1 king of nowhere Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 the simplest explanation is, he's a squire. of course we can't 100% excllude that he may have becoming radiant offscreen, but it seems very, very unlikely. I mean, he knows about kaladin, if he was bonding a spren he would have realized what was happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it makes the most sense that he is just a squire. There are also sources on this. Quote ARGENT Shallan has this awesome Memory thing going on, Jasnah has this geolocation thing, Kaladin is a really good fighter - are those just their traits, or is there something supernatural going on? BRANDON SANDERSON There is something supernatural about those. Each Order... Well, how about this. If you look at scholars' interpretations, there are some scholars who think that these things are not supernatural, and some who think that they are. But, if you look, many Lightweavers had powerful mnemonic abilities. ARGENT So it's definitely tied to the Orders? BRANDON SANDERSON It's tied to the Orders. Now, I am not going to say that you've got them all 100% correct, but each Order, there are things that come with Order, things that do not add up from simple the "you get this power plus this power," there is something else going on. And I would say that for Windrunners, watch the number of squires and the power of the squires... these are abnormal for the Windrunners. ARGENT And each Order's squires are somehow different from the other Orders'? BRANDON SANDERSON Yeeeaaaa... some Orders do not have them. ARGENT But some have more? BRANDON SANDERSON Yea. Source Quote ZENBOSSANOVA I said since Shallan has a unique ability of Memory from her blended surges, is fighting what Kaladin has? BRANDON SANDERSON No. His unique ability is “Strength of Squires”. Source Quote QUESTION So in the Stormlight Archive, they have the two Surges, and they have a third power effect, right? BRANDON SANDERSON They have kind of effects on each other, like a reverberation. Yes. I wouldn’t call it expressly a third power, I’d call it interactions. QUESTION So, it seems like...you don’t have to confirm anything, but it seems like Kaladin is able to transfer his powers to his men following him… BRANDON SANDERSON The Windrunners are known for having lots of squires. QUESTION And the Skybreakers seem like they’re really good at hunting people down. BRANDON SANDERSON I’m not going to answer any of those! But good questions!

Pretty sure you knew that, but your post could've been interpreted vaguely. Also, your second source notwithstanding, the Windrunner Resonance is both strength and number of squires. Windunners had a lot more than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windunners had a lot more than normal. Eh I figured the topic meant I was confining it to Windrunners but fair clarification. I feel the WoBs together spell out pretty clearly that it's numbers as well as strength, I agree the second one is either not worded well or is too limited. But never bad to clarify these things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Farnsworth Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Lopen is probably Kal's squire, so it would make sense that he could get power from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yata Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Lopen is confirmed to be a Windrunner Squire by WoB. But the text itself implies this....Of course in the future He could attract a proper Spren, but for now is Just a Squire.
