StormWrath he/him Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) So I was doing a re-read of WoR and came across the lopen's pov when he successfully ingests stormlight "The Lopen sucked in light. It happened in an eyeblink, and then there he sat, Stormlight streaming from his skin. "Ha!" He shouted, leaping to his feet. "Ha! Hey, Chilinko, come back here. I need to stick you to the wall!" So,the lopen wanted to stick chilinko to the wall which is a full lashing,so my question is can squires use lashings? I was under the impression that squires can only ingests stormlight and cannot get any of the two surges a full KR gets or is it possible that squires can get one of the surges of the KR they are squiring for? But if so how did the lopen knew he would get access to adhesion (full lashing) and also if the squires get a single surge from the KR they are serving then that means that a squire that gets the surge of gravitation (basic lashing and reverse lashing) would be almost as powerful as a full windrunner, they can also fly and do anything a windrunner can except sticking objects to places.

Nashan’Elin he/him Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) The Lopen probably just thought he could stick Chilinko to the wall since he's seen Kaladin do it. We're not sure what squires can do at this point. They may be able to use Surges, they may only get the passive abilities. It would have been more informative if we had gotten to see the Lopen actually attempt to stick Chilinko to the wall. Edited February 26, 2016 by Nashan'Elin
Ardjet Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I just took this to be The Lopen being The Lopen. He has no idea if he can stick things to walls. But it was something he liked that Kaladin could do, and as far as he knows he has those powers, too. Whether or not he can remains to be seen. But yeah, I think he was just getting overly excited and over-reacted(if one can over-react to watching someone have real mystical powers, then discovering you have them, too).
+Wax he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Making bad stew? Just re-reading WoR, I made the connection that Hauber's leg would start working again, with the squire healing process.
scifan he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I'd been thinking there was some level of possibility that several shard blade wounded guys in Bridge 4 would be healed with stormlight... assuming they can "learn" how to break the barrier - like Kaladin figured out...
A Windspren he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Maybe he can if he actually tries, because he believes he can on a Cognitive level?
