  1. Two issues with that: Whether or not the sword she uses to Kill Tyn is Pattern or not Pattern say summoning him cannot be instantaneous because he's too far, which means he could have drawn him as a sword at that time and therefore was 2nd truth with him at that time Shallan is 3rd truth at the end of WoR
  2. Elsecallers' and Willshapers' Perpendicularities don't seem to create light (Jasnah's one in WoR didn't anyway). I don't think Lightweavers can create Perpendicularities, they can slip to Shadesmare but that's only mixing two realms while Perpendicularities are a zone where the three realms are mixed.
  3. It's almost certain indeed Yolish's microkinesis is stupidly broken, I'm not sure how small the smallest moveable item is with it but Kriss talked about axis so it can't be bigger than molecule which already open a whole realm of chemistry processes we real humans can't explore. If it's the individual atoms composing the molecules it's the same thing but worse, you could extract the oxygen from water or transform a pencil lead to a big diamond. If it's the nucleons you're can transform nucleus. I don't even want to imagine what would happen if you it's quarks. From Reverse Lashings being described as an hybrid of Adhesion and Gravitation it seems impossible the Windrunners were not supposed to have access to spiritual Adhesion. Windrunners drawing people seems just to be that that order tend to attract leaders. Shallan transforming people didn't seems supernatural to me in any way. Also I think we shouldn't just search for Spiritual versions of the Surges but for "extended" version instead, for example some people have hypothesised the Perpendicularity creation was an hybrid of Spiritual Adhesion and some kind of conceptual Tension The idea of making Shadesmare softer doesn't seem very spiritual to me. (also note that Perpendicularity creation being an Hybrid surge would explain why Ishar can make one) The Shardplate thing is probably just something that was lost to memory. Also don't forget Syl was young when she bounded her human and probably doesn't know everything she should. I absolutely don't see why you see Honour as the one codifying the forces. Codifying human interaction maybe? No you'd actually need at to add least Devotion and Odium. And saying Aon Shao mirror is a kind of a strech. They have similar effect but absolutely not the same means to create it. On one hand parting a Highstorm is something we've seen Syl do in WoK and that can be explained by wind manipulation but on the the other hand the fact that they don't seem to be able to use Adhesionn the surge of pressure, to create wind add credit to your theory it's been nerfed. Even assuming Windrunners can create stormlight they'll never create enough to make a stable black hole, in fact the biggest black hole they could make would explode instantly with a power similar to what Jasnah would already be able to produce. I'm pretty sure light creation is the Boundsmiths' Resonance (and creating Perpendicularities that leaks tons of light their hybrid Surge, I know it seems a bit redundant) Ishar displayed the exact same kind-of-foresight ability in RoW Time travel to the past is impossible in the Cosmere
  4. Now I want to know who was that guy supposed to be and what was supposed to be in place of that picture of Jashna^^
  5. Allow me to rephrase. I don't think Szeth is at the Fourth Ideal, I think the Highspren offered to Szeth to go at the Fourth Ideal because he had already proven himself. I had understood the "I would have" as an elevated language version if "I'd like to" but I'm not a native speaker so I could easily be wrong. The idea of giving Szeth a new Crusade because he's alredy proved his worth feels weird to me but Highsprens are supposed to be obsessed by rule so I guess it's possible. I removed the part about Anti-Ambition so it should be better
  6. If this theory is true Chana would have respawned significantly before Taln did, since he said he was late. I'd bet on slightly before the moment Ulim met Venli On one hand I like this theory, especially since the Heralds with the attributes of Loving and Healing becoming an assassin fit perfectly the "corruption of the attributes" hypothesis, on the other hand Of course she could have some weak shapeshifting abilities, but there's no evidence of that
