    Cough cough logic spren?

    It could be related to intent, if your told you can only do 5 lashes or that an honor blade takes 10 heartbeats to summon then you’ll believe it even if your life is in danger. So maybe the knights of old knew of plate and never pushed past that. Maybe they couldn’t because of honor making them more limited, so when kaladin punches a hole in the middle of a highstorm it’s a more tremendous feat then we naturally assume. but let’s play devils advocate, sja-anat used windspren as a distraction to make sure that her other child will be fine. but we do know that in the epilogue wit makes comment about being spied on by enlightened/corrupted windspren. But they were easily distracted by design showing still their short attention span/Low intelligence. we also have syl wondering if she can help the windspren be more intelligent. so maybe windspren is intelligent enough to act as spies, but they don’t have direction. So they do as they wish. Maybe being corrupted/enlighten raises intelligence

    Maybe 5th ideal power up? Kaladin can send his plate to others, a wonderful revelation especially sense we have been seeing him face shardbearers without it. (Funny accepting the fact he can’t save everyone allows him to Save even more) and it seemed that when he was saving his father he could control the winds throu the spren. So who knows

    Yeah this has to be the one for me. The pain the suffering and when he found out he was betrayed, left to eternity of torture, he thanked them. He thanked the people who left him. Honestly it makes sense that Brandon has this guy Chained away from the fight. Just him alone Could push back the voidbringers. He has for over 4,000 years

    Maybe it reverting things back to how it was?

    Oh definitely the shards intentions are a big part of why stories play out they way they do. I just went back to read through the eyes of someone who read mistborn first. Because as someone who’s stormlight was my first cosmer book it feels like a fight that you know you’ll lose but have to keep fighting and now you are going to win(or at least draw) In mistborn it’s way more depressing by HoA, not much laughter, everyone fighting but just to survive till next year, having no idea how to win. So to me it felt like ok I can see how this could turn into mistborn 2.0 with the first two books of stormlight.

    So I’m on my 3rd reread of the SA and I’m doing it right after finishing mistborn era 1 and I can’t help but notice the similarities and differences between the two series. Namely how they both treat “the end of the world” narrative. In mistborn especially HoA the entire atmosphere is depressing as. People trying to survive something that is desperately trying to kill them. And when you take a step back you notice the fact that with all the deaths that they were fortunate to even have won. (this post i like, even with the confusion, it shows the true devastation that the people were dealing with. ) Stormlight handles things vastly different than mistborn. In stormlight the hero’s are able to fight back. Sure it’s a “hopeless” fight but the humans are able to push odium into a disadvantaged deal. Where as in mistborn Ruins purpose was to extinct everyone and everything. Odiums is to conquer and control. But here’s the thing we didn’t know that until book3-4 especially RoW when odium flat out says that he doesn’t want to kill off all of humankind( just use them as fodder for better soldiers (his words not mine)) for book 1,2 we are lead to believe that the desolations were catastrophes with the human race existence On the line. (Wile it was true for a few desolations it is not for the Final Desolation) So here is where the differences really are. mistborn era 1 is the death of scadrial (no more mistborns, no more keepers, vast parts of the population killed) and it’s rebirth Stormlight is the revival of Roshar. (the magic coming back, ancient enemies, cities, access to the CR) tldr: mistborn era 1 and stormlight are stories of the end of the world. One is the death of the world and the other is death of the current world.

