radiants shades

Radiants got ther blades and plate from ther bonded spren. In short 1 spren makes plate and blade so if spren dies dos spren split in two?

We don't know that they get both their blades and their plate from their spren. the current prevailing theories are that Plate is either made of stormlight somehow, or that it is made up out of smaller spren, which are different for each order. (For example: Windspren for Windrunners). 

[KandraAllomancer he/him]

The most popular current theory is that the Shardplate is formed by non-sapient "cousin" spren of the bonded spren (windspren for Windrunners, gloryspren for Bondsmith etc.). As for splitting a spren -  that's how spanreeds seem to work. You trap a spren in a ruby an then split it, essentially creating a spren equivalent of quantum entanglement

If Adolin getts Mayalaran's plate what will happen

Well, without bonding with Maya he can't create a new Shardplate... And chances of finding the exact Shardplate that belonged to her former Radiant are close to zero. I would expect that from Maya's perspective it would be just another plate though

If Adolin does "revive"/un-deadeye Maya, would he (after progressing through oaths) be able to recall and summon/dismiss the original plate that was associated with Maya and her previous Radiant?

My guess would be no. Bonds are about Connection - and the Connection between her former Radiant and Maya herself or the corresponding plate is gone. I would be quite surprised if there was any trace of Connection left between Maya and the Shardplate in such situation

There is a WoB for that! lol

What would happen differently if a person found a Shardblade and Shardplate that belongs to the same Radiant?

Brandon Sanderson

That is an excellent question. It happened way more in the past than it happens now, but certain Blades and Plates are historically kind of linked together. If you were knowing to look for a difference, you would notice a slight difference, mostly if you could speak to or sense the Sword, but it wouldn’t have a very big mechanical difference, if that makes sense.

So what you're saying is, if Adolin revives Maya he's in for a road trip/fetch quest.

Yes....the spren splits in two

Could be the reason why they are always screaming.

Also, I feel like it is more likely that Maya does not have a corresponding shardplate (her radiant may have not reached the needed edgedancer ideal for shardplate yet). With the WoB about how shardbearers can sometimes communicate with linked blades and plate, the fact that Adolin can talk to Maya when he only has the blade suggests that he already has the entirety of Maya's bond (I know he is not bonded to her I just don't know how else to describe it).

[Nymeros]

I think he was more saying that if you could communicate with the spren you would notice a difference in the dead blade spren with and without their paired radiant plate.
