Frustration Posted December 15, 2025 Posted December 15, 2025 Well I'm quite late to this, but I wrote up some of my thoughts about Wind and truth as I was reading, and I thought reviewing them here would be fun. In this my original thoughts will be in black, any new commentary of mine will be in red. Predictions: Syl Dies Either Kaladin or Szeth is the Honor side Champion Either Moash or El is Odium's Champion Fifth windrunner ideal is the surgeons oath but slightly modified. On the Cover Dalinar Is surrounded by the ten polestones, that has to be important Ba-Ado-Mishram is in Ral-Elorim Well, that's a whole lot of nothing right there. I will say that in the thread where I hypothesized BAM being in Ral-Elorim I also included her being in the CR, so I give myself half points there, just to be safe. Prologue: What! Vasher is helping Gavilar! This does put a nail in the Navani discovered anti-light argument, but it opens up so many more questions. What else does Vasher know? Chapter 1 Page 26: lashings last minutes at best, but in Urithiru it lasts over ten hours Page 27: What is that voice talking to Kaladin on the winds? He looks at Syl implying it isn't the Stormfather as Kaladin would recognize his voice. Indeed it would seem to be a feminine voice. I suspect Cultivation is up to her old tricks, but it interests me that she could speak on the Winds. Perhaps Ishar? The blurb on the back implies he needs Kaladin. Surprisingly deep on that, yet completely wrong all at once. Page 30 some bond remains between Shallan and Testament, interesting. Chapter 2 Page 31 Radiants can use Towerlight, and it doesn't push them to action and is constantly replenished. Page 32 The Wind appears to be able to hear Kaladin's thoughts. This could be another visions thing, where the responses appear to be vague answers. I believe Cultivation may have some powers Similar to Preservation however. Page 32 voice commands for water and gestures for temperature. Urithiru may very well be the most advanced city in the cosmere, Elantris alone could compare. Page 36 The Wind can hear Kaladin whisper, there Is a strong Connection here, and it does appear to be related to Ishar of all things. Chapter 3 Page 38, Kaladin appears to be writing, or at the very least dictating the epigraphs, The Wind itself speaks to Kaladin, perhaps like the Stone speaks to Venli. That has ENORMOUS implications. I already thought that Radiants were obnoxiously OP I'd be interested to see if any remnant of Night remained, or if it's only the Nightwatcher at this point A Heliodor was used to imprison BAM, interesting, that's the Bondsmith stone. Page 42 BLAST BAM isn't in Ral Elroim, alright well at least I'll give myself the consolation that she's in another realm Chapter 4 Page 44 Interesting, the storm and Wind appear separate, what does it mean? Page 46 Capacity? Flutes? That implies some level of investiture in the one Kaladin has. Okay, small moment to talk about the wind, in Oathbringer It talks about Wind Stone and Spren, is it just that? If Windrunners can talk to the wind and Willshapers and probably Stonewards can talk to stone: can skybreakers talk to the wind? Can Edgedancers talk to plants? Can Dustbringers talk to fire? What is this? Well no, it appears that Wind has a voice of its own and can talk to anyone if it has the power too. Or well, it did. Page 47, hold on Wandersail was made to one of the rhythms of Roshar? And it predates Honor and Cultivation, while also guiding men across Shadesmar to reach Roshar? Page 49 Roshar is listening? Is she the odd woman at back of the book? Is there a spren to all of Roshar? Interesting notes for a future theory. Chapter 5 Page 53, okay that epigraph is not from Kaladin, unless he's changed a lot. Possibly multiple authors? Page 58 Lightweavers can use Fortune. Chapter 6 Page 60 What does it mean the winds and heralds have vanished, not died but vanished? Page 63 Humans can't use towerlight unless in Urithiru, and Windrunners can mess with pressure. Chapter 7 Page 74 Roshar has compasses that show the way in Shadesmar Or well, towards Urithiru at least, though that doesn't appear to be all that noteworthy anymore. Page 76 