I wish to become powerful enough to unsplinter Aona and Skai, while maintaining immunity from Odium and still maintaining the goodwill to actually do so.

Granted! Your mind is then locked away inside Preservation’s Ruin prison and you spend an eternity with the power to unsplinter Devotion and Dominion but without the liberty to do so. 

I wish to become a Bendalloy misting so I can hover around Brandon while he’s writing and dramatically decrease time between books. 

You could also just ask Harmony very, very nicely. 

Lava?

Isn't that assuming glys is a corrupted spren in the first place ? Which we don't know for sure ?

All spren corrupted by sja anat are recognizable for the spren they used be, when jasnah confronts renarin about glys she has a picture of what the real truthwatcher spren should look like, and doesn't remark on any simularities or even question that the spren just seems "off", she knows 100% its the wrong spren. Couldnt glys be the type of spren the parshendi use to make nightform (least i think its nightform, dont have the book to hand)

Isn't it just an assumption sja anat learned to corrupt bond spren ? Or have i missed something ?

 

This is in the Coppormind with a reference to the relevant chapter in OB: “Glys looks different than regular Truthwatcher spren because Glys has been corrupted through contact with Sja-anat. ^[5].

Sja- anat didn't corrupt glys though, right ? Sja-anat can only corrupt "lesser" spren, no ?

Or did i misread that ?

It’s  stated by an in-world scholar that the old Radiants claimed it was impossible to corrupt a bondspren. It’s unclear when Sja-anat actually gained this ability, but she (albeit arguably) refers to Glys as her son while talking to Shallan in Kholinar, implying that she managed to “enlighten” him. Additionally, remember that she was recently able to corrupt an Oathgate spren... it seems to me like her power is somehow growing. 

Extremely unlikely theory incoming: Odium is shattered and, to prevent the destruction/damaging of Roshar’s Cognitive Realm (see Sel) one of the main characters Ascends to Odium. Like Mr. T, for instance.

That depends on your definition of "Members."

The second statement regarding their Spren would seem to imply they were only talking about Knights.

Good eye. I think the statement about how they didn’t seek to increase their numbers at least implies that they had few (or no) squires, but it doesn’t state it outright.

I remember reading that, too... but I looked on the Coppermind, and it didn’t say anything about that. I’ll have to check through and see.

It’s referenced in one of the WoR epigraphs from the in-world Words of Radiance.

Yep! Certain characters are very much “tied” to one Shard more than the others (Secret History has some good examples of this).

Secret Project has gotta be a Magic: The Gathering story. They kicked off the lore for their latest expansion today:

 

I’m with you on this. It’s gotta be Magic. 

I might riot if Tom Hiddleston doesn’t play Hoid...

Odium is the real hero of the Cosmere and has been following the original plan to shatter the Shards and thereby further disperse Adonalsium’s Investiture, which idea the 16 Vessels originally agreed to but have since betrayed because of their mandates/intents. Once Odium has shattered all the other Shards, his plan is to shatter himself a la Javert. 

Like the infamous Hemalurguc cookies?

Thanks!!

Just a thought, what are the odds that each Heralds’ insanity is related to the ten fool’s attitude of their respective order?

Buy.

The Sleepless were created when humans used Soulcasters to Soulcast a bunch of cremlings, and then they all became cremling savants.
