Beautiful pfp. Welcome to the Shard! What has been your single most favorite Sanderson book so far? Favorite series as a whole?

I loved the early chapters, but after a point I kinda lost interest. Gonna stick it out to the end though.

Coder has been straight brainwashing people oh my goodness. Wreck it Ralph was a fun movie.

Having many powers reduces resonances. I don’t know if he will lose his extra Windrunner surge, but I think he has too many for these to be very prevalent. coppermind page on resonances: Syl is a pure godmetal, as compared to a metal mind. I doubt vin with the mists could get a line to them, it would probably require a lot more power than she could realistically muster. This is the only example of a spren using surges, and in a rather weak way. The bond grants them sapience, but they do not gain the Surges. Also, do storms in eyes make Syl a Godspren? I don’t remember if she has taken the Stormfathers role, but I don’t think that is what supports it. She once manifested as a storm cloud in the early books, but was a regular honorspren then.

Vivenna?

Chanarach?

No. Just no.

Will? Why are we talking about Taln fan in a Chaos conversation?

Probably not. One of the basic rules of the Cosmere is that Investiture resists Investiture. In RoW, Kaladin had to use a normal spear while fighting Leshwi because he wanted to Lash his weapon. Syl is pure Investiture and her essence resisted the Lashing. It may be different when she is the one using the Surge, so I guess this is a question for the back half.

Why are Shard Chaos and Forums Chaos so incredibly different? One is funny, the other makes my heart skip a beat.

I’m surprised you lived. I might have died of fear.

And the banner is even a husky! They are both adorable, might I add.

2 I don’t think anyone is upset about that timing.

I LISTEN TO SHARDCAST FOR 4 MINUTES!!!! I’m loving this episode! Too much fun to camp this thread.

2 minutes? unacceptable!!!!!

Very good. Very good. If you could invite any 6 characters to a dinner party, who would you invite? what’s your favorite magic system from the books?

Don’t think I count as this group. But I remember Thaidakar’s massive TLT lore posts, Platypus in Battle for the Sandwich, and seeing Glass on occasion. I feel like the tone of the Shard has changed over the years, or if I just didn’t interact much in the community forums so I only now get that side of things. If it isn’t super known, I’m Xiahida.
