Renarin's Blood Sickness

[Isla_Vezrian she/her]

So I was thinking about the fact that Renarin, we know, is a Truthwatcher and so has the two surges of Illumination and Progression. From the interludes, we know that Lift can use the food she eats to surgebind and heal herself but if she uses it too much it makes her tired and weak. My theory is that Renarin is doing this unknowingly and using up his energy which may be why he apeares 'weak' or 'sickly'. What do you guys think??

I think that this is the wrong place to put a theory.

And by the way, welcome to the Shard!

As to your theory, I think that there is a WoB about Lift being unique in her ability to metabolize food into Stormlight, though I may be wrong. 

Have a nice day!

It's an interesting theory, but remember, Lift got the ability to use food for Investiture because of her trip to the Nightwatcher.  That said, it's a parallel that we probably still shouldn't discount just yet.

Thanks! I realized this is the wrong place to put theories. Whoops! I was on my phone so it was much harder to navigate the website. I haven't had a chance to read the Edgedancer Novella (I really want to!) and so I didn't know. Thanks again for the warm welcome!!
