Which totally makes sense for him to do. Instead of just dismissing his plate, why not take the time and effort to shrink it down to be completely form fitting, which would require a complete resize of basically every single piece. And also, you have to do it before catching Lirin, because he didn't see any of it.

All Plate is massive. Would it be in any way possible to hug someone wearing that and not be able to feel the plate? That chestplate sticks out a couple inches off their chest. So either Kaladin got himself form-fitting Shardplate with no pieces that jut out oddly on his arms or chest, or the armor simply went intangible.

Nameless started watching a movie that was never made.

I think it's more that it stops healing little things as much. If you're running out of stormlight you have to start breathing again, for example. In chapter 2 of WoR, Kaladin is talking to the bridgemen normally as they get tattoos. Kaladin sits down to get a tattoo, and this happens: Then the thing I quoted earlier happens, and then Kaladin banishes the light on purpose: Also, Your size thing is totally off. Shardbearers are always described as massive and looming. This isn't real-life armor that has to be carried by normal people. This is fantasy power armor that lets you crush steel in your bare hands and immobilizes when it runs out of power. a couple millimeters thick is not consistent with the art in the books themselves either. Look at the shardbearer art in WoR and tell me that it would be in any way possible for someone to not notice that plate when being hugged.

Healing slows down with less Stormlight, or even almost entirely stops. Yeah? Well Kaladin had to forcibly expel the Stormlight from his system. He was talking normally with Stormlight in him, and yet it stayed with him until he intentionally got rid of it.

Have you ever tried to get a bottle completely empty of all water? There's always a few drops left, even after turning it upside down. But if their skin pores stay the same size yet leak less Stormlight, why would the mouth be any different?

Oops. I was on mobile. Fixed now .

Midius sent back a very insulting message that implied very strongly that Thaidakar should deal with his problems by himself.

Moni began considering how to describe eating and drinking to a survey.

In that it was awe-inspiring and amazing that lemonade could taste so utterly horrible.

It tasted awful.

I don't see why you wouldn't leak less when you're breathing when you leak less normally too.

Yes it will, because you leak less when you breath.

We don't know that it was a fraction of a chip. We just know that it was enough that she started breathing again. And again, she is vastly better at holding Stormlight than Kaladin was in WoR.

It doesn't. However, he talks with stormlight in him, and it doesn't immediately run out. Jasnah is 2 ideals above him at least. Uh, have you seen shardplate's art? It's thicker than a few millimeters. And it's a different shape than a normal human chest. Or you could just let the spren keep watch while you sleep and solidify if needed.

Moni covertly handed 655 a bowl of her stew behind Thaidakar's back.

That WoB seems innacurate to me, because we do know that the Bands were running out of nicrosil. Wax specifically thinks to himself that the parts of them that changed his levels of investiture were running low.

Kaladin hugged Lirin. The chestplate is definitely far enough away from Kaladin's chest that it would have been really weird for Lirin to feel as if Kaladin was hugging him without it. Whatever the case, whether Shardplate can be invisible but still solid or not, it doesn't change the usefulness of the armor dramatically. You can summon it instantly, so surprise attacks are still of the table.

If that was the case, then why did he think about the fact that stormlight leaks verily slowly when you only have a tiny amount? You’d still notice. At least somebody would have been like “woah, did Kaladin’s hands get bigger?”

I’m guessing that the reason for the rule is to keep people on the island. The Arthur’s are oceans, but most planets in the Cosmere aren’t dominated by the oceans. Given that and the fact that there seems to be no shortage of wood, I think it likely that there are large landmasses mostly free of spores.

Plate doesn’t drain stormlight, or at least if it does it’s an imperceptible amount. Kaladin had stormlight in him when bridge 4 was getting their tattoos. It was a very small amount, and he was talking and breathing normally. He also didn’t realize he had stormlight till his tattoo healed away, so if Jasnah was running very low on stormlight, she would still have felt a noticeable difference when she got more. Your quotes. Even if the armor transferred a sense of touch, you’d still recognize that your hand stopped a couple inches touching Kaladin. Hm. That is dead plate, but I see your point. However, that doesn’t mean that living plate doesn’t need stormlight. It could also be able to hold a small amount of stormlight, like when Shallan pushed stormlight into pattern.

Considering there has to be a law that you can’t leave the rock, there’s probably large areas of land in other places where trees can grow safely. And if it rains over the ocean, it probably makes a lot of plants.

Hoid could also be telling the story to some random person we've never heard of. It could be a child, from the way he talked about the ocean of spores.

If that was the case, then you'd never run out of F-nicrosil when using a medallion. It would be a complete transferal of power from the storer to you.

Or maybe there's giant Larkins living in the oceans eating all the excess.
