Keep in mind, we don't yet know if that was due to: Radiant heeling Progression/Regrowth (due to being a Truthwatcher) Something about having an Enlightened Spren changing his healing

BS is being very close-hold with pretty much all of the spiritual quadrant Feruchemy, because it is spoilers for Era 3. WoB:

This has been mostly debunked But mostly the timeline doesn't add up: the False Desolation occurred around the same time as the Recreance--about 2,000 years prior to the present day Hoid's story tells us “Those are the events we focus upon, the ones men know the best. To speak only of them, however, is to ignore the history of three hundred years that led up to them" so Vo and the foudning of halandren was 300 years before the Manywar (Warbreaker Ch 32) The Manywar was a global conflict on Nalthis that involved the nations of Hanald (the original name of Hallandren), Kuth, Huth, Pahn Kahl, Tedradel, and Gys.[2] It occurred about three hundred years before the Pahn Kahl rebellion (Coppermind excerpt) “Five kings,” she said. “In three hundred years?” (Warbreaker Ch 32) Siri mentioning how long it has been since Idris split from Hallendren at the end of the Manywar So, if it has only been 600 years since Vo, the First Returned and Vasher returned sometime between that and the Manywar (300 yrs ago); then Vasher could not have visited Roshar before the Recreance (2000 yrs ago).

The corollary here is that he could also be nudging his shots to hit correctly. Given W -> B -> T, if that is a direct straight path from his center-mass the bullet would have no change in trajectory; but if there is, for example, a 1 degree shift in his center mass down, then the bullet trajectory should shift 1 degree up. So his bullet pushes may not just be to push them faster, but to compensate any target shifts with minor changes to bullet trajectory.

Understood. I wasn't trying to say Shardplate was ineffectual, I was just trying to point out that it might not be as resilietn as the first response implied. After all, normally armor that is good against sharps and blunts is notoriously bad at pretecting from firearms; and armor good at prtectign against firearms (kevlar) is notoriously bad against sharps and blunts. My first response was simply an instincual response (no math) that, for example, if a spear shaft cracked plate (Kaladin breaking Elit's helm), even if it was a Stormlight backed strike; then it seems logical that a bullet would at least crack plate as well. Just trying to add data to the discussion.

Isn't that what I said? "two or three [with a possibiity] of one, with the right shot, the right bullet, in the right moment" seems about the same as "would at least crack plate, if not push through entirely" to me.

Well, I thinkthat living plate and dead plate would also have differences. Also, the amount of stormlight in the gems of dead plate may be a factor (since it should add resiliency - which implies the question "Does plate need multiple hits to crack, not just because of how strong it is but because the light has to be leaking before it will break entirely?").

Unless, of course, that while breath itself is unkeyed/unsealed the traits being added to one or more breaths may still be keyed and sealed. It may be that traits can only be passed to Awakened ojects (and possibly Lifeless) who, by their nature, should share the Awakener's signature. Not disagreeing, just adding considerations for discussion.

I'm not sure that's true. If Roshar's freefall accelleration is 6.86m/s^2, and Kal using a triple lashing (so approx 20.58m/sec) "fell" about 1-2m into Relis and cracked his plate, then it's possible that the "firearms" (depending on bullet mass and speed achieved) would at least crack plate, if not push throughit entirely. If it did breach the plate, it would probably lose so much speed and energy that it would not pierce the other side (if it did pierce the entire body) which could cause even more damage.

Yes, 4 events, three "sightings," but they were merely present - no mention of spying. RoW Epilogue

That makes me wonder if the method of gaining a body in the physical realm impacts if/how much investiture needed to be consumed to retain that body. Have we seen any evidence that Helalds need to consume Stormlight to remain in their physical shells?

