Adonalsium 2.0

"Creation:
Spren are generally the personification of certain ideals and cognitive concepts" (coopremind).

So if humans (or other sentient species) imagined a God out of nothing, with divine characteristics, eventually this Spren would be "created", then you would, eventually have a second Adonalsium...

Or I'm wrong?

I doubt that would quite work. it may be possible for the collective imaginations of the various sapient species on Roshar to create a Nightwatcher or Stormfather level being - maybe even something on the level of a shard, if they can all sort of focus on one thing long enough to pull most of Honor's investiture back together - but there is just not enough investiture in the system for them to create something at Adonalsium's level.

Yeah, spren are formed by thought, but their Investiture is not created out of thin air in the process. It has to be present to then be molded into a being. That's one of the reasons there's spren on Roshar rather than on Scadrial or the likes, since there is so much left-over Investiture on that planet (for a lot of different reasons, not all of them fully explained yet). This Investiture becomes sentient over time (which naturally happens when you leave Investiture lying around) and reacts to human thought by being shaped into concepts (the storm, honor, pain, glory etc.).

Adonalsium was huge, to get that much Investiture to one place, you'd have to literally get all Shards together, so you'd already have a new Adonalsium anyway.

Thanks.
