Oh yeah, apparently it was already in tWoK

Szeth is 37? Did we know that? Is this a typo? Am I bad at Math?

If Dalinar ascends to Honor, then loses the conflict/dies in the conflict, I don't think he will be the Shard anymore, as he will be dead and the shard will drop again.

Doesn't seem implausible, considering this WOB: So there seems to be a connection to Honor

I don't know if you are familiar with an Alcubierre Drive. But it's basically a mechanism to warp the spacetime around you (the space in front of you is contracted and the space behind is expaded). If you employ two opposing speedbubbles correctling, at least that is the line the questioner was thinking along, you could mimic these effects. Of course these bubbles need to be large enough to fit a spaceship in there, but with correct usage of primer cubes this could work out pretty well.

Brandon doesn't want to confirm if Hoid has Feruchemy or not. But the way he answeres these questions feels to me, like Hoid does have it, or at least something similar.

The most infurating to me is Shallon.

I think the time, that Kelsier is a CS is too short, to have a "turn into a spren" effect on him. A lot of the Fused, even though they get more ans more crazy, are not sprenlike, ans they didn't have a physical body for over 4500 year. And they have been killed over and over before, what progresses the crazyness more than just being alive. If he turned into a Spren, I don't think it would be a/the Survival Spren, because he wasn't made into a CS with the intent/command to survive, but by the overwhelming amount of Investiture in the WoA. From the short time Kelsier held the Shard of Preservation, we know that his personality doesn't align well with Preservation, so the time in the Well did not leave a huge mark on him. I think in term of mechanics, they should behave like Spren, I'm thinking of sentient Spren like the Radiant Spren. The different types of Spren have own cultures and personalities, etc. so that should work for anyone who is a cognitive entity. Imho, the main difference between a CS with and one without physical body is their power level. Because of their missing connection the PR their lack a huge portion of power, like Kelsier in the fight against Ruin.

In Oathbringer we learned about the content of the Eila Stele, a fragment text written in Dawnchant, the old language of the Dawnsingers. Through the translation of this text, we got to know that the histrorical Voidbringer were in fact humans who came from Ashyn, one of the other planets in the Rosharan System, and not the Singers. As the Radiants of old learned about this, and about what led to the disparture from Ashyn, they were worried about their powers leading to another destruction. This alone would not have led to the Recreance, as this has happened before and through Honor, the Radiants often managed to cope with their feelings. The problem during the time of the Recreance was, that Honor was dieing and going mad. Instead of comforting the Radiants about the past, he was ranting about history repeating itself and the supposed destruction of Roshar through the hands of the Radiants. Because of this desperation, the Radiants and their Spren agreed on letting their oaths behind and to part ways. Little did they know, that this would kill their Spren leading to a Genocide among many Radiantprens. Now it gets a bit difficult, because as of now, the Oathpact is still "working". The Heralds are still Connected to each other, what we see in them reacting to the death of Jezrien. Furthermore, Taln was able to give the Humans on Roshar 4.500 years of peace, which would not have been possible if the Oathpact was broken. Well, the pact is really almost broken down, but until now it still stands. Iirc, Jasnah wanted to kill the Heralds to seal the fused back on Braize, like it was before, not out of spite for breaking an Oath

Yeah, this always bothered me. I really don't like the book title. And I wouldn't be surprised to find out, that they didn't notice it by themselves. On the other hand, most of the German book titles are really bad and do not fit the english ones, so it doens't surprise me either, that Edgedancer got messed with.

"Die Tänzerin am Abgrund" is also only the title for the Shortstory and not the Edgedancer Radiants. The Radiants are called "Grattänzer", where "Grat" is "ridge" in English, but it has an awesome nice ring to it.

I want to throw in this WoB to the argument: If the Misting can hear the Rhythms, they must be playing in the Background, like all the time.

Yes Okay, so after all, I think I have to agree with you. And thank you for the short digression. But where do you think we should put Investiture in the equation? Is Investiture another form of Energy, or is everythink just a form of Investiture?

Oh I'd never dare insulting Maths. Maths is awesome. Just the Maths in Physics are often, let's say interesting. I'm studying Maths myself, so that was never meant as an insult. That was a typo. Should have been "or". Possible that I confused the terms, I'm not a native speaker myself, so a bit gets lost in translation. But what I meant was the inner Energy of a closed system. But I didn't want to get too technical here, as I'm not an expert myself. I know that the total energy of a system also includes the mass of the matter. Is it called rest energy in english? Iirc matter can't just be converted to energy and vice versa. Like you can't just destroy protons, neutrons and electrons and gain energy from that. But as I said, I'm not deep enough into that, so I can be wrong about this. After further reading I'm even more confused than before and I'm kind of getting the feeling, that these are all just different forms of energy and that matter equals the rest mass energy. In top there are other forms like heat, kinetics, potential, etc.?

I'm not 100% certain on this topic as I'm fortunately not studying physics (It's super interesting but the Maths is a pain in the ass). But we know from the relativity Theorie that E=m*c^2, with E being the inner oder free Energy of a mass m, and the lightspeed c. With this equation we are able to calculate the energy that is "produced" by nuclear fission and fusion. As in our universe nothing can really be created, but only converted, that energy needs to come from somewhere. This energy results from the massdefect from nuclear reaction. So in our universe there are two states. Energy vs matter. They can be converted into the other one, but they are definitely different things. This can then be applied to the Cosmere. The only difference here, we have three states. Energy, matter and Investiture. They can be converted into each other, but something cannot be two at the same time. So a stone is made up of matter. The Energy of it's atomic bonds is keeping it together. And it probably has Investiture to some degree. I hope this makes sense. This is the WoB I was referring to. So in conclusion matter and energy are different "forms", maybe the wrong word but can't think of something better rn, of the thing the universe is made of. And the Cosmere there are three of these forms.
