I think that there must be more ways to kill Miles Dagouter with the available technology than the ones suggested in the saga, without removing the spikes from him. Perhaps some of them would inmobilize him permanently without actually killing him. Throwing him into the ocean. The golden spikes should prevent him swimming, and if somehow he removes them, he dies, of course. If drowning, high pressure, low temperature or predators can't kill him, he would be going to have a very hard a long life wandering at the bottom of the sea. Crushing him under tons of rock. The flesh should eventually lose the contact with the spikes. Burning him at high temperature to ensure the total cremation of the body. Note that gold would melt. Throwing him into a pit full of acid. HF should do the work. Split his body and keep the pieces in different aluminum boxes. Some more ideas?

I'm re-reading The Final Empire, chapter 7, and noted something. Kelsier says Vin that pure metals pull and alloys push. Some paragraphs later, he says that bronze pulls. I immediately consulted Ars Arcanum in the same book, and it says that bronze is internal mental pushing metal. So, was Sanderson (or Kelsier) wrong? I have searched this topic in internet and noticeably I found nothing.

Still, in the Rosharan subastral Kaladin and his companions could obtain water by condensation, a technique that, given that in Roshar there is plenty of fresh water, I doubt that Rosharans knew (a spren taught them how to do it). The 'sun' of Shadesmar is something that I fail to understand. Shadows go to it, instead of from it. So, the lit side of an object is the one that is backwards. Then, if you want to read a book, you put it between you and the sun? Do other light sources, like fire, work the same way? And, if you sink into the sea of beads, you should see much light there, shouldn't you? And if the cognitive realm is flat, why can't this sun be seen from the other subastrals? Perhaps the inversion of shadows only applies to living beings from the Physical Realm and the lighting of the other objects is normal?

I'm wondering what actually happens if you fall "eternally" into the unsea, assuming that it has no bottom, and that you can breath. You eventually die, of course. But why? First I thought of thirst. In the Cognitive Realm, you don't sweat, but the resistance of the air (perceived like a very strong wind) could dehydrate you relatively soon. But when you fall, air pressure increases very quickly. I have done the math with the barometric formula and I obtained 20 atm after falling 20,000 m (assuming a top speed of 200 km/h this would happen in a few minutes). I doubt that a human body can resist such a quick pressure change. On the other hand, the more dense air should slowen you a bit. But the temperature of the 'air' increases with the pressure. With only 1.5 atm, the temperature increases by 50% in kelvin. That means about 170 celsius. This happens only after a fall of 3500 m, about a minute. My conclusion is that you'd roast. Literally. By the way. The internal heat of the deeper layers of the unsea should make it glow like a star. So actually, the unsea must have a bottom. Or it doesn't follow the Ideal Gas Law. Given that the temperature at Emberdark is all but steady, this seems likely. Barotrauma, then?

Answer to TDLR: Some subtle suggestion about Veil sees the colors different as Shallan is done much before. Perhaps in KoW or WoR. Surely Radiant didn't "exist" at that moment. But I don't remember exactly when. So... I don't think show. Thank u.

I am rereading. So, let's say yes. This interlude is really Cryptic (hummm, ha, ha). Thank u

Veil sees the colors 'muted'. (RoW 13) Has Shallan, or Lightwavers, some investment from Nalthis?

In RoW I-5, Lift has an 'old, strange flute' hidden in Urithiru. Is it from Wit? Is it Kaladin's lost flute? Perhaps some other thing?

Vyre, the new name of Moash, is because Vyre is not a singer's name or because it is a more singer's name? Sorry for grammar, I am from Spain.

I'm noted that most knight radiants bond with a spren of the opposite gender, at least in known cases. There are only, as far as I know, two exceptions to this rule: Dalinar - Stormfather Renarin - Glys I have looked for possible reasons for this, with little success. It seems that is an in-world fact, but it could be also a stylistic decision of Sanderson. Some thoughts?

Sorry, I have just sent unwillingly three our four similar posts. Could you delete them but the last I sent?

I'm rereading Stormlight Archive (WoR, I-11, so far)'. I love each Brandon's paragraph. Only a review (I hope it to be constructive). I find difficult to read parshendi POV chapters. I feel the style slow and less "nimble" than chapters with human POV, with so 'attuning', 'humming' and 'speaking to the rhythms'. Perhaps the Spanish translation, where these words are quite longer ('armonizar, 'canturrear' y 'hablar al ritmo', respectively) doesn't help. I had the same feeling the first time I read it. I thought that it was for that the first time I read it, but the second I feel the same. Even more. It is difficult for me to feel empathy for these characters. Things become better in RoW, though. By the way, I can't figure out how all those rythms and songs would be performed in a series or a movie.

A bit of speculation. So there is a single Highstorm travelling around Roshar rather erratically. During the Weeping it must be somewhere in the ocean, stopped. The wiki, based on WoR 86, says that the time between highstorms in a given location depends on the speed of the Highstorm. (I capitalize it for the single Highstorm, and "highstorm" is for the arrival of the Highstorm to some given place). But this should imply that after a long time without highstorms, the next one should last longer because it is moving slower. Is that the case? There seems to be no evident clue about the shape of the Highstorm. Perhaps it is like a 'moving meridian', since it reaches Herdaz and Thaylen equally. If it is the case poles would be under it eternally. The Highstorm is somehow 'rechaged' at some place between Aimia and the East of the continent, they call it 'the Origin'). (Perhaps the Dawnshard is involved?)

I have read somewhere that Wikim likes math. Perhaps he meant a math problem, but I doubt it.
