    Brandon has talked about how Pattern "withdrew" after Shallan started getting all lie-to-herself. We also have some more direct WoB: Source:

    I'd just assumed that was a heavily stylized take on the compass rose.
  3. Kurkistan
    Ooh, very interesting answer, that second one.
  4. Kurkistan
    Chaos!? You wound me! ( ) -Though, to be fair, most of my delving into the minutia of time bubbles is at the very least spurred by FTL considerations.

    EDIT: Better WoB: Kind of. Odium visited Sel long before the events in Elantris (he was the cause of the Seons/Skaze showing up), but the chasm/Reod were likely the consequence of some weird magical buildup that happened because of the Splintering he did. I believe one of the epigraphs from the in-world WoR speaks to this, how the Elsecallers were the best at Shadesmar. One thing to help your theory is that even Kaladin gets a glimpse of Shadesmar when he first uses the Basic Lashing. We know that Hoid uses Shadesmar (can't recall the link, sorry); you might want to know that space without people is "contracted" in the Cognitive realm.

    An interesting idea.

    You'll note that the last post before Acecool's was a year ago, flinn.

    I'd like to note that I'm with Shardlet in thinking that this is mostly a misunderstanding on our part. Anything else is rather silly, I think. One thing I'd like to note is that, at the point where Szeth was convinced that Kaldin had one of the 2 Regrowth-enabling Honorblades, he hadn't seen Kaladin do anything but glow and heal his arm. The arm-healing in particular, it seems, is supposed to be impossible with infused-Stormlight from an Honorblade but okay with even Honorblade-Regrowth. Sure Kaladin claimed to be a Windrunner, but he never actually used any Lashings.

    You can always upload the audio to Soundcloud if you want some help, Jerric.

    Spren bonds are Spiritual (forgive me, but I can't find the source at the moment), just so you know. "Connection-y" things tend to be Spiritual in nature. Welcome to the forums, btw!

    It's nice to get some new annotations. Besides the tidbits (Sazed's Zenness, the God Beyond...), I like to read Brandon's thoughts on his writing. @Windy Let's call it dozing, then.
  13. Kurkistan
    Not to burst your bubble, but I think you may be confusing some characters. Zahel != Nalan, I don't believe. So Vasher is the swordmaster, but somehow Nalan got a hold of Nightblood.

    Don't forget that Ym (either Edgedancer or Truthwatcher, due to having Regrowth) corresponds to a female Herald.

    I'd like to note that Shard-severed limbs seem to functionally be paralyzed, not "dead." They likely still have blood flowing through them and whatnot, otherwise they'd literally rot off.
  16. Kurkistan
    I don't think that's how it works. He makes light prismatic, not objects, and Awakening drains the color from objects.
  17. Kurkistan
    Because they don't? I'm fairly sure that even Susebron can't get any energy from pure-white objects.
  18. Kurkistan
    Let's see... I got the nature of Stormlight healing very wrong. Spren as living ideas is basically in line with my whole Form theory (though I intend to clarify that with Brandon at the signing in a week ). Hmm... And now that the time comes I can't think of anything that stuck out. I'm sure that something will occur to me as soon as I click "Post".
  19. Kurkistan
    Here's a new one that Aonar came up with: What connection is there between Lifeless and Shard-severed limbs? -There's a theory that the color-drain of Awakening is actually the initial Command feeding off energy released when and object's Spiritual connections are broken/an object is Spiritually damaged.
  20. Kurkistan
    Oh great, we just need a quality to match some of the best animation to come out of America in decades. That should be easy.
  21. Kurkistan
    I'm curious as to why you think Nightblood's origins are in doubt.
  22. Kurkistan
    @Wes Ah, thank you for that additional information. I agree that "non-Windrunner" covers other Orders, but I was afraid that Brandon might have misinterpreted the meaning of the question and was himself referring only to non-Surgebinders.
  23. Kurkistan
    That's not 100% that, say, a Lightweaver would get the powers, though.
  24. Kurkistan
    Interesting. Mind dropping the direct link for that?
  25. Kurkistan
    Here's a few I've added to my list since WoR came out: Does being the donor of a Hemalurgic spike have any implications for your afterlife? Are there a bunch of Scadrian souls wandering the afterlife with holes their personalities/memories/identities? Why did Syl turn into a hammer during Kaladin's fight with Szeth? A hammer might be better against Plate, perhaps, but not against squishy flesh. You've said that Drabs on Nalthis don't have Innate Investiture: How are they still sentient, then?
