I agree that in order for her to be healing there has to be a bond forming. Based on several WoBs I believe that's the only way they can be healed (barring possibly direct intervention from a Shard).

Brandon published Shadows For Silence in somebody else's anthology originally so writing for somebody else's anthology wouldn't stop him from writing a Cosmere novella if he wanted to. I'm dissappointed it's not Cosmere but I'm sure it'll be great, I've liked Brandon's non-Cosmere short stories too.

[OB] What you wished you’d seen
CrazyRioter replied to The Thinking Herald's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think Renarin and Jasnah need to have a long and enlightening talk and there wasn't enough room in the book for it. You can really tell Brandon was desperately trying to finish the book without making it too much longer. I feel like there needs to be a novella to tie up all the loose ends Brandon didn't have time to tie up in the book itself. -
I also see similarities between Adolin and Lift. They seem to interact with people similarly. I'm not good at putting things into words but there's definitely something there. They're from very different places and walks of life so it makes sense that they don't seem that similar on the surface but when you look deeper I think there's definitely similarity.

He's amazing, but not perfect. Perfect characters are boring.

Cultivation flat out said that she controls the thorns as well. The Edgedancers were considered deadly on the battlefield according to one of the epigraphs. Some may have been peaceful healers but others could be fighters.

The vast majority of people wouldn't have done even as much as Adolin did for that prostitute because they would have considered it not their problem and not wanted to get involved. That's even more true of the subset of people to which Adolin belongs (people with money and privilege). Maybe he could have done more, but what he did was still significant.

[OB] Azure and Nightblood in the Stormlight archives?
CrazyRioter replied to ShardBreaker's question in Cosmere Q&A
We don't know. Brandon has said he might publish that story eventually but it could be quite some time. -
I see no reason why a Lawful Good character cannot be conflicted about morality at times. I think anyone who has a moral code can be conflicted about it at times.
-
With regard to Pattern, his actual name is numbers, Pattern is a nickname for convenience. And Ivory renamed himself after bonding Jasnah to deliver one rude gesture to his people who objected to his choices so his name can't be taken as evidence of the naming conventions of his kind of spren.

Personally I want Rlain to bond the Nightwatcher. Rlain for Bondsmith 2k18.

[OB] On the Varieties of True Spren
CrazyRioter replied to WeiryWriter's topic in Stormlight Archive
It seems pretty obvious that spren pick up the language of their bonded person through the Connection formed between them, we know that spren have their own languages in Shadesmar and many don't speak other languages at all so they'd pretty much have to be picking up the language. It doesn't seem far fetched that Timbre is picking up the Rhythms from Venli as well. -
I would call both Szeth and Nale Lawful Neutral at this point with Szeth leaning more towards Good and Nale towards Evil. Nightblood doesn't really have a proper moral compass and should be viewed as True Neutral in the same way that animals are.

[OB] Spren's Intellect and How it Relates to Power
CrazyRioter replied to MountainKing's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think some spren might have existed even pre-shattering? It seems like spren are just a consequence of the way investiture manifests on Roshar and it's portion of the Cognitive Realm. -
[OB] Why did Szeth ever have an Honorblade?
CrazyRioter replied to Solarserpent's topic in Stormlight Archive
I expect the definitive answer to this question will need to wait for Szeth's flashback book. -
Re: the Skybreaker's Fifth Ideal, it's stated that nobody has reached that point in centuries, implying that it did happen in the past.
-
Yeah I strongly suspect Cultivation got involved with Lift. Lift's...things seem a bit beyond the level the Nightwatcher normally operates on. Cultivation also says that the things the Nightwatcher does are attempts to learn about humans.

My keyboard hates me.

Nightblood doesn't really have a gender identity per se. You could use "they".
-
I'm not sure if I agree with this theory, but you do make some very good arguments. I agree with previous posters that this is one reason why I'd like to see Maya revived. We need an insider view on this.

I think this goes well beyond normal teenager stuff.

[OB] Describe a Character in One Word

[OB] Hoid and the Shards of Adonalsium
CrazyRioter replied to Brightlord Brooding-Eyes's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think we have Word of Brandon that he worked with another shard (I cannot remember which one) to kill Aona and Skai? Or I could be remembering.- 17 replies

[OB] Book 4 Storyline Predictions and Discussions
CrazyRioter replied to TequilaJack's topic in Stormlight Archive
I'm hoping for lots of Rlain (Rlain for Bondsmith 2k17, fight me). More progress for Adolin and Maya (please Sanderson, you have no idea how bad I want this, these two are my platonic OTP of the year). -
and then it can become a Shardbridge.