  7. With RoW we've had exactly two informations about the Skybreaker order, and they change everything The first is this one So the fourth Ideal is about proving your dedication and worth and not about actually doing something, it's about how you will complete your crusade and in Szeth's case him not going on his crusade proved he was worthy to be given a plate and to possibility to advance to the Fifth Ideal. Then there's the real new information, one about the elusive Fifth Ideal. In the italic part the Highspren implies that by swearing the fifth oath will liberate Szeth from his Third Ideal. This seems to clash with the fact that one of the Highsprens' grievances against the Honourspren was the latter's willingness to forgive people from breaking oaths but it actually doesn't, having an oath has an end condition is not the same as breaking an oath. In the bolded part the Highspren explains what the 5th oath means: "I'm now able to give myself rules on how to live and follow them. And I'm confident these rules will be just" The path of the Skybreaker is therefore the following 1st Oath: accept to start the path, get absolved from any previous crimes. 2nd Oath: a more experienced member accept to guide you on the path. If there was more 5th Oath Skybreaks I suspect only them would take squires, as they're the most able to guide someone on this path. 3rd Oath: chose a clear set of law and learn of it, it's strengths and limitations 4th Oath: prove you're able to stay true to your Oaths under duress, that you will not compromise even if it allow you 5th Oath: use what you've learned to become a person able to Autonomously chose their own laws and uphold them. Yes. Capital A. A Fifth Oath Skybreaker is, if I'm right about the 5th Oath, the best candidate for someone able to hold both Honour and Autonomy. I don't think Honour made the Skybreakers to be that way, he didn't really make them anyway, I think it's just the usual "the Order resemble the Herald" (which by the way we have no idea why it happens) and Nale was attuned to Honour+Autonomy. Which may or may not part of why Honour chose him. Actually, I'd say other Heralds where attuned to Honour+x, possibly each of them Jezrien, Herald of Kings: Dominion+Honour. A good king, putting protecting and caring for his people the most important priority Chana: Ruin+Honour. Destruction fettered and given purpose by Honour Paliah, who had the attribute of Learned: Honour+Cultivation, equal Science. Ishar: Honour+Odium Taln: maybe Devotion+Honour, the Stoneward are noted to be the order with the members the closest to their Herald and their motto "I'll be there when I'm needed" fit decently with the "I'll be there for you" idea I think Devotion+Honour would be the incarnation of. Now back to the Skybreakers. You might have noticed that current day Skybreakers are kind of stuck, most of them stay at the third oath and those who try the fourth take decades to fulfil it which... How? I get taking time to chose a Crusade, but Szeth managed to be deemed worthy of skipping the fourth oath after a year, of doing nothing. And none of them reached the Fifth Oath in centuries. I think it's because they don't understand their path. The 4th Oaths Skybreakers told Szeth there'd be no game here but when asked about the Fifth Oath he refused to understand saying that it was unimportant despite that -if anything I said until here is true- the 5th Oath is not only the most important of the five, but the only one that will matter in the end except for the first. Without this the Skybreakers get stuck at the 3rd-4th Oath. I think it could even be the reason Nale took so much time befor endorsing them, and I suspect the reason he descided to endorse them after the Revv toparchy incident was either because the first 5th Oath Skybreaker was sworn there or that he had the occasion to interact with 5th Oath Skybreakers and observe they were actually not like the stuck-at-third he had met Also you might have noticed I said Nale was attuned to Honour+Autonomy. After Millenia of torture he's confidence in himself isn't as strong as before and he now advise not to swear to obey him as the Third Oath. I think if he was Fourth Oath and in this state he would not be able to swear the Fifth, and if he become any worse he'll end up breaking his 5th oath, and kicked from his own order.
  8. From what Venli said, it was a spren touched by Sja-Anat -corrupted wind or gloryspren I'd bet, but since it never spoke in Ob or WoR probably not one she made into a truespren like the windsprens from her interlude. That being said, remember what the direform regals looked like?
