stormlight doesn make you stronger it just helps act in your peak capacity without geting tired and be more alert with better reflexes and why is only the blade making Kal and Renaren sick and not the plate too also blade doesnt need to feed on storm light

realy nice i always forget that we have so many talented people in this community here's upvote and a cookie

well i realy enjoyed derek Landy's Skuldaggery Pleasant series he has the quip part on par with sanderson even ifthe preimise is a little dull magicians living under our noses who have a goverment of their own and stuff it actualy has some thought and worldbilding behind it .it is a realy good read and very funny the Cirque du freak saga ,again kind of a dull premise , vampires . but it is what got me into fantasy soooo ... yes . i would mostly recomend it to younger readers only couse i am not sure if it holds up now (younger meaning 18-) also Daren Shan's writing doesnt resembe BS's quite that mutch let's see... Rothfuss is a no brainer i loved Kvoth and the name of the wind realy is the best non sanderson piece of fantasy literature that i had the pleasure of reading for now... that's all folks

idk i tried out a few cipher but my efforts turned out to be fruitless either bddh or accg and some others more weird

yeeeeah we are the good guys here

hoid and Jasnah will meet up with Axies the collector the leading expert in spren to find out anything they can about void spren i know it is not going to happen but it would be soooo fun

well Shallan's brother mentioned that their father got his themper after "that night" as for neurotypical theory ,i kinda agree with you

@Argentyeeeeah but we still have to take into account tha fact that he was unreasonably good with the spear since the first time he held it and we know that the skill is a result of their bond as syl has said , but you do make some strong points , maybe she was more like a wind spren so she wasn't drawn particulary to him... (kind of a strech ?) i'll have to think on it some more also I mentioned the first part about extreem stress in my theory even though snapping had't crossed my mind , but u bring an interesting dimension what if the type of mental damage or the way that you deal with it determines your surge instead of your personality , and personality traits like stonewords being stuborn etc. is just a byproduct of their scaring but that still doesnt answer why patern went to shallan when she was perfectly happy and ruined her life

for the first thing i wholeheartedly agree . that is what i am saying that the sprens arrivals predate their mental scaring as for the second one three things a )i am not saying necessarily back at hearthstone(tho the forth ideal would explain why he volonteared at the army , to protect those who cant protect themselfs) but it would make sense at his arival at the army but before his brother was killed since by then there had already been some battles b ) syl's mind wasnt at her strongest in the begining so she could be loosly following him around before and the first recolection that she has is in the army also Kaladin wouldnt had noticed her as she was acting like a normal windspren c )also what other evidence is there considering ?

let's see....it is not that i dissagree with the mental problem theory (which i do) but i wanted to touch on an other point . The fact that before the spren came they were "ok" first of all Shallan has definately PTSD its as clear as day and the nightwhatcher only made her body able to convert food into stormlight as for why the current explanation does not stand , it is because most if not all of the tragic things happen after the spren arived .as for an example again , @Secrets as much as i hate to dissagree with a fellow "baker" tien's death and the murder of kaladin's friends all happened After syl found Kal since it was their bond that gave him the amount of skill with the spear that he had and as we know he was amazing from the first time he picked up the weapon so it's safe to assume tha their initial bond happened at or before kaladin's arival to the army , and i dont think that his life was so harsh till then especialy since as he says they were "winning" at the end

