Oh, I thought you were joking my bad. Its just that it is presaged on the belief that Adonalsium foresaw the shattering and wanted it to happen a theory I cannot yet take seriously. Still their is not reason it cannot be true so...

Thanks

Or you could just try storing and feal your sight fade and your memory stop working and only figure out the fine control latter.

On a more serious note how does Rosharan ecology fit into this and why can't he do what he wants Rayse to do himself and what has Rasye done other then kill a few other shards?

So do you see any flaws in it? Anything that is obviously ridiculous?

Sure but I don't think they actually eat either.

I don't think time means much to an immortal Shard with no physical needs and no real way to change emotional states.

According to Brandon the entire system of Roshar was created by Adonalsium for a specific purpose and that the entire investiture ecologyof the plannet is in line with this. My theory is that the system was created as a recycling center for bits of investiture that Adonalsium did not know what to do with. In line with this The singers were created to form these bits of investiture into spren. Concepts that can learn adapt and understand. They would also be in charge of judging these spren to determine how they could be used and imprisoning the dangerous or maladjusted ones(More on this latter). Their physiology also made them dependent on these spren so that they would pay attention to and respect spren. The highstorms were created to provide power so that these bits could adapt and grow stronger physically. Spren also might need them for sustenance. The amount of free investiture might also be tempting for any rogue piece of investiture(If part of Adonalsium broke off it might become sentient and start working against him). The amount of power in the highstorm would lure these pieces to Roshar where they could be safely imprisoned or rehabilitated. The Nightwatcher was created to preform alterations to these spren. My current theory on how she works is that she takes off a bit of your soul and also gives you a different bit back. If this is true she could remove harmful pieces of spren and give them different pieces back. Perhaps in her earlier version she was more like a spren bits exchange where groups of spren would approach her about exchanging pieces of themselves so that they could find a better fit. Finally their are the greatshells. The greatshells have perhaps the simplest purpose they produce gemhearts. These gemhearts are necessary to their survival (so they can't be lost easily due to evolution) and perfect for capturing spren. It is all together possible that Roshar would attract nasty customers or spren of types the singers would have difficulty dealing with. Instead of killing them the singers could imprison them in spren in either as punishment or to prevent them from actively threatening singer lives. They could then transport them to the protoNighwatcher who could take out a few pieces of them making them more manageable. Finally the I believe the protoStormfather guarded the original perpendicularity. If this was a recycling center then once recycled the spren might need a way off Roshar so that they could fulfill their purposes elsewhere. A being with the ability to reason and the power to bond things could judge the spren and if unsatisfied could bind them back to Roshar(for any length of time). Alright that is my theory. Anyone see an obvious flaw in it? Anyone have obviously better theories? Comment down below.

Same spoilers

Or you could just go outside when you need to awaken. Its not like color is the limiting factor with awakening.

I don't see it.

But shades do occupationally kill both.

Like the one that is used for bullets in era 2

We have no confirmed sightings as of now. Also I think we might be getting ahead of ourselves.

We unfortunately do not know much about shardic combat.

No. (I only saw the title)

Actually I am thinking that it would adapt others as in his forces.

To be fair Honor is about bonds not self rightness. However that is probably how the combo would go. Perhaps we would get the shard of Arrogance.

He could just try and store. Provided you are trying to store something I don't think it matters if you know the correct attribute or not.

On coppermind the vessel is considered female.

How the 10 orders lead a war. Windrunner: Insists on being on the front lines so he can protect others Skybreaker: Is regulation perfect on everything(you last found him carefully filling off the .001mm of extra stock on a weapon that was caused by factory error). Elsecaller: Is calmly assessing the enemy's capabilities and is putting together the optimal plan for attack. Bondsmith: Is trying to unite the different branches of survive into one branch(he is loosing). Edgedancer: Is making sure everyone can participate in the war. Lightweaver: No one knows how the war is going but we somehow have not been invaded yet. No one is realy sure why. Dustbringer: "Bring more explosives!" Truthwatcher: No one actually knows where the guy is. Its rumored he mixes in with the regular troops to help with camp setup. Willshaper: Would be leading the war but is constantly distracted by shiny objects and new possibilities. Stoneward: Some people say that leadership has a tendency to fight the last war. This leadership actually does fight the last war... and the last last war... and the last last last war.

I was talking about Bavadin herself not the shard's many avatars.

Then then entire planet of Roshar is in trouble because most of the ecology depends on the stormlight.

Arcanum Unbound "other then the common 4 or 16"

I was under the impression that all Aviar have some abilities in this regard(just bonding one makes your cognitive self less noticeable).