    I’m doing my reread of the stormlight and in RoW lift is talking to windle (storming voidbringer) and windle mention that one of the reasons that spren choose children is to mold them into the perfect radiant. So maybe humans and children are more open about their emotions then singer children and adults (they literally hum their emotions) making it easier to decide who will be a good choice?
  9. Rg2045
    Honestly Moash is dead. He died when he betrayed bridge 4 He had the potential to be kaladin but on the other side (and he kinda is) but now he is kaladin if kaladin became kelsier. he’s kaladin if kaladin gives up
  10. Rg2045
    Shoot. That’s true. Turn them into a fabrial
  11. Rg2045
    So if we got this right jasnah is a genius by the definition of the word as well as her accomplishments in world. but she sometimes gets too caught up in this immortal image that people paint of her and begins to act errogant even to the point of antagonizing people with suggestions that don’t make sense. (Alethi seem to have a weird tradition that if you lose your cool that your argument is wrong) and this seems to be what jasnah uses to make her way through the alethi court.
  12. Rg2045
    I don’t think Dalinar knew enough to preform the act. So syl had to look back to the time she was “in darkness” To sympathize with kaladin
  13. Rg2045
    Wasnt syls depression caused due to her being too young for the bond and her radiant dying ripping her soul and spiraling her into a depression? What I’m trying to say it’s not great but it’s not permanent (as far as we know) but I do agree with what you said that shallans and patterns way is probably superior
  14. Rg2045
    I thought this too but the only real problem I see with this theory is the bondsmiths. Brandon has said that they have gone all the way before. as I’m sure that all radiants orders have. so wile it’s a good theory I like the one that says they are spren more
  15. Rg2045
    The thought came to mind after people were talking in another post if an aluminum mirror would reveal a lightweaver. And they mentioned how being able to look into the CR might reveal them with the discrepancies. Then I thought maybe not them but possibly reveal the spren. And who have we seen that can sense spren? That’s right mr unhappy zahal himself. So how can radiants counter such a measure. That’s easy, get rid of the spren. ok ok so it’s not like I’m saying break the bond or to somehow hemalurgy the spren for the abilities but simply leave the spren at home, in RoW kaladin and syl get separated and syl loses herself due to the distance between them. But once they are close she is right back to being herself. Kaladin is still awake, and able to use stormlight during the dampening of his abilities. So as far as we know this doesn’t hurt the spren just dumbs them down for a time, and it doesn’t matter for the radiant as they can still use their abilities. Now obviously they work better together than alone but in order to properly infiltrate some places they might have to separate, maybe the spren can go back to the CR to retain thoughts? As long as the bonds not broken it should be fine right?

    So if this is true wouldn’t that mean anyone can burn godmetals but don’t because they don’t know the importance
  17. Rg2045
    Isn’t hoid a mistborn? Unless it’s though a different means he should be proof that anyone can burn the god metals
  18. Rg2045
    Ah another thought we know that singers grow up fast but need a form to be “in the mood” to produce children. Maybe when humans came they were more numerous and created spren more like themselves so the new spren felt more kinship to the humans then the singers
  19. Rg2045
    I think it’s an unknown history that the spren have long memories about. They keep saying that the spren forgave them for their betrayal. maybe for siding with odium? That’s my first thought about why singers don’t form bonds. I like the theories but the singers being closer to the cognitive realm makes it sound like it’s easier to form a bond then more difficult.
  20. Rg2045
    Honestly honor and odium, probably fit me the most. Maybe that’s why I love stormlight so much
  21. Rg2045
    Oooo this is good. I like it and wile Dalinar might fall he might not stay fallen
  22. Rg2045
    Honestly I feel this post should be nuked and restarted buuuuuut all post run off topic every now and then. my two pick are Sazed and Jasnah ones castrated, ones asexual, both are scholars, sazed can hold vast amounts of knowledge and is useful for deductions only “real” problem I see is that jasnah will hate Sazeds passiveness. That or start encouraging him to challenge more and more people
  23. Rg2045
    My knowledge is limited to mistborn and stormlight, so i have to say Knights radiants. Even the “weakest” order Is pewter enhanced near invincible armored haze killers with lightsabers and they heal! lowest needed training to be effective with higher training being near impossible to kill Resistant to other investiture (SP#4) Slight manipulation due to spren able to talk to anyone of their choice. scouting, and some untold abilities that might come up due to the nature of seons and spren being related. And that’s just the most basic radiant. Not even talking about the ones that fly, shift rock, change matter, divide to the atom. And we don’t know if all of them even need to be touching their target to do their ability. All I’m saying is that we see the best of the best in Sandersons books, but we need to also look at the median as well
  24. Rg2045
    Honestly it makes sense, literally the only guy that will make jasnah feel inferior to, and they finally have a year “mostly” together to challenge each other intellectually.

    I’m trying to piece together who is who in this bizarro roshar and their magic system. so Dalinar is king? Or at least has the power to decide who is king. Kinda fitting elohkar sadeas is neither elohkar nor sadeas but surprisingly lirin! seems to be a lighteyes of high birth that can rival the king, that seems to be training his son in their highest calling, a bridge builder. bridge 4 is kinda the same kinda soldier’s kinda bridge builders they seem to be loyal to kaladin syl seems to be close to kaladin unsure relation now the final, and main character kaladin sadeas? Unsure if he is sadeas son or apprenticing under him and thinks of him as a father. Seems to have bridge magic but we’ll get to that in a bit. Leader of Bridge four and kohlin construction force (dang it doesn’t that sound awesome). Is vary righteous and hates the king it seems for killing innocents (spoilers ikr) but recognizes the previous King was ok for giving his life to save his people. And oh yeah his mother was sadistically killed by the king. setting: Now the magic. interesting it’s bridge magic I think? Kaladin seems to be able to fuse wood and stone and summon it. But it seems that kaladin is unpracticed as the bridge doesn’t make sense and the king is ultimately disappointed with his work.
