Glory Spren

Well you could also have different alloys made up of the same metals, just of different proportions. Let's say that Harmonium is something like idk, 60% Preservation and 44% Ruin. That could be an alloy while other proportions could be different. Maybe something like 60% Ruin and 40% Preservation would result in a totally different alloy potentially, maybe Discordium? I agree 100% Kelsier, and in turn any spike he would manifest as if he were to do so would be some where on the range of Lerasium to sone alloy between Lerasium and Atium, either Harmonium or something else. Don't Scadrians have a bit of ruins investiture as well? I know he also got a lot from the well and that was Preservations power and sustained/stabilized his cognitive shadow, but I always assumed there was still a good bit of Ruins investiture left in his cognitive shadow.

Maybe is 6 more secret projects, 3 of which are Cosmere, and 1 is adjacent to a major world?

I only bring the Nahel Bond up as a mechanic to allow Kelsier to manifest as a Shardspike, the rest of it regarding his body and connections to it would be some combination of Hemalurgy and what you bring up with Yumi. If he can manifest someway without a bond that would be just as well for me.

Those are great notes! To clarify, I do think that Kelsier as a Shardspike is Hemalurgicly spiked into either a mistwraith with his bones or another body that his spirit web altered to look like him. I agree on those points. That note on interplanetary Nahel bonds not working is a strong point that I didn't think about with the Spook = 16 part of this. Though do we know if all Nahel bonds have that restrictions like the radiant bond does? Seon bonds are a type of Nahel bond and seem to work on different rules so maybe? But ya that is a pretty big hiccup.

I appreciate it, ya didn't think that all the way through, my fault

TL;DR- I think Kelsier is a Spren, in a Nahel bond, and IS his eye spike (summoned as a spike a'la a shardblade). With that in mind, the metal of his spike would be a god metal, either Lerasium or more likely an Alloy of Lerasium and Atium either Harmonium or a different alloy of different percentages of the two. Let me defend that a bit. First, most everyone agrees that what Kelsier is/was at the end of SH, a bodyless cognitive shadow, is categorically the same type of being as a spren. We have WoBs that support this and taking it further we have WoBs that state he could enter a Nahel bond as well. So its not a totally crazy idea. Next I want to talk about who he might be bonded with. Spook. In SH we see the Connection between Kelsier and Spook. If they solidified this connection and progressed in that connection, I imagine it would be considered a Nahel bond and if it got to a certain strength I don't see why it wouldn't have similar capabilities to a radian bond in the form of summoning. Now this would also imply that Spook is still alive. Enter the Spook is 16 (from tSA) theory. This would give that theory the motivation for why he would be skipping forward in time and keeping himself alive. To keep Kelsier alive until another solution is found to keep him physical. Overall, I think this theory could explain why Kels body is the way it is along with the problems he's having, I don't think its any more crazy then saying that he's pined to a body using a regular spike in a totally unique way, and I think it plays well with other fan favorite theories such as he has a Kandra body and 16 is Spook. Do I think its true? Na probably not, but I think it sounds cool and makes sense. I'd love to hear thoughts both for and against. (This is my first post on here, please let me know if I've done anything wrong. Very excited to join this part of the community)

If we can find one more set if books done 631 then that would make 3 of that, making it 6 analog, 3 book, and one digital. Side note, I get that clocks really are just a good, easy, subtle way of slipping in the number 631, but maybe there more to it that it's mostly clocks. I have seen several fandom based watches recently, maybe this will be a release of a fancy watch collaboration?

I feel like it has to be more then Leather Bounds. It's too weird and interesting to be anything we already know about. If it's to do with the WoR LB it will almost definitely be a surprise addition to it in some way.

Sone people have thrown out the idea that it's a message on when the Stormlight RPG is coming out. It's definitely something. I think it's bigger then that tbh. I honestly hope it's a step on in an ARG that will end at Dragonsteel 2024.
