lDanielHolm he/him Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Schrödinger'sSpren: Only appear when you don't look at them. ... that sounds way too much like a weeping angel. That, or a grue. Oh, and shouldn't that be Zeno-spren? 1
dj26792 he/him Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Fight spren, appear in large numbers whenever 2 young people are considering a fight, they repeatedly chant 'fight fight fight...' until the fight begins and then cheer loudly whenever either combatant lands a decent punch and make sympathetic noises whenever one gets really really hit and appears to be in a lot of pain. 2
Voidus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I was looking over some of my old posts and found this thread again. Which means... time for two year old topic Necroing!Alley-spren: Appear whenever someone has been Hemalurgically spiked.
CHOUTAGOD he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Lustspren.... enough said... really I'm not going into details. 1
Shlee Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Lustspren.... enough said... really I'm not going into details. There's an in-book description of passion spren, which amusingly enough are described as "tiny flakes of crystalline snow"..... I'm going to assume there was an inspiration there somewhere..... Sleepspren - shaped like sheep of course, not that anyone on Roshar would recognize them Frustration spren - These randomly bang themselves against hard objects 2
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Hoispren: appear in the general vicinity of Hoid. Witspren: Appear whenever someone is humiliated by Wit. Reluctancespren Sarcasmspren Fartspren: these ones are malicious Regretspren
natc Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Being serious for a second. What general thing or concept would a Hoidspren be attracted to that would make them only follow Hoid? Extreme wittiness? Insults? Extremely large amounts of investiture from numerous shards? Something only Yolen humans have?

Voidus Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Bronyspren-Only appear in the presence of bronies. 1
Unhinged he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Paranoidspren-Can only be seen if you are being paranoid, and only seen in your peripheral vision ^^ Building off this, Properly Paranoidspren these only appear if everyone really is out to get you. 1
Atkion he/him Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 gravityspren: only appear when a windrunner lashes something in a given direction. appear as blue arrows pointing the direction the opject was just lashed
natc Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 gravityspren: only appear when a windrunner lashes something in a given direction. appear as blue arrows pointing the direction the opject was just lashed I think we already have arrow shaped, potentially gravity-related spren bonded to skyeels and chasmfiends.
Darkness he/him Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hoid already is a spren. A Hoidspren that appears whenever something interesting is happening in the Cosmere. 2
Darkness he/him Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I think we already have arrow shaped, potentially gravity-related spren bonded to skyeels and chasmfiends. Rock and Kaladin saw little spren when he was practising a full lashing of a rock to the chasm wall. WoR p. 152, "Spren," Rock said, pointing. "They pull the stone against the wall."... Kaladin walked over and joined them. He could make out the tiny purple spren if he looked closely. "They're there, Sig," Kaladin said. Of course, this leads to a similar question as for any spren. Do the spren hold the rock to the wall, or are they just attracted to the change in gravity? I would guess the latter. Same as flamespren and windspren are attracted to their forces. As a concrete example, when Kaladin learns how to 'fall' through the air, he ends up attracting a bunch of windspren. Probably the windspren aren't actually causing the air currents that buoy him up. Rather, they are attracted to the breezes he is causing with his passage. Anyway, I don't get why people say the skyeel/chasmfiend spren are gravityspren. I've seen this going around a bunch. The arrow shaped spren just don't seem the same as the tiny purple spren discussed in the WoR passage. Could someone elaborate on this for me?
natc Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Full lashing doesn't utilize gravity at all (talk about misnomers), so that's not a very good example . . . Full lashing is Adhesion, not Gravitation. Skybreakers can't full lash, but can still basic and reverse lash on top of what powers Division brings. Bondsmiths can full lash and lack gravity powers entirely in exchange for Tension manipulation. Whatever that does. So the purple spren are likely attracted the vacuum pressure generated by full lashed contact surfaces and not any sort of gravity shift. 1
hoser he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Rock and Kaladin saw little spren ... Anyway, I don't get why people say the skyeel/chasmfiend spren are gravityspren. I've seen this going around a bunch. The arrow shaped spren just don't seem the same as the tiny purple spren discussed in the WoR passage. Could someone elaborate on this for me? I hope this addresses the question. I believe that there is WoB that the Greatshells could not function with their enormous mass unless spren were reducing the mass somehow. Also, Rysn is told that the Reshi Islandspren reduced her speed of falling, possibly saving her life. I think that also correlates with her experience. So that may be why people believe that the Greatshellspren affect gravity. I have nothing to add to what natc said above about the other spren. 2
Lindel he/him Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Here's the WoB: AhoyMatey ()Do all greatshells have spren? Brandon Sanderson ()In order to survive with the science that I built, the greatshells almost all require some sort of spren to keep them from collapsing. (I suspect greatshells in the water may not require them.) (link)
Darkness he/him Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Awesome responses to all my deepest desires haha seriously though, thanks everyone! That makes much more sense now.