Brandon doesn't put random rocks in for nothing. Is this a Tien thing, or is the rock more important The fact that the rock is almost never brought up again has forced me to eat my words. Chapter 8 Radiants can breathe in lashings Chapter 9 Page 79 okay not Kaladin then, so who wrote the book? Wind and Truth in world Page 85 Lightweavers can stab people with illusions Chapter 11 Page 92 Substantiation was forbidden, interesting more limits on powers Here's my question now: Who forbade it, and how was it such a problem it got a name? It apparently isn't all that hard as Shallan got it first try, but still. Page 92 Interesting Shallan hears a voice in her mind from Adolin Another brief pause to talk about Rhyshadium. This pretty much confirms my theory that the Fifth ideal would give Radiants Rhysadium, and it was cool that Adolin and Sureblood got to reunite. It looks like Rhysadium bonded to Radiants can fly without lashings which is super useful. Honestly, how on earth a Fifth ideal radiant is supposed to die is beyond me. Well we saw two knights swear the fifth ideal, but neither of them had a Rhysadium appear next to them. I suppose it doesn't rule the possibility out, but that's a downer. Chapter 12 I feel like Brandon is almost overforeshadowing Kaladin's death, I almost don't buy it. And I was right. Chapter 13 Okay Lightweaver armor likes to break things, good to note Oathgate spren choosing to be corrupted, very interesting, and very scary at the same time. Kaladin is ascending, I have decided. He has to leave in some way, but it's overtuned to be death. And I was wrong, but also kind of right. Chapter 14 Page 134 Wit can push on fabrials. He is Lerasium mistborn, but still Page 138 Radiants lose Towerlight almost instantly Gemstones lose Towerlight faster than Stormlight The Siblings Bondsmith doesn't need to sleep Chapter 15 Page 148 “At least one Thunderclast If not both” so are there only two? That doesn't seem right, those who participated in the desolation seemed to expect more. Perhaps because Sigil has only seen two? Chapter 16 Page 151 Windrunners developing Morse code Page 154 Lightweavers cannot give mobile armor to others Chapter 19 Skybreakers cannot make themselves audible to others in flight, cannot manipulate pressure Chapter 20 Page 189 bondsmithings can last a few weeks Chapter 21 Interjection to talk about the Azamir assault, why does no one suggest just disabling the Azish Oathgate? Remove the gem housings and stormlight on the physical realm side or something along those lines? Radiants can lock the gates as has been shown, though that may not work on PR/CR travels. That would just leave Odium's army stuck in the Cognitive Realm weeks away from anything important. And I still do not have a satisfactory explanation for this. Chapter 23 Pages 226-227 Spren can be trained, and grow Chapter 25 239 Crossbows are ineffective against Shardplate Chapter 28 Page 256 Lightweaver plate can applify sound Page 258 at least one enlightened order can enter CR That would be Elsecallers, though I wonder if that has to do with the enlightenment process, as Jasnah has a lot more difficulty with it. Chapter 29 Page 263 higher oath levels heal faster, hold stormlight Longer, are more efficient etc Page 269 The Sibling can feel germs Okay this is actually kind of crazy the amount of sensitivity that the Sibling has is unreal. Page 295 all spren can hide inside their radiants That feels wrong to me somehow, but I guess it works. IInterludes Pages 320-321 interesting, El is very important here. What is an Elsegate? And what does Dai-Gonarthis have to do with one? And why does Odium have to pay her? Very interesting. I'm also super happy we finally get to see more of the Unmade and Thunderclasts I'm still wondering what on earth Odium has to do to pay Dai-Gonarthis, and why Rayse didn't want to do it. Additionally what does Dai-Gonarthis do when not being supported by Odium that way? If she did nothing else I see no reason that Rayse wouldn't have Unmade her again. I'm guessing that Virtuosity is the other Shard Odium can't see real well Chapter 41 What the crap is that epigraph? This one Spoiler "We must travel to the Well of