Where was this? As I recall Enlightened Windspren were in RoW three times: When Shallan lies about seeing one on the barge in Shadesmar (she said they were spying, but it was a lie) Mraize furhter propagates the lie that Enlightened spren are acting as spies When Sja-Anat sent two to Urithiru as cover for the Enlightened Mistspren that was supposed to look at Mraize, but bonded Rlain Again she said they were going to look at the tower, but it was a diversion When she sent two in spheres to Taravangian to lure Odium there In none of those instances are Windspren actually acting as spies, so we have no evidence that they can. Sja Anat implies she can see their memories when they return to her (by saying Odium would unmake their memories) - but all evidence so far for Windspren (enlightened or not) was that their memories and attention are fickle and short at best. Did I miss something else?

I don't think Savantism is involved. As Raboniel explains - humans (not native to Roshar) leak light. However Singers (native to Roshar) do not leak - so as long as the investiture stays inside the body (Lashing yourself to float, Melding Axi to the floor), it isn't consumed - except when spent to "change" such as healing. That's why the Pursuer uses so much light he can only use the Surge of Transportation three times before needing more light (light consumed to leave a husk and move elsewhere). Same with the Masked ones, where light is consumed in the illusion; but for a Heavenly One, light is only consumed when lashing something/someone else, using a reverse lashing, or healing.

Here's the relevant WoB: Note that it is not really about "is this hereditary" - the question was much more specific (which probably drew the RAFO). Also this about Heterochromia. Since, in a mundane fashion, eye color is still a normal genetic trait, I'm sure that over the millennia the Vorin nobility has been "breeding" for eye color. That said, *if* Shards affect the genetic make-up for eye color in a way that is inheritable, I would guess that only applies to living blades, not Deadeyes (since there is no Nahel bond with a Deadeye, just a fabrial based false-bond)

Here is the WoB that deals with your specific question, as answered by @Dunkum For example, if a Steel Runner tried storing 100% of their speed, heart and lung function would stop (anything with muscle movement). . . with the predictable result. More Here

Looks like I had Edgedancer wrong - I found in the Coppermind: But you were right that Abrobadar's blade that Moash receives has a vine pattern: So either the Edgedancer "clear" color manifests as a lightening effect with Deadeye blades, or Moash didn't have the blade long enough for his eyes to finish changing color. Unless, of course, non-CultivationSpren blades also sometimes have vine patterns.

This is unlikely. The bond changes eyes based on the blade's spren: Kaladin has dark brown eyes (faintly amber when glowing with Stormlight) until the third ideal, when they become blue because Syl is an Honorspren. But the always revert backif he goes too long without using the Sylblade. Moash, whose brown eyes become a light Tan after bonding his blade also has his eyes revert after the blade is taken from him. Note: they become tan not because they are lightened from brown, but because the blade is a deadeye from whichever order is associated with that color. Likely Stonewards and Topaz AFAIK, the only confirmed Connections are: WoB

Warbreaker Annotations Ch 3 I would guess this is a RAFO, but there do not seem to be any indications that investiture other than breath would be transfered when receiving a breath upon which to feed. As far as "consuming more" is concerned, the act of consuming a breath to maintain "life" does not seem to be voluntary so I can't see how they would consume two (or more). Also, there is no indication that the consumed breaths affect their spirit web or total investiture. I see it more as: Person A has a normal breath, Person B might be in great shape (runs marathons, eats right, whatever) and has a vibrant breath, Person C has allergies and some health problems and has a less vibrant breath. On any give "feast day" when each (in successive weeks) donate that breath (they all only have 1 breath - the breath just has a quality in addition to quantity) then the Returned receiving that breath feels the same (or similar) as the person who donated it (before dontation of course). That "quality" becomes the Returned's breath "quality" until the next week when another is consumed - but that quality is not actually changing any investiture levels or spirit web attributes.

