bdoble97 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Could Shallan bound Re-Spren or what ever that sprens name was. It would be cool and wicked interesting to me in a way It could possibly give her a split personality even though it looks like she may be getting multiple personalities with all her creations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 In theory you could be bound to multiple Spren at the same time. Pratically it's something the Spren would not like, bonding a Voidspren and a Radiantspren would be probably see as an abomination by the Spren himself. The Midnight Mother tried to remove Pattern from Shallan's Soul and stick herself instead...To me this would never work but the Unmade tried, probably more to remove Pattern than else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even something more a hybrid between kr and a void bringer does that even make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Well yeah the ramifications will be deeply and probably mostly not fully predictable. We don't know what a Unmade's bond will do at all so it's hard to say what would happen in an hybrid case...Probably the Radiant would lose his resonance for the amount of powers hold or in the best case he would develop a new resonance instead of the previous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezrien Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 If I understand it correctly, a spren bond is embedded in cracks in your soul, which come from emotional trauma. That's why all the viewpoint radiants have troubled pasts. To bond two spren simultaneously, you would probably have to be even more traumatized than normal. It would mean a lot of power in the hands of someone deeply troubled and unstable. So it's possible, but I predict it's a recipe for disaster.

And with one of the two as magnitude of power above the other...it would be a really short cohexistence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Crabs Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Im with @Belzedar emotional/spiritual trauma causes cracks in a person's spirit web, which allows for investiture to pass through them on many different shardworlds. On Roshar this manifests via spren (who are themselves composed of investiture) who latch themselves onto a person's spirit web like a barnacle on a ship's hull. That metaphor is obviously flawed though visually helpful. We've got WoB that bonding of spren and using magic can either shore up these cracks in the spirit web or it can open them up wider. There is currently some debate about what may be happening to shallan's spirit web since she bonded pattern. (Im in the camp that her cracks have been opening wider recently) Now my supposition begins: I imagine that bonding an unmade completely warps and distorts a persons spirit web. Possibly so badly that any other spren who were bound to that person would be "killed" and unbonded once the unmade formed the connection. It's possible that the bonding of an unmade would widen the cracks in a person's SW into gaping chasms. And as i'm talking about this im coming up with a theory about honorblades and the unmade that i'll go write down. All this to be summed up with i think it wouldnt work very well with a person who had bonded honor/cultivation spren. Though it seems plausible that a voidbinder could snag an unmade in addition to their first spren. Edited November 5, 2017 by Head Crabs Capitolized Roshar because im crazy.
