She also uses Progression to grow plants to use as handholds in her first interlude.

Is it going to be the party? As in again? This is going to get tiring reading the same events 7 more times. It would not likely be Dalinar (how do you hide spoilers?) as he would be like, Gav said to keep to the codes tonight, gunna drink anyway. 

Gavilar most likely, seeing as we now know (spoilers again but not really) what the anti glow stone was/is. 

We're only going to see that party twice more: once for Eshonai's book, and once for Stones Unhallowed (Szeth's book).  There's a WoB that I don't have time to dig out atm.  EDIT: Never mind, it's higher up the thread.  

I'm not convinced that Nightblood would ping off the Hulk.  (He says without having seen Thor:Ragnarok) Iron Man might be the best fit for what Nightblood considers "evil", but much like the fugitive in OB, Tony Stark wouldn't be thinking that way in a cage-match scenario.

SPOILER ALERT

Sorry, but: Please keep in mind that those are Oathbringer spoilers and as such, your topic should have the [OB] tag on it so we know. That way, people who haven't read it won't get spoilers such as those, if you can find a way to edit the post.

(using spoiler tags for big OB spoilers in case anyone who hasn't read it accidentally wanders on before this change is made:)

 

The spoiler tag button is the eye.  You may have misclicked on the quote button.

You should be able to recharge the sand with any investiture, actually. So yes. 

We've actually seen that process used in other books, actually.  Stormlight spoilers:

That first quote says that Shan Elariel has "long dark hair," not black.  "Auburn" is a pretty wide range of red shades.  I don't see any reason why the two are mutually exclusive.

Spoiler

He could be the source of the blade Azure(Vivenna) had. 

 

 

To produce spoiler boxes, press the eye icon in the post editor.  Welcome to the Shard!  

That is certainly plausible, although I suspect Hoid's antipathy for Bavadin runs far deeper than "She's keeping me from getting my favorite food!"  It is a good first theory, though.  Welcome to the Shard!

For future reference: the eye icon, when writing a new post, creates a spoiler box.  Very handy.  Like so:

Lift often mention to be ten years old from three years because she doesn't want to admit she is growing up. In a scene we have also the direct prove of her growing up, in that scene she had her first period and this make her freaking out a bit. 

It's implied that her first period is what triggered her run to Yeddaw, but we don't see it on-screen.

I would chose "Ambition". 

A Question: What if a person with no ambition in life has the shard "Ambition".

The Shard would cause them to find something to work toward.

You see several times in Oathbringer that Odium is very, unusually specific about keeping to the letter AND intent of his agreements.  First with Dalinar, actually warning him off making a bad decision in the first visited vision.  He doensn't let Dalinar let him leave free and clear.  He, for some reason, advises him against it.    The second time is near the end, when he makes it overwhelmingly clear he will stick to the spirit of his deal with Taravangian.   

Is he, though? Oathbringer spoilers in the box:

Granted a history of abuse and being gay are not mutually exclusive and we have seen that the Alethi are open to alternative sexualities (does that count as a OB spoiler?)

I think that's been a WoB, so technically no.

Yeah, and the individual safety devices in the skyships will probably take the form of a fall-slow-rial and not be easily confused with knapsacks. It's an old joke, and something is lost in the adaptation.

I was referring to the fact that both Lift and Dalinar are (technically) Radiants.  And therefore have a healing factor.

The sky ship is on fire and going down. The last three passengers are Dalinar, Lift, and Taravangian. There are only two parachutes.

Taravangian: I am the smartest man in the world, and even if I were inclined to give up my spot for one of you simpletons, the greater good demands that I save myself! Wheeee!

Lift: Noooo!

Dalinar: Child, go. I have lived a full life. Tell Navani....

Lift: You're gonna be fine, tight butt. The smartest man in the world just jumped with my starvin' lunch!

Lift: Also, can't you heal?

I think all of this suggests that Honor purposefully imbued the Stormfather with a significant portion of his power before his death. Maybe Honor and Cultivation had a plan much like Preservation had one in Mistborn.

Oh, H+C definitely have a plan.  Even if Honor didn't make one, Cultivation certainly did.  Now how much of that plan is still in play, or is yet to come, is probably only known to Cultivation, but still, if Preservation can outplan his counterpart while mad and dying, Cultivation is more than a match for Odium while sane.

Is Harmony counted as a shard that could be chosen? I know that there is a WoB that says that Brandon counts them as two shards.

Two shards that are now inextricably linked, also by WoB.  

Quote

Thanatos17901

If Sazed were to die, would he drop the Shards Ruin and Preservation, or would he drop the Shard Harmony?

Brandon Sanderson

Excellent question. The shards are now intermingled, and would take effort to split apart. He would drop Harmony. (This is what Odium feared would happen, by the way.)

Wait, what about Saphira???

Dies to Shardblade like any chasmfiend.  Fire breath can be mitigated by Stormlight, flight removed via Lashings (of either variety, although the one-two punch of Partial Lashing to disorientate, then Full Lashing to stick Saphira to the ground would be highly effective in this regard).  The eldunari might be an issue, as it is basically a gemheart with Saphira's innate Investiture inside, but that's one point of difficulty inside a giant shell of scaly meat.

Wow, I'd never seen this before.  I don't know if this makes me like Rayse more, or Hoid less.

Well, I can think of at least 4 reasons why Hoid and Rayse might have had a falling-out.  

Quote

Alaxel (Paraphrased)

He asked for "Something juicy about Odium that no one knows about yet."

Brandon Sanderson

Odium and Hoid were once friends.

We have a WoB.  (OMG Arcanum is so much better for this!) EDIT: Sneaky ninjas!

I can't link things on my phone, but the thread entitled "Ookla Season Cometh" has your answers.

Also, Kaladin is just about the most passionate person we've seen so far, with a lot of intense emotions.  But Odium can't seem to lay a finger on him.

Mainly because Odium wants people to give him their emotions, and Kaladin couldn't give up his emotions if his life depended on it.

Aether of Night as written is definitely not canon, but it very much so seems he wants to include the magic system.  Spoiler for Oathbringer.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

At one point in the book Mraize commends his essentially dry cleaner for being able to remove Aether from his jacket? shirt?  I can't remember exactly, but that again shows that Brandon wants the magic system to exist in some form or fashion.

 

OB spoilers:

I don't know why she hasn't thought of how she could use her abilities to get infinite free meals from people. Injured people could just come to her with food. She'd put all of Kharbranth out of business and be fed constantly. Sounds like heaven.

She'd be a sort of itinerant doctor, that heals people that are bedridden/crippled/whatever in exchange for them cooking her meals.  (She'd be a lot happier doing that than sitting in an office all day being brought food and miserable people)

Spoiler

6)Lopen does not seem to hate, or have strong negative feelings against anyone.  How will this affect his Third Ideal - "I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right?"  I know there is some variation and personalization from Radiant to Radiant, but the core of the ideal seems to remain the same.  Swearing to protect those you hate when you do not seem to hate at all seems facetious.  How will he manage this, or will he be stuck at two ideals until he finds someone to hate?

 

22 minutes ago, Ookla the Altruist said:

This question right here. Please!

If I had to hazard a guess, that particular ideal would morph into something along the lines of "I will protect those that don't deserve it, if the need is there."