Here are some ideas for which I can provide recipes and/or links - though most can also be easily searched on Wikipedia or cooking sites Women's food Kabuli Palau A version of Rice Pilaf named after Kabul Afghanistan. Basmati rice (preferably Afghan Rice) is soaked for an hour, then rinsed to remove excess starch before cooking in stock. Then, what sets this apart, raisins are rehydrated in stock, then cooked with carrot and almond slivers in oil and sugar/honey. The rice is put into a dish and topped with the carrot mix and finished in the oven. Qorma Can use any preferred meat, but mutton/lamb is how I learned the dish. It's a type of curry where the meat is seared on high heat, then you add the vegetables, fruit (raisins or dates if desired),a minimum of liquid and yogurt and braise to desired doneness. Mild Tom Kha Gai Thai coconut curry soup. Gai means chicken, and you can make with other proteins (e.g. Shimp is Tom Kha Goong) but the soup is primarily galangal (which you may approximate with ginger), lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and coconut milk. Pumpkin Cookies Moist, slightly sweet pumpkin cookies, with or without additions (nuts, chips, etc.), make a good desert option Men's Food Katsu Curry A Japanese curry that can be made as spicy as you want; typified by a fried cutlet (usually pork or chicken) in a curry sauce (with or without vegetables) and topped as desired (diced hard-boiled egg, or fried garlic are common). Served with rice. Spiced Wings/Nuggets Bone in or boneless; either way you start with a brine that has a citrus with garlic and whatever chili you want (based on desired heat level). After brineing, rinse and cook in the oven until cooked through (can be done a day or two before). On the day of the party you season and deep fry the wings crispy if bone-in - or - bread and fry the nuggets (boneless) (this two-stage cooking lets you fry at a higher temperature to get crispy outsides without worrying about being raw in the center). The boneless version could also be used to make a Chouta if combined with pita/flatbread and a curry sauce. Chili Any version of chili should work, but I suggest layering the spice. First, whatever your hottest chili will be (habanero, serrano, etc) is used in the meat marinade and in the soaking stock for the beans. The second spiciest chili (serrano, jalapeno, etc.) is used to make the chili base (caramelized onion sauteed with garlic, chili, bell pepper, tomato - then pureed smooth). The weakest chili is used in the final product - this should let the heat build the more that is eaten without being so hot as to blow out the palette on the first bite. Mole Brownies Traditional brownie recipe, but the milk is steeped with chilis (type depending on how spicy you want it), and the flour is seasoned with cinnamon, clove (and other mole spices, if desired). Can be baked as cupcakes (or a muffin-top pan) to make individual servings.

That's where I was going - experimenting with sound might lead to the idea of "Sound over Distance" - which might lead to a Fabrial that could receive Lightwoven Radiowaves

Also, I think applications of Lightweaving would differ between somebody sightless from birth, and somebody who used to be sighted. To quote your previously referenced Dardevil:

While not directly related to blindness, I found this WoB that implies that Lightweaving would still work, but may work slight differently Probably if you tried to fill a whole room, but a clever application** could probably consume the same or less Stormlight (depending on if complexity increases the rate of Stormlight expenditure) **Codex Alera Spoiler Lightweavers can already hide their glow by crafting any illusion: From the Coppermind Well, another interesting implication is that Kriss describes the Surge of Illumination as "The Surge of Light, Sound, and Various Waveforms" and this WoB Which makes me think that if a blind Lightweaver really experimented with sound illusions, could they work with radiowaves (A sound illusion that propagates much further than ordinary sound)? Maybe have an easier time imagining/creating IR/UV? Well, just like the Lopen/Rysn pairing, healing blindness would depend on how they view themselves.

I don't know that they agree that Dalinar can't feel it, since we never get Renarin's reply to Shallan's statement (Ch 29) But it's important to note that Dalinar's chapters up to the confrontation are very focused on the politics, with far less rumination on his surroundings. Also, note that Kaladin wasn't in the tower for any of this, but definitely senses the unmade in Kholinar. Ch 4 Dalinar senses the feelings Ch 12 Dalinar in Urithiru Ch 22 Mraize sensing the Unmade: Ch 33 - Shallan Aftermath Ch 60 - Kaladin at Kholinar

What Elhokar really needed was a session or three with Tindwyl
