NameIess

I am aware of what Khriss said, but we also know that the age of stone and its location can affect how difficult it is to Soulcast. Kaza noted that the stone in the pillars, which had been Soulcasted, wanted to be air again. Jasnah noted that the stone on the ground of the battlefield in RoW was content and would be difficult to change. So stone that has not recently been changed is more difficult to Soulcast. That makes sense. It would be difficult to Soulcast Urithiru, for example, but a building that had just been made, quite difficult. The back half that features Jasnah more heavily? Is that a joke? Yes we do. Kaladin at First ideal nearly killed himself pulling a ton of arrows to him. At Third, he held back a Highstorm. At Fourth, he casually made a hole in one. As a Radiant's connection to their spren increases, their powers increase. Making the same volume of a material that has 2 to 3 times higher density will make an object with 2 to 3 times more mass, and therefore it will require 2 to 3 times more Stormlight, because you are transforming 2 to 3 times more material. What part of my post do you disagree with? The air won't pull in until the soulcasting is complete, so the worst that it will do is make the Mistborn bonk their head on stone. Do you disagree that a Mistborn could move at 7.8 miles/hour? A human can run faster than that. Even twenty meters should be possible. Mistborn can move at 16 miles/hour as long as they have anchors around. And the Stormlight cost of that much stone will be massive. Square cube law, and you have to make it a sphere unless you want the Mistborn to just fly above it, which we don't have indication that Jasnah did. Is it the reaction time? Even if we give them an entire second to react, they still only have to move at 10 miles/hour, and they could literally just sprint that with Pewter. And that's not them being better at soulcasting as a whole because? Her hole is gone, probably fixed by the Sleepless. They removed a dozen spikes before the Wandersail got there, in order to let them be tricked. No other explanation makes sense. Kaza's hole in one or two spikes did not magically grow into the complete removal of several of the massive spikes that she explicitly said were too big for her to Soulcast. I heavily disagree. Lightweavers in general focus on Illusions and Spiritual Soulcasting. Jasnah has been focusing almost solely on Soulcasting for years. She is of the Fourth ideal and has been noted as a perfect Elsecaller candidate. She is far beyond the average Lightweaver in skill. Comparing her to the average Lightweaver would be like comparing Szeth to the average Windrunner. We've seen them training for combat using illusions and not Soulcasting. She took a very long time to do so. She had to have a lengthy conversation with the ship, and got lucky by appealing to the correct thing, its desire to serve. A few hours later, she couldn't even transform a stick, as we all know.

Unintelligible was happy to have found so much unintelligibleness.

"Yeah, probably." Nameless drew in saidin, summoning a ball of light. "Don't worry. If they attack, I should be able to take them. Fireballs are easy enough."

Stone that is old and already 'set in its ways' is difficult, but walls will be easier. We have heard no hint of combat Soulcasting. Jasnah is an Elsecallar, giving her an advantage over every living Soulcaster besides someone with an Honorblade. Further, she is considered a perfect Elsecaller candidate by her spren. She has also spent years honing her abilities, and is of the Fourth ideal. a Lightweaver of the Third will be unable to match her unless they are the best of the best at Soulcasting. Sorry, I was mixed up. Jasnah made oil around herself in a ten-yard radius. She drained multiple gemstones to do so, and that's with her at the Fourth ideal. Granite is more than 2x as dense, so it'll take even more Stormlight. All of that, for only a small chance at killing a Mistborn. Assuming the Lightweaver can pull off a ten yard radius of granite like Jasnah without giving any warning beforehand, that Electrum gives 3 seconds of futuresight, and that the Mistborn starts at the middle of the radius, It will be relatively easy to dodge. Normal human reaction time (not accounting for Pewter) is 0.19 seconds, so double that to be generous to the Radiant and the Mistborn has 2.62 seconds to move ten yards. So they have to move at ~3.816 yards/second or ~7.805 miles/hour. With a few coins scattered around, that's easy. Aside from Brandon saying that it was 'possible' that a Lightweaver could replicate Jasnah's ranged Soulcasting, not likely. That hole was the size of a dozen pillars. Kaza only removed the tips of some underwater ones, and made a hole large enough for dinghies in the pillars above water. Yes, but the average would be closer to Shan Elariel than that guy. So she uses it differently and we've seen no indication that Lightweavers can use it in combat at the Third ideal in the same way that Jasnah can at the Fourth, but you're assuming that the majority of them will be able to?

