I do not agree with this. I don’t think this holds true any longer. I think when you kill someone and begins to think that you have failed your father, that is a beginning of cracks in your soul Adolin will have to change how he seems himself. I personally do not see this as a bad thing.

@Pathfinder and I are kind of like this on a lot of subjects. I would go so far as to say we are semi famous for it.

That is not exactly true. Jasnah believes it to be the case and there is some correlation but a recent WoB indicates this is not always true. An interesting and somewhat creepy idea. However I don't think shardblades damage the spirit web. I think they just cut it off from the body. Mistborn does ask and to some degree answer the question of what you can do by mutilating a spirit web.

The professional opinion of the greatest scholar of the arcane in the Cosmere points to a no. That does not mean that the overall concept does not have some relevance. For example we know that southern tec can use the metallic arts on objects. If you could get an extremely small object to "gain mass" and then were to lash it it could conceivably do a large amount of damage by generating a lot of force in a small impact point(Vin does something similar in concept actually while burning pewter during era 1).

Reference? Wax does not know.

All things fall at the same speed normally so increasing your weight seems like it should have no effect. However in Bands of Morning Khriss asks Wax what happens if he increases his weight while pushing on coins. Wax initially thinks that he slows down and he thinks this is because he weighs more so now he has to push harder but Khriss(who is the greatest cosmere scholar ever) says that she thinks it is that the universe is trying to conserve momentum.

Conservation of momentum applies when tapping iron. Khriss and Wax's conversation as of BoM. If you increase your weight while lashed you will slow down proportionally as per the formula P(momentum)=M(mass)*V(velocity).

Welcome! Which works have you read/enjoyed?

Good catch anyway.

Could he not have given that to someone else?

Works. Do we want to set up some kind of cheat sheet of everyone's character on a separate thread?

Your welcome.

You can make the thing lashing you even worse!

Additionally it has some fun compounding potential.

First of all Welcome! Second of all can you explain what you mean by "define?" It would help. Here is what I think what you are asking. All spren native to roshar are created from bits of Honor and Cultivation's investiture that broke off and combined at various ratios. When those bits gain a personality and identity you get a spren(bits of investiture left around gain some kind of intelligent naturally on their own). Because each kind of investiture has its own "flavor" the different amounts of investiture give different personalities. Honorspren like Syl have an extraordinarily high(perhaps the highest) quantity of Honor's investiture and the very little of Cultivation's. Does this help? Also avoid the SA threads. They have spoilers for Oathbringer.

I do agree he may gain some additional power/competency but I do not think it will be radiance.

The ability to open doors with your mind. Not fences. Just doors. Cave man skills. You know all the edible grasses and how to hunt mammoths. An old favorite of mine. Glowing in the dark.

Try not to double post in the future. Instead edit your first post.

I think Culla is clearly being groomed for that role.

Do we have a start date yet?

Welcome! Want to tell us a bit about yourself?

Did you wait a few minutes? It is possible the website is just a bit slow at updating.

Plenty of good people do not have Radiant powers and I can think of at least one (Malata) who is not a great person and does have them(I am also not sure how you quantify the Skybreakers specifically Szeth). I do not want him to have powers because part of his arc seems to be handling that he can still be important and a good man without divine abilities or being exactly what other people expect of him. I also have my own pet theory for how is arc ends and I like it much better then him being just another Radiant.

Don't double post. Also What about ones that show the past for objects? What about ones that show other people in your own past. You can do this all day.

I meant essence mark yourself so that you can be a ferring.
