Connection is a fondamental Cosmere's Constant everywhere. The whole Spiritual level works mostly out of Connections. Returning to the Squires. The Squire's bond operate really similar to the Radiant's One. People enough connected to the Radiant could become his Squire and gain mostly the benefit of a Surgebinder. As the Radiants's bond loses if the Spren go too far away. In the same way a Squire loses his Power if the Radiant ho too far. But this isn't a "every Radiant around is fine if my Radiant is away"

A simple error of mine, I don't know how...but I switched you with Ari and I was answering to you (Ari), Well yeah, it's possible to be the opposite, but watching on how the Odium's agents work (the Heart of the Rever and the Fused) I think the Passion is something intimate related to the power itself rather than the Vessel

@Calderis I simply believe Frost's words are more loose than we thought before OB. It's possible that Rayse's Shard incapsulates Extreme emotions (what I called Passion before) at all and in this he also carries God's divine wrath with it. It's a shard of extremes, Maybe I have to considerate this better, but I assume it's a plausible hypotesis

I think the Shard iself is Passion but Rayse's attitude push the Shard into the Odium-like status we see. Odium himself stated that his name is fitting but not too much of what he is. Notice the Shard's names aren't set into Stone. Someone decided to call a Shard in a certain way, for example we have Harmony and a WoB saying he could have another name if the Vessel was not so good to balance the two parts

This doesn't mean he would be able to use Stormlight to Awaken. He had to figure how, It's not an automatic thing as the best Awakener around didn't figure the way yet. For now I still believe the StormAwakening has mostly pratical problems rather than theoric ones. Stormlight isn't sticky while the Breaths are. You could probably Awaken stuff with Stormlight but the object can't hold It for more than seconds...but It's only a speculation

First of all because Vasher is probably the best Awakener around and a Scholar in the Investiture. He knows Stormlight for centuries and he stable lives on Roshar from decades. Azure comed to Roshar only a year before the current events and she was quite soon trapped by the Kholinar's events. She is never depicted with Stormlight on her and she is surrounded from a decent part of the book by people who could sense Stormlight. I believe it's enough to assume she isn't able to figure how Awaken with Stormlight. We can't be sure...but I can't honestly say that both possibilities are equal likely

I believe Renarin has the standard Truthwatcher's Powers. Glys is Corrupted by Odium but this doesn't change the Spren's Power. Glys doesn't become a Voidspren Just for be' Enlighted. Probably the whole Renarin got from this is a bit Shade of Odium Who allow him ti twist a bit his Surgebinding...mainly the Resonance. Venli too has not bot voidbinding and Surgebinding (but It's closer than Renarin) as the Regals doesn't have Voidbinding

And that is what happens to someone who unshelth partially Nightblood (that start to feed of the Soul but without his full intensity). Maybe you could remember a priest from Warbreaker who hide his arm because helding Nightblood made it lose all color and become greyish. About Azure's sword's spren...probably the Sword sees itself as a Sword. it is surelly aware enough to have a proper mind and therefore has an active role in shaping his own Cognitive Aspect. About the "everything has a spren" this is extremely false, it's a common knowledge in Roshar, but it's false

She has to be an Awakener with the Royal Locks with a Type-4 Entity and with her background of mistrust and duty avoided.

Azure is on Roshar only for an year, she know the same Kata Adolin and Kaladin know and They are both trained by Zahel into swordplay. Honestly, I don't believe Brandon could point to her as Vivenna without making her say "Hi, my name is Vivenna"...In her scenes she gives every kind of clue about her origin and status and magical ability and connections to vasher. We knew also (for more than an year) that Vivenna is on Roshar to find Vasher

Honestly I don't see the actual link between Bavadin and First of the Sun. I also believe we have a WoB about the Eye as a natural manifestation

It's possible the Humans comes from Braize and Odium was and remained in Braize. He could begin to be' connected with Roshar when the Humans Who were already connected to him, setted to Roshar After Braize was devastated

Well this is hard the case where gods could foretell the future. Actually Will be extremely stupid if Cultivation didn't set in long term plans aganist Odium.

The wounds' description fit with the lesser effect of Nightblood and no with a regular Sprenblade's effect (no burning eyes)

Also, it's unlikely for Vivenna to have gathered so much Breath to be able to awaken Steel...but unlikely and impossible are two different stuffs, so who knows ?

Honestly at the first I thought it was Timbre. But actually it's more plausible it was Odium to preserve her as Envoy. If it was an enemy, the Fused would simply report her and she will be killed....but if the boss stops you, you accept it and don't create trouble

Explicity stated no...But how many Shapeshifting's Awakeners from noble blood who runned away from their responsabilities and trained by Vasher do we know ? And how many of them have the exact same purpose of Vivenna ? XD

We have a WoB of entire pantheons made of Bavadin herself and we have a Khriss' comment about how ironic is the isolationistic Taldain's policy imposed by her while she did quite the opposite

I edited the previous message, I switched the Letters in my mind.

Letter2's Shard is mostly Autonomy as she is actually the only possible candidate

Well the Shard seems to be surprised on Hoid be able to figure the planet where he/she is. Cultivation is on Roshar by public knowledge. Also the Shard seems to be not interested in Rayse and ....well Cultivation is not so indifferent to him. Lastly the "we" used by the Shard to talk about herself is hardly linkable on what we know of Cultivation (but this last thing is really debatable), Hoid seems to have sent the Letter to an individual among a group (or a persona among a moltitude of personalities) and another one actually recived it and answered...This point quite directly to Bavadin as Cultivation exibit not this trat and much more, she is the only possible reciver on Roshar

Yeah the Seon and Skaze (Splinters of Devotion and Dominion) are respectly white and black orbs (well actually they are glowing symbols who irradiates white/black radiancy....)

Yeah the black/white associations will probably happen on multiple Shardworlds with a couple of Shards with opposite attiture. For example Sel had this same stuff around with D&D

I will not answer to your actual question, I will simply explain you how the death works in the Cosmere and then you could find your answers. When someone dies, his three aspects (physical, Cognitive and Spiritual) began to be severed by each other. this guy has a relative small timeframe (we are talking of seconds/minutes) where he pops up in the Cognitive Realms. This timeframe will last longer for people with powers but not too much. After this timeframe is over, the Mind&Soul are completelly severed by the Physical and when this happens a pull the dead feel from his first istant loses his opponent and the Mind&Soul will continue their travel to the Realms...reaching the Beyond. The Beyond is (as the name suggests) a location beyond the three Realms and even the Shards (or at least Sazed) are unable to reach it. This will not answer to your question, but at least it will give you the bases to think about your question in the rightful way EDIT: I didn't notice this was your first post on the Shard. Welcome

First of all, for now the only confirmed use of Nicrosil-Feruchemy is storing/tapping the Innate Investiture. But for hypotesis, we will assume you could store Kinetic Investiture too. In this context, you still will need to have be able to access that Investiture in the first place. For example, you will not be able to "store the Mists" unless you are able to tap them.