Control, within the shroud of the fragments of the dead moon." I'll probably talk more about it later. My question is: who is this, and how did they know about it, especially considering that it's been buried under tons of rock for years. Page 386 Szeth instantly burnt through stone. Epic chapter in all What the crap is going on with the Shamans? Chapter 43 Portals, not oathgate type travel. Chapter 45 Page 438 Division can invisible disintegrate stone Wow, excellent description of division making such tiny breaks in stone that it still appears solid, past Frustration. You have such a way with words. Chapter 53 Page 501 you can Elsegate others to Shadesmar Page 503 honorblades can appear in the CR Page 504 Elsegates are hard to master Chapter 60 Okay there's an old fourth moon, super cool. Also definitely a Dawnshard down there, interesting how both the Lyceren and the Chadmfiends seem drawn to them. Well, not quite, but a cool theory. Chapter 62 Pages 607-608 Numuls have Amathist gemhearts Chapter 63 Page 620 thunderclasts 30 feet tall I feel the one in Oathbringer had to have been much taller. Also what are thunderclasts even? Page 621 Focused ones can crush heads That scene is still insane to me. Adolin running through the middle of enemy fortifications is one of the best examples I can imagine of the military superiority of Rosharan magic Chapter 64 Page 633 well of souls on Braize? What? I'm still unsure if this is a perpendicularity or just that strange metal. It seems to share a name with the Well of Control and the Well of Ascension, so what is it? Chapter 65 Page 645 Taln tried to kill Cultivation?! This is still one of the oddest reveals of WaT to me. I have no idea what to do with it. Also the fact that Taln wasn't just the underdog pick, but some guy they added just for numerical thematics feels wrong to me. Chapter 66 Epigraph is another hint that Hoid seeks to raise the dead Interludes Interesting elsegate from Cusichessh, but what the crap? Odium destroyed his own city!!!!! Or not Chapter 80 Page 793 binoculars That autolocate living things, super rare, super powerful. Page 798 singer feet resistant to caltrops Singers just being better than humans at everything, because why not? Chapter 82 Page 818 thunderclasts have difficulty appearing in worked or covered stone Illustration at the end of chapter 83 could imply only three Thunderclasts And yet it names them, leaving it open for more. Brandon you frustrating man. Interludes Page 878 eat that steelrunners, Edgedancer high friction snaps your legs, eat it. My Lift fanboying was coming out a little strong right there. Chapter 90 Page 901 Division not effective at a distance unless the air is filled with wood dust or flammable substances Page 906 in a year of fighting the Coalition lost less than 60 radiants including squires Chapter 100 Page 980 a metal that attracts the souls of Shards?! What the crap IS Braize? Chapter 109 Page 1027 invisible windrunner plate Page 1027 Living plate is stronger Chapter 115 1062 Reason is our final Shard, and apparently they disappeared or at least their vessel did An interesting name, but what happened to them? Chapter 119 Ishar is the one at the bottom of Shinovar being weird, no wonder I couldn't put an unmade to it. Chapter 120 Page 1098 okay what is that fourth moon, there's something crazy there. Chapter 121 I think we've been misthinking perpendicularities, they appear to not just be ways to travel between realms, but also wellpoints of tremendous power. Perhaps the well of ascension is more typical than I had thought. It's interesting to note that the perpendicularity is called the Well of Control. Interesting that Control is what both Ishar and BAM did with that power. I'm interested to see how Brandon develops perpendicularities Chapter 129 Page 1188 you cannot summon a shardblade from the CR in a room lined with aluminum, still need to see of it can be done with a spren in the PR Chapter 131 No, don't tell me it's actually this. I worried when Gavilnor started getting so much attention. There's no way Brandon actually went with Child Champion. At least Gavilnor is an adult now, but come on, that's such a disappointment. This