Elsecaller_17.5 Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) In Dalinars midnight essence vision the female shardbearer tells him that if he calls out to her "[she] will hear him." The context definitely sounds like a surge since since she's about to charge into combat. She can be identified as a stoneward by her armor glow and I suspect this is an odd use of Physical Connection through the surge of cohesion. It fits very nicely to their theme of "I will be there when I am needed" to be able to hear cries for help. No grand theory, just some fun dots I connected on a reread.

Honorless Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hmm... Spiritual Tension strikes again? Could also be that Cohesion covers particle vibration to some degree, we know very little about the Surge of Strong Axial Interconnection. Or maybe I have it backwards? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Artemos Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 One possibility is that she can sense/hear their sounds travelling through the ground. It would make sense to me if Tension and Cohesion gave some powers related to sensing compression waves propagating through a physical medium (sound through the stone). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as likely I do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: after a quick coppermind search Tension definitely makes more sense. I can see it working through P, C, or S Connection. 17 minutes ago, Artemos said: One possibility is that she can sense/hear their sounds travelling through the ground.

That could be it, but I think it has to be a Connection specifically to Dalinar. If she just "heard" everything she'd need access to Fortune to process the information.

Maybe there's a slight bit of Connection to everyone around, but she can zero in on certain individuals or groups and go more in-depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Or maybe they can just yell really loudly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoWibble Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I've always read that as her spren was sticking around and it would hear and relay that to her. Maybe she was more connected to her spren and could 'hear' it from far away? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthexile Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Maybe it's a "spell" like a lightweaver illusion, where you can tie an effect to someone that allows you to remain aware of them at a distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction: I used to always read that that way. Maybe it has something to do with her Plate's spren. She does dismiss the helm, so maybe that spren is hanging around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
