Kasitor's Tanavast he/him Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 While I'm sure you can form a spren into a wide range of weapons, I'd think you'd limit it somewhat to what performed well ergonomically, as well weapons that were most effective at cutting/piercing and parrying. So blades, polearms, axes and the odd shield seems like they'd be your primary bread and butter, though there's certainly a lot of variation between those categories. The one weapon form that honestly leaves me a bit confused was during the Kaladin/Szeth fight when Syl transformed into a hammer. It doesn't seem like a blunt force form is very conducive for a material that's unusually light (the mundane great hammers that are used with Shardplate are useful *because* of their immense weight). I suppose it's possible that the hammer generates some kind of magical impact on contact, though it doesn't seem like that'd be as effective as simply slashing them with a vorpal blade that can cut through stone. makes sense, definitely would be useful for surprise though, (I have to parry a sword, oh wait, where did that hammer come from?) how about a mace?
Numuhuku he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 makes sense, definitely would be useful for surprise though, (I have to parry a sword, oh wait, where did that hammer come from?) how about a mace? Well seems like you could manage that with almost any hand weapon. I don't think a mace is really different than a hammer in this regard. 2
Atkion he/him Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 Yeah! Think of that! a sharpened tripwire that would just slice through anyone who comes at you! You could also make it so thin that it would be almost invisible, because it would still be practically indestructable.
Atkion he/him Posted July 21, 2016 Author Posted July 21, 2016 How about ShardArmor? Obviously, this already exists somewhat in the form of ShardPlate, but this would be literally indestructible....?
Stormgate he/him Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Syl made herself into a shield. I think that's the best thing in the way of armor that is possible.

I even think I might have started a thread about it. *goes to look it up and make sure* Found it! There was some interesting discussion here about what a Radiant Spren can/cannot do. Check it out!
Assassin in Burgundy he/him Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 I've said this before in a different site, but the non weapon Sylphone would still be cool.

It's funny, the Nalthian princess and Apple's personal assistant that is installed in most of their mobile products have the same name.

You could also make it so thin that it would be almost invisible, because it would still be practically indestructable. Wow way to make me cringe. xP. Also just because a shard blade cuts doesn't mean other spren objects would. So you could make a trip wire that tripped. Also on the arrow thing, I'm sure a spren could fire off a piece of themselves as the arrow while being the bow. They could also be much larger/wider in the arrow head than a real on. After all its a spren and not wood and metal. XP as Syl points out laws of physics are just suggestions. Lol What about spren hair clip, for those stormy days or to make a real statement peice...