had better be good. I still don't like this, but alright. Chapter 133 Page 1223 hold the phone did Szeth just bypass the fourth ideal? Yes, yes he did. Chapter 136 Page 1240 Dustbringer armor warns when someone is behind you Page 1241 Spren can wear shardplate? That might actually be one of the most broken things I've ever seen. Chapter 140 The WIND accepted Kaladin's Oath!!!!! What! That's so AWESOME! What else can it do? Chapter 141 Page 1273 even Nohadon admits Rosharan Military Power is unmatched Chapter 143 Page 1281 okay, Nightblood can control itself now, cool. Oh, wait. Binding Mishram did so much bad to the world. What happens when it's the Stormfather? … Dalinar you sly old dog. Good show. That has to be one of the biggest brain moves I've ever seen in a book. Chapter 146 Exist, now that's a Dawnshard name I was not expecting Chapter 147 Hey Szeth gets a wife, good for him. Page 1312 hold it. Rohsar is in a time dilation bubble? Months to hours! Interesting, also interesting to note that Hoid Can leave bits of himself around to regenerate from. So by the time Adolin is having his dinner over a month has passed for them. By the calculation that Ulaam gave that would mean almost 280 years to the outside. That can't be right. Which is why Brandon latter revealed that the time dilation is weakening Chapter 147 Page 1319 spren and radiants can leave Roshar So In all I think that was a very good read, and I'm impressed about how many of my expectations were subverted, and at the same time how well it built towards the ending. I'll make two other threads here soon, do't know which one first, but you'll see them soon enough Frustration reads Wind and Truth part 2: An almost masterpiece Prophecy in the Stormlight Archive and LDS theology. 7

Page 42 BLAST BAM isn't in Ral Elroim, alright well at least I'll give myself the consolation that she's in another realm Chapter 4 Page 44 Interesting, the storm and Wind appear separate, what does it mean? Page 46 Capacity? Flutes? That implies some level of investiture in the one Kaladin has. Okay, small moment to talk about the wind, in Oathbringer It talks about Wind Stone and Spren, is it just that? If Windrunners can talk to the wind and Willshapers and probably Stonewards can talk to stone: can skybreakers talk to the wind? Can Edgedancers talk to plants? Can Dustbringers talk to fire? What is this? Well no, it appears that Wind has a voice of its own and can talk to anyone if it has the power too. Or well, it did. Page 47, hold on Wandersail was made to one of the rhythms of Roshar? And it predates Honor and Cultivation, while also guiding men across Shadesmar to reach Roshar? Page 49 Roshar is listening? Is she the odd woman at back of the book? Is there a spren to all of Roshar? Interesting notes for a future theory. Chapter 5 Page 53, okay that epigraph is not from Kaladin, unless he's changed a lot. Possibly multiple authors? Page 58 Lightweavers can use Fortune. Chapter 6 Page 60 What does it mean the winds and heralds have vanished, not died but vanished? Page 63 Humans can't use towerlight unless in Urithiru, and Windrunners can mess with pressure. Chapter 7 Page 74 Roshar has compasses that show the way in Shadesmar Or well, towards Urithiru at least, though that doesn't appear to be all that noteworthy anymore. Page 76 Brandon doesn't put random rocks in for nothing. Is this a Tien thing, or is the rock more important The fact that the rock is almost never brought up again has forced me to eat my words. Chapter 8 Radiants can breathe in lashings Chapter 9 Page 79 okay not Kaladin then, so who wrote the book? Wind and Truth in world Page 85 Lightweavers can stab people with illusions Chapter 11 Page 92 Substantiation was forbidden, interesting more limits on powers Here's my question now: Who forbade it, and how was it such a problem it got a name? It apparently isn't all that hard as Shallan got it first try, but still. Page 92 Interesting Shallan hears a voice in her mind from Adolin Another brief pause to talk about Rhyshadium. This pretty much confirms my theory that the Fifth ideal would give Radiants Rhysadium, and it was cool that Adolin and Sureblood got to