I think that a really strong connection between two things changes their identity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HSuperLee he/him Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) It seems that it involves an intermingling of spiritwebs, which means it might be less about Connection and more about Identity. Edit. Before I get told off about how bonds clearly involve Connection or else Ishar wouldn't have been able to steal the Stormfather bond, yes, I agree that Connection is very important to bonds. I'm just pointing out that at least a significant part of them likely has to do with changing or "resonating" Identity.

I found this quote, Quote “The more Dalinar watched the quivering white lines, the more details he could pick out. Some were brighter than others, for example. He reached out and tried to touch one, but his fingers went through it. Spren have these too, the Stormfather said. And the bond that makes Radiants is similar, but far stronger. I don’t think these little ones are particularly useful.” Rhythm of War, pages 768 and 769. So, it sounds like a Bond really is just a really strong Connection between two beings. I don’t think that manipulating Identity is necessary for a Bond if this is the case.

Don't worry about it at all. If I was afraid of discussion or being wrong I wouldn't be on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
