Friendshipspren Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Wait so logicspren are basically analogues to semiconductors right ? I think that's what the epithet is implying. Yo yo. The clothing , they were just laundered. And he's ripping them apart. Wow . That galls me for some reason Woah , omg , so they are copies. Perfect copies. Not the initial souls. Huh like Whole Brain Emulations , theoretical copies of brains run on computers which have the same exact personalities and memories as the human being emulated , which can hypothetically let humans achieve immortality and super intelligence and a few other things. Woah . He's using real world sci fi and science analogues for Magic. My respect for Sanderson as an author has increased so much. So Zahel seems to be a living case of the ' Ship of Theseus ' paradox . I would say that a being is a pattern of information set in neurons in real life or in Investiture in the cosmere , so Zahel is really the real Vasher . I mean if u make a perfect copy it's no longer a copy but rather another original. Also I know I'm no one compared to most everyone, let alone Brandon Sanderson himself. But I can't help feeling proud that he actually used a real swear word. *Wipes tear of joy Edited October 13, 2020 by PrinceGenocide A little polishing 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what the epithet is implying. It appears so... Also: “Find something strong to drink,” Zahel said. “It can be better than Stormlight. Both will get you killed, but at least alcohol does it slowly.” Maybe Zahel becomes the new wit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innovation Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) So, Awakening has more than 4 types? Or maybe the types have simply been changed? Type 1 is a Returned, but Zahel seems to believe that type 1 are Spren instead. Type 2 is lifeless, and Zahel has branded that as all beings that are “back from the dead.” looks like lifeless are in the same category as Retuned now. logicspren seem to work as warning or informing lights lights, based on certain stimuli. Huh. Edited October 13, 2020 by Innovation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahel didn't know what spren were when he made that system. Type one is actually a better description of spren then returned. I personally think he should have just called spen zeroth type entities. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathrangking Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 He tossed his scarf at Kaladin’s feet. Though it must have been a different scarf, for the one he’d started with had been bright red, and this one was dull grey. Very observant Kal. Ask the right questions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not straight ones.” “That’s because Wit is an cremhole,” Zahel said. Ahahahahahah! Someone had to say it. Moar Zahel! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 “No,” Zahel said. “I don’t think there’s anyone else quite like Hoid. I knew him by the name Dust when I was younger. I think he must have a thousand different names among a thousand different peoples.” Dont we know it.

I suppose that makes sense. 7 minutes ago, Karger said: When did Zahel! learn about Endowment though? He did not know her in Warbreaker Zahel probably picked it up on his travels through Shadesmar. The people in the caravan with him probably informed him He might have known before Warbreaker, and simply decided not to inform Vivenna at that time. He was a Worldhopper after all, and probably knew about some Shards, at least. 6 minutes ago, Experience said: Another Hoid name!

So, new information on how the Heralds and the oathpact works. I guess they do truly die, and then their investiture or intent does something to bring them back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Agent34 Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Not to derail the current excitement over everyone's favourite grumpy ardent but humans are growing closer to the Rhythms. Rlain says some are close to knowing/hearing the pure tones and Kaladin almost senses something when Rlain attunes. This is pretty big. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now when they die, the Oathpact intercepts the Cognitive Shadow before it disappears and keeps them "alive" Edited October 13, 2020 by Inky 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogueshar Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Quote "A long time. A mind-numbingly long time. The place I come from, it didn’t have any of these. It’s too new. Your world might have some hidden deep, but I doubt it. That stone you hold is old. Older than Wit, or your Heralds, or the gods themselves." Is Nalthis a created planet like Scadrial? If so did Endowment create it or did someone else? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
