Jondesu Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Quote They came from another world, using powers that we have been forbidden to touch. Dangerous powers, of spren and Surges. They destroyed their lands and have come to us begging. —From the Eila Stele Emphasis mine. I’m rereading Oathbringer, or really just parts of it, but this stood out to me. Who told the singers they couldn’t use the Surges? Honor? Cultivation? Odium appears to have come with the humans. And wouldn’t have wanted them to avoid that anyways. Just a curiosity more than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a curiosity more than anything. Possibly Adonalsium himself Quote Pod You’ve said that you would call Surgebinding, Voidbinding, and fabrials the three magics on Roshar. Would it be more accurate to say that Surgebinding followed and emulated fabrials and/orthe possibility of fabrials or vice versa? Brandon Sanderson Vice versa. Fabrials are... generally, Surgebinders first, fabrials second. Pod So you couldn’t have done fabrials when it was just Adonalsium. Brandon Sanderson Oh, before the [Shattering]? *deep in thought mmming* Pod Would the spren have still been able to do Surges then? Brandon Sanderson I would say... no. No, Adonalsium probably would not have let that happen. You could theoretically do it, if Adonalsium allowed it. Pod He had boundaries against it. Brandon Sanderson Yes. So, I would say no.

The singers predate the Shards, we’re pretty sure, so that makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
