@Lightspine Yeah! When reading that I thought it was really cool how similar your explanation was to the description in the book.

I think @Gilphonmade some really good points on why this has to be using Transportation somehow. The red-violet light that chases Kaladin reminded me of one of Dalinar's visions, the one where he is running around in the purelake and spots a spren with red eyes in the water. The Radiant there says something about the spren needing a carrier or an escort. Then a bigger spren shows up and turns into a thunderclast. When Dalinar first sees the smaller spren he says it looks like a red spot in the water then it swims away. So the bigger spren is one of the fused right? They are what animate stone to make a thunderclast? The connection the Radiant mentions got me thinking what if the fused who use surges can make similar connections with spren. Maybe the new fused Kaladin fought is using Transportation to leave the physical realm and then his little spren is his anchor. So the spren chases Kaladin around and lets the fused know when to come back. Maybe the spren is carrying the gem heart while he moves? And that's why it can only move so fast. Otherwise I think it would be able to fly around as fast as Syl. I think this would be cool way for Transportation to work but I haven't thought of any good reasons for why the fused has to regrow a body. When Jasnah used Transportation it was very different.

I really like yall's comparison to electrical power. Makes sense with so many fused running around. I wonder if the Heralds had a similar limitation when Honor was alive. Maybe less of a limitation since there were only 10 of them. Could the fused be flying using the same mechanics as sky eels and great shells? If they needed stormlight wouldn't the great shells run out during the weeping and get crushed by their own weight? My thought is the fused aren't using lashings to fly but they can use them if they want, like when they lash other people.

Yeah I was wondering if the number 4 had some special meaning. I was looking around on the forum and found this post It looks like aneon is right. Maybe something he decided to use after his time in Korea. I guess if the book gets translated to an east asian language it will read "Bridge Death". Thanks for the replies!

Does anyone know why Brandon decided bridge 4 was the worst bridge to get assigned to?

I'd have to go with Coinshot. Being able to basically fly sounds too good!

Yeah, I read a lot of his books. Most of the cosmere stuff and also the reckoner and skyward ones. hmm a favorite book is hard to choose. But maybe Bands of Mourning I really like Adolin and Steris. Its hard to pick a favorite between the 2 though The stormlight surges are my favorite magic. I really like the idea of getting power from a bond. I did the Radiant quiz the other day and got Willshaper so I'm looking forward to the next book. Hopefully we will see some new powers in action. I haven't done much writing myself but I think it would be really cool to try more. I'll check out Reading Excuses. Thanks for the suggestion! Thanks for all the questions!

I recently got into listening to Sanderson's videos on youtube. That led to the shardcast videos and from there I learned about this site. I've really enjoyed hearing people talk about the cosmere and figured I can find a lot more of that here.
