Third oath isn't really done, and his book will also be having flashbacks. remember that Jasnah has a book and is at fourth oath.

... Are we forgetting that Shallan did that in a similar time frame? her killing her mother is her third oath, and that was in end of WoR

Remember that she had a dead testament blade, and we only see her summon that after the second oath.

The Way of Kings - 4 Edgedancer - 4 Oathbringer - 10 Dawnshard - 6 Rhythm of War - 6 Mistborn: The Final Empire - 6 The Hero of Ages - 6 The Bands of Mourning - 8 Secret History - 5 Elantris - 1 Warbreaker - 10 The Emperor's Soul - 6 Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell - 4 Sixth of the Dusk - 7 Hurt Elantris, Heal Warbreaker

This... is true, but have we seen this ever? Every Radiant we've seen gets a blade at third

All orders get their blade at the third oath, armor at fourth. Shallan is at max fourth oath.

An example that I find might be looked over, and the earliest example I think there is in the series, is when Vin first drank the vial from Kelsier. In this scene, we get two examples of Intent. First is that when she drinks the vial, there is a moment when she feels no change. It's not until she actively looks at what she considers to be her luck storage that is she surprised by the sheer amount of power she was carrying. The second example is when Kelsier tells her of two sources of power. Only once this is said does she distinguish that there are two sources of metal for her to burn.

Lord Ruler simp for life!

Um, yeah this, because for drawing, painting, etc., I can see why you would want something new (Especially considering the talented artists here), but for photography, it might be fair to allow old stuff.

@xinoehp512 I need confirmation on this. Is this allowed? Because this means I might actually have a good submission. Also, I presume only one submission per person? Also Also, I just find this song fitting.

I was worried about that, considering my skill in art is an absolute travesty. ... count me in.

I was awakened from my stupor by the mention of art and competition. I will be keeping tabs on this.

My slumber has been disturbed.

Not all, but if I didn't know the character, I used to skip thinking it wasn't important out of impatience. I have since learned to read everything or pay the price of ignorance. ... Frustrations guess was actually pretty accurate.

The following partial prophecies also exist: Not unless somehow Sazed dies and Dalinar is somehow there to take that Shard up and change its intent. If discord happens, it won't be Dalinar.

... Wait, that's canon? Hoid was just pretending? Where was this?

I find Feruchemy, being the most versatile, is the one that is most useful in daily life. Except for healing, which will make you suffer to store, the rest aren't all that bad. I am currently moving back and forth between a place that is too hot and too cold, so storing heat in one to use in the other will be a godsend, and being able to cool yourself in warm places is always useful to have. Controlling when I sleep by storing wakefulness will be really helpful for my storming sleep schedule. I feel you can always store strength throughout the day, just tad, to end up building up for a large store in the occasional moments you need to carry something too heavy or difficult for you to lift. Making yourself light whenever can be very useful (Just float down the stairs, practically zero gravity for the WIN) and I'm sure you can find a way to mess around with being heavier. Again, I don't think you always need to be as fast as you can go. Store some speed while walking, lying down, reading, basically whenever you don't need to move quickly, and have speed stored for when you're in a hurry. Speed of thought might be difficult to fit in your daily life, as you always need to think, but speed does take care of if that. The removal of senses is something many of us wish we could do at one point of another. Food burned in your house? Off sense of smell. Hurt yourself? Off any sense of feeling and block out the pain. Want to eat crappy tasting food for nutrition? Off sense of taste (I NEED this). Loud noise annoying you when reading? Off your sense of hearing. And all these senses you can increase at any time for any reason. (Not sure how to fit sight in daily life, in terms of storing without consequence.) Storing Memories. Need I go further? Storing breath wouldn't exactly be that hard. Just inhale really deeply, and boom. There are many times I wish I stored determination at a point I didn't need it so I could tap it later. Not sure how energy works. Store connection and become effectively multilingual. No cost. For someone who hates learning languages, yes, please. And rest of them are more cosmere magic related. (And the fact it's 4 - 1 is my point exactly!)

0.0 I'm sorry, I have to ask, why? You and I have the complete reverse order with Shallan, with my being frustrated with her in RoW and like her in the previous installments.

Lift. I had skipped her words of radiance and novella, first reading her I Oathbringer, where I was taken aback about who this random character was. I didn't dislike her, but didn't care for her either. Then I read the WoR chapter and novella and found her frustrating, but with the new context, I liked her more in Oathbringer and found her to be a breath of fresh air in a fairly stoic set of characters, which is why I came to the conclusion that she's the type of characters that needs other characters, with presence, to bounce and contrast of off and doesn't work in a vacuum.

Kinda, no, and kinda? Like, Kelsier is the most natural read of the name, and how BS pronounces it in his head, but it isn't wrong, and I sometimes use it by accident after trying for a really long time to get used to it. My take, go for it.

It could be a meta reason they are called that.

... yes, most things are a combo or the narrative/meta reason of the writer and the in-world one. That is how it works.
