Scars are part of his history, part who he is. He is probably even proud of them, so they wont heal. Also, if he has not enough Stormlight, it will heal only the most dangerous wounds and nothing left for more. Also, we know that dark Eyes not become light right after becoming Radiant. Kal get his eyes light when he progressed in Oaths. And they dont last long.

It have to be magical healing (normal Investiture healing mean - restoring spiritual/cognitive ideal), not just fast regeneration, simply because there are parts of body what cannot be simply regrow - Wayne mention that he broke his spine many times, and this isnt damage what can be simply regenerate. We also saw Miles's body actively pulling out shot from wound. We also know that Aluminum in wound will stop F-Gold based healing - if this would be simply regeneration, it aluminum shouldnt have any effect (besides physicly blocing wound like any other metal) So yes, practicly F-Gold works like Stormlight healing. Difference is, F-Gold has more limited power source (in terms of raw power) - only humans inner Investiture. You practicly storing your Ideal Self-Image in metalmind converted into Investiture and when you need to tap it, you actively rostiring this Image. And this is why Gold Compounding is the purest Investiture Healing.

You can expect this. This sword can literally vaporized Thunderclast, also Odium is aware (and probably scared) of this blade - he directly ordered one Fused to steal sheeth, living Szeth to die - with sheeth someone will probably gather blade later. Also, Szeth is in the jail. It was probably political agreement of some sort, or Dalinar want to siply hide him from other rulers - they suspect that Alethi want to conquer them, is no need to hit them with Assasin in the White person following Dalinars every step.

Yeah, I had the same feeling. Adolin is able to reconise his wife's personalities, so its possible that he will be the one who force Last Truth from Shallan. He will listen all of four of them and this will help Shallan and kick him forward to become Radiant. Reading last Chapter I also had feeling that Adolin will be the one who will be mediator between Venli's fraction and Dalinar. Remember, he was connected to Eshonai in few ways (first he listen to her, later he kills her).

Im on @StanLemon s side. Steel is very wide term and describe various alloys. Many of them cannot be even manufactured without proper technology - and we dont hear about blast fournaces. Have they even coal on Roshar? We dont hear about mines. They may have steel good enough for making weapons, but have they steel good enough for precise fabrials? Yeah, they can soulcast it - but they need to find proper alloy physicly first, they cannot just soulcast whatever they imagine. Of course all what @Innovation mentioned matters, but Navani is very specific - they dont know proper metal.

I dont see 3 Bondsmiths interfer with each other, simply because they would have different roles. Stormfathers Bonsmith as War Bondsmith, Nightwatchers as Economy/Population Bonsmith, Siblings as Sience Bondsmith. And yes, one of them will be on paper superior to others simply for practical reasons, but probably they will be more like triuumvirat.

As you see, external/internal thing is more about energy source but what about thinking as Feruchemy is always internal, and Allomancy always external? Internal effect of Allomancy is, nomen omen, effect, and clasification metod, but mechanism can be external. In 1st Era, when they did clasification, they didnt have all information. And you can see wierd mind gymnastic when Kel was talking to Vin about Copper and Bronze. Lets go through metals: Iron - this is easy A-external, F-Internal. Of course, weight generate gravity, but still is Internal change Steel - the same. Tin - Allomantic Tin is external, because is adding additional information to senses or brain from external source. Body is absorbing the sameamount of data from environment, but gains more information. In this case we can see "dimnisher effect" - senses need less stimuls to work with standard strengh Feruchemical Tin is internal, because works internal - simply by changing sensitivity of senses in conventional way. Pewter - This is very similar to Tin. Allomantic Pewter is external, because is prowiding additional strengh to muscles without physicly changing them. So this strengh must be external. Feruchemical Pewter changes directly muscle mass and strengh. Internaly. Zinc - Easy one, no need to explain. We can find External effect of Feruchemy - its speeding up processing of external information. But still I think A-external F-Internal as a whole. Brass - Also easy one. If you want to, you can find external effect of brass, but this will be strech. Copper - As I mention earlier, A-Copper is clearly external. Is hiding drom detection, and I think is not shielding (pasivly) but in fact is Interfering with Bronze. Bronze - the same as Copper. Gives additional external information about environment. Cadmium - easy one, no need to explain. Bendalloy - The same. Gold - Similary like Tin and Bronze, A-Gold is providing you with information from external source - Spiritual realm. Electrum - the same as Gold. Aluminum - A-Aluminum is external, because is activly pulling out Investiture. Is like vacuum cleaner. F-Aluminum - Identity is as Internal as something can be. Duralumin - A-Duralumin is external because is working opposite to Aluminum - is pushing into body additional Investiture. F-Duralumin is Internal, because is modifying Connection of Feruchemist to things around. Chromium - Easy one. A-Chromium is directing A-Aluminum effect on someone else. And we dont know much about Fortune. Nicrosil - Also Easy one. A-Nicrosil is similar to A-Duralumin. F-Nicrosil is storing Innate Investiture - internal human Investiture. Probably need some hacking to store something else. I know Im now shaking the system, but I think easier is see Internal-external division as only nomenclature, artificial construct made for easier clasification. Like early Linneus system for animals.

