I'm new to the forum and hope that I'm not repeating anybody. But, in regards to the surge of atmospheric pressure (very mild spoilers for WoR).... Is it possible that when Kaladin was first learning to use basic lashings - flying above the shattered plains - he was unconciously using the surge of Atmospheric Pressure? I say this because Kaladin specifically mentions that the air isn't as thin as Rock said it should be. Could he be using Atmospheric Pressure unconciously to create a pocket of breathable air around him? That's all! Feedback appreciated.
