I'm surprised the Brandon explicitly stated "Hemalurgy is evil" because, in my opinion it isn't for the same reason Ruin isn't "evil". As a manifestation it is neither good or evil it just is, how people use it another matter. Most of the time hemalurgy is used for evil yes, but what if I'm a misting of considerable power and I want to pass that ability on to my heirs? I say spike me on my death bed, is that evil? I don't think so.

On the animal bodies thing. I interpret that as they are only able to take skeletons from animals (unless directed to to otherwise by Harmony) but they can still make True Bodies in whatever shape they wanted.

The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon
WeiryWriter replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Kelsier is confirmed to be a Sliver after the events of the Mistborn Trilogy. I also believe that he was hanging around in the Cognitive Realm not the Spiritual Realm. -
Brandon has pretty much confirmed Edgedancers being the 4th order. (Keep in mind everything there might not be totally accurate, Peter is double checking with Brandon about the information revealed, but Edgedancers being 4 is certainly correct.)
-
Except Lift shouldn't be able to touch Wyndle, he says it should be impossible. The carrying things... that's something that requires a lot of energy, not all spren can do it. Edit: Basically spren are cognitive identities that manifest in the Physical Realm. Larkins are animals and so are primarily physical.

The metabolizing food into stormlight seems to be unique to Lift, it isn't something all Edgedancers have. Also Blood is the body focus for Shallan's order, the Lightweavers. The Edgedancer, body focus is the Eyes.
-
Also the size, Tai-na are massive, the santhid however is smaller than a boat. And it doesn't have legs.

Common sense, you can touch them.

Certainly, the guys who were selecting the Prime mentioned the previous Primes were all killed by the Assassin in White, i.e. Szeth.

Larkin are not spren.

I'm saying nothing of the sort. The conversation was about sentient spren, not normal spren like windspren. Also, I'm pretty sure no windspren were bonded to Radiants, they are a separate sub-type as honorspren, like Syl. They are cousins of a sort but not the same thing.
-
I think he attributes that to the transition between the Cognitive and Physical Realms. Which makes sense.
-
I believe that some spren, like Syl, lost there memories because they got stuck in the Physical Realm when the Radiants severed their bonds. Without the Nahel bond the spren lost the ability to "think" while in the Physical Realm. Those that were in the Cognitive Realm did not suffer from that problem
-
Larkins also appear in the WoR Rysn Interlude, which is where we find out their name. The crab things on the KR table are Larkins.

Yes.

Actually you do ask. That is implied to be a necessary part of the interaction. She just ignores what people ask for usually but people still have to ask.
-
I'm thinking each order of spren has their own method of choosing bond-mates. Honorspren like Syl seem to do it on an individual basis, each spren choosing a bond-mate for themselves (at least that is how it appears, no mysterious body of honorspren showed up and said "No you can't bond with him"). Likewise I think Ym's spren is in the same boat. She seems very much like Syl in the early days of her bond with Kaladin, she can't remember what is happening or what everything means.
-
I'm definitely of the opinion that most spren think of Cultivation and Honor as their parents, since in a way they are. Most spren are a result of the mingling of their powers which is kind-of like reproduction...
-
I'm half-hoping some strong confident woman lectures Cultivation about how she doesn't need a man and that she should stop moping and do her goddess-ing job.
-
Yah this pretty much confirms Nightwatcher=Cultivation, not that I had any doubts before this. "He" is also probably Tanavast. It makes sense that Cultivation isn't thrilled with humanity since she could blame them for her "lover's" death.
-
Truthspren isn't canon. It was a name Brandon gave us because we wanted something to refer to them but he didn't want to reveal their name yet. Cryptics is what they refer to themselves as in-world. I guess I could see him being a cultivationspren.
-
I've just been referring to him as a "Crystal Vine Spren" since we don't know the name of his sub-type. I'm having a hard time relating him to logicspren though, the appearance is all wrong. Of course appearance could have nothing to do with it. I'm thinking though they will have a somewhat esoteric name like the Cryptics.
-
The Nightwatcher doesn't always gives people what they ask for. She gives them whatever she wants to give them. I'm certain Lift's special "abilities" are a result of the Nightwatcher's, i.e. Cultivation's, meddling. The question is what exactly was her boon and what was her curse?
-
In my opinion The Ring is the ruling body of just the Crystal Vine Spren like Wyndle. I don't really have anything to support it beyond gut feeling though. It is interesting that they might have some influence over when and who spren bond. It certainly sheds new light on things.
