[OB] Who do you think the other Bondsmiths will be?
Dahak replied to teknopathetic's topic in Stormlight Archive
When Dalinar was mystically divining peoples order (Szeth as a Skybreaker) he counted Taln and Ash among the nine. Heavily implying they and Venli have to represent the Stonewards, Releasers and Willshapers between them. I'm going for Navani bonding Uirithru and Rysn bonding the Nightwatcher. Not sure who's going to bond Sja-Anat. -
[OB] Regarding the Secret That Broke The Knights Radiant

Not as definite as I thought but still an implication. -

Or for there to have been multiple influxes of Humans from other worlds. IIRC Brandon implied the Alethi were from Nalthis when talking about peculiar hair behaviour. Plus one of the other groups (I think Irali) have im#megrated via multiple planets. -
Jasnah and Shallan both had bits that implied they may have had plate in the battle at Thaylen City. Plus Amaran had his in his fight with Kaladin.

We've been told you can bond multiple spren, but of course it makes advancing as a Knight Radient harder since you have to keep both sets of Ideals. Based on Re-shepir trying to bond with Shallan, that leaves the question what ideals would be suitable for Sja-anat. Because she fits into the forlorn people that the first two Edgedance specific oaths reference, Though it might be easier for her to bond with Rlain.

Roy Mustang and Alex Louis Armstrong would like me to remind you there are ways of using transmutation to send people flying. The Flame Alchemist is notorious for transmuting air into thermobaric explosives and the Strong Arm Alchemist has been known to transmute air into high velocity rocks as a form of extreme punching.

[OB] Speculations on the title of book four.
Dahak replied to Turnblade Jade's topic in Stormlight Archive
Depends on which periods of her life the flashbacks hit. ISTR Eshonai suggesting that the period she was female was unusually exciting. -
Reacher is IIRC another name for Lightspren.
-
There is at least one soulcaster(as in device) on Roshar that can make aluminium. Lin gave Shallan anecklace of it and the gamblers her brother owes aren't particularlly impressed by its value.

At one point she thinks that her awesomeness disappears after several hours. That was in Edgedancer IIRC.
-
Those merely place an upper bound. We don't actually know what is necessary except that Shallan exceeds it. Based on the other systems we know have this requirement (Allomancy, Feruchemy) Adolin probably experienced sufficient stress when his Rhyshandium died. And since bonding those are spren bonds that suggests he was already sufficiently broken before that.
-
I think Lopen might pursuade Jasnah it is logical to have fun. At which point she'll conclude Rushu is a better romantic partner for her than him.
-
While I'm reasonably sure Jasnah got those picturesfrom Hoid. Shallan did go and see Taln at Mraize's instructions. Iyatil pretended to be mad.
-
According to Kaza. It's where Soulcasters came from.
-
There's a point in chapter 102 where describing Cultivation spren, Kaladin thinks they look like Maya.
-
Wouldn't ressurect until the wielder achieved the appropriate Ideals I think, since IIRC we have a WoB that that's necessary. But it would clear the apparent other requirement of requiring Connection. At least it would every nine days or so. Might require Adolin and anyone else trying to restore a blade to walk out into the Everstorm and shout the first three ideals at the storm. Then of course once the Spren is sentient again it can choose to disconnect (Like both Syl and Pattern have offered to do) if it doesn't like its wielders ability to comply with the Oaths. Syl remember got in trouble because she overstretched her bond to Kaladin to save him.
-
We have a bondsmith who can manipulate Connection and other stuff and the Everstorm that provides Connection to people who've lost it among other uses. I wonder if Dalinar might combine those two and a bit of his rulebreaking badassitude to hack the Everstorm to provide a suitable Connectioon between dead shardblades and their bonded wielders. Why help restore Maya directly when he can set up a mechanism to restore, over time, all the deadeyes.

[OB] Full Book Reactions / Full Spoilers Thread
Dahak replied to Chaos's topic in Stormlight Archive
He was there at the big glowing practice. Rock sent Renarin over to keep him company. -
Shattering of Honor I suspect. Though I also suspect that was ongoing when the Recreance happened. It is supposed to be a long drawn out process.

[OB] Identifying those spoiler-free reactions
Dahak replied to Necessary Eagle's topic in Stormlight Archive
Lopen sticking himself to the ground. Maya on the Lightspren's ship. -
For Skybreakers. Who don't bond spren until several oaths in. IIRC we have a WoB that Shardblades aren't always 3rd oath.

[OB] [Oathbringer Spoilers] Soulcaster side effects
Dahak replied to iamstick's topic in Stormlight Archive
Vines. Each of the veterean soulcasters appeared to be becoming more like the relevant Nahel Spren for the polestone required. So I suspect they become Baby Nahel Spren when they hit peak transformation. -
Something awfully like Timbre was following Eshonai around in the previous book. Occam's Razor suggest it was Timbre.

Dahak replied to Chaos's topic in Stormlight Archive
We were told Brandon doesn't feel it necessary for a flashback character to be alive in the book they have flashbacks. -
So far they have. Which means he could become Lift's squire. No. She takes specific snap-shot images and they fade after she draws them. She mentions at one point they put a pressure on her to draw them. Elsewhere she mentions that unusually she can draw a perfect image of Jasnah killing muggers desppite not having taken a Memory.
