Fulminato

creating a illusion need a perfect visualizazion of it and a connection to some degree. a shallan 'memory image' grant both of them, draw a memory isn't the only process obivusly, but it made way easy for shallan lightweaving. we don't know much about solulcasting, but for transform something a good visualization of the final object can be very handy

dalinar don't gain a permanent knowledge of the language. and we see dalinar use stormlight to glue someone to the floor (kadash and some spearmen) reknitting the statue is permanent and adhesion vanish after stormlight run out.

1) the nahel bond isn't the same with an honorblade. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/116-general-reddit-2017/#e4788 2) the discourse point in the time between the man come on roshar (and followed by odium) and the creation of the fused. so a time well before the honorblade need to becreated, and before as well of "the men learn the surge". the world status some millenia after it is irrilevant. 3) sourgebind mean ONE thing. using stormligh. the fused use voidlight (enough proof of that you can find in the gemstone library). odium is the void. (syl quote) so the servant of odium cannot be surgebind but can voidbind. so the "all birds are chikens" for surgebind is deeply wrong.

nale cannot broken the law. in wor he caught lift easy, yes she escape form him after, but don't think her runaway can last for long. but gawx after be named prime pardon lift. and without any charge he cannot act against her.

the people aren't omniscient, how moash can know the roshone's place? and his vendetta was against the king, because isn't justice his seek, but the fulfill of his hatred against the lighteyes and the king is the most important lighteyes. a thing he share with kaladin at the start of the WotK, but stormblessed after three book had finally overcome that. (the pivotal point is the city guard barrack, all the soldier are ligheyes. but for him there are no difference between them and the old spearcrew in amaram's army) don't think they waste an honorblade for a bricklayer. and i suppose his role will be more like szeth under the diagram directive. a skilled killer for infiltration and high profile target

surgebind, honor version, need stormlight in order to works. honor gave the honorblate to the heralds, and only the heralds. before they abandon the oathpact after aharietiam no one can 'have' an honorblade. so all surgebind must be a 'nahel bond user'.

the fused are powered by odium, and we see they can use the surge (gravitation and abrasion for sure). a surgebind is a bond between a man and a spren. the spren saw the honorbalde (honor sliver give to the heralds) and mimicked them.

we don't know when venli meet ulim, and venli before the war of reckoning don't think hold any real political power.

jasnah and hoid meet in the unclaimed hills https://wob.coppermind.net/events/76-shadows-of-self-chicago-signing/#e6291

jezrien was in the castle, that night A man with a long grey and black beard slumped in the doorway, smiling foolishly—though whether from wine or a weak mind, Szeth could not tell. “Have you seen me?” the man asked with slurred speech. He laughed, then began to speak in gibberish, reaching for a wineskin. So it was drink after all. but i think his pov a very weak. the dialogue between nale and his herald companion hint to a direct intervention to lead the listener to buy szeth and unleash him to killing gavilar. if we got any herald pov of the night i think should be nale.

odium come with the first men. after some time the man abandon odium for honor, the singer outrage from the 'god's betrayal' pledge their loyality to odium, and odium make the fused after. the men don't gain the surge before the heralds, because the spren mimicked the honorblade.

edgedancer spoiler some old knight used shardbow,

i agree. Mr T. was probably the old man in gavilar's room before eshonai was called by the king. King Gavilar himself stood pointing at something on a table, surrounded by five others: two officers, two women in long dresses, and one old man in robes. we know taravangian was in the castle that night, and find his view point more palatable of dalinar or navani, and the last pov gavilar himself for know in full his scheme.

