Wasn't his shash brand new in the beginning of WoK? So he couldn't have been the first master. Though, I guess you said that these were all possible reasons and don't have to all be true.

That's really interesting. So he definitely got some Kabbalah inspiration. I do still wonder about the shattering part, but this WoB is great, thanks.

So I happened to be randomly reading about Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and I noticed it talked about the idea of creation being a part of the "Shattering of Divinity" into 10 vessels. I wonder if that was at all an inspiration for Adonalsium and the shattering. Not really going anywhere with this, I just thought it was kind of cool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefirot#Lurianic_Shevirah_(Shattering)_and_Tikun_(Rectification)

That was one of my original theories when reading it. Because translucent and transparent are kind of nebulous, especially in terms of light. I feel like all light is translucent, because I don't really know how light can be opaque.

I know I'm super late to this post, but was anything ever solved with the nine colors of light deal? I can't even find that mention on the wiki, so i'm going nuts trying to figure it out

As a few have stated: when heat (or energy) is put into something, it has to come from somewhere, in this case the surrounding air and object. Energy goes into whatever is being lashed, and the adjacent objects basically give some of their heat along, making them colder.

I always felt connected to the Windrunners. Aside from just loving the color blue and having blue eyes (so it feels fitting), the attributes of protecting and elading really fit my personality. I'm pretty quick to intervene in issues that I see and tend to take charge when no one else will. Barring the windrunners, I really like the edgedancers because of the healing and loving aspects

Listening to the part about Edgedancers, I think their surges do go together if you focus on their healing aspect. They are the battlefield surgeons. Progression obviously allows them to heal folks, but abrasion helps them get to those in need quickly, as well as avoiding direct conflict if necessary, which goes with the "loving" attribute, as well as their namesake. ***edit: Of course, as I listen on, this gets mentioned anyways and I no longer feel so clever
