I like the explanation of how weight storage works in respect to the agreement part i'm not sure that i agree to intent to kill of the bullet. your bullet explanation implies that an object flying at high speed needs an intent given it by something to be able to overcome the feruchemical effect. It would be better i think to say that the agreement extends to the the body's ability to support its self. In effect saying yes you weigh x and your body can support x. Similar to how pewter works to improve the body but not really make bullet proof or even resistant to piercing or slashing wounds. Also I don't think that a super weighted feruchemy user can move all that well without other powers such as speed and strength.

That same symbol is the one on the sword forms or at least it looks close.

It is very nice. Also did I miss it but what game are the stats for on the back?

That explains Szeth's eyes

Physical Colour is not the Fuel for Awakening *Mild WoR Spoilers*
Arook replied to Aonar's topic in Warbreaker
ToE dyed fabric is more vibrant and in turn better fuel for awakening. I don't think Brandon has said more at this time.- 56 replies

The letter seems to imply that he has hidden the lerasium not burned it.

Physical Colour is not the Fuel for Awakening *Mild WoR Spoilers*
Arook replied to Aonar's topic in Warbreaker
From the coppermind Lifeless that it touches disappear in a puff of smoke and stone also disappears when struck. It is not shown whether living humans struck by Nightblood's blade would disappear like the Lifeless or would die in some other way, but one would assume even a minor cut by Nightblood would result in instant death. So long as Nightblood is unsheathed, it drains the Breath from its wielder, drawing Breath faster the longer it is used. Vasher claims that if it drained all the Breath from him he would die; this would also happen to not-Returned wielding Nightblood unsheathed. Night blood drains breath and possibly life. It does not sever anything and does not burn souls it consumes.- 56 replies

Another thing to think about is that an honor blade bonds in a different manner then a shard blade. Honor blades don't permanently change eye color. I wonder if when a herald returns its like coming back from the dead and they need to re bond to the blade. Thus explaining why when Tailnel dropped his blade it did not disappear, also honor blades when bonded to a herald should not reappear next to their body when they die. Szeth's bond to an honor blade has to be different then a heralds bond. I don't think a non herald can fully bond to an honor blade.

It was pointed out to me that Stonewards were among those who abandoned their Shards in Dalinar's vision of the Recreance in WoK. I had the same idea so up vote for thinking along the same lines as me.

Physical Colour is not the Fuel for Awakening *Mild WoR Spoilers*

In the last bit of warbreaker Suse does in fact use colored objects for awakening and he makes them bone white. "at least half of it had been turned white. not just the grey of normal awakening. They had been made bone white. And, becoming white, they now reacted to his incredible BioChroma, splitting back into colors. Like a circle, somehow, she thought. colorful, then white, then back to color." - Warbreaker ebook 547/679 My concern for this theory is that the connections being made are based of a change in the spiritual connection to something changing it to grey. Shardblade severed limbs and lifeless are also for all intents and purpose dead things so being grey could just be a representation of being without life. Also a lifeless does in fact have a breath.- 56 replies

As far as i could tell they just don't talk about the children of high princes in fact they don't talk about in both books we only see 3 high princes in any detail. So unaccounted sons is not impossible, not talked about is not the same as not having any. Heck we only see a tiny bit of sadeas' wife.

I thought