Hakedohn Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Anyone know if there really are some power or abilities granted to the fish is the purelake. For example, the Kolgril are said to be very lucky fish that can cure aching joints for a month after consuming one. It is also claimed that an individual can predict when friends will visit after eating one by reading the shape of the clouds. One kolgril could provide two weeks worth of soup. I think they have another form of Cultivation's investiture. Any WOB that says I am wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixth of the Dusk spoilers Spoiler I suspect they have some abilities and are able to share them somehow, similar to what the Aviar have in SotD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Sanderson Haven't you always wanted magic fish? Footnote: Brandon has since confirmed that the "magic fish" of the Purelake do form symbiotic bonds with spren.

Sixth of the Dusk spoilers Reveal hidden contents I suspect they have some abilities and are able to share them somehow, similar to what the Aviar have in SotD. Yup, found this WoB: Quote Kogiopsis Are there any parallels between the fish in the Purelake and the Aviar in Sixth of the Dusk? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Oathbringer release party (Nov. 13, 2017) Quote I think they have another form of Cultivation's investiture. Any WOB that says I am wrong? Lindel (paraphrased) Crem and the Purelake on Roshar. Do they have any connection to Cultivation? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Both existed on the planet before Cultivation arrived. Lindel (paraphrased) But both are influenced by her now? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Yes, she influences both. Teen Author Boot Camp (April 11, 2015) Quote WeiryWriter Are the "magic fish" of the Purelake the result of symbiotic bonds with spren? Brandon Sanderson Yes they are. Many creatures on Roshar have such interactions with spren. General Signed Books 2013 (Dec. 18, 2013) I wonder though which ability of the fish that @Hakedohn mentioned is fictitious and which one is real, assuming that only one of them is real. I think both might be real Cultivation is supposed to have better futuresight, and "the clouds" might be referring to something other than normal clouds: the Highstorms or a peek into the Spiritual. There's also the mention of the fish being lucky. Sounds like Fortune. Curing aching joints also sounds easy enough for Investiture to do. But only joints? Only for a month? There is the fact that this seems to be the more common usage among the Purelakers: but this could go either way, it could be an often-practiced superstition with resulting placebo effect or the fish might simply be medicinal.
