Seeker861 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 So far we know that the Fused are ancient Singers that are not pulled to the Beyond (does this make them Cognitive Shadows?) and that each one controls a Surge. This has lead me to an idea about how they came to be. I think that Odium fused each of them with a lesser Voidspren when they died which resulted in them being able to resist the pull of the Beyond and gain the ability to manipulate a single Surge. This would also explain their name, since they are fused with a spren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeakoftheDeval Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yeah the fused are definitely cognitive shadows- Brandon referred to them as such when I saw him yesterday. As for them being fused with voidspren this would fit in with that theory that radiants of the fifth ideal fuse completely with their spren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvys Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 The obvious would be that Fused refers to a fusion between a Parshman body and the Listener spirit, not the spirit itself. I don't think we have confirmation that they only access a single surge either do we ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScavellTane Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Could their madness tied to their repeated transition to the Pysical Realm from Shademar? The higherspren loses part of themselves from the transition, perhaps the ancient singers does as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Investor Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 The higher spren don't have a physical link, which may be the cause of their problems. The fused on the other hand seem to be going insane from the repeated deaths, and the power that is warping their souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScavellTane Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 That's if the Ancient Singers cross directly into a physical host. We don't know that they don't have to first make the transition and then bond the host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbulick Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I thought it was fairly clear that they first transition into the physical realm and then bond the host. There was the scene where they were trying to bond with Venli, but her little spren slipped in instead claiming her. I got the impression that there were a number of fused spren flying around looking for hosts they liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
