I have a similar theory about these "godspren" for lack of a better word, being the dawnshards. And hence bondsmiths having access to dawnshards. The more I think about it, it seems to be one or the other, and I like your theory. Idk. That's the fun of speculations. I have a related question, does the nightwatcher equal the old magic, or does it only make up some of it. Basically is there more old magic or just the nightwatcher.