reunite. It looks like Rhysadium bonded to Radiants can fly without lashings which is super useful. Honestly, how on earth a Fifth ideal radiant is supposed to die is beyond me. Well we saw two knights swear the fifth ideal, but neither of them had a Rhysadium appear next to them. I suppose it doesn't rule the possibility out, but that's a downer. Chapter 12 I feel like Brandon is almost overforeshadowing Kaladin's death, I almost don't buy it. And I was right. Chapter 13 Okay Lightweaver armor likes to break things, good to note Oathgate spren choosing to be corrupted, very interesting, and very scary at the same time. Kaladin is ascending, I have decided. He has to leave in some way, but it's overtuned to be death. And I was wrong, but also kind of right. Chapter 14 Page 134 Wit can push on fabrials. He is Lerasium mistborn, but still Page 138 Radiants lose Towerlight almost instantly Gemstones lose Towerlight faster than Stormlight The Siblings Bondsmith doesn't need to sleep Chapter 15 Page 148 “At least one Thunderclast If not both” so are there only two? That doesn't seem right, those who participated in the desolation seemed to expect more. Perhaps because Sigil has only seen two? Chapter 16 Page 151 Windrunners developing Morse code Page 154 Lightweavers cannot give mobile armor to others Chapter 19 Skybreakers cannot make themselves audible to others in flight, cannot manipulate pressure Chapter 20 Page 189 bondsmithings can last a few weeks Chapter 21 Interjection to talk about the Azamir assault, why does no one suggest just disabling the Azish Oathgate? Remove the gem housings and stormlight on the physical realm side or something along those lines? Radiants can lock the gates as has been shown, though that may not work on PR/CR travels. That would just leave Odium's army stuck in the Cognitive Realm weeks away from anything important. And I still do not have a satisfactory explanation for this. Chapter 23 Pages 226-227 Spren can be trained, and grow Chapter 25 239 Crossbows are ineffective against Shardplate Chapter 28 Page 256 Lightweaver plate can applify sound Page 258 at least one enlightened order can enter CR That would be Elsecallers, though I wonder if that has to do with the enlightenment process, as Jasnah has a lot more difficulty with it. Chapter 29 Page 263 higher oath levels heal faster, hold stormlight Longer, are more efficient etc Page 269 The Sibling can feel germs Okay this is actually kind of crazy the amount of sensitivity that the Sibling has is unreal. Page 295 all spren can hide inside their radiants That feels wrong to me somehow, but I guess it works. IInterludes Pages 320-321 interesting, El is very important here. What is an Elsegate? And what does Dai-Gonarthis have to do with one? And why does Odium have to pay her? Very interesting. I'm also super happy we finally get to see more of the Unmade and Thunderclasts I'm still wondering what on earth Odium has to do to pay Dai-Gonarthis, and why Rayse didn't want to do it. Additionally what does Dai-Gonarthis do when not being supported by Odium that way? If she did nothing else I see no reason that Rayse wouldn't have Unmade her again. I'm guessing that Virtuosity is the other Shard Odium can't see real well Chapter 41 What the crap is that epigraph? This one Reveal hidden contents "We must travel to the Well of Control, within the shroud of the fragments of the dead moon." I'll probably talk more about it later. My question is: who is this, and how did they know about it, especially considering that it's been buried under tons of rock for years. Page 386 Szeth instantly burnt through stone. Epic chapter in all What the crap is going on with the Shamans? Chapter 43 Portals, not oathgate type travel. Chapter 45 Page 438 Division can invisible disintegrate stone Wow, excellent description of division making such tiny breaks in stone that it still appears solid, past Frustration. You have such a way with words. Chapter 53 Page 501 you can Elsegate others to Shadesmar Page 503 honorblades can appear in the CR Page 504 Elsegates are hard to master Chapter 60 Okay there's an old fourth moon, super cool. Also definitely a Dawnshard down