An evil 545lighteyes he/him Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I was thinking about how much trouble Kaladin had with basic lashings and I started thinking of ways that accidents could happen with surges. I imagine Dalinar kicking a tree and having it bend and spring back or a Dustbringer blowing up a canteen of water. Please post other ideas here. 2
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Constantly using Abrasion accidentally, causing you to fall/trip (at least you won't get back ache from constantly falling due to Stormlight heals) 1
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Random Transportation! Or actual Hands of Midus using Transformation. 1
natc Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Edgedancer gets hurt, and tries to Regrow themselves because stormlight was taking too long. Suddenly strangled by vines. 2

Cemci she/her Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 To come back to Kaladin, falling into the sky and having your stormlight run out before you could come back down far enough. Depending on the height, that could very well be deadly. 1
Zea mays Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I'm waiting for Kal to try wind-running while seriously drunk. That would go wrong in all kind of exciting directions. 2
Alfa he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Full-lash-spray a wall with a vast amount of stormlight and then accidentally lean against it (assuming the unlucky Windrunner/Bondsmith has not discovered that he or she can draw sprayed stormlight back yet). 2
The Honor Spren she/her Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I'm waiting for Kal to try wind-running while seriously drunk. That would go wrong in all kind of exciting directions.You can't really get drunk when you have stormlight. Or at least it is pretty hard. 1
natc Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Full-lash-spray a wall with a vast amount of stormlight and then accidentally lean against it (assuming the unlucky Windrunner/Bondsmith has not discovered that he or she can draw sprayed stormlight back yet). Same windrunner tries to lash a chasmfiend to the sky and accidentally full lashes his hand to it. 1
An evil 545lighteyes he/him Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Are you sure that you could lash a chasmfiend? they are invested (the spren in their gemhearts that help keep them alive) 1
natc Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 However much investiture that is worth, it certainly doesn't stop shardblades. When you can presumably block those even with a sufficiently awakened tablecloth.
Guest Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 You can't really get drunk when you have stormlight. Or at least it is pretty hard. Do we know if we could? Can a Radiant get drunk?
An evil 545lighteyes he/him Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Do we know if we could? Can a Radiant get drunk? Probably not. Stormlight heals and prevents death even when you should die, so I think it would heal the body from toxins. There is precedence for it magic to view alcohol as poison. Warbreaker: Lightsong proved that returned can't get drunk.

There is precedence for it magic to view alcohol as poison. Warbreaker: Lightsong proved that returned can't get drunk. Hmmm that's a thought. Irrelevant as I never thought we were bond to see drunk Kaladin, but still a fun fact. Elhokar can keep on being the drunk one then.
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I think they probably can, providing they don't have any stormlight in them. I guess as soon as they breathe in any, it would automatically be purged from them. (woo no hangover!)
An evil 545lighteyes he/him Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 I still think it would be hard with the effect going away any time you inhale to sharply Kaladin couldn't get a tattoo because the ink ran off any time the needle pricked him too badly
Zathoth Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 It kind of depends, healing works by restoring you to the state you think is your natural. An alchoholic probably couldnt heal from being drunk.

natc Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I do believe pewterarms and bloodmakers can drink indefinitely and still be sober as well. At least until they turn off their powers. 1
DreamEternal Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) What spren would bond an alcoholic, I can see highspren bonding junkies but alcoholics seem farfetched Why? Being addicted to alcohol does not take one's honor away. The way I see it, it would be something akin to Kaladin's depression, a sickness of the mind that must be battled, but not something that would push most spren away. Maybe an elsecaller or skybreaker spren would disaprove, since that would make it harder for the Radiant to keep a level head and be rational or impartial. And why a highspren, of all things, would bond a junkie? They are probably one of the spren types who would care about that. Edited September 26, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern 1

DreamEternal Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) It was a really bad pun. Oh. Sorry, english is not my native language, so sometimes puns, good or bad, are lost on me. That still does not explain why you think alcoholics can't be Radiants. Unless that was part of the joke. I hate puns. Edited September 26, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern
An evil 545lighteyes he/him Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Unless that was part of the joke. I hate puns. It wasn't. I just think that the lack of responsibility would make it less likely for a spren to bond them.
