Erandeni he/him Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 I am looking for a WoB about the minimum age a Nahel bond is able to form.
+ElephantEarwax he/him Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 @Pagerunner Thanks a lot. This will help.

It was talking about how young Shallan was, and how she was near the bounds/limit/threshold of what's possible, but try as I might I can't find it.

It was talking about how young Shallan was, and how she was near the bounds/limit/threshold of what's possible, but try as I might I can't find it. I searched theoryland for word "shallan" and then cross-searched for "bond". Nothing of note. Nothing Idealistic is looking for. Quote Question Where was Pattern before Shallan drew him? Brandon Sanderson He was around. The bonding process had started when Shallan was young but then she pushed him away and he withdrew mostly to the Cognitive Realm until the bonding was started again and she pulled him fully into the Physical when she drew him.source Quote Kythis How did Pattern actually become a Shardblade even though he hadn't been fully pulled into the Physical Realm? Brandon Sanderson He was pulled into the Physical Realm before, when Shallan was younger. And she almost broke her bond. Q: He didn't go mad though. A: She didn't completely break the bond. She didn't reject him completely. But it was dangerous for a while. source I also looked through Page's collection looking for "shallan" and then read all of it, nothing of note. Of course, I may have overlooked something. Or maybe somebody misspeled "shallan" or "bond". Or it doesn't contain word "bond". Or "Shallan", for that matter. BTW: On 3.07.2017 at 2:01 PM, Storming Radiant said: Is there a WoB regarding a human bonding with an Odiumspren? I came upon a WoB for you: Quote Question Can anyone other than a Parshendi bond a voidspren? Like, can a human bond a voidspren? Brandon Sanderson That is theoretically possible but humans are not good at bonding spren in the same way. source Edited July 26, 2017 by Oversleep 1
+Extesian he/him Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Yeah I've done as full a search as I can, theoryland with every combination of old, young, age, nahel, shallan etc and the same with reddit, and the same with my collection of WoBs post-theoryland. If it exists its probably either an obscure webpage or something posted on the Shard that's difficult to search for (a spoilered WoB for example).
Oversleep Posted July 26, 2017 Author Posted July 26, 2017 Hm... it may also have been one of these weird WoBs out there in the internet but quoted in coppermind (there are some like that, like trellium not being of Endowment IIRC). That could be why we can't find it but two Sharders remember it.
+Extesian he/him Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 So I expanded my search to the forums. The only reference I can find to this, particularly with some of the words you guys mentioned, was from @maxal in two different posts. main one here Maxal, do you know where you got the idea that Shallan was on the lower boundary of age limitation for forming a Nahel bond? Do you have a source? Is it possible that you heard it second-hand and repeated it? I don't think I've seen you be mistaken on something so I suspect you got it from somewhere reliable, but at the moment you are the only source I can find. It's possible this'll end up going on the Unmaking the Canon thread but I also feel like I heard it somewhere, so I suspect it's just hard to locate
Calderis he/him Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 @Extesian I remember explicitly it didn't mention how old she was, but she was near the lower bound. I've looked for it all day and can't find it, but I know this is one I've read before. I'm extremely frustrated.

I don't recall the exact question nor the exact answer, but he did say Shallan was on the lower edge to form a Nahel bond. So either the original question was about the minimum age to form a Nahel bond or pertaining to the plausibility of child Shallan being able to move through the oaths (which was an on-going discussion at the time). I don't recall a specific age being mentioned... so I dunno where the 8 years old come from. I would need to revisit the whole thread. As for producing the WoB, well, huh... it will be difficult. I can check in Theoryland if it pops out since it is not recent. We should look into stuff circa 2015.

Thanks Maxal, that's all good, I figured you would remember it being a WoB and as you do (and Calderis does as well) it should be out there.

Are you sure you wanted to post that here? Everyone else: I am currently combing that thread to compile a list of questions and answers; that way it will be easier to find and we will know which WoBs are currently looked for.

I'll just tag the rest of you instead of multi-quoting. @Calderis@Extesian@Oversleep@maxal The Entry actually mentioned Lift. The keyword to find it in Pagerunner's list is "breakfast." (the only reason I remembered it) Quote Q: How old would you say somebody has to be in order to attract a Spren (with bonding intentions)? I can't imagine infants performing anything remarkable enough, but what about, say, 5-6 year olds? I could easily imagine them being selfless and protecting in their own little way - does this mean we can have children who can barely speak well Lashing their breakfast to the ceiling? A: Someone like Lift is near the lower threshold, though it does depend on the Spren in question. 4

Ecthelion III he/him Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Was there one about Scadrial being the only Shardworld with 2 Shards?

There was something about light smoke going up (Stormlight) in opposition to NIghtblood smoke and that Shardblades are unnaturaly light while Nightblood is unnaturale heavy. IT EXISTS I AM NOT INSANE AFTER ALL Quote Q: Why are shardblades unnaturally light and Nightblood unnaturally heavy? A: (I feel) he didn't really answer it directly, but basically it's because Nightblood is basically what Shardblades would be if they were "broken." It has to do why Nightblood leaks black smoke that falls down, as opposed to white mist that floats up, and things like this. They are built on the same principles, but in some ways opposites. source Thanks @WeiryWriter for finding it Edited August 27, 2017 by Oversleep 1
