    Nameless banished all the withergeists to the shadow realm, then had Unintelligible launch the Dark Troopers into the gathered Ghanderflaffle assault force before they could recover.
  2. NameIess
    Nameless ignored all the large chainsaws, rocket launchers, laser cannons, and shovels, instead going straight for a locked chest at the back of his armory. Inside it was a small dagger with the word 'death' inscribed on the sheath in the ancient tongue. He smiled, nodding to himself as he tucked it into his cloak.

    Fortunately, Nameless was ready for the attack. While Moni distracted the attackers with tea and biscuits, Unintelligible prepped the modified Dark Troopers he'd bought from a shady guy on the black market and Nameless geared up at his armory.

    Solids are much denser, but in order to use Abrasion to uncap speed for Gravitation, you’d pass through a ton of air.
  5. NameIess
    But that was irrelevant.

    They ate the ice cream right in front of the poor people who were actually exercising. It was an enjoyable tradition.
  7. NameIess
    This was rather odd.

    How do you know the opposite? It seems to me that it's just a matter of perception. Why would it be a matter of power?

    They're broken enough to kill the spren. Kaladin never completely broke his oaths as Shallan did, and it seems that the Stormfather might have intervened to save Syl as well. If Sig's had his oaths broken for multiple planets, he would need to reswear them as Shallan did, or swear a new oath as Kaladin did. Why do we say: 'my brother is gone' instead of 'my brother was killed'? Right, sorry. Still, not someone he's going to lie to on purpose.

    It's pretty different from trace metals. This one is just based on perception, not power.
  11. NameIess
    Their powers do not function as they are now. Sig can't Surgebind. Why not? Did the Dawnshard mutate his spren that much? That's a bad comparison. A better one would be: Why do we say my brother is dead and not I killed my brother. And remember that this is his internal dialogue, not some lie he's telling to anyone besides himself. Interesting.
  12. NameIess
    This wasn't due to powers, it was due to the oaths. How are the oaths still functional after he broke them enough to kill his spren, and has not resworn them? And if he broke them only recently, why is Aux so chill about it? Why would he say that his oaths 'ended' instead of saying 'I broke my oaths'. Not proof. And I don't think he surgebound anywhere.
  13. NameIess
    But they did. He was able to summon Aux as a weapon while protecting the raiders, something that he wasn't able to do otherwise Because the powers are separate from the oaths you swear. You can draw in Stormlight because of the spren you're bonded to, but the oaths change your spiritweb. I disagree with those reasons.f

    I see no reason that an Edgedancer's phasing would be like Soulcasters in that way as opposed to being more like healing, which relies solely on the individual's perception. Besides that, even Soulcasters can overcome perception with enough training, so Edgedancers should be able to as well.

    So my assumption that a CS can form a shapeshifting Blade is unbased but your assumption that a deadeyes can isn't? Sigzil's oaths are broken, in your estimation. How, then, is he able to use them in order to overcome his Torment, without re-swearing them first? When oaths are sworn as part of a spren bond, they have an effect on the soul. It's not that they are powered by Investiture that allows them to overcome the Torment, but that they change the Spiritweb, probably in a somewhat similar way to a Dawnshard. When the Spren dies, the effect of the oaths on the Radiant's Spiritweb won't just vanish. I just figured that there's something odd about Aux, and that him being a CS would explain why things are odd. Besides that, he refers to himself as dead despite being very not dead, by spren standards. He can talk, use magic, doesn't seem to have any cognitive problems like Maya, and can transform into a living Blade. What about that is 'dead' as opposed to just different?
  16. NameIess
    I don't think it works like that. The way I see it, soulcasting part of an object is much harder not because you have to fight other's perceptions of it, but because you have to perceive of it properly. Again, I don't think everyone's perception matters, merely the individuals. Soulcasting part of an object is a matter of overcoming your own perception. For an example from another magic system: (Mistborn) I think it would break the themes of the Edgedancers if they were able to phase through anything. As cool as it would be to have some really old edgedancer with a lifetime of training start phasing through bullets and whatnot, I don't think that's the route Brandon wants to go. I think a much easier explanation is that Lift just didn't notice the greatly reduced effect of air resistance. (To be honest, I don't really know what kind of effect removing friction would have. Is anyone here smart enough to figure that out?)

    After the funeral ended, no one was actually sad. Their feelings were irrational.
  18. NameIess
    A few other nonexistent people showed up, including Santa Claus.
  19. NameIess
    This was a valid concern, as it turned out, since he didn’t actually exist.
  20. NameIess
    Meanwhile, the ninjas waited in the sidelines, hoping for an opportunity to strike out at the Narrators.
  21. NameIess
    Then Nin challenged Sam to a fight to show him how to respect the traditions of the past.
  22. NameIess
    Nin quickly explained that an R.C.M.K was a Really Cool Magic Katana.
  23. NameIess
    Sam had a journey that was twice as cool and awesome as Nin’s then came back with two R.C.M.K’s
  24. NameIess
    So Nin became Sam's awesome mentor guy.

    Adolin has a bond with Maya, but she hasn't shapeshifted either. No you haven't, at least not that I can see. You said that Sig must have broken his oaths recently, but that doesn't explain how he was able to summon a Shardblade by relying on his oaths. No you haven't. You've relied on an baseless assumption, namely that oaths not linked to a spren bond will have no effect on a Torment. Because Aux is the one with the powers. And there is a difference between it being your fault that somebody is dead and killing them. Yeah. And Nahel bonds are the ones that grant Blades. So if you get into a Nahel bond with a CS, it stands to reason that you'd be able to summon them as a Shardblade.
