little down in the vault as well. Either way, Rysn is very surprised at the size difference after it eats the Voidlight. That's evidence enough that, at the very least, VLight causes much more growth than SLight. I wish I had the book in front of me to find the quote. By the way, is it possible to move this conversation to a new thread? It's an interesting conversation, but I don't want to ruin a just for fun thread with an off-topic dispute. Especially since we're not on the OB spoiler board Edited February 13, 2018 by Storms!

For example, for Truthwatchers and Edgedancers, who can grow the highest tree in X minutes? (of course, a requirement is that the tree should be able to hold itself without any Surgebinding or anything to keep it in place) How about a blood maker competition?