Soooooooo while i was re-re-reading SA i remembered something about the radiants all being "broken" as people , meaning that if someone has had hardships in their past and kept on living they are more suitable to become radiants,(propably because the first three ideals mean so much more to them) BUT we've all been lied to , they took us for fools I SAY !!! (too dramatic? ... yeah propably ) well as i was reading this masterpiece something dawned on me , no they are not ! most of our characters have lived adequetly good lives up until the spren showed up Lets take them one at a time starting with the easier one :Shallan Davar , now u might say , hey she hasd the whorst life imaginable her mother tried to kill her dying by shallan's hand in the process her father covered it up to protect her but it ende up turning him into a violent monster that treated her brothers horribly, and you would be right if it wasn't for the little fact that it was patern's apearance the trigger that started this domino effect if he hadn't come her mother wouldn't have a reason to kill her and the whole crisis would have been averted . She even blames him directly for her life at the end of book two ... umm spoilers i guess? next we heve stormblessed him self :Kaladin he describes being great with the spear from the first time he picked up one ,which would predate tien's death. apart from that he lived a happy life . Yes he didnt have any friends apart from Laral who became a stuck up b...bad person and got bulied by the citylord for two years it is exteemly mild as far as disasters go Renarin Kholin we dont know much about his life the only tragic thing that we know is the death of his mother and maaaaybe not being able to live up to his father's (initial)expectations due to his blood weakness . but those dont seem good enough reasons to break a person considering that he is a prince and... well he is a prince! plus his father loves him and his brother adores him , it seems to me like a relatively good life as for Jasnah Kholin from her hatred of the thiefs and killers that she soulcasted we can assume the same thing that Shalan observed that something was done to her but apart from that she had her spren before her father's assasination and she is a very stoic person to think that she would let any tragedy scar her as much but at least i can see it as possible Same goes for Dalinar he forgot his wife so ... no scaring from there and he is a warrior , he has definately lost many allies to think that even his brother's death would fase him so i am not mentioning lift cause she definately had some crazy bad things happen to her , for her to be the way she is so what if the spren are not looking broken people only resilient ones and the breake them either as a test of strength or to fit the requirements of being broken(which might sound like the same thing but it isn't . since it means that spren aren't all that "good " but would ruin lifes to form people into soldiers against odium . where you could say that this is ultimately good since they strive for the survival of roshar , but that would make them kinda like Taravangian and that would make a boring class of ideologies ) i dont mean to undermine their traumas i am just saying that if you are serching for tragedies in roshar , Teft and Wikim Davar seem like far better cadidates any way my head is muddled and my eyes droppy so i rest my case , what do you think ? NOTE: in the case that this has been discussed before (which it most definately has ) plz send me the link cause i couldnt find anything

nice to meet you elex , and welcome to the shard , if you ever need help feel free to message me note:you should take the cookie @Darkness Ascendant's cookies have a very... piercing delicious taste

AAAAAAAAA THIS IS SOOOOOOO COOOOL I WOULD LIKE TO DESTROY SOME EVIL TODAY i just saw the trailer , is it worth buying?

i dont think that anyone would chose hemalurgy , too ugly and to suseptible to influence for scadrial i would take allomancy as it would give me imediete status and a\i could use them freely but in earth if smn saw me flying i would most likely be caught and that wouldnt be pleasant so i will go with feruchemy since it is more subtle and i could use it to excel in modern life without being discovered mental speed , physical speed and fortune i think would be most effective unless i can only pick one then i'll go with being a zinc misting , a rioter for obvius reasons

@Oversleep you have to see it, it is like inception on drugs no no i can do better .... it's like a kaleidoscope had a baby with new york city

Heal preservation, kill honor Shard. i just wanna see what will happen if i kill smt dead 3. Preservation: 8 4. Ruin: 9 5. Odium: 5 6. Honor: 7 7. Cultivation: 6 8. Endowment: 7 9. Autonomy: 8

hiiiiii welcome to the shard i am harambe a dead ol' meme bearer of the whorst name in the site (i rly dont know why i thought that this name would be a good idea ) but you can call me manu i started from TFE as well and tha first book was enough to root me in my bed reading the rest of the trilogy until i was done my efforts to get one of my friends to read it remain fruitless also @Darkness Ascendant the original mistborn is my second favorite saga period after only SA any way i am geting side tracked Sam if u ever need any thing feel free to message me just watch out for the bananas in my inbox here is an upvote and a cookie as well

almost all of feruchemical abilities would be amaizing with bronze who needs cofee copper and zinc would be extemely helpfull for exams cadium for scuba diving with chromium u could hit a casino or smt and so many more , i would argue that being a feruchemist is better than being a mistborn i the modern world (maybe if you dont take into account zinc and bras)

naaah elhokar doesn't stand a chance

i feel like we already had that fight and we already know the outcome

i get what you are saying but this is a problem with many films nowadays as well and though u mentioned some great anime most of them fall kinda flat on that regard but there are other examples like rainbow , kaiji ,rokka no yusa and others that fair btter in that area anyway it was only an idea in passing , spurred by an other seiries of books that i enjoyed that got turned to manga
