I'm saying after they regain their mental faculties, most spren seem to know their order's capabilities.

Everytime Kaladin says a new oath or unlocks a new power, usually, Sly gets back a bunch of her original memories. She does not know all the abilities that a Windrunners has, while the other spren, Pattern, Wyndle, and the Stormfather have a clear understanding what their radiant order does. In some cases, they tell their radiant that they have access to other powers, and how to use them. In the case of Wyndle, he told/taught Lift how to growth and regrowth. Sly never does this. Kaladin has to figure it out by himself by experimentation and using Szeth as an example, what his powers are.

Odium through himself or his followers/splinters can heal the broken shardblades. At the end of Words of Radiance, the Everstorm appears. We find out that it can heal the spiritwebs of the Parshman allowing them to think like normal sentient beings. We also know shardblades and parshmen are both missing the same part of their spiritweb, their Identity. If Odium's powers let them heal the spiritweb of a parshman, why not a shardblade? I think maybe Glys is really a healed shardblade. He won't tell people that he was from the recreance because his memories will still be scrambled/destroyed. If he remembered, he still wouldn't till anyone because that would require to admit Odium's investiture touched a core part of himself. The Radiants could maybe replicate the process if they can discovered spirtual regrowth or just perform regrowth on the shardblade. We know surges have spiritual forms, spiritual adhesion, we also know stormlight can fix spiritual webs, healing shardblades wounds.

I like the theory, and it would explain what happened to the physical shard blades, but not the cognitive spren that go with them. I would like to believe that Dalinar can let Edgedancers and Truthwatchers access Spiritual Regrowth and can heal the shardblades

With shard intents the new shareholder applies what they think the shard's intent is. So the shard's would not be passion plus something else it would just be something related to passion.

It's inferred that Aesudan get later become a gem rocked monster. The rock and Unmade that goes with it gives who ever comsumes it access to all the surges.

That's why I want a human to bond a nonsapient spren and then invest it with stormlight till it becomes sentient

Bondsmith don't have blades but they could have them, it's just the spren that they bond with don't want to be blades. The Nahel bonds of bondsmithes allow for blades to form, but the spren off bondsmithes refuse to form into a blade, that's why Dalinar had a where blade of light in Oathbringer, he wanted a blade to get back to Urithru but the Stormfather refused to blade/only at second oath, so the blade was incomplete.

If Teft's spren left, then it would beany years before Sly was discovered, I think, of that spren would of wondered off by itself they wouldn't think that she went off and bonded. Sly actively fought against the stormfather when he didn't like her idea off bonding again.

What surges did Jasnah show, I only remember soulcasting and teleportation.

How is my theory?

Vote for Stormfather

Note: This is pretty much a baseless theory Book five will end with a board game(Rosharan version a chess) between Renarin and Odium/Odium's Champion. So Odium has to accept a challenge with Dalinar, but the radiants gaining rapidly with skill and the Fused are increasingly going crazy more often. Venli is convincing the Parshmen not to fight, and most of them don't want to fight anyways. The radiants will have Cultivation when she returns, and Dalinar is slowly getting access to Honor's abilities as a shard. The Radiants have captured one Unmade and another will soon turn traitor. Odium is quickly losing his troops. He has some Skybreakers, but once they realize there non-viod Dawnsingers they will leave Odium. The only way Odium can win is if he fights them in a challenge of skill and future sight not pure power. A board game, with limited moves but many possibilities.The only known Radiant with future sight is Renarin. Of course he won't be able to defeat Odium with future sight, because he only sees a limited amount of visions that Odium sees. But we have Taravangian with his mental capability. If Dalinar uses spiritual adhesion to connect Taravangian to Renarin, then Renarin will have more capability to see possible futures. Dalinar, being able to give near infinite amount of stormlight to radiants, will give him the investiture needed to peer in the future. Maybe he will also gain the Truthwatchers rare ability to see the future. This gives Renarin the ability to see the possibilities that Odium can and cannot see, with the ability to understand them and the stormlight needed to see them. He will win.

So last time it was Skyward, now he has a new secret project that is non cosmere. It's probably an entirely new universe because he told us it's something we wouldn't guess. What do you think it is?

I think that they are accelerating faster because they are using the gravity rate of Braize instead of Roshar rate(the rate acceleration that is caused by a planet pulling on something)

What I'm saying was that investiture was assigned to only a portion of the Adon, and those portions later became shards.

