Helaran's plate would have nullified any healing properties of storm light... That doesn't change the issue of how he could have managed to wield the shard but its possible that it only becomes unbearable after the oaths are spoken. But even if it doesn't matter we repeatedly see Renearin and Szeth attempting with varying level of success to fight while voices raged inside. Plus to highlight Moogle's point the code of the Skybreakers could have superseded the pain from the blade much as Szeth code did the same for him. More to the point Helaran didn't go out of his way to kill Kaladin squad but quite literally they were in the way. No one mourns the bugs and plants Kaladin surely kill while he walks. Nor does Syl consider it against the code for Kaladin to have killed the Parshendi when in doing so he was adhering to a greater aspect of the code. Kinda looks similar to a certain other situation... you know where there was this certain lighteyes that had everyone fooled about his character and probably had reason to meant up with this idea called justice by the hands of a dead shard wielding possible fledgling radiant lol I know Im playing devil's advocate on the issue but who knows

To be honest I liked it for its ties to the idea of reviving spren. If it were just him saying the command wouldn't we have seen more of this from his other fight scenes. It also happens to be in italics in the book. Which if you reference all the Syl/Kal conversations when she is talking directly into his head her words are also in italics. lol An example would be pg 1015 kindle: "Kaladin, Syl's voice spoke in his head." Something is still very wrong. I feel it on the winds."

Reference to Adolin being a Radiant, this quote from page 1023 stuck out to me: "The monster could command inanimate objects! Adolin sliced through the tarp and then jumped forward to swing for the assassin. He found nothing to fight. DUCK. He threw himself to the ground as something passed over his head...." Certainly not definitive but I think its worth noting. When I read this passage I read it as an outside command not from him, Also an interesting point is that he is in direct contact with his shardbalde during this passage. He also happens to be engaging in an act that is consistent with at least the first ideal of the kr. Could it be that the voice was from a spren. Im inclined to believe so. Thoughts?

By all accounts according so some givens our parhsendi General is our best reference 1. The Explorer, straddling the fates of two peoples, forced to choose between slow death and a terrible betrayal of all she believes. "Quote from cover" Betrayal of belief sounds like someone or god broke some promises they made to her 2. Storm form is literally the only magic that I've read so far that the literal storm would respond to. 3. We know she wants to coexist with humans but will be inevitably controlled by their dark gods like before. Probably their magic will be similarly controlled by Odium as Hemulergy was controlled by Ruin. And she wants to try and talk to dalinar. He probably makes piece with them as the high prince of war thus saving her and the parshendi's lives All of which could easily fulfill the parts of the death chant, and still be exactly apart of what we always new would happen.... Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and more often then not Occam's razor leads us to the right conclusions. I know it's Sanderson but I think it's being read into far to much.

If the covers any indicator to how the battle goes, then Szeth is literally standing on a mound of presumably the guard. Kaladin looks pretty beat down too. The WoK cover was almost a direct correlation to a scene in the novel except with Kaladin saluting instead of Dalinar. Point being BS is providing ample time to shift between POV based solely on the indicated scale of the fight.

I think he is a world hopper... Everything about him reminds me of what's his name turned god in mistborn trilogy... Crazy off the wall theory but had to throw it out there

I notice one outcome nobody is willing to mention... Szeth kills Kaladin. After all Kaladin's internal battle is almost won and BS will have an entire book to tie up any other loose ends. Mind you this is my worst case outcome

So I can't help but feel like I'm the only one concerned that Kalidin will be killed by Szeth in WoR...
