Honorless he/him Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Lifespren are attracted to flora, it's probably the vines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the two Surges available to her Order of the Knights Radiant is called Progression. It can be used for healing (Regrowth), we've also seen her use it to facilitate the growth of plants (when she climbs into the Skybreakers' Tashikk hq via a window) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can use allomancy in their sleep, and Kaladin definitely uses stormlight while unconscious in WoK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can burn pewter as part of the instinctive healing but that is more of an exception. Edited August 6, 2020 by Karger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are examples of using investiture while asleep. I don't see any evidence that using investiture while asleep is just impossible most of the time as you claimed. Edit: also Hero of Ages Spoiler Spook uses tin while asleep. I know he was a savant but it should still be part of the discussion.

Otherwise you would not have to worry about making yourself sick by having access metal in your system. You could just burn it off. Vin mastered a weird skill called instinctive burning that allows her to burn pewter to heal herself while sleeping. Kaladin's body healing itself is a variant of that. However surges won't usually just activate without you trying to do so. Otherwise a dustbringer would probably kill themselves by burning their sheets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can sometimes develop the ability to use investiture while asleep in some ways. I wouldn't rule out the eventual possibility that someone could develop the strange ability to surgebind in their sleep though. Especially when things like the old magic are involved. I do agree that it would be very unusual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration he/him Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 The vines probably just came out because she wasn't moving. This is Roashar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
