A rain of shrdblades?[WoR spoilers ahead!]
DreamEternal replied to rederel's topic in Stormlight Archive
I wonder what would happen if the Stormfather let Dalinar use him as a blade. Would it only work during a highstorm? Would Dalinar be able to control the highstorms? Would he have acess to all stormlight of the highstorms? If he could be called between highstorms, would it affect highsrorms somehow? Summon the highstorm? Temporaly take away the highstorm stormlight? -
Heat diminishing fabrials so you can simply build things with permanent ice, wich would be cheaper than soulcasting everything. Of course, it has to be planned in a way that the highstorm doens't make the structure so heavy it breaks before the extra ice can be removed. Also, I wonder if gemstones covered in ice can absorv stormilight, since spheres covered in glass ca do it.

Maybe all the breaths just condensed into a sentient, vaguely sprenlike, splinter locked in blade form. Seems more likely than acidentaly binding a worldhopping spren to a blade.

I am a shadow, of the dark winter wind born, I am a warrior, fighting for glory and life I am a failure, lieing to myself about my sin, But the whispers, unheard, watch me, So I lied, to reveal the truth unseem. So I failed, bringing us to the brink. So the warrior, punished me for my sin. So I punished he who did win. And now I regret it, and seek to learn. But I was rejected, and the whispers died unheard. Now I am failing at each step along the run. But I will keep running, till I reach the sun Cause the storm has come.

shardblade Changed Scene at the end of Words of Radiance
DreamEternal replied to Odium's_Shard's topic in Stormlight Archive
Nalan used a healing fabrial of sorts when healing Szeth, so it being his blade is out. I believe he meant that surgebinding from a living spren(like in a radiant or fabrial) can heal a soul, while an honorblade can't. Another possibility is that when a sprenblade kills, it also repairs the soul, perhaps removing Odious influence? Like, kill a voidbringer with a living shardblade and the voidspren bonded to it is destroyed? Nalan said that Szeth was reborn, and he did seem somewhat sanner to me, altough not much. And I don't like the idea if the unmade making Szeth evil, since it takes much of the tragedy of him destroying himself because his faithfullnes and honor conflited with his compassion when they could have been virtues if he was not made truthless Edit: Ninja-ed by Peter! Interesting. Maybe it means that honorblades also need a broken soul, or even break the soul themselves to give surgebinding, but while a spren can also help hold the broken soul together or even heal it, honorblades may only make it worse. I actually like it, Szeth having his soul broken further by his own Blade, both by the killing and by the power itself he used to kill. Way better than "Odium did it". -
Nice theory But how the hell would a spren show up in Nalthis? And why it would enter a sword just as Vasher awakened it? I do believe that nightblood wasn't created by regular awakening, but I doubt it involved spren or some weird offworld magic loophole, just a weird magic loophole.

Cymatics (spoilers, maybe, I don't know.)
DreamEternal replied to Turos's topic in Stormlight Archive
It is said by the stormfather that the everstorm would come periodicaly like an highstorm, but less frequently, so it is slower. Plus, the way the plains originaly shattered doens't fit with the collision of storms, wich threw plateaus into the sky, something very diferent from turning stone to dust along weakened lines and blowing it away. And the listener songs say that it wasn't their gods who shattered the plains. In general, I believe it is quite unlikely the breaking of the plains was caused by the storms. Plus, the stormfather says the Everstorm is something new, and Hoid says this desolation is not like the others. -
I honestly doubt Hoid would give away his lightweaving so Kaladin could have a flute, so I think it just has great sentimental value to him. Mayyyybe it has some other power, but there is no evidence of it.

Them I see it diferently. I belief that killing first, them dealing with what happens is a greater infraction than letting a criminal go to avoid risking greater damage. "Life before death" is part of "Journey before destination" and essential to understanding it to me, while you see both as separeted ideas, where the latter takes precedence. To make things clearer, killing people to collect their death rattles is against the first oath, but NOT killing the ghostbloods because they have information is not.
-
But Vasher did wield nightblood half-drawn once, to save the daughter of a high-priest of one of the gods. It cut like a regular, fully drawn sword, if I remember correctly.

Kaladin?

Yo mama is so cool any parshendi that see her bond an awespren. Yo mama so scary Odium decided to throw earth out of the Cosmere instead of facing her wraith. Yo mama so old, Adonalsium used to worship her as the God Beyond before he created the Cosmere.

Cosmere Nightmares
DreamEternal replied to High prince of geeks's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Two parshendi having a Horneater drunken song duel during a highstorm. In Iri. Either the scariest thing ever, or more awesome than Lift -
Nice WoB. Does that mean that Honor didn't need to be honorable himself? That could explain why the heralds felt cheated by the oathpact.

DreamEternal replied to Turos's topic in Stormlight Archive
And the listener songs say that whatever shattered the plains wasn't of their gods. -
Yes, you are right about the carriage driver, but you must remember Shallan never really helped them. She just dhowed them some maps Amaram had, with the writing removed, and said Dalinar was interested in a madman. In the time she believed the information they had could be vital to stop the desolation from starting. Simply killing them when NOT killing them could save more lifes could very well be AGAINST the first oath, wich disincourages killing as a first resort.
-
You must remember that while the ghostbloods are a bunch of amoral cutthroaths who employ assassins, we don't know them well enought to say they should just be killed. The only people we have seem they hunt are Jasnah, who was not above using assassins herself, and Amatam, who is, well, Amaram. Discovering more about them before fighting them would fit into life before death, and strenght before weakness doesn't forbid you from feeling justified fear. The only part if the first oath that could be against Shallan is Journey before Destination, wich is vague as hell. Plus, she was very careful to avoid giving them too much information, only giving then some maps and opening the path to Urithiru to save an army

[Theory/speculation] 'Main' Characters + Knight's Radiant
DreamEternal replied to JellyFishxD's topic in Stormlight Archive
Not saying that reverse lashing is Adhesion, but we don't realy know if the surges of Adhesion and Gravitation are limited to the lashings. -
It is supected that she is the herald Shalash, since we see many destroyed images of her and there is the following death rattle: "I see a woman sit and scratch out her own eyes. Daughter of kings and winds, the vandal." Brandon also confirmed that Shallash is Jezrien's daughter.

[Theory/speculation] 'Main' Characters + Knight's Radiant
DreamEternal replied to JellyFishxD's topic in Stormlight Archive
That isn't how it works, like, no. The surge of Adhesion has irs name because it main use is the full lashing, but it is actually the surge of air pressure. Giving a gravitatinal pull to an object is gravitation.
