Ok, correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that the reason predicting the future is seen as bad is because when the Vorin church tried to take over they controlled the people using "visions" that only they could see. When you can get people to believe that you can see the future and you know the will of the Almighty, you can use those visions to persuade them to do what you want. So while the current Vorin teachings are that foretelling the future is of the Voidbringers, I think that in the time of the Radiants it was not seen that way. And why would a spren tell a Knight Radiant that they can't tell about the future if the old Knights Radiant could? Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Honestly, you guys seem to know a lot more about this than I do. EDIT: Ah, I think I missed something. Still learning how to navigate these forums.

Thanks. I've read them all but the Wheel of Time books and the last Alcatraz. Well, except a few of the novellas, I guess. I always forget about those. I don't remember the exact terms, but I'd like to be able to store energy and--ugh, what's the name?--push against metal, like Wax does. If forced to choose between the two I'd pick the metalminds. Heheh, I have a really awful memory for details. And, uh, I'll be sure to avoid any baked goods, I guess...

Hello all you nerds! I'm River. I'm just a simple gal who enjoys reading big books, namely the Stormlight Archive. I have read most of Brandon Sanderson's books, but the Stormlight books are my favorite books of all time, to be honest with you. And I've read a lot of books so that's saying a lot.
