Stormlight is only a force/energy without shape. A Spren is Stormlight Focused either through fabrial or intention/action/words. Szeth has a fabrial (possibly from Ghostbloods) that has a similar outcome as surgebinding.

Hoid was talking about Sigzil the Worldsinger

Thnx. Very welcoming like old ladies with pies

Oh! Does anyone think Shardholders' sDNA is different from normal people of their race e.g. Sazed sDNA pre-Harmony being different from other Fruechemists?

My idea about Stormlight connecting to the cognitive part of objects springs up from Realmatics where it say the actual Shard is just a force needing to be bound to a mind. So Plate/Blade could be of Odium or Cultivation. I don't think Kaladin's bridgeman( I'm sure it wasn't Hoid's apprentice) knew the details of Stormlight or maybe he was more familiar with (Szeth/Sezth)'s unnatural form of surgebinding.

Just the way I write I try not to, but it's unintentional

Inorder for anything to be used as a recognizable focus, The Shard's power thats being focused would have to interact with the user's sDNA or Spiritwebb…hemulgary could be used to Graph another Shard's sDNA Signature onto someone else making Their Associated focus recognized…pure speculation

I always assumed the Shards were based off of aethers in the way that they seem to have a separate mind/will from a holder and the simple fact that you can exchange them…but also there maybe a hint at Lightweaving how Shards are able to create Like Hoid can except on a higher level

Could the sea of black spheres be a Shardpool or the mind of a Shardholder? Seeing As Shadesmar Encompasses the Entire cosmere I doubt Brandon world make it so Shallan could soulcast something in another ShardWorld From Roshar, so I doubt that these spheres are individual minds…unless Shadesmar is geographically different across the cosmere, dependant on which shards interact and constrains the minds of that ShardWorld to that form of Shadesmar. If I'm correct, which I'm not, then you mind, in black sphere form, will remain in its original Shadesmar…Yess I'm off topic, I think, fortunately I'm done

Hello 17thShard, You Can Call Me Tony or Scorpio for short. I'm obviously new. My Sanderson Literature Infatuation Began 3 or 4 Years Ago when I Stumbled upon Mistborn. You Should've seen me: a pint sized 12 year old Toting around a book the same size as his head. Demolished it I a week. Been hooked every since. Glad To Be A New Member &'d Excited To Share Theories and WhatNot. You Will Be Seeing A Whole Lot More Of Me.

I'm New Here and This Is My First Theory! So I Was Reading Somewhere That Shards Are A Form of Energy, Basically, That Binds To The Cognitive Aspects of It's Holder. And I was thinking about how Shardplate & Blade are summoned by its wielder's intent. I Believe Blade/Plate Are Investitures pieces of Honor or Odium. Spren, I Also Believe, Are Stormlight That Has Bound To The Minds Of People. Stormlight is the 'Clay' Of A Spren and The Cognitive Attribute of Every Object Can Shapes it To The Spren that They See. Inanimate Objects Form Spren Visible To Everyone (FlameSpren), Spren Seen By Only A Few Individuals At A Time Are Experienced By Similar Thought(HonorSpren)-Seen By Rock. Stormlight Also Carries The Mind of Honor/Tanavast. We come into contact With This During Dalinars' Visions & Kaladin's Sudden Knowlegde of The Second Ideal. To Make My Ideas More Clear: Stormlight is The Rest Of Honor's Energy Which Seeks To Bind To Any Mind this Is Why Soulcasting works. Remember When Shallan Soulcasts The Goblet It Speaks To Her Mind? Then Takes The Light From Her Sphere.… Criticize-Refine
