[OB] Shallan and Szeth

[Sylisajunkie]

No shipping business here folks, keep your gonadcanons under control.

This is mostly a crack theory because Surges and how they manifest in different realms are murky topics, but 'Spiritual Adhesion', this WoB, and the note on Lightweaving in WoR Ars Arcanum have convinced me that Szeth's screams and Shallan's fractured psyche are the results of their reckless use of Adhesion and Illumination respectively.

Dalinar hears them as well, we get direct answers as to why from Nalan.

Mentioning it brought the whispers to Szeth’s attention. Nin had not healed Szeth’s madness. He’d called it an effect of Szeth’s connection to the powers, and said that he was hearing trembles from the Spiritual Realm. Memories of the dead he’d killed.

Ah, right, I completely forgot about Dalinar, but he didn't have access to any Surges back then; would his connection to Nergaoul count as a 'connection to the powers'?

Definitely, Unmade are a splinter of Odium, and his eyes were glowing red.
