I do not like that one.

Or bad luck, terrain, surprise, the intervention of one or more third parties, emotianal or political considerations. or any number of other factors

If she turns the air to oil then sparking it will do nothing. Also If he gets within arms reach of her he can make his Sylblade longer and smash it into her for some damage. I have complete respect for Jasnah but what is she going to do against Kaladin if he shatters at least one section of her armor?

Until one day someone came up with the brilliant idea of a rust metalmind contest where only the least reflective metalmind could win.

Anyone want to explain this forms incomprehensible rules?

Alright then would you care to check out the Jasnah v Kaladin debate and offer a verdict? Also please provide us some detail about yourself books read, favorite order, how you picked up the first one?

I agree to an extant but your last point about Kaladin being at a disadvantage does not seem to work vary well. We know that the assassin in white for example was able to manipulate indoor environment to his advantage. Yes he was not fighting aponents with surges but what is Jasnah going to do when going toe to toe with a skilled soldier? Entombing him seems far to dangerous as he could by moving a few feet either doge or berry her with him and I am not sure if fleeing into the cognitive realm is ideal inside as objects will be both above and below you.

Leverage. Long objects are very hard to hold(try hanging on to a thirty foot pole sometime). Also if the enemy grabs the other end which you would have a hard time swinging quickly so lastclasp you are in trouble.

What sanderson books have you read also what about bullets?

As a fellow wizard I agree with you but having played for a while I can tell you that for all the amazing (you forgot that I had the fog cloud spell that can effectively block snipers) there is often a (my entire strategy revolved around them not getting through my impenetrable barrier we are all sitting ducks now noooooo.) I am not saying he is better at using them I am saying that his abilities better lend themselves to simple combat use. Kaladin's surges require you to know a bit about how wind and gravity works Jasnah's depend and deep understandings of how a verity of substances behave under various circumstances. In combat it is hard to keep a large number of options open and ready at one time. Kaladin can just think move this way or air block this stuff or get away from me sticky goop. Jasnah has to think alight I need a flamable liquid that I can light on fire he countered then I have to change it to a substance that is inflammable. Do I have the correct gems for that? How does this behave at high or low pressures. Will he be able to break out of this? What about this? Sure she has Ivory to remind her of this stuff but even an inkspren can make errors or fail to understand something important and it is hard to communicate with someone in battle even with a bond.

Does it though? Kaladin's abilities are intuitive they are fast and simple to use Jasnah's require a great deal of forethought and preparation and can still be overturned by a fast or clever enough opponent. For example if Jasnah creates a wall of flamable material and Kaladin realities what she is doing he could blow it against her or create a sphere of air around him and order it to remain calm blocking the explosion. Kaladin can do these things quickly and naturally where Jasnah's abilities require a great deal of forethought to plan for unintended consequences. If Jasnah had an guard of experienced radiants and she was fighting Kaladin and an equal group of his squires or fellow windrunners she would probably win but all of her abilities require some kind of understanding or planning. Having played DnD I know just how nasty it is when a perfect spell is exploited or avoided by an opponent and you realize that your hand to hand options are limited. This is exactly the problem with Jasnah's power set we have no idea of anything she can use against an invested opponent that will stop them at close corners and could not be used against her if she makes a mistake. Also this is not rock paper scissors the outcome of this kind of fight will be determined by a wide bunch of factors not all of which anyone can anticipate. Saying that someone's powers trump someone else's is ridiculous as all the power in the world will not help you if you do not have a legitimate way to use them. If Kaladin were a scholar and Jasnah a soldier the fight would be vary different but this is not the case.

Perhaps savantism in this case is nothing more then a slight increase in efficiency and as such is not particularly noticeable.

I am pretty sure that the cognitive realm is essentially flat so you would end up on land in that realm.

Perhaps Autonomy closes it off and opens it up again depending on geopolitics or shardpolitics? Godpolitics?

I think he was referencing the first trilogy. Regardless is their anyone who has read Stormlight and then Mistborn and thought Mistborn better?(Not judging one way or the other its subjective obviously I actually want to know). Even if I can't help but say the SA is obviously better.

I don't think that Jasnah can control wind as effectively as Kaladin can. Yes she can create or destroy it but she does not seem to realy be able to direct it.

Perhaps the resonance just magnifies an already existing worldview. Wax's abilities are what make him morally or at least spiritually so durable and because of that he has trouble empathizing with others who do not share his fortitude. I don't think any full mistborn is a good example as so many powers might contradict each other but all mistborn seem obsessed with preserving something either themselves or someone or something else. Wayne's ability's might make him more patient and less likely to care about consequences.

We have a pretty clear indication that the Dawnsingers had a high level of technology and culture. It stands to reason that humans would have picked up their language when they traveled or traded in their lands. It is also possible that the Shin who kept to their borders maintained their relations with the singers for longer then others and so an intermingling of languages and cultures could have happened. The result would have been a mixed Singer Shin society that Odium would have been keen on destroying as it was proof that the two peoples could coexist. I do not think it is an accident that the Horneater's identity myth states that they were chased and reviled by others until they settled. The Shin kept their language which maintains similar roots to their Horneater cousins and they forgot each other. Its just a theory but I think it is based on logical conjecture.

Doesn't Dalinar manages to pin Kadash to the floor without touching him? Also he is not making a bomb that she can soulcast he is altering the air so that it pushes in a sudden burst like a bomb. We know he can calm the winds of a highstrom for hundreds of feet around him with infinite stormlight. Logically it should take the same amount of energy to create that kind of wind. According my source a 20mph wind on earth carries 600 watts per square meter. I am going to believe that a highstorm has 150mph winds. So according to the calculation offered by my source a highstorm produces 2025 watts per square meter. This is a lot of energy and Kaladin maintains it over a wide area of several hundred feet. Yes he does this with unlimited stormlight but why can't he do it with less over a much smaller area? Something that could knock Jasnah over or crash her against a wall or the floor?

I was thinking of something like blowing up Jasnah. Do we know how well Shardplate can stand up to something like that?

The spren turned into shardblades because that is their base form in the physical realm. I believe that we have a WoB confirming this.

Exactly and I doubt that a person could survive without their soul so if a shardblade removes the soul from the body then that could explain how they die.

I have always thought that it is among the oaths of a truthwater to respect privacy. What with all that they know and from their abilities they can probably figure out almost anything about anyone but I do not think that forcing others to open up to you is appropriate. I have always thought that in the scene in OB where Adolin was talking to Gallant that Renarin knows that Adolin killed Sadias but does not say so because it would violate this oath.

I always thought that shadeblades sever the soul from the body(otherwise Odium would have killed the Heralds a long time ago). I think that the smoke that leaves through their eyes is the raw investiture of the victum's soul leaving their body. Like how both Ati and Vin produced smoke when they died.

Edit made. My point is that it was altogether possible for Ati to have visited Roshar either as a shard or beforehand.