Red Investiture is when Investiture that was already given a purpose is unwillingly forced or unwilling mixed with another shards investiture. Like if Odium corrupts a sapient spren against their will.

Probably, and maybe once they're bonded the human can begin to feed the spren stormlight until it reach radiantspren levels.

The quote says that the investiture was already assigned to a part of Adonselium pre-shattering.

The reason I have so much trouble answering these questions (and you'll see me struggling to get an answer in the 10-15 seconds I have when someone asks me in a signing line) is because this isn't an either or. Is this computer I'm using matter associated with Earth, the Big Bang, or such-and-such star that went supernova long ago? Well, it's probably all three. When people ask, "What shard is this investiture associated with" it gets very complicated. Shards influence and tweak certain investiture, giving it a kind of spin or magnetism, but all investiture ever predates the shattering--and in the cosmere matter, energy, and investiture are one thing. I always imagine investiture having certain states, certain magnetisms if you will, associated with certain aspects of Adonalsium. So it's all "assigned" to a shard--because it's always been associated with that Shard. To investiture, Adonalsium's shattering meant everything and nothing at the same time. We generally mean the term "Invested" to mean a Shard has taken permanent residence in a location, a kind of base of operations--but at the same time, this is meaningless, since distance has no meaning on the Spiritual Realm, where most Shards are. So imprisonment of a Shard like Ruin or Odium is a crude expression--but the best we have. Autonomy never "invested" on First of the Sun. But even answering (as someone else asked) if they created an avatar without visiting is a difficult thing to explain--because even explaining how a shard travels (when motion is irrelevant) is difficult to manage. It's a subject that I intend to be up for debate, discussion, and argument by in-world philosophers and arcanists. You can see why I have such troubles explaining these things at signings--and why I fail when I try to, considering the time limitations and (often) fatigue limitations placed upon me. These are concepts I intend to spend entire, lengthy epic volumes explaining and exploring. Let's say you were Autonomy, and you have--through expanding and exploring your understanding--found a gathering of investiture that has always been there, you always knew about, but still didn't actually recognize until the moment you considered and explored it. (Because even though your power is infinite, accessing and using that infinity is beyond your reach.) Were you "invested" there? No, no more than you're invested on Roshar, where parts of what were Adonalsium still exist that are associated with you (in the very fabric of mater and existence.) But suddenly, you have a chance to tweak, influence, and do things that were always possible, but which you never could do because you knew, but didn't know, at the same time. And...I'm already into WAY more than I want to be typing this out right now. If it's confusing, it's because it's practically impossible for me to explain these things in a short span of time. I'm going to leave it here, understanding that no, I haven't fully explained your question. (I didn't even get into what avatars are, what Patji was, and what happened to Patji the being--and how that relates to Patji the island.) But hopefully this kind of starts to point the right direction, though I probably should have just left this question alone because I bet this post is going to raise more questions than it answers... source Just a informative WoB on the Shattering and the nature of investiture. (Note: I didn't find this WoB) Food for Thought: Why was all of the investiture assigned to one of the shards before they even split up?

All investiture was assigned to one of the sixteen shards. When their united, all the investiture is assigned to all the shards as once, and the shards don't have mandates. The Odium shard's investiture is assigned and can use to Honor's investiture because when they are united, they share the same connections to their investiture. When the 16 shards were shattered, they weren't connected anymore and could not use the other shards' investiture, and they also gained mandates. The shards' investiture is not dispersed in separate groups, but instead their assigned investiture is more of a homogeneous mixture, touching one another or are close to each other. Shard holders are mortals, they can not all at once see where all their investiture is, but what they can do is look at a place and see if any of their investiture is their. Another shard can manipulate another shard's investiture, but it would be the same as a regular person trying to manipulate investiture that is just laying around.

The theory was that the Sibling was supposed to be unmade, but either he was rescued, escaped, Odium didn't want to unmake him, or some other reason, he didn't get unmade and then joined the radiants.

I feel like if someone could control the concentrated aethers, they could make a perpendicularity, and if he gives them a new shard because Ruin went to the mIstborn series, then they would have a shardpool.

My personal theory is that when Adonselium was shattered he had avatars in the Cosmere, and when he was shattered the avatars lose a significant chunk a power but they still were there, and that the Former is one of those avatars.

So the Old Magic is just the rewriting of the spiritweb until Sanderson tells us more, the Knights Radiants are of both Cultivation and Honor, but Cultivation allowed Honor's heralds to shape the magic system.
