Wonko the Sane he/him Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Probably gonna be spoilers. So far as I know, Kaladin has not exhibited the Radiant power of Gravitation at all... only pressure. Therefor, he might not be a Windrunner at all. You guys have more time to search than I do: do we have any hints at what his other power might be? (Gravitation or otherwise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter she/her Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 actually he has, he did the Reverse Lashing accidentally a lot to make arrows hit the bridge instead of hitting him, also he did it sort of on purpose when they were running to rescue Dalinar and co to attract a whole bunch of arrows to his shield. He just hasn't yet done the Basic Lashing, which is more spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leinton Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 You know, you'd think from their names that a Basic Lashing would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe ST he/him Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 You know, you'd think from their names that a Basic Lashing would be easier. It could be that he's just not had much use for it, not been put in a situation where he needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonko the Sane he/him Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Hadn't caught that. I had assumed that Brandon would try to disperse his cast between the orders, and this way, we have two Windrunners: Kaladin and Szeth.

happyman he/him Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hadn't caught that. I had assumed that Brandon would try to disperse his cast between the orders, and this way, we have two Windrunners: Kaladin and Szeth. True, but I think he confirmed in the Goodreads interview that both Szeth and Kaladin were Windrunners. This is probably so we have some idea what Kaladin can do when he does it and we don't have to go through a training session like we did with Vin from Mistborn. I suspect that we will get multiple people from each order. It seems likely, at any rate. They'll need a lot of magic to handle what is happening to their world!

CrazyRioter she/her Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yes, but there's only going to be 9 or 10 main viewpoint characters (Brandon says he might give Kaladin a second focus book) and a lot of people thought it would make sense for each of them to e in a different order, apparently not. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 So? Some magic systems are better at creating a big story arc than others. We didn't get viewpoints from every Misting, and that worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