This theory is bit streched, bu I think its interesting. Maybe some others have it, but I didnt see anything similar. We know, that Roshar Planet and Roshar System number is 10. Everything on Roshar is revolving around this number - ten Surges, ten Essences, ten Radiant Orders and so on. But is one incosistency. We have only 9 types of Inteligent Spren, Radiants Spren. Bondsmith Godspren are not "type" every one of them is unique. So should be one more type of inteligent spren. So where they are? Answer - bonded in Surge Fabrials. Soulcasters, Regrowth Fabrials, Oathgates etc. This type of Spren can be called Servespren - they like to help Humans. They can form Nahel Bond, but they dont like possibility to serve just one human/few humans, so they dont want to. In exchange, they chose to have artificiall bodies - Fabrials - and grant their powers to anyone. And is one more Spren who did the same thing - Godspren Sibling. They have artificiall body - Urithiru - and serve everybody. I think Sibling is related to those Spren in the same way Stormfather is related to Honorspren - can be literaly "parrent" for them, can create them, and also can "grow" bodies for them. Yes, I think Soulcasters were not made, they grew in Urithiru. They can be made, of course, as normal fabrials, but first soulcasters probably grew. Servespren can grant any Surge, but only one, and it is limited by his body - Fabrial. You can ask - witch surges can Servespren grant, if he is Bonded by proper Nahel Bond? Its simple - Adhesion and Tension (in physical aspects).

Compounding is more Allomancy than Feruchemy. You using Preservation Power filtered with Invested Metal - basicly you have magic Focus corelated with you,a dn this is what you really do, only change Focus - basicly full mealminds ate just new metal (physicly identical, but magicly different). Yep, thats right. But they are stil "controling device". Gemstone can be, and Spren is freed. one way or other, Spren is lost.

I think this can be similar (in smaller scale) to relation Shard-vessel. Mean, after bonding with Yelig-Nar, host instinctively know what he can do with Surges and how, but he has to learn how to use them efficiently. He know how to make Lashing, but he need to learn precise directions or strengh of it, and so on. We also know that host of Yelig-Nar, similary to Fused, can have limited access to Investiture and Progression is very Investiture-Intensive - so maybe Amaram heal himself only to some point after fall, and then stops and uses Tension to keep fighting.

Singers gemheart is integrated with their bones. And bones are partialy made from metal - in humans case it is calcium, but Singers are build differently. But I agree, Singers are not Fabrials. Or not conventional ones. It seems like their forms are more similar to Feruchemy - Spren trapped in Gemheart is using Singer inner Investiture. They need Stormlight (or Voidlight) to fuel Change - change form is mainly mind chnage (to be more similar to spren Intent), and when Change is complete, Spren needs only Inner Investiture of Singer. Also, Fabrials seems to work on basic level as "reversed" Allomancy. In Allomancy metals are Focus of magic, and they are destroyed in process. And "controling device" is Allomancer - living mind. In Fabrials Spren (living mind) trapped in gemstone is Focus of magic, he is not destryoed, but gemstone can be. And "controling device" is metal cage.

Also, you canot unconsciously swear oaths. As well as you cannot accidently stabb someone into heart and gain hemalurgic spike, or you cannot Awake with random phrase, and you cannot tap unsealed metalmind without knowing its purpose. Magic on Cosmere requires Intent.

I have theory that any conjoiner/reverser pair of fabrials is in fact one fabrial, and have one spren splited in to halves, and this is painfull process. So if this is true, that ship powered by thousands of conjoiners, with need to replace them after trip with next thousands, will be very drastic for spren. I also like theory about Shin.

Probably, like you need exact shape of Aons, similarly you need exact shape of wires. So addet new can do nothing at best, or even cause malfunction of fabrial.

"Merly fair" is much, much more than many, many lighteyes. He dont show as special interest to change social status quo, but wy have his PoV, we can read his thoughts and we know that he treats all people equaly. He probably smply doesnt think about darkeyes situation - but this can change now. He is Shardbearer and Highprince now, but at the same point, Radiant Squire is more valiable in battle. In some sence, his situation now is similar to high-ranked darkeyes earlier - often with money and prestige, but still with lower social status than lowest lighteyes. This wierd status can force Adolin to re-think about social structure. Also, as I mention, he is Highprince now. For highprince, second and third Ideal of Edgedancers could be very important. So this can be it - he would be listening people whole days. So is he perfect Edgedancer? No. But is he Edgedancer material? Definitly yes. And come on. Windrunner yes, he fits very well. Stoneward yes, he fits, but debatable - he even dont like war at all. But Elsecaller? He fits Elsecaller main goal, but this is it. He dont fit with temperament and with self-controll. He also tend to be daring. Dustbringer? - Adolin like to keep things whole, not deconstruct them. But he remembers that this sword is more than just Blade, even before he meets her in Shadesmar.

