+Invocation Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hoid is going to prank Bavadin and/or Frost with Soulcast instant noodles. That's the only reason he wanted to bond that Cryptic so badly. He just wants his rusting noodles! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tglassy Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Oh. I thought he'd want it so he had an infinite supply of whatever metal he wanted to use with Allomancy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scion of the Mists Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Obviously you're joking, but Hoid actually specifically wanted full access to Lightweaving, not Soulcasting (which I'm sure he's happy to have to). Quote Stormlightning [PENDING REVIEW] If Hoid could have picked to join any order of the Knights Radiant, regardless of the Oaths he had to swear, just the powers, would he have picked Lightweaver? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] He would have. Stormlightning [PENDING REVIEW] Tell me more! Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Lightweaving matches him very well, he's quite familiar with it and experienced with it. He's very good at using it and he likes it. It's the fulfillment of a long, long quest of his to finally get full access to Lightweaving. Stormlightning [PENDING REVIEW] Even though he had some sort of Lightweaving? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] He did have some sort of, yes. He's a very very happy Hoid. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he could have desired to become a Truthwatcher. So why a Cryptic? Aren't Cryptics rarer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonding any other type of spren would require him to swear oaths and keep them, Cryptics only require 'truth' and are thus a lot less restrictive, especially when you have thousands of years worth of experience to draw on and you're already very familiar with the underlying principles. Plus, I suspect Hoid would get a lot more out of Transformation than he would Progression and we don't even know if a Truthwatcher can do the full range of things that Shallan or another Lightweaver can.
