Snipexe he/him Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 What are the light weavers resonances? could it be the kind of weird creating new personalities Shallan does?
Asrael he/him Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) I believe its the memory ability Shallan has. I can check sources on that.... These Lightweavers, by no coincidence, included many who pursued the arts; namely: writers, artists, musicians, painters, sculptors. Considering the order's general temperament, the tales of their strange and varied mnemonic abilities may have been embellished. ” —Words of Radiance, chapter 21 Edited October 4, 2017 by Asrael
Calderis he/him Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 It is the mnemonic device that allows her to "take" memories like a photograph. 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. 1
