Thanks @Procrastinationspren! I don't know necessarily about voidblades, since we don't actually know if Voidspren would willingly initiate a bond with a Human... Remember, for the Parsh to change forms, the spren enter their gemheart to form a symbiotic relationship, so as far as we know they can't be summoned to blade form. Also, based on the couple of voidspren we HAVE seen, they don't need the bond to attain sapience which is hella-weird.... That being said, I do have to wonder if the Fused could use the Voidspren in that way... We see with Eshonai that Listeners can use Shardblades (albeit the dead blades, but there's still some kind of bond there....) and later with Venli she essentially has two spren in her gemheart and we don't know yet what she can do with it other than suppress one as needed.

@Willowah yes, that's right! I couldn't remember what jogged my noggin about it, but that was probably it! Definitely some excellent foreshadowing there @Calderis glad I'm not the only one thinking along those lines, then! It will be interesting to see what ramifications there are/will be throughout the rest of the Cosmere if that's true

I haven't seen this posted anywhere else, yet, so if it has been, please let me know. So I've been thinking a lot about this recently, and I'm not sure if I've stumbled across something incredibly mundane, or perhaps game-changing when it comes to Roshar, Shardblades, Spren, and the Cosmere at large. I am, of course, speaking about Glys. More specifically his form as a shardblade. When Renarin shows Adolin his Glysblade for the first time, it is described as having a rippled look to the metal, and it's shape is similar to that of a katana. "He took a deep breath, then stretched his hand to the side and summoned a long glowing Shardblade. Thin, with almost no crossguard, it had waving folds to the metal, like it had been forged." In real life, those ripples come from the forging process of folding and re-folding the metal multiple times. I'm wondering if Glys's nature as being Sja-Anat's "son", the fact that he is a corrupted Truthwatcher Spren, is why his blade looks like it was forged, instead of the typical smooth look most Shardblades have. I could be on to nothing with this, but it seems to me that Glys would be considered "co-opted investiture", and that perhaps in metallic form, corrupted investiture would appear like two different metals forged into one, i.e. the ripple effect.

Buy. All guns on Scadrial will be known as bang-bangs

Buy. Zahel will finally reveal himself as being a Worldhopper of great power, and will provide his Awakening skills to Dalinar and co. This results in millions of tiny crem figures being Awakened to become an army (and Adolin is able to re-use all the discarded rags he finds to create fashionable outfits for every. single. one.). Because of the nature of the Awakened army, Dalinar is able to bring it into a vision from the Stormfather, and launches an assault on Odium when he inevitably tries to break into the vision. Roshar is freed, and Odium is defeated.

So I was just browsing Brandon's website today, as one does, and I came across a new "status bar" he has set up underneath Oathbringer, simply titled "Secret Project". Anyone have an idea what this could be??

And Sigzil's moment of apoplexy when he realizes there aren't any forms to fill out for this, either! The horror!!

OMG, as Lift would say, this chapter is so STORMING Awesome! I had a fit of giggles just reading her interactions with Dalinar and Gawx in the dream - tight butt indeed! Also, Jasnah had a bout of craziness when she was younger?!? Colour me intrigued...very, very intrigued....

Did the Recreance occur at the same time as when the Final Legion of the Listeners chose Dull Form? I can't remember if there is any WoB about this, and I am curious whether these two events are related...

@Stark, that was Rawesome! 400 Squires!!

Also, if the heart becomes too big, it looses efficiency, so it isn't pumping as much blood with each beat, but is pumping with more pressure. This results in a more rapid heart beat and increased blood pressure, which can result in a heart attack

But we don't even know what size his hands are!!

The best part about this, is that I read it all in the same hard-core voice as that particular video....and it was Glorious!!

A plan to kill Lift, what a fail Darkness, the Herald named Nale He's not going to go far, 'Cause in Soviet Roshar, The head hits you on the nail

So we come full circle, and with Trolls destroyed, and hoidblood in existence, the internet implodes...

Nope, no coal mole to keep your goal, but a fine mine so we can dine ... ... This has gone way past my initial Robin Hood: Men in Tights reference...

Well, a Troll is a Troll. And a toll is a toll. So if we don't kill them Trolls, then we don't get those tolls...

*leaves to check on brewing barrels in back*

I actually wonder if the whole spilling blood thing has any link to Hemalurgy, where the magic system is predicated on flowing blood being a link to a person's innate investiture...

Well, my friend, let's just say my job is the human side of health and safety/engineering - here is a link to one of the Associations I belong to: https://www.ace-ergocanada.ca/about/about_ergonomics/ergonomics.html Or, in Limerick form: Oft asked, what is an ergonomist To tell all would make such a list Suffice it so say That I spend all my day Avoiding every bend and twist

I work as an Ergonomist By day, I check off my list It's so easy to see how different it'd be If we all had access to the Mist

Unless you are in Soviet Sel...
