Mushroom Catalog Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 So I was rereading WoR and theres a single line qoute that suprised me. On page 587 it says something about the white fog appearing as little vines in the air. The shardblade being summoned is Mayalaran, who is, I think, a confirmed cultivationspren- the plant spren, sort of? Anyway, is this something all blades do when summoned? Is it unique to Adolin? Is it because Maya is a deadeye? Something else? Any ideas? It's probably not significant, but knowing Brandon... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truthless of Shinovar Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Ooh, I like this, it's a cool theory! I've got absolutely no idea if there are any other indicators, but I hope it's true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluzulu Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I think so far it has only been specifically mentioned in connection with Adolin, and I'm personally inclined to believe that it's due to his unique relationship with Maya. Also, as a side note, all Shardblades are deadeyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant do living spren like Syl or Pattern show up with their own special fog, or only the traditional blades But now that I think about, do living spren even show up as fog? Or do they just appear fully all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm pretty sure that's the only time the mist a Shardblade appears from is described in any detail. Brandon was dropping hints even then. I do think living Blades appear from mist as well, the mist is a result of Investiture "condensing" into a physical form.

I believe it does so again. I also think Pattern does something similar when summoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderis Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 @Mushroom Catalog that description is actually how we got Confirmation that Maya was a Cultivationspren... Before we knew her name or saw her. Quote Kaladin al'Thor I noticed my last time reading Words of Radiance that there were several times-- vines that were on Adolin's shardblade as he summoned it. So I was wondering if maybe the Radiant who used it had was an Edgedancer? Brandon Sanderson You are right. Kaladin al'Thor You mentioned before that it would be possible to revive a dead shard[blade], but it would be very difficult-- Brandon Sanderson Very difficult. Kaladin al'Thor Like I think what you said is that it would have to be the same person that broke the bond? Brandon Sanderson That would be the-- Yeah. Kaladin al'Thor So if it was an Edgedancer's blade if he made those same oaths could potentially he… Brandon Sanderson That would most likely not be enough. Something else would have to happen. Good guess though. Firefight release party (Jan. 5, 2015) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
