Watchcry he/him Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I've been casually searching the forums to see if anyone else has thought of this before: Could Truthwatcher surges/resonances provide them with atium misting-like abilities? I know Kaladin has demonstrated such abilities in the duel, but I figured Truthwatchers could experience something similar? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I think he's referring to Kaladin's thoughts that he could have dodged the blades in the duel with his eyes closed. I think as much as he felt that way, it was psychological, and not literally precognitive.
Andy92 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I tend to think a lot of Kaladin's fighting shows him demonstrating great reflexes and just a natural ability with a spear. I don't think he actually catches glimpses of the near future unless if there is a passage that states something along those lines.
teknopathetic he/him Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Well First of the Son has a very atrium-y power that can be granted, so it isn't hard to imagine truth watchers or other orders being granted the power. Truthwatchers seem to be able to see the future as their resonance power, since neither surge seems to be very oracle-esq. It would actually be really interesting if Larkens were somehow related to the birds of First of the Sun. The Earth-like creatures don't seem to be native to the planet, and First of the Sun is as good a guess as any for where magic birds may have come from (and been given time to evolve to the Rosharan ecosystem) *Though, First of the Sun is a late book in the series both in conception and in timeline, so maybe this isn't very likely. Personally, I felt that some of the Roshar refugee people are either from Braize or Threnody) Edited June 21, 2017 by teknopathetic

But I'm also referring to Atium misting-like abilities for Truthwatchers to use in battle. I know they aren't battle-oriented so it's probably not the case. It'd be cool nonetheless.
