It's canon that Shallan is attracted to Jasnah but I don't see it going anywhere because of the age and maturity gap and also because Shallan is oblivious and I headcanon Jasnah as asexual.

We've even had a WoB that implies that being "broken" is not strictly necessary in the first place. So I think discussing over and over again whether he's "broken" is kind of a waste of time. And it also kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth, tbh. Also, while I think Cultivation could fix her, I don't think it's necessary, and from an out-of-story POV it feels like kind of a cop-out. I also disagree that they don't fit together. We've had WoB that she might have wanted to bond with him if she were alive, so I think they do fit together.

I don't think Rosharians have enough medical knowledge to produce viable tissue through Soulcasting. And even if they had the medical knowledge to theoretically do it, it would be incredibly complicated and probably prohibitively difficult.

I agree. I don't think a human soul has the power to add enough Investiture to a being of pure Investiture to change its nature in a significant way. Spren do become somewhat more human-like in thought processes when bonded, but that does not, and cannot change their basic nature.

They can't be in more then one piece and the metal isn't very flexible so you couldn't really do full armour because you wouldn't be able to move. A chestplate or some forms o helmet might work though.

I'd also like to note that Adolin identified her as being made of dead vines after having seen living cultivationspren in Celebrant. So he might also have simply misinterpreted her appearance due to not knowing what kind of spren she is and what they look like when they're alive.

Amaram was even warned that Yelig-nar ate the last person who tried to deal with him. Idiot.

I'd be surprised if he couldn't eat spicy food. It sets off pain and heat receptors but it doesn't really do any damage. Hot tea is a more interesting question.

I don't interpret that as her changing, just him being more observant about her appearance. As a dead cultivationspren she looks like she's made of dead vines, but Adolin wasn't observing her closely at the start due to being spooked.

Yeah, Adolin's treatment of darkeyes is VERY notable, considering how most lighteyes, especially of his station, treat them.

We know from the WoB I got (which I am very very smug about) that Maya probably would have been willing to bond with him i she were alive, so I'd say that's good evidence that Adolin would make a good Edgedancer. I think he's got a ways to go to realize that about himself though, he's very hung up on being what people expect him to be, and I think that's causing him to not notice some of his other strengths, or not value them.

Yeah they are basically missing a chunk both Cognitively and Spiritually as the ripping out of the bond did a bunch of damage. The only thing that's likely to be able to heal them is if somebody can establish a new bond with them, I think. And that's super hard because they are mostly inert. But Adolin might be doing it with Maya.

Dalinar might not have but other people like Adolin and Navani would, also Jasnah's thoughts at the end of OB kind of suggest he's always been like that.

I think simply forming a nahel bond with her should be what is required to restore her,, no extra investiture required. It's plausible that she'll have some lingering "scars" from the whole thing, but I don't think it'll change her basic nature.

Every second year there's a highstorm in the middle of the Weeping.

Well I think they scream when they are summoned or in the process of being summoned but aren't screaming when unsummoned in Shadesmar.

I think a spren's fundamental nature is fixed by the nature of the Investiture that created them, unless something like Sja-anat comes along and throws a whole lot of other Investiture at them. So I definitely don't think her fundamental nature can be changed in that way. Also I object to the idea that all cultivationspren are peaceful, because Cultivation herself has said that her nature encompasses the "thorns" as well.

Muscle is energy intensive to maintain so bodies get rid of it if it's not needed.

somebody asked Brandon on reddit and apparently the working title is Song of Changes but it will probably change.

a long time ago. Even before OB was released IIRC.

Oooh Rhythm of the Lost would be cool! I'm not sure it quite fits the "in-universe literary works" theme, but it's a cool title.

I don't think he's in love with Syl romantically.

I'm Canadian and I joke about Americans spelling things "wrong" but it's mostly just a joke. I don't really care that much. Most people here use American spellings some of the time anyway even though British spelling is the official spelling.

I wouldn't be surprised if somebody did end up with a double nahel bond at some point. There's also a theory going on about Sja-anat becoming effectively a fourth Bondsmith spren since she claims to want to defect from Odium's side.

Brandon is an American writing in the US. He will write things using American spelling because that's how those words are spelled in the US. If the UK publisher wanted to change it for books printed in the UK they could, but they didn't chose to do that and that's not Brandon's fault. Complain to the publisher if it bothers you.
