Maybe this is exactly it. They are Truth-watchers, they can see Truth about who someone is, can be or SHOULD be, and show this to him or even to everyone. I think what Renarin did in 8 chapter is purely Spiritual Ilumination, and he can be very, VERY good at it. But your posted WoB is interesting, still is possibility that Rens visions are caused by damaged Spren. Maybe what Sia-Anat did is in some way similar to Hemalurgy, she take part of Spren and replace it, so Spren cannot grant full access to Surge, but can grant access to something else.

Maybe truth, maybe false, but i think some can thought the same.

Yep, but First of the Sun also dont have Shard, and Autonomy have Avatar there.

As title says, I think that Rosharan system is influenced not by 3, but 4 Shards. Autonomys power here is, of course, not large enough to threat any other Shard alone - she is mainly on Taldain - but is large enough to make a difference. In fact, I think it did. First, Ashynite magic system. We know that now is We can clearly see that this is still Surge-based system: - gravity, flight - Gravitation Surge - changing the color of objects, prophecy - Ilumination Surge (Physical, Spiritual) - passing through walls - Cohesion or Transportation Surge But we also know that Magic System has changed after Shattering. Or, I think, DURRING Shattering. Current magic on Ashyn has basis standard for Rosharan system, but second very important part of magic, Focus of Investiture, has similar to systems tied to Autonomy. - in SandMastery Focus is also microbs - in Aviars Focus is parasites - what is sort of disease. Both are also rather small living things separate from host. We also know that radical change in planet Magic System most likely is caused by other Shard Influence - we saw this on Sel, we saw this on Threnody (both Influenced by Odium). We have to wait, what happen on Scadrial, but this can be very interesting. This could also easily break this Theory. So I think Autonomy come to Roshar slightly after Odium. We dont know how Autonomy make his Avatars, is he making them on place, ot on Taldain and they have to walk through Shadesmar? So, we dont know, but this isnt important. Avatar of Autonomy is on Ashyn. Why? Because in this System we have 3 Shards, 2 are cooperating. It is something what isnt good from Autonomy point of view. Why she doesnt influence Scadrial, you would ask? Answer is - She did. Its not accident that on Scadrial we had Ancient religion focused on Stars and dualism, with the same name of God what apears now as other Shards influence. Trell was always on Scadrial. But come back to Theory. Autonomy has Avatar on Ashyn and try to influence people. Odium, of course, dont going to like it. Probably even, Autonomy is primarly against Honor and Cultivation, but Odium dont gong to give her "his" followers. So followers of Autonomy and Odium starts to fight. And... they destroy entire planet. Is possible that it was Honors plot, because Dawnshards, artifacts with power of Bonding, can be from Honor. But this is speculation. So, Ashyn was destroyed in war between Odium and Autonomy. Odium followers ran on Roshar. Autonomy followers stayd on Ashyn mostly, but some of them were also between refugees, so they influence later stories, what starts Vorinism: Odium and Autonomy made a truce for now. Odium shifts his focus on his primar goal, against Honor and Cultivation. In fact, this is also Autonomy first goal, so they decide to cooperate. Of course, they dont trust each other. But they have one goal, so they are allies. In fact, for Odium this was like blessing, because Honor had Cultivations help and was prepared, not like Dominion earlier (yes, I think Dominion was the one who fought Odium, but ironicly, he wasnt target, Devotion was), also Cutivation is not like Devotion or Preservation, she is positive, but can be really ruthless. So Odium need something to have Cultivation in check, while he was fighting Honor. And Autonomy was perfect - not strong enough to threat him, but strong enough to stop Cultivation long enough for Odium to kill Honor. Of course, Autonomy will be not strong for Stop Cultivation, if she will decide strike with full strengh, so Odium still wasnt able to completly destroy Honor remnants, but this always is some time. So this is why Odium was sceraming famous "WE KILLED YOU!" - He wasnt alone this time, Autonomy was stopping Cultivation and helping Him. Also, Ashyn alone is very... Autonomy-alike. Isolated enclaves, Isolated floating cities, not very known among worldhoppers, with not many visitors... What do you think? Make this sence? Or is this too streched?
-
No, he havent. Its very clear what powers Renarin have, and they are Progrssion (he used many times) and Illumination (damaged/corrupted but still). And he used, I think Spiritual Illumination, to "clean" rocs from Spren influence and banish him.
-
Cześć Ad. 1 Yes, spren can be killed, if theirs Investiture is destroyed/dispersed. Nightblood can do this. Shardblade cut in all 3 realms, so... Ad. 2 First, Lazur (org Azure) is character we know. Trick is, Spren need Bond to have mind IN PHYSICAL REALM. And Maya is trapped in PR in form of Blade, so she need to restore Bond.

