The split blade or the double edge? Because I don't see how either would lower the necessary number of hit.
-
That's why I find it so hard to have a real answer. There is a lot each order can bring to a fight, so its hard to really come up with a reason one beats the other. But I like Windrunners so I'll find reasons to make them win. Like how I think agility is very important in a fight, so they have that
-
This is definitely the answer I go with. It's like when people say what martial art is the best. It all depends on the practitioner. But If I had to choose, I'd say Windrunners, based on flexibility, mobility, and general (shown) martial prowess. I think the ability to send someone flying off or sticking to a wall with a touch is a pretty awesome ability, and the "danger-sense" from adhesion that was previously mentioned would be tremendously useful in a fight

Lesser Spren gem shardblade interference theory
Impact replied to BiochromaticStormlight's topic in Stormlight Archive
I had posted something related to this last week. You may find it useful. Shardblades and Gems thread -
For a flame-looking one, Nightfire or Baringer Shemesh (very rough Hebrew for Sun Bringer) For a more traditional spike/sword, Hopebinder Cultivationy one, Tsuyoi Ha (Japanese for "Strong Leaf") Windrunner-like one: Unsu (the name of one of my favorite kata that translates to "cloud hands")
-
The spren would have to be captured first. Its the "splitting" of the spren that cases the conjoined fabrials to move together, at least in my mind. You move one pen, and the spren in the pen moves with it, so the other "half" of the spren would similarly move with the other reed. Now, I have no idea why reversers would work they way they do, but I'm sticking with this theory. I hope this all makes sense, I'm *suuuuupppeeeerrrr* tired right now and my brain is at like 15% capacity, firing on one cylinder.
-
It seems to me like the fake Nahel bond is kind of a mock fabrial, if that makes sense. It's an artificial connection rather than an organic one. I would guess probably, because the spren is still dead
-
My bad, that's fair. I honestly never thought of alternatives, or even about this in general, it just popped in my head. I may start scouring the Arcanum and the forums to see if anyone else has another idea to see what others think
-
Idunno, man, it was just something I thought of and wanted to share. No offense, but what's with all the snark? I'm just sharing my ideas.
-
What if the reason that dead Shardblades could only be dismissed after having a gemstone attached is that the process mimics capturing a spren in a gemstone, now that we know that shardblades are just spren and fabrials require a spren. Maybe somehow the gem acts like a tether to the person bonded with it, and it is in a way holding the spren within.
-
Or it could have something to do with singers being partially in the cognitive realm, and the Fused are cognitive shadows and not spren?
-
That may be possible, but I do want to point out a WoB that says that the surges granted by spren were not modeled after the Heralds, but are natural pairings. So I think the form of being blades/weapons is modeled after the Honorblades, but not the bonding itself.
-
Oh, I know that. That's why I quoted Doc Brown instead
-
Which thing? The shard influence thing from my unity post? Or something else?
-
Already on my third, goncho. Or fourth, I don't remember. The first two were almost back to back. Right at the end now, actually. So that's my present.

Oy, you had to go spiritual, didn't you?
-
I don't hate this idea, because Brandon seems to always throw little cameos in like that, but at the same time, I want Kaladin to be able to move forward with his life instead of always heading backwards and living in the past
-
I stand corrected then, thank you
-
Do we actually know that? Again, this is all hypothetical at this point. I guess I'm just trying to say that I think that that emotions exist outside the Shards, unless there is a WoB or proof otherwise.
-
I just meant hypothetically. I was using him as an example. Assume you can take a Shard and completely nullify their power and influence. I think people would *still* feel emotion even without the Shard around. Until we learn more about what Adonalsium was, we can't know how much or little he directly impacted people.
-
That's not what I mean. I just mean that I would think people can still feel angry even if Odium had no influence or was totally separated from them.
-
Again, I see what you are saying, but I still don't really like the idea that people need shards to allow them to feel/do normal human things. The Shard's Intent affects what the Shard can do, but maybe people are more mutable.
-
Interesting. I get what you are saying more, now
-
1) I meant lower c, but uppercase C might make more sense... Idunno, still hashing this idea out a little 2) This is philosophically weird to me. There are more than 16 types of action/emotion, yet we still feel them. So theoretically shards are not necessary to feel or do something. So assuming that to be true, its reasonable that just because someone can act honorable does not mean they have honor in them, right? Or am I way off here. Because it seems like free will would account for not needing shards to be a certain way.