there, interesting how both the Lyceren and the Chadmfiends seem drawn to them. Well, not quite, but a cool theory. Chapter 62 Pages 607-608 Numuls have Amathist gemhearts Chapter 63 Page 620 thunderclasts 30 feet tall I feel the one in Oathbringer had to have been much taller. Also what are thunderclasts even? Page 621 Focused ones can crush heads That scene is still insane to me. Adolin running through the middle of enemy fortifications is one of the best examples I can imagine of the military superiority of Rosharan magic Chapter 64 Page 633 well of souls on Braize? What? I'm still unsure if this is a perpendicularity or just that strange metal. It seems to share a name with the Well of Control and the Well of Ascension, so what is it? Chapter 65 Page 645 Taln tried to kill Cultivation?! This is still one of the oddest reveals of WaT to me. I have no idea what to do with it. Also the fact that Taln wasn't just the underdog pick, but some guy they added just for numerical thematics feels wrong to me. Chapter 66 Epigraph is another hint that Hoid seeks to raise the dead Interludes Interesting elsegate from Cusichessh, but what the crap? Odium destroyed his own city!!!!! Or not Chapter 80 Page 793 binoculars That autolocate living things, super rare, super powerful. Page 798 singer feet resistant to caltrops Singers just being better than humans at everything, because why not? Chapter 82 Page 818 thunderclasts have difficulty appearing in worked or covered stone Illustration at the end of chapter 83 could imply only three Thunderclasts And yet it names them, leaving it open for more. Brandon you frustrating man. Interludes Page 878 eat that steelrunners, Edgedancer high friction snaps your legs, eat it. My Lift fanboying was coming out a little strong right there. Chapter 90 Page 901 Division not effective at a distance unless the air is filled with wood dust or flammable substances Page 906 in a year of fighting the Coalition lost less than 60 radiants including squires Chapter 100 Page 980 a metal that attracts the souls of Shards?! What the crap IS Braize? Chapter 109 Page 1027 invisible windrunner plate Page 1027 Living plate is stronger Chapter 115 1062 Reason is our final Shard, and apparently they disappeared or at least their vessel did An interesting name, but what happened to them? Chapter 119 Ishar is the one at the bottom of Shinovar being weird, no wonder I couldn't put an unmade to it. Chapter 120 Page 1098 okay what is that fourth moon, there's something crazy there. Chapter 121 I think we've been misthinking perpendicularities, they appear to not just be ways to travel between realms, but also wellpoints of tremendous power. Perhaps the well of ascension is more typical than I had thought. It's interesting to note that the perpendicularity is called the Well of Control. Interesting that Control is what both Ishar and BAM did with that power. I'm interested to see how Brandon develops perpendicularities Chapter 129 Page 1188 you cannot summon a shardblade from the CR in a room lined with aluminum, still need to see of it can be done with a spren in the PR Chapter 131 No, don't tell me it's actually this. I worried when Gavilnor started getting so much attention. There's no way Brandon actually went with Child Champion. At least Gavilnor is an adult now, but come on, that's such a disappointment. This had better be good. I still don't like this, but alright. Chapter 133 Page 1223 hold the phone did Szeth just bypass the fourth ideal? Yes, yes he did. Chapter 136 Page 1240 Dustbringer armor warns when someone is behind you Page 1241 Spren can wear shardplate? That might actually be one of the most broken things I've ever seen. Chapter 140 The WIND accepted Kaladin's Oath!!!!! What! That's so AWESOME! What else can it do? Chapter 141 Page 1273 even Nohadon admits Rosharan Military Power is unmatched Chapter 143 Page 1281 okay, Nightblood can control itself now, cool. Oh, wait. Binding Mishram did so much bad to the world. What happens when it's the Stormfather? … Dalinar you sly old dog. Good show. That has to be one of the biggest brain moves I've ever seen in a book. Chapter 146 Exist, now that's a Dawnshard name I was not