I get that Breaking Oaths is a whole thing, and for lightweavers, Breaking Oaths is just locking parts of your life away. Its just pretending for those Truths to have not been spoken.

That raises the question: What if Lightweavers change.

Lets say for a moment that The Blackthorn is a Lightweaver.

Now, when he became a better person, did he break his Oaths?

Did he violate his Truths?

What if you just, Change.

What then?

People change. Doesn't seem fair to kill a spren over that.

I believe that Change is one of the fundamental foundations of radiance. (It is a Dawnshard after all.) Additionally, the basis for becoming a Radiant is deciding to take the next step and become a new man. So for a Lightweaver, I don't think that changing would break an oath.

That makes sense! Thank you!

I'm pretty sure part of the purpose of confronting their truths is because Lightweavers are supposed to change. If Gaz admits to himself how badly he treated the bridgemen (which in Wind and Truth is the truth he's not ready for yet), it's not so he can keep treating people that badly. It's so he can grow and do better, and not treat people that badly again.

That is a good point 👏
