Lifeless Radiants

[Hoids Imaginary Friend Babsk]

So we found out that part of Urithiru is a Radiant graveyard where presumably dead Radiants would be soulcasted into statues..

And we have a powerful, knowledgeable Awakened in near vicinity who knows how to transfer stormlight into breaths..

And we have at least one Bondsmith who can open a perpendicularity that can provide large amounts of stormlight for a short duration..

Soo...

What's do you think the chances are of Awakened Lifless Radiants.?

And than think...

What are the chances of these guys being kinda "Returned" due to crazy Bomdsmith powers.?

P.s. by "Returned" I mean some spirit realm connection mumbo-jumbo that may or may not be temporary.

Vasher does NOT know how to Awaken with Stormlight, unless that changed in RoW and I didn't notice.

So Vasher would need loads of regular Breath to awaken the Soulcast radiant statues.

additionally to what @Halyo_Alex said the statues are not Radiant anymore. the bond has been severed and everything from the former person was dragged into the Beyond.
its regular stone statures.

Vasher is still holding a lot of breath judging by the fight with Kaladin. I guess a couple hundred and upwards.
he only needs 1 for regular Lifeless. granted, idk how much he'd need for Kalads Phantoms type stuff.
still seems possible to me at least awakening a few.

if the breaths stick he'll likely won't do it.
as I mentioned it should be regular stones now. perfectly shaped like a human. maybe those are easy to awaken.

well the law of biochromatic parallellism is on your side. things resembling living things are easier to awaken than things that don't resemble living things... and these statues would basically be as perfect as you can get for inorganic matter.

But they wouldnt be actual lifeless, there is no organic matter to "revive", so they would just be awakened statues

Perception plays a role, so It could be a lot easier as they where alive at one point, and Vasher knows that.

strongest possible parallelism paired with unorganic material. unless the ninth hightening is a base requirement here too then I can see that working. at least for 1 or a few.

stone can also be based on, well, "organic" material. something that was alive before. like shell limestone. that could possibly still constitute as something far removed from life instead of unorganic.

often it does. not for basic laws of the cosmere. Aluminium works outside of perception too for example.
I am not sure if that can apply here so you may be right of course.
