Your username rocks I agree, though. I don't know if 1 windrunner could call a storm. Syls comments on harnessing the storms and bonding the storms, i tend to think it is more about utilizing and guiding or leading the storms.
WhiteLeeopard she/her Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 In the strict sense of the words you could probably say riding the storm accros half of Roshar as Kaladin just did could count as "harnessing the storms".
notsawerd Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 Bonding the storms sounds like someone having a Nahel bond with the storm to me. I don't think Kal will summon a highstorm. I have been thinking along the opposite. A way to end the everstorm. Stop the everstorm from blowing by using air pressure surge (Adhesion.) What would this take? A bunch of windrunners, the windrunner honorblade, a large source of investiture, and maybe the bondsmiths since they have adhesion as well and some kind of resonance effect. It could happen.
BrightVoid he/him Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I think that Windrunners could definitely cause wacky weather, but no highstorms because those have to have excess stormlight flying around in them.

If you want to get really specific, I don't think Oathbringer is the next book that was released after that quote, Edgedancer would be. Brandon does like to be intentionally misleading with his responses based on a technicality sometimes...

Aminar Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 If we see this, which we very well could, it'll be in a later book. That kind of effort is something you can't just give the hero early on (or even in the middle of) a story. Otherwise we'll constantly be talking about ways to weaponize storms for the heroes. (Plus it'd be too soon after the enemy did the same.) I would think the end of book 4 would be a good place to do something like this(except that it would probably be windrunners killing the everstorm via pressure systems so that it can't help the enemy anymore.) Do that at the end of book 4 and book 5 brings the war to a head.

She always seemed to be one step ahead of him when it comes to knowledge of what they can do, but not now. Didin't Nalan suggest that Ishar had told him that with Talanvast dead the Knights Radient/Surgebinders were capable of things they didn't used to be?

I think it was more along the lines of they already had those powers but Honor regulated it. (i'm pretty sure he said exactly "without Honor to regulate it")

Steeldancer he/him Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 I was thinking yesterday, and while I don't think Kaladin could summon a high storm, Jezrien... Before Honor died... He might have been able to.
Deldraedair Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Oh my gosh! Loving this theory! Also, remember when Dalinar and Shallan did some weird power combind thingy that made the big map. What if Kaladin could make a storm by bonding with another radiant. I also find really fascinating that he used Wind spren. I wonder if each order of radiant could control a common type of spren, and that's how he did it. It could just be an advanced form of adhesion or both. Either way Kaladin summoning a storm sounds awesome, and is definitely something Brandon would do. I have no doubts on that. (Forgive me if someone already mentioned this I got too excited and didn't read the whole thread)

What if Kaladin could make a storm by bonding with another radiant. I suppose you mean another bondsmith? I'd actually say that with Dalinar he'd have the most chance, as the Stormfather could probably give them an extra nudge.