expecting Chapter 147 Hey Szeth gets a wife, good for him. Page 1312 hold it. Rohsar is in a time dilation bubble? Months to hours! Interesting, also interesting to note that Hoid Can leave bits of himself around to regenerate from. So by the time Adolin is having his dinner over a month has passed for them. By the calculation that Ulaam gave that would mean almost 280 years to the outside. That can't be right. Which is why Brandon latter revealed that the time dilation is weakening Chapter 147 Page 1319 spren and radiants can leave Roshar So In all I think that was a very good read, and I'm impressed about how many of my expectations were subverted, and at the same time how well it built towards the ending. I'll make two other threads here soon, do't know which one first, but you'll see them soon enough Frustration reads Wind and Truth part 2: An almost masterpiece Prophecy in the Stormlight Archive and LDS theology. Frustration! I think you'd have to disable the Oathgate on both sides, wouldn't you? Because it's the sentient spren that send them from the CR, and all they need is stormlight/investiture. Anyone can supply that. With the PR its different because you arent directly interacting with the spren. Also fabrials have non-invested metal housings, it makes sense that Hoid can push on them.
CoderDrag0n8 He/They Posted December 16, 2025 Posted December 16, 2025 1 hour ago, Frustration said: Well I'm quite late to this, but I wrote up some of my thoughts about Wind and truth as I was reading, and I thought reviewing them here would be fun. In this my original thoughts will be in black, any new commentary of mine will be in red. Predictions: Syl Dies Either Kaladin or Szeth is the Honor side Champion Either Moash or El is Odium's Champion Fifth windrunner ideal is the surgeons oath but slightly modified. On the Cover Dalinar Is surrounded by the ten polestones, that has to be important Ba-Ado-Mishram is in Ral-Elorim Well, that's a whole lot of nothing right there. I will say that in the thread where I hypothesized BAM being in Ral-Elorim I also included her being in the CR, so I give myself half points there, just to be safe. Prologue: What! Vasher is helping Gavilar! This does put a nail in the Navani discovered anti-light argument, but it opens up so many more questions. What else does Vasher know? Chapter 1 Page 26: lashings last minutes at best, but in Urithiru it lasts over ten hours Page 27: What is that voice talking to Kaladin on the winds? He looks at Syl implying it isn't the Stormfather as Kaladin would recognize his voice. Indeed it would seem to be a feminine voice. I suspect Cultivation is up to her old tricks, but it interests me that she could speak on the Winds. Perhaps Ishar? The blurb on the back implies he needs Kaladin. Surprisingly deep on that, yet completely wrong all at once. Page 30 some bond remains between Shallan and Testament, interesting. Chapter 2 Page 31 Radiants can use Towerlight, and it doesn't push them to action and is constantly replenished. Page 32 The Wind appears to be able to hear Kaladin's thoughts. This could be another visions thing, where the responses appear to be vague answers. I believe Cultivation may have some powers Similar to Preservation however. Page 32 voice commands for water and gestures for temperature. Urithiru may very well be the most advanced city in the cosmere, Elantris alone could compare. Page 36 The Wind can hear Kaladin whisper, there Is a strong Connection here, and it does appear to be related to Ishar of all things. Chapter 3 Page 38, Kaladin appears to be writing, or at the very least dictating the epigraphs, The Wind itself speaks to Kaladin, perhaps like the Stone speaks to Venli. That has ENORMOUS implications. I already thought that Radiants were obnoxiously OP I'd be interested to see if any remnant of Night remained, or if it's only the Nightwatcher at this point A Heliodor was used to imprison BAM, interesting, that's the Bondsmith stone. Page 42 BLAST BAM isn't in Ral Elroim, alright well at least I'll give myself the consolation that she's in another realm Chapter 4 Page 44 Interesting, the storm and Wind appear separate, what does it mean?