"Hm. After the Tower, I suppose." Ahead of the group, the Finn walked past a doorway, into a room filled with shadows.

"Do you think I could power it with saidin?"

Nameless sighed. "Wynn, could you teach me some of that shadow realm magic you do?"

Refer to rules 511 and 512. 603. If you ever want to start a journey and need to get some fellow adventurers, just go to an inn.

Nameless patted Haly on the shoulder. "Don't worry. We can figure it out after TAAron's healed. I'll help you, okay? But right now, we really need to follow the Finn. They look about ready to murder us." With that, he started walking off towards the gathered Finn, glancing back to be sure the others followed him.

Rysn had a long conversation, and the diagram guy didn't talk. Besides that, they were performing among the easiest feats of soulcasting. Name one Soulcaster who's demonstrated more skill onscreen than Jasnah. Jasnah was fueled by a perpendicularity. Beyond that, as I said earlier, Jasnah has years of practice focusing specifically on Soulcasting, is of the Fourth ideal, and is from an order that is naturally more skilled at Soulcasting than the Lightweavers. Kaza was a savant, and the boats were small. Eleventh metal Mistborn was below average. Soulcasting objects in the cognitive realm is easier than the physical, if I'm not mistaken, and the average Lightweavers have had training from Jasnah and are still very far from pulling off combat Soulcasting.

"Uh, yeah. It might make them just kill us now to take it. Best to wait until they're forced to deal."

"They're not murder monsters, they're just... inhuman. And they'd want to heal humans because we can give them something valuable."

"The Finn are extremely skilled in healing. If anyone can fix TAAron, it'll be them."

"No need to apologize. I sort of know how you feel. Except I felt much worse, of course."

Unintelligible dragged Rhehbbhehckaugh back in by complementing her name. "It's the most beautiful name I've ever heard."

"Haly! Calm down. However hard your powers are to control, they can't be as bad as mine." Nameless glanced at the Finn, who were getting quite agitated. "Didn't we agree to follow those guys?"

They both did it in several seconds. Rysn had time to explain how she'd gotten the soulcaster and warn The Lopen to hold his breath before she managed to transform stone. The diagram's soulcaster gave Szeth time to speak several sentences before he completed his soulcasting. Considering how little we see people soulcasting, I'd say that's not true Jasnah fought for hours using soulcasting intermittently, true, but she was at the Fourth ideal, and didn't male any giant chunks of stone. Oil is far more efficient, in that regard. And while Lightweavers can soulcast at a distance, the way Brandon phrased that answer implies to me that it isn't something an average LIghtweaver can do. Even if they can, accurately and quickly creating a large mass of stone around a moving object would be very difficult, if not impossible, for anyone who isn't Jasnah. In a few seconds a Mistborn can move more than a small building away, and also we don't see singular soulcasters making entire buildings at a time, so far as I know. Closest we get is five of them making a stormbreak in the warcamps, and Jasnah using the perpendicularity stormlight to repair the wall of Thaylen city. All Mistborn are dead, but we can see their average skill from the books. We can also see a Lightweaver's average skill from the books. I will admit that the current Lightweavers probably haven't quite reached what the eventual average will be, but even so they're nowhere near Jasnah's level. None of them have displayed the capability to soulcast at a distance, and I doubt they've even tried soulcasting people. Jezrien is dead. His soul decayed and he passed on to the Beyond.

It's... nevermind. You have a better idea? I've never been able to cut connections like Rand. I don't know of anyone else who could do that, actually.

"Are you? Because before you came along, I was healing everyone just fine." I am not going to go into the world of dreams.

"I'm a perfectly good healer, thank you very much. And don't worry, it will." Do you have any idea how to do that? Because I don't.

"Nothing like a little fear of death to keep your willpower up!"

"Just remember, if you let Malum take you over, I won't hesitate to murder you."

"Yeah, well don't. I'd hate to stab you again."

"Why is everyone here determined to get themselves killed? If we leave you, the Finn will kill you."

No, they both took several seconds to do so. And transforming the air is more difficult than transforming stone, according to Jasnah. First off, it would take a bit, second off, the electrum shadows would provide ample warning, and third off, if the Lightweaver misses they've just used a ton of Stormlight, and trapped themselves in stone. The other lightweavers, even after training from Jasnah are not skilled enough to use soulcasting in combat.