Its possible that, like with Allomantic Soothing and Rioting is possible to achieve similar effects with opposite actions. For example, you can have heater normaly with pewter cage set by deafult to emit heat, but with addition of steel and iron elements it can be set to absorb heat (with the same strengh). So it would work as dimnisher, but not directly, but more like anti-Augmenter. Spook thoughts in Hero of Ages coms to mind.

But is still not THAT popular. This still is new invention, and this is in text. We have little bit shifted view, because Dalinar as highprince and marshal, has many of them, but this is not norm. For example, Shallan is surprised than Tyn has one, and Scar and Drehy are described as "lucky" because they met merchant with one. Is like telegraph in late 18th century. Popular and usefull, but its not like everyone has one. And you miss the point. Im not talking how popular spanreeds are, im talking that they look like "normal writing reeds" - and this mean, they are not made from metal.

Dont think so. Is clearly stated in text that spanreeds looks like standard writing reeds, with attached gem on side. In pre-industrial world, metal writing devices sometimes apear, but they were not very popular, much more were popular quills or, nomen-omen, reeds. First mass-produced metal pens in our world apear in 19th century! Before that, metal pens were simply too expensive. Birds arent very popular on Roshar, so Rosharans probably use Reeds - we also saw Reeds used to other purposes. So if spanreed is metal, will not be describe as "looking as normal writing reed" but "looking as a fancy metal writing reed" Is also other thing. During writing with spanreed writer has to hold double mass of pen - on his side and on another side. So is very clear that pen needs to be as light as possible - should be even lighter than "standard" pen.

Im against Sibling being involed because: 1. Is "Slumbering" 2. Any spren whitch is against hurting other spren will not use spren-fueled device. But I like concept of Herald and Sleepless cooperating. Sleepless were Radiants and Heralds allies during Desolations, so its very possible that Sleepless and Heralds know each other, unless some of them.

"Zostawcie go w spokoju" is for masculine person. This will mean "Leave him alone". And we all know that Sibling is neither male or female. Luckily, in Polish we have also neutral person. More common for objects, but not uncommon for people either. Good example is "Child" - "Dziecko". Child is "it" in Polish (like in German, where you have "das Kind"). Example: When you see few people bullying child and to stop them, you will shout: Zostawcie go (Leave him) - if this is boy. Zostawcie ją (Leave her) - if this is girl Zostawcie je - if you cannot tell its boy or girl so you relate to "child". Neutral person. But, this sentence is interesting because in Polish, dependent on context, "Zostawcie je" can mean also "Leave it" (singular neutral) and "Leave them" (if "they" are plural feminine or neutral. For plural masculine, will be "Zostawcie ich"). So cannot be used against your theory, without context is perfectly ambiguous.

Conjoiners and Reversers are wierd fabrials. Maybe because how popular they are, noone looks at the difference between them and "normal" fabrials. They dont need cages. Navani in new chapter just casualy pick up ruby and place it on reed. Also, this ruby was active alone, without reed (or anything). Earlier, we have mention that gems have to be split from one and two halves move as one (in same direction rubys, in opposite direction amethysts). Only gems. Without metal cages. They always behave the same way, they dont have modificators of mouvment (if one move, other half move with the same speed, with respective direction - same or opposite). So no metal is needet to make conjoiners and reversers. Its all precisely cuted gem and spren. I think in fact, pair of conjoiners (or reversers) are not two fabrials, but ONE fabrial. They contain only one spren in two gems - and this is why they move as one. Because they ARE one. And now starts the funny part. Because spren need to be physicly (or cognitivly) split to be in two pieces, but also need to be one spiritualy. And this will be not nice. Spliting process is probably very painfull for spren, because of perception (is one entity, should be in one place, but now is in two places! Error). This explains also, why Navani had this wierd message in last chapter. Technology was available earlier, but spanreeds, even now more popular, are still not as popular as they could be. Also, once reed is made, can last very long (we dont know about cracked gems in spanreed), so spren is in wierd state, but not in pain. On the other hand, to move airship, is needet thousands gems. this meen thousands spren splited. Also, we know that gems can crack. When gem crack, crew need to replace it with new pair. This mean, more and more suffering spren. And will be only worse, because we all know that it not ends on one ship.

As you wish ;-) In polish translation this: Is translated as: In Polish, "to be" (and other verbs as well) is inflected by person, and also has form singular and plural. In this quote, Sibling is described in 3d person, and is singular (jest), in relation to plural (są). If Sibling is collective, first sentence should be translated not "Nie jest z nami" but "Nie są z nami".

I think it would be "Priest".

But Teft, as expirienced with Addiction, more likely can recognise that Stormlight can be addictive. So will be very good person to help Kal and pull out him from this.

Lopen of course seems to like everybody, and Hatered seems to simply not fit with him, but maybe he hates someTHING? Maybe sea? Or ships? So Oath can be like: I will protect everybody, even in places I hate.
