Radiant spren appeareance and "cousins"

[marianmi]

This is maybe a long-shot, but:

* Syl is cousin to windspren

* Wyndle looks like a vine

And we have the following fighting stances: windstance, vinestance, stonestance, smokestance, ironstance, flamestance

 

So maybe some of the other radiant spren look like:

* stone (stonewards)

* smoke (skybreakers)

* metallic look (willshapers)

* look like flame and cousin to flamespren (dustbringers)

 

EDIT:

if we consider the oily look of elsecallers and the pattern look of lightweavers, we are left with:

* bondsmiths - may bind different types of spren

* truthwatchers - Ym's spren was described, but Glys is a RAFO. maybe truthwatchers, like bondsmiths, may bond different types of spren - and this explains the position in the radiant chart of the bondsmiths and truthwatchers?

Remember that we see Wyndle only from Lift's eye and she is really close to the Cognitive Realm. It's possible that Wyndle doesn't really look in that way on the Physical (just think the difference between Pattern in the Physical and Cognitive).

Some speculate that Ym was an Edgedancer (for some reasons not relevant here) and indeed his spren is the standard looking Edgedancer's spren

She sees the physical form of Wyndle, not the cognitive one. Otherwise, she would see the "distant sun" that is described both in shallan's and kaladin's interactions with shadesmar.

 

How do you know what it's the "standard looking Edgedancer spren" ? Is Pattern "standard looking"?

She is more near to the Cognitive than other Human being (more than a Listener probably), but She isn't in the Cognitive. It's the reason I said " It's possible that Wyndle doesn't really look in that way on the Physical". Simply we don't know.

I don't know. But if Ym was an Edgedancer (and he had no weird thing happened to him) is Spren was a "standard looking Edgedancer spren".
About the Last Question, I don't really understand what you wanted to ask:

We saw many Cryptics from the Cognitive Side and Patter both in the Cognitive and Physical Side. I may say that probably the Cryptics are the Spren we know more for the their appearance among the Realms
