    So, today I finally realized that the Way of Kings cover had Dalinar in front and Kaladin in the back. Up until today, I had thought that was Dalinar and Eshonai. When reading or rereading the two books (so far) what other facepalm-worthy moments have you guys had? I'm genuinely interested to hear what you guys have to say Most ridiculous (and true) answer wins a cookie! Or maybe some Rosharian wine.

    It was Renarin. When the countdown got to zero, he started to carve another message inside of the transportation fabrial. I think that it was simply that nobody was paying attention to him at earlier points in the story.

    I don't think that a lightsaber could beat a sprenblade. A sprenblade is just too fast and versatile. I guess that Nighblood could lose to a saber, since he's just a sword. And we don't know what honorblades can do, yet.

    Kaladin goes to Hearthstone, finds that his parents moved, but decides to save the townspeople anyways. He overcomes his animosity to lighteyes after realizing that the Whitespine was mind-controlling Roshone when he forced Tien into service. Hoid and Jasnah talk in the forest, then Hoid runs away, and Jasnah would rather read the new Mistborn novel than save Roshar, so she doesn't do anything. Shallan is blackmailed into helping the Ghostbloods. In chapter 67, she stops helping them, after realizing that the ghostbloods were bluffing in chapter 2 when they said "I really hope this feint works. We're totally bluffing." Lopen seeks to reassemble the Vorpal Sword of One-Armed Herdazia. He brings a cousin with him. Sam Bradford shows up and tears his ACL. Roshar then trades him to the Star Wars universe for Jar Jar Binks. Elhokar reenacts that scene from "Risky Business" after a long night of partying. We find out that Odium was upset that Sim City 4 required an online connection in Braize, and only Comcast serves Braize.

    Shardblade vs Lightsaber - Lightsaber wins. Sprenblade (or Radiantblade, or Honorblade, or Nightblood) vs Lightsaber - Lightsaber loses.

    That's what I'm trying to say. It's unnecessary. It's such a bad villainous plot that even a Bond film would reject it.

    Hodor Hodor. Hodor? Hodor; Hodor Hodor! Hodor, Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor?! Hodor.

    You cannot stop Szeth. You can only hope to contain him.

    I'm not trying to put words in your mouth. My issue with your theory is that from what we've seen, there's nothing Gavilar could do with the sphere that Venli couldn't. As such, it would be counterproductive for her or for a member of her scholars to give it to him. However, I'm fully open to a third party (maybe linked to Sons of Honor, or maybe of Anarchy) giving him the sphere. I just can't see it being from members of the Parshendi.
  11. Patrick Star
    Venli rediscovered stormform and has been channeling odious powers for a while now. If she had the sphere, she would have been able to use it.
  12. Patrick Star
    Close to zero. Why would Venli give it to him, rather than unleashing it herself? It doesn't make sense.

    Probably one of Lopen's cousins. He's unarmed and dangerous! Sorry, I'll show myself out.
  14. Patrick Star
    Thanks for that. I'm glad that I said "may", otherwise I would have made a fool of myself. My food comment still stands, though.

    As radiants advance, they hold stormlight more effectively. Full fledged voidbringers and five oath radiants may hold it perfectly. Plus, there's always food. It's perfect enough for Lift. Doesn't matter if it's moldy, still full of juicy awesomness

    Nalan's been around for 2000 years. Early on, he joined some courts and inserted some conditions into the kingdoms' laws like "All dark-skinned men with crescent marks on their face may kill surgebinders." In invisible ink, of course.

    Plot Armor, actually.

    Thanks for explaining it better than me, Rasha. Heh, pretty much.

    They can totally increase it. Nale said that edgedancers could run on a thread (or something like that). That would only be possible by increasing friction.
  20. Patrick Star
    That's not how friction works. Friction is equal to the coefficient of friction times the normal force. Air exerts almost no normal force (air resistance), and water exerts very little as well. Abrasion would only affect the coefficient, so even if it were possible, it would take way too much stormlight for a radiant to do.

    Nightblood got away from Vasher and ended up killing every evil person on Nalthis. This made all of the non-evil people angry, which Nightblood interpreted as evil because he got bored, so he killed them as well, then went to Roshar in order to kill all of the evil people there as well. Also, he wants to eat Odium.

    I'm trying to decide whether it's a supercooled amorphous solid or a superheated crystalline solid. Now that I'm looking at it more closely, the second option seems more likely. The reason that I'm damnation-bent on the super idea is the melting that occurs when shardplate breaks, as there is no temperature change that would cause that, so superheating seems likely. The broken plate is undergoing a phase change.
  23. Patrick Star
    Actually, the part with it growing back perfectly lines up with how seed crystals work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_crystal And at room temperature, Stormlight is a light-emitting gas, as I have pointed out many times before. That would mean that for Shardplate to be made out of pure stormlight, it would have to be superheated (or the equivalent for solids), otherwise it would be a gas.
  24. Patrick Star
    Shardplate could also be a superheated crystalline solid. The trick is figuring out why shardplate melts when it's struck, why it's cracked, and why it grows back faster with an existing piece. Now that I think about it, superheating does sound like a better explanation. And also, superheating doesn't mean that it has to be hot. It just means that the temperature is higher than what should be required to make the material phase shift into a liquid (for example, a 35 degree Fahrenheit piece of ice). That could be why the shardplate melts once it's struck, and why you're able to seed it (traditional solids are crystalline, and can be seeded).

    Liquid nitrogen isn't super cooled either. It's very cold, but not super cooled. The definition of super cool is "cool (a liquid) below its freezing point without solidification or crystallization." (thank you, google). Glass is a super cooled liquid with a viscosity so high that it acts like an amorphous solid. That's very different than a crystal.
