Honor. Simply because the central focus of that magic system is becoming better people. All the rest are either wild cards who we don't know nearly enough about, fairly decent people who turn out fairly okay but at the same time would be excessively dangerous to be around because of the things they get involved with, or psychopaths. Not counting the just plain evil ones of course. My chances of survival are probably best with Honor, especially if I can find some Windrunners to hang around- protect those who can't protect themselves, right?

The WOB does say that it's not about fueling or interacting with them but granting them. So Odium can interact with Adhesion and even fuel it but he can't grant it any more than Ruin could grant Allomancy.

Honestly if I were to assign the pure tones notes, they'd be Honor as B flat, Cultivation as G, and Odium as F sharp.

I enjoyed reading Kalak.

He didn't necessarily seem less crazy, his goal just interfered far less with his usual function than say, Nale or Ishar. Nale is obsessed with justice to the point of miscarriage, while Ishar is apparently just going full eldritch over in Tukar. Kalak just wants to get off this planet, and so he isn't as much of a health risk to most characters. I get the feeling he'd seem much more unhinged if Adolin or Shallan tried to stop him from leaving.

Progression is Magnified Ones

so I just remembered that Lift's name, in whatever language it would originally be in, literally means "to ascend" or "to raise up".

To ascend. That would be the most underhanded, dirty little bit of foreshadowing he's ever given us.

...Falling, with style?

seems like the voidbinding equivalent of a skybreaker. We know the SA era Skybreakers are rather different from what they would've been in other eras because of the influence of Nale, and it seems like eventually they'd go back to what they were before, but that Skybreaker-type seems far more like Nale than I'd guess of a pure skybreaker, which is why (that and the voidlight/warlight) I'm guessing voidbinding equivalent of skybreaker.

Take your pain?

So sorry, it's not letting me just post the photo.

Maybe because of Syl? Being an older honorspren?

Wit? An enemy who can't die by your hand, but who also can't harm you...

Honestly I'm just surprised that all this theorizing I've seen on here, all this guessing, and a literal Shard still managed to pull something like this. Like it seems like a lot of people wrote of Cultivation as sort of in the background, but this is a literal shard.
