I have a similar yet different theory. I agree that the fabrials and unique spren are in fact critical to this arms race but I don't think it is just blades and plate that they are after. Roshar is famous for the large number of unique spren that it has. Some are worshiped and some are just odd but we have been introduced to a large number of highly varied spren over the past three books. In the final chapter of OB Dalinar captured one and gave it to one of Roshar's preeminent fabrial scholars. What if the race is over these unique spren? Specifically the unmade along with spren like Cusicesh and the knowledge of how to make them into fabrials? Shallan has demonstrated a knack for getting rid of them. Against that kind of opponent the fused are going to have to alter their original method of using them. Imagine what a diminishing thrill fabrial would do to an army.

Do we know that?

Not in any meaningful way per the WoB above. You might might might be able to shove some extra investiture into it but if you have that much breath and expertise you have better things you can do with that. Also Welcome!

That was a subject of much speculation here. Navani, Rlain, Adolin, and Teft were all put forward with in that order as candidates. A cross reference WoB favored Navani(although it is circumstantial evidence). Agreed.

Cool! @ me when you have it finished.

Wasting time.

Ten years late with that one! https://www.wired.com/2010/09/stringy-quantum/ I think you need a better system for incorporating temporal and emotional effects. A good starting point (if you think it is worth the effort) would be making sub models of the weirder powers(like temporal and emotional effects) and explaining how they are created via illumination, fortune, and connection.

I am not trying to be a downer I am trying to explain why I happen not to enjoy it. If you do like this theory more power to you. As to your other examples. Lessor spren offers an explanation to a question I have. This site gives me a place to discuss cosmere.

I don't but at the same time I think any experimentation would throw up a lot of flaws in your model. I also don't see what good the model itself does.

Maybe in the future someone will figure out how to crossbreed highspren with cultivationspren.

I suppose it works as a theory although I personally dislike it. It reminds me too much of the early 3 or 4 element paradigms used by theorists that was based on observation without experimental proof.

What surge is that? Also all of temporal alomancy.

and just soothing?

What about awakening?

They thought that they could control it. Given the fact that the entire planet of earth is missing I am not sure that their response was disproportionate. Also we know for a fact that humanity had a lot of different factions. This one may have been done by some kind of extremist. Definitely agree.

Really? I suppose Rosharan scholars would agree but what about aons? What surge is aon omi?

Welcome!

This is what I always thought. The correct number of correct sized facets of the correct crystalline structure makes a gem perfect. The closer you are to perfect the longer the stormlight.

Sobs. Tien...

But not every order gets that really. Only the Bondsmiths and Windrunners.

He does not do it for me either. Also. Can someone tell me why Calum got no magical training during this season. He has the power now so could we learn a bit about it please?

Thanks!

I really do want to see a live action Vin though.

She is not the only but I think as far as depressing goes they would be about equal.
