    Yeah, this is still really weird. One, Tanavast is dead, so why does his prison keep Odium trapped? And two, why would Dalinar releasing Odium be enough, when Cultivation is still there binding Odium too?
  2. LewsTherinTelescope
    That's a good point. Seems like it's not going to be locking up, then. Previously I thought this was just perception, but we see Moash know his Blade shouldn't really need ten seconds, and attempt to summon it faster, but it still takes ten seconds anyway. So I'm wondering if something might have changed with them after all.
  3. LewsTherinTelescope
    True, I just mean that they're not giant hunks of metal, they're weird partly physical, partly not, things. Not remotely comparable to Plate remaining as an actual very effective piece of magic armor. It would be like if Kal walked around and Syl was just stuck as a giant invisible spear across his back. oops That's fair, though even if it doesn't lock up, it's going to stop regenerating (this part's not speculation, Jasnah explicitly says it "lapped up her Stormlight to repair itself"), so while they're in less trouble than a bearer of deadplate, they'd still be at greatly heightened risk. (Definitely would still a force to be reckoned with, however, if it doesn't lock.)

    If the Plate is always present as actual Plate, how is that similar enough to a Shardblade turning into a nonphysical spren for it to really be a meaningful comparison?
  5. LewsTherinTelescope
    What I mean is that comparing it to a Shardblade doesn't really make sense if it doesn't work remotely similarly to dismissing a Shardblade. But if it's physically there, why would that matter?
  6. LewsTherinTelescope
    But that comparison doesn't really make sense with what you're proposing it means at all. So far we've only seen either of those things from the person inside, though I suppose it's not implausible that it could work the other way around. There's also this (RoW 64): She dismisses it, and the description makes it clear it's actually not there, as does her worry about the armor not protecting her if it's dismissed.
  7. LewsTherinTelescope
    And comparing it to a Shardblade doesn't make sense if it is. My guess is it just means the spren is always there (maybe even always in the form of Plate, just nonsolid). If it's actually physically present as metal, it's kind of weird that it doesn't interact with anything physically.
  8. LewsTherinTelescope
    ....why would it not make sense that he can't feel it if it's not physically present as metal?
  9. LewsTherinTelescope
    I'm assuming it's "always there" in the way a Shardblade is "always there" as a spren, considering it does not seem to be physically present as armor. I mean, the very next sentence literally compares it to a Shardblade.
  10. LewsTherinTelescope
    I mean a Radiant in their Plate without Stormlight has bigger issues, considering it's not unlikely that it will completely lock up. And Radiants are probably more common than plain Shardbearers, honestly, so the latter (while dangerous) aren't the main group for Scadrians to be worried about here anyway.
  11. LewsTherinTelescope
    By the way, Radiant Plate doesn't actually need a slit in the first place. RoW 64:

    Nale's barely trying. He hasn't used Division a single time, he dismissed his Shardblade when fighting, etc.
  13. LewsTherinTelescope
    .....huh. Interesting indeed. Thanks for the quote. Yeah, that's extremely suspicious. It's kind of funny how a random little number makes me like the theory so much more lol.
  14. LewsTherinTelescope
    It wouldn't surprise me, especially with this part of SH: Also, wait, sixteen months? Where's that coming from? That is... a mighty suspicious number. Hm.
  15. LewsTherinTelescope
    It seems that this is most likely not the case, btw. Though the WoB is... very rambling.
  16. LewsTherinTelescope
    None of the descriptions in TES remotely indicate that anyone there has the pure gold appearance of the Iriali. Metallic golden skin, metallic golden hair, yellow eyes, etc.
  17. LewsTherinTelescope
    He also saw that they'd go to Thaylen City, as well as what was going to happen with the Eila Stele reveal. And they showed him how to find the gemstones in Urithiru. Plus he saw Teft coming out of the Oathgate. And considering how he talks about it, it sounds like there's a lot more that were showing too, and yet, Jasnah killing him was the first that was wrong.
  18. LewsTherinTelescope
    And make herself Iriali, which does kind of sound somewhat implausible unless there's a lot of those guys in MaiPon.
  19. LewsTherinTelescope
    Seems like it worked pretty well.
  20. LewsTherinTelescope
    This one was likely directly due to his own actions interfering, though. She was struggling with the decision, but him turning and nodding was what broke her determination.
  21. LewsTherinTelescope
    I'd just taken that as the sword being too full to drain personally, myself. Could be wrong. To me this implies the black remains for at least a while: I feel this bit also implies the darkness would last: Area around wounds goes either grey or white, wounds themselves black (it's unclear how long this is after they were killed): Considering how different the Cognitive aspects are for living creatures vs other things, it'd surprise me if the aspects of a person are just the aspects of the body, especially considering things like the separation of aspects that occurs despite the corpse remaining behind.
  22. LewsTherinTelescope
    Here's the WoBs I was looking at: Invested objects are a bit like supersaturation Allomantic potential (aka the extra bit of Preservation) is like a supersaturated solution Investiture is like a saturated solution Do the wounds when NB is stabbed through someone while sheathed turn white? Must've missed that. I mean, unless Drabs don't have Spiritual or Cognitive aspects, it clearly means more than just that, since they don't have innate Investiture (the WoB might also imply there's planets where the majority does not, but that's speculation on my part).
  23. LewsTherinTelescope
    I've usually just interpreted that as "nicrosil behaves like pretty much everything else besides copper (which is what we see with the Bands), medallions are weird". Especially because we never actually see anyone described as tapping a medallion, they seem to just touch it and automatically gain the power.
  24. LewsTherinTelescope
    (Note that the WoB here, if it's what I'm thinking of, was specifically about medallions, which explicitly do not work like the normal way to use nicrosil Feruchemy, and are "more restrictive".)
  25. LewsTherinTelescope
    I mean, the Stormfather also has difficulty understanding humans at first, despite having bonded in the past. It wouldn't surprise me if given a long enough time after a bond, they change back.