The Conundrum of Conjoiners: an Analysis of Navani's Airship
Bzhydack replied to Pagerunner's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Not necesserly. If Spanreed moves in relation to the core of the planet (center of gravity), it will automaticly correct curvature. We know that board is interchageable, so no. -
Yeah, but... We know that on Scadrial Godmetal condensate near the Perpendicularity. And we know what Godmetal of Harmony is - its ettmetal. And isnt known on the North, it apear only on South. So straight deduction - Harmony Perpendicularity is in the South. Of course, its possibility that Harmony have two Perpendicularities, one in North and one in South. This will also explain how and why Kelsier apear in South - he enter into CR in one Perp in North, and exit in South.
-
Probably into Form caused by Spren what happened to be closest to Parshmen, with additional restoration of minds, so with knowledge how to change form.
-
But is this realy "completely"? Maybe this is what bring them madness - every rebirth adds to their Spiritweb little part of someone else - literaly the same process as being spiked hemalurgicly.

A strange similarity between two Cosmere substances
Bzhydack replied to Honorless's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Not necesserly. Shardblades are mixed Investiture from Honor and Cultivation, and they are one metal, without any rust. Besides, I doubht that Soulstone is Godmetal. First, this isnt metal, is more like clay, second, Godmetals are highly Invested, and we know that is very hard Invest Invested object - and this is what Stamp is. -
We practicly have conformation. Allomantic metals ARE affecting Fabrials. And have effect on Spren. Long, long time ago I was theoretizing about this, now we can be sure! We saw alerter fabrial, made with "golden metal" - this can be bronze. We can also think about other metal effects: - Tin will allow Spren to act more precise - Pewter - to affect larger area - Chromium - probably used in Leecher Fabrial.
-
He wasnt fighting in any of that places. He was spoted first time after year of war, an still was very expirienced. Also, how Parshendi behave i relation to this one is evidence.
-
We know for sure that Harmonium/ettmetal is not the same as Atium+Lerasium alloy:
-
We saw Szeth atempts of Assasination. If his clothes will be not Lashed with him, they will be very problematic - for example, will fall on his face, when Szeth jumps on ceiling, and this is not what happened. We know that Windrunner (and any Radiant) can Invest everything what thouches his body. We also have example of Instinctive Surge - Shallan is able to instinctively lightweave Ilusion around herself, covering fact she is full of Stormlight, and fuel this ilusion by Stormlight evaporating from her skin. So Falling Windrunner will be acting like this, instinctively Lashing everything he has.

theory Fortress Pulled From Shadesmar
Bzhydack replied to Child of Hodor's topic in Stormlight Archive
But Purelake is somehow related to Shardpools. If isnt, why 17th Expedition search for Hoid exact there? And I dont think Perpendicularity is needet. Many Ellsecallers/Willshapers (probably more even latter ones) + Bondsmith (Connecting powers into one) should do the trick. No he cant. What Dalinar is doing is specific only for him. -
And this is exactly why I think that Renarin has his wierd powers because of damaged spren, not because of Connection with Odium. We saw Regals and Fused able to use "normal" Ilumination, but we didnt see any with Futursight, we only know from Songs about Nightform. Surges has Physical and Spiritual Aspects and is possible that ballance between them is set differently - we even see this with other Surge, Adhesion - Bondsmiths have mainly Spiritual Adhesion, when Windrunners also have it, but is more shifted towards Physical Adhesion. With other Orders can be the same, heck, probably differences are even between Radiants (Like Lift isnt as good with Abrasion as other Edgedancers). For Example, one Lightweaver will be good with Ilusions, other will be good with soulcasting, and other will be good with seeing and transforming people - all of them will have all those powers, but they will have different specializations. So Renarin has Ilumination powers FORCED towards Spiritual Aspect, because Damaged Spren cant grant him full Access to the Physical aspect of Surge. This can be also reason why in the past Truthwachers were so isolated - they somtetimes have members really good with Spiritual Ilumination.

