Pattern: Why does Pattern show up as a symbolhead in WoK, but suddenly starts manifesting as a pattern in WoR? Is it because Shallan's bond strengthened to the point that Pattern was drawn more into the Physical Realm? Also, in the flashbacks Pattern was drawn into the Physical Realm enough to become a Shardblade, so did Shallan's refusal to acknowledge Pattern or her memories cause him to lose his connection to the Physical Realm and return to Shadesmar before the start of WoK? And why did Shallan's drawings in WoK show multiple Cryptics?
SA3 spoilers:
My answer to this is part conjecture and part observation. We see right after the ship wreck that Pattern still appears as a symbol head when in the cognitive realm, I think when Shallan was drawing them originally it was the result of partially looking into Shadesmar much the same way as Kaladin did the first time he performed a basic lashing and run up the side of a chasm.
It's also possible that Patterns nature changes significantly between the physical and cognitive realms. The only example we have of this occurring though is with painspren in the snippet we see of Jasnah stepping fully into Shadesmar when Ivory refers to painspren as Grinders and states “On your side, harmless. Here, harmmore. Very harmmore."

Alethi Font and Transliterator Re-launch
in Stormlight Archive
Posted · Edited by IsaEirias
Just found this and a bit late to the game but I'm a total noob with programming (I do great with fixing Hardware problems but I have buddies to help with anything beyond general software issues). I tried following Turos's Guide for setting up the Transliterator with a batch file and all I get is a prompt window that opens for a fraction of a second and then closes faster than I can read any of the words. Some help or pointers on what I botched would be helpful. All I did for renaming the actual .txt file was open it from my download folder with notepad++ and save it to my desktop as a .java file of the same name so I don't think that's the issue- here' the code I have for the batch file:
Edit: Yes I realize I'm dabbling in necromancy posting here, I haven't found a more recent version of the thread and really hope the project hasn't been abandoned.