Your powers will come when you are ready for them, not before, the Stormfather said. They cannot be hurried or forced. But do not look toward the powers of others, even those who share your Surges. Their lot is not yours, and their powers are small, petty things. What you did in reknitting those statues was a mere trifle, a party trick. Yours is the power Ishar once held. Before he was Herald of Luck, they called him Binder of Gods. He was the founder of the Oathpact. No Radiant is capable of more than you. Yours is the power of Connection, of joining men and worlds, minds and souls. Your Surges are the greatest of all, though they will be impotent if you seek to wield them for mere battle. oathbringer Chapter 64. Binder of Gods. i think the bondsmith resonance is the power of connection, his surgebind is different from windrunner/stoneward because of it

brandon write that for sake of consistency, he wrote a 'canon' reference for it can be used, and quoted, after without the worry of make something contradictory.

i find this highly foreshadowing You see, it has been my experience that no matter where you go, you will find some who abuse their power.” He shrugged. “Eye color is not so odd a method, compared to many others I have seen. If you were to overthrow the lighteyes and place yourselves in power, Moash, I doubt that the world would be a very different place. The abuses would still happen. Simply to other people.” Kaladin nodded slowly, but Moash shook his head. “No. I’d change the world, Sigzil. And I mean to.” WotK Chapter 46: "child of tanavast"

jasnah need a granet to soulcast the shallan's blood after the poisoning in the end of WotK. and she use a smokestone for soulcasting the rock trapping the Mr. T granddaughter. there is a WoB on that mater https://wob.coppermind.net/events/149-rithmatist-albuquerque-signing/#e2784 this is specific for dalinar. dalinar is bonded to the stormfather, the SF had merged with the renmant of honor, so dalinar can tap in the honor power (a bit, because the SF is a sliver, but is way more of the other surgebinder)

sazed before the end of HoA don't know nothing of shards and shardholders. he learn a bit from the power he wield, but nothing substantial. the heralds are ancient people, they interact directly with honor, and made a (oath)pact to bind odium. to make this they need to have some deep cosmere knowledge. i don't find so troubling they know adonalsium and the shattering. in mistborn sazed take the full power of the two shard, but odium don't only kill honor, but had shattered the shard (and the power) he hold. the largest chunk merged with the SF, but the raw power of the stormfather is nearly nothing compared a full shard like odium.

your theory your Burden of proof. because we had evidence against, but none in favor of it.

moash is the only brideman to treat kaladin like a man and not a holy demi-god to worship. it is easy make a friendship bond in a dangerous situation with a peer then a subordinate. moash was put in the bridge crews without a slave brand, only a hothead to send to die. moash owes everything to kaladin, his life foremost, his traning, he even give the shards to moash, i don't think can find in the history of roshar another event like this. and i the end of WoR moash nearly kill him for is petty vengeange. over all oathbringer he follow the same path of WoR (and WotK).no redempion for him.

the plate come after the blade. we know for the windrunner come after the four ideal. different order gain the blade an the plate at different stage of progression, but i think the four oath an the plate come togheter for the most order. there is a wob (linked in another thread, i don't find him now) give some hint to the same for the bondsmith.

“You … didn’t become king of Jah Keved by accident, did you?” Dalinar asked. [...] “How?” Dalinar asked. “There’s a woman at Kharbranth,” he said. “She goes by the name Dova, but we think she is Battah’Elin. A Herald. She told us the Desolation was approaching.” He looked to Dalinar. “I had nothing to do with the death of your brother. But once I heard of what incredible things the assassin did, I sought him out. Years later, I located him, and gave him specific instructions.…” oathbringer Chapter 121. Ideals “We’re in a dangerous position,” Dukar said. “His Majesty revealed too much to Dalinar. We will be watched now.” … the … window … “Dalinar doesn’t know of the Diagram,” Adrotagia countered. “Or that we brought the singers to Urithiru. He only knows that Kharbranth controlled the assassin—and thinks that the Herald’s insanity prompted us. We’re still well positioned.” oathbringer Chapter 122. A Debt Repaid i don't think this leave enough room for another interpretation.

odium had try to overwhelm dalinar with emotion (guilty, rage and hatred mostly), the thrill fill him, i think this will pushed the stormfather to silence and only after he reject the term of odium and drive the shard away let the SF to acknowledge the oath spoken.

this it strike me to be an advanced mirror climb. we don't have any evidence of this, but we had solid proof of the same unmade the radiant face and the unmade existing now. (at least re-shephir, ba-ado-mishram, moelach, sja-anat and dai-gonarthis)

Mr. T don't tell dalinar of the diagram, but only he seek and unleash szeth on roshar, blaming dova (he claim she sould be the herald battar) for the scheming.
