I just started the epilogue of Oathbringer moments ago. This whole read through I noticed the way they talked about the Parshendi rhythms and Timbre's pulses. Those two are the same thing, but the way they're described throughout the series is extremely similar to the way they describe a bronze seeker seeing the pulses of a rioter/soother (and other allomancy, but rioting and soothing specifically have multiple "wavelengths" the different emotions operate at). The same cosmere law of physics seems to be associated with the rhythms as seeker/rioter/soother allomancy, and the rhythms are based on emotion it seems. I defenietly think there is a connection and think the potential "resonance" of the Willshapers is to "shape wills" similar to soothing/rioting 2

StormblessedSurvivor he/him Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I believe that either order with the Surge of Transportation would be able to teleport-in the Way of Kings, Teft says the Radiants were able to teleport. Also, it seems like simply teleporting in the Physical Realm would definitely be easier than going to the Cognitive Realm.

You would think so, but both the Physical and Cognitive are location dependent. The only feasible way to bypass a need for travel would be to go further using the spiritual realm as a doorway, like folding space. Transition to the Cognitive would be Physical > Cognitive Teleportation would be Physical > Cognitive > Spiritual > Cognitive (in a separate location) > Physical That would happen all in one go, and the way a perpendicularity functions the Cognitive may be entirely bypassed, but the cost should be at least equal to transition.
Patrick Star Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 So we're saying that due to having a mix between transportation and cohesion, the Willshapers can affect stuff at a spiritual level at a distance. And that this process is likely related to shaping the wills and spirits of other people and objects. Oh my god. All this time, Brandon's only been building up to one thing... we all should have seen this coming... Spoiler
Eluvianii he/him Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 If they can make air solid, virtually they could fly, though the way I imagine it, it may be a bit uncomfortable and probably would consume a lot of stormlight. But using the same concept. Could they shape air and water around themselves so they can dive with an air bubble of sorts to breath and reshaping water behind them to move more easily?

I believe Tension is the Surge which can make substances solid. Theoretically, a Willshaper could probably greatly condense the air to make it solid(?) but I think it would be much easier to do with Tension.

StormblessedSurvivor he/him Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Yeah I think they could shape the air and water around them, letting them 'scuba dive' using Surges.