  9. You could have edited your last post and it'd still have pinged him
  10. Not the point. They could speak to each other in it so he can meet people in the vision. Also he did the same thing with Yanagawn and Lift decided she could get in the vision
  11. Most Cognitive Shadows actively decide to pass to the Beyond, like Rashek did. Also I think we have seen Cognitive Shadows stick around
  12. Folorian smiled looking at Alanis swearing her third ideal, he was perfectly fine with the idea of the world having been modified, he was one of Lightweaver and replacing a truth by a better one what they did. Of course for now there was no way to know if this particular truth was better or worse than the original one, which was what they needed to investigate. Your turn Agreed He took a spherical coppermind out of his pocket painted with a red cross and immediately tapped all of it --- "You managed to get the medallion?" A young blue eyed blond girl far too tall for here ten years, asked. It was almost weird to see Aliece cheerful, especially considering she would spend the following decade gloomy and cold. "Of course I did" he remembered saying, showing her a copper-nicrosil medalion of the same model he currently had in his pocket. "You really managed to get the key to the reserve?" "Better than that" She answered, leaning to whisper to his ears "I got the key to the forbidden reserve" "The forbidden Library? How did you even do that?" "My father is the one who keep this key this week, I just got lucky" Folorian was starting to see where this was going, while he had never been allowed in the forbidden reserve because of what would happen latter in the memory, he knew there was a reason it was forbidden. Of course neither him nor Aliece had known it at that time and had just assumed it was forbidden because it was cooler. --- The forbidden reserve was disappointing, in a way, it was just rows upon rows of copperminds with a number painted on each to be able to sort them. Of course they didn't have the index of which coppermind contained what, it would be be with one of the members of the inner circle, they only knew it was not with Aliece's father, the key and the index where always separated so that no one could access the memory stored here without others knowing about it. Of course this system was far from foolproof. Aliece took two copperminds at random and gave him one, he gave her the medallion. It was the last time he had ever seen her happy, wasn't it? Florian's memory tapped his coppermind -- "Is the record working Spook?" A blond man with one eye replaced by metal asked "I think so Kel. It's a very weird feeling, storing my short-term memory" "Perfect. Are you ready for the experiment?" The man who recorded the coppermind didn't answer and took a spike of a silvery metal Folorian remembered not having been able to identify when ten years old, but now recognized as either Aluminium or Duralumin. He walked to a table where an unconscious man laid and rammed the spike in the right part of his chest -an area Folorian now recognized as slightly right of the heart- with the intent to charge it with the power to remove power while not killing the person on the slab. It failed. The man died instantly and the memory ended on Kelsier swearing to rust and Ruin. -- While Folorian was catatonic from imprinting in his mind a memory of him becoming a murderer, Aliece was screaming from hers. And for a reason young Folorian hadn't understood and present Folorian feared he did, was dusting he skirt as if she was dirty. Her screams rapidly alerted the sleeping people with her father in first, who instead of comforting his obviously shaken daughter, slapped her for having emptied the coppermind. -- There was an ellipsis in the memory and Folorian remembered himself in the room he had been consigned to after the previous incident. "Folorian" despite her voice being nearly devoid of emotion he recognized Aliece's voice immediately and turned toward her, a wide smile illuminating his face "Aliece? You managed to get them to remove out interdiction to see each other?" She didn't answer and just moved slowly toward him, when it didn't look like she was going to stop before colliding with him he moved back until he was back to the wall, then she said "It's all your fault" and tried to strangle him. Thanksfully for him she didn't realy know how to do it and he was able to strugle until adults alerted by the noise came rescue him. -- The memory completly finished Folorian standed in the Emporium, visibily shocked by what he'd just remembered. It was not my fault. What was not your fault? IT WAS NOT MY FAULT. @Ashbringer@Rushu42
  13. My point still stand
  14. I was wrong the WoB doesn't say Cultivation doesn't have a Surge Some polestones seems mostly interchangeable (ruby and amethyst for example) so probably not (they're talking about Lift) I don't know how much strength Stormlight grants but I'm pretty sure it's less than that
  15. Corrupted windsprens act nothing like him so probably not
  16. Hoid call him the Lord of Scars, he has been punched by Hoid and there's currently important trouble on his planet. Only Kel fit the two first description. The Avatar thing is because he doesn't know how to get offworld (for the same reason Kelek cannot) and appears as an avatar because that's the only way he can speak to people on other stellar systems.
  17. I don't remember him giving the Investiture back and he mentioned the Bands was far less full than before
  18. Seekers can hear the all of Roshar's and Odium's Rythms, period. None of the known metal should have that power except maybe Lerasium, and using it that way would be stupid. But I think I would steal the ability to grow a Gemheart over just one form The problem is not to bring your spren with you, it's that your spren anchor you to the planet
  19. Kelsier Marsh, because it's obvious he added double-nicrosil+double-aluminium to his powers to effectively remove the mind control issue Wax, because he's a fullborn now Ishar with the Dawnshard Known to bind mortal and voidish creatures alike Suzeborn In Shadesmare: Jashna or Battar These are Dawnshard spoilers but the spoiler season end tomorrow so I guess behind a spoiler box it's ok He was compounding, his powers where far stronger than old allomancy, which was more at the Elend level Then just compound a bit.
  20. Shallan doesn't swear any truth at this moment. Her truths are currently "I'm affraid", "I killed my father" and "I killed my mother", for Pattern at least, it's unkown how it works for Testament, if it even works at all
  21. I think you're confusing Taln and Kelek as well as RoW and WoR.