No. Pattern said, that his real name is to complicated for human, is mathematical formula. So Cryptics do have personal names, they are just wierd. Other Spren have "normal names". Honorspren. Lightspren. Cultivationspren. And is confirmed that Maya IS Cultivationspren.
-
what powers? Venlis Order is Willshapers, Transportation and Cohesion Surges - Transportation we know, is one of the Jasnahs powers. Cohesion we didnt see yet. and you speculate based on what info? Skybreakers have some free will, when they sworn to serve Idea/Master. Some of them can see Szeth as worthy to follow. Shalans brothers are broken as she is, and Balat is very, VERY good mach for Dustbringer. Some of her servants are her squires. Also Adolin - Maya is Edgedancer Blade. Last ones are just my hopes, I dont have any info.
-
I wanna see Artificial Intelligence able to use Metalic Arts. Computers with Feruchemical and Allomantic powers. Mixed mechanical and Invested technology.
-
Not really. Standard Spheres - Broams, Marks and Chips can provide Radiant with Stormlight relativly long, and gems inside them are REALLY tiny: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/315/#e10400 If Gem is large enough, can suck Stormlight charge that is equivalent of many broams.
-
We know, that Renarin isnt able to use standard Ilumination like other Truthwatchers. He simply creates lights, and they sometimes act strange. And he has his visions. Many Sharders think that this is Voidish Ilumination - futursight, but i highly doubht it. First thing, we know that every surge has Physical and Spiritual aspect. Adhesion can connect people, Transformation can transform them etc. So its safe assume that Ilumination also have Spiritual Aspect as well. And Spiritual Aspect of Ilumination is futuresight. We can even see this in the books - Shallan scetch Yalb survieving ships soulcasting, we see many times Shallans scetches with people in theirs "best versions" - and they later become this version of themselves. So with Illumination Shallan is able to "see" possible future of people and set them (with Spiritual Transformation) on way to this future. So I think that any Truthwatcher and Lightweaver will be able to see partialy into the future. Difference is influence of second power of Radiant - for Truthwatchers is progression, slow growth without revolutionary changes, for Lightweavers its Transformation - one sudden change. So: - Truthwatchers can see people/things future if they stay on their path and dont change - Lightweavers can see people/things future if they change rapidly for the best. And any shard can grant his servants (?) with some form of futursight. And Cultivation is very good at it - and spren ar partialy from Cultivation, Truthwatchers spren probably the most (after Edgedancrs ones), Cryptics are personification of laws of Physics, so also closer to Cultivation than to Honor. So we have it, but why Renarin is so special? Of course, reason after this is his Spren. But I think it is not because he has some Connection to Odium - I think this is because he is damaged. We know that in whole Cosmere magic - Investiture need Intent and Focus. If any of those elements is not correct, Investiture also dont work correctly. If focus of Metalic Arts has not right composition, it will make Allomancer sick in the best scenario. If Command is not clear or too quiet, will not Awake. If Aon is only slightly incorrect, it will have lesser effect, dont work or even work differently. And Spren is focus of Rosharan Magic System. So if Spren is damaged, Surges he granted will also dont work properly. And we can claerly see witch Surge is damaged - its Illumination. But spren is Focus for both Surges equaly, so need to grant his Radiant access to both. And when he cannot grant full access into proper Surge (because is not perfect Focus) he shifts on other aspect of Surge he can grant. So Renarin dont have proper Illumination powers, because Glys is damaged, but becaouse Investiture have to flow and Force have to go somewhere, he has powers Shifted towards Spiritual Illumination - and this mean visons.

When I have read about Kaladin and Leshwi fights, I thought automaticly about this.
-
We dont know how many Fused have those weapons. Maybe only the best from them have this special gear, others can have just normal weapons. Its also possible that Radiants encounter them only recently, they saw it in action but not capture yet any.
