Oversleep

MAG's extrapolations are best considered uncanon

It has been confirmed to be vaporware month ago:

It's not a widely known thing but what gives us our Cosmere knowledge is eating special 17thShard cookies. You want one? I have one to spare...

GET HYPED

Palenu... Pelanu... Pul... Paealeaunaeoum is the name of the software powering WoBinator 4000

The storms kinda missed me. Either they have gone around me or disappeared

IIRC it is a shout out to someone real. Like the Yoshins.

The Everstorm comes. I hear its whispers, see its stormwall, know its heart. I'm somewhere in that blue dot. The orange crosses are the lightning strikes. The brighter yellow, the more recent the strike was.

That's from Kraków (transcript in the first post).

Nice WoB-bringing.

I find it funny when people use "most likely" when talking about some theory they have with literally zero proof.

Novebringer!

Why are the Heralds mirrored?

Do you know how I got these scars that name?

Nope. They are limited by distance. Also: Brandon has refered to Cognitive Shadows as beings of pure Investiture or talked about existing through Investiture and things like that. You can still disagree of course but I'll take Brandon's word on that one Willshapers shape will, Stonewardens keep watch of rocks, Edgedancers dance on the edges... the names are poetic, Bondsmiths unite and bring people together, one of their Surges makes things stick to each other. I think you're reading a bit too much into those names. Still, I don't believe a Shard could make such a major change to the magic system (we'll have to disagree on whether it's big change or not but it's not me who is arguing those Oaths condemn everyone to eternal suffering...) on a world they did not create, much less a human, no matter how experienced and special he is.

Who was it that asked me about the quality of translations of Witcher books? @Briar King? https://witcher.gamepedia.com/The_Witcher_(short_story)?fref=gc#Translations Also I asked around and found soem opinions. It seems that David French translates the best, Michael Kandel takes way too many liberties, Danusia Stok is meh but better than Agnieszka Fulińska. "Sword of Destiny" is said to be translated well. From what I've heard the pentalogy is translated by Stok (Blood of Elves) and French (the rest).

I'll look if we have any WoB on that but please take a look at Stormfather. If spren merged with their Radiants he would be gone by now, even if you pull "he's a big spren and they could just take pieces". There were multiple Bondsmiths in history. I mean, they would know how death normally looks like (stretching into Beyond) and that it doesn't happen with Radiants. We're latching too much one a single sentence of theorizing Khriss does. Even when she states things she have been wrong before and here she's just theorizing (which is a thing scholars do). And the explanation that a human could just rewrite how magic works when even Shards have limited ability to make changes in their magic (and that was a planet which was made by them and they had more leeway) has never made any sense to me. (Mistborn Era Two) I just don't buy that anyone - not even Honor and Cultivation themselves - could make such big changes in the magic. And one can be individualistic and still take orders. They're not anarchists. What? What is "obvious" about Shardplate? What are you talking about? That WoB has been interpreted in a million different ways and has been a source of many big arguments. I refuse to simply go with the "seons grant powers on Roshar" thing, I have been burned by that before. Don't believe then. Check the postscriptum in Arcanum Unbounded. When working on First of the Sun Brandon has been interested by "a symbiosis (of new kind) for Investiture". Yep. Symbiosis. Just like Roshar.

Eh. Spren do not remain bonded after their Radiant dies. Therefore there is nothing Radiants remaind bound to. If the Radiants after death remained instead of moving Beyond they would know it very soon: after all, there are three orders capable of seeing into Shadesmar (and one of them can step fully into it). The Cognitive Shadows on Braize are probably Heralds. Or something else. Khriss is just theorizing: I am very much against that whole thing about Ishar making Oaths. It makes zero sense and that epigraph is talking about something else entirely: is him just making organization. No more rogue Surgebinders scattered around the globe. Now we're making you into Orders with hierarchy so that you could operate more efficiently (many great warriors scattered around is nothing to be afraid of; but a military force? That's something very effective, as Romans and their legions taught us). Furthermore they agreed to be bound by external laws - so that they are not above the laws of other kingdoms. Source. Seons, Splinters of Devotion from Elantris, can grant powers if they go to Roshar. those bolded sentences mean very different things. The thing is, the Radiant spren are a mixture of Honor (oaths/bonds) and Cultivation (symbiosis). Therefore bonding such entity has different effects than bonding a splinter of Devotion or Endowment. And that's why Rosharan splinters do grant powers while others, like Seons, do not. Unless brought to Roshar and some tempering with the magic. At this point I want to remind that the "Nightblood grants Surges" thing is just a theory. For another place with bonds granting the powers look at First of the Sun. Therefore I find all of this very unlikely.

However... (same spoilers)

I feel she would be irritated and point out that's not how faith works.

Hey, the Brain Bleach Discord is leaking!

Few more things: Does he? I'm not disagreeing, I just don't remember whether he considers it his curse. Worth mentioning - of course, if I recall correctly - that Lift is closer to Cognitive than people usually are. That's why she can touch Wyndle; perhaps that's why she can metabolise into Stormlight as well.

I think he could make some exceptions... (source)

And he could troll people on the internet...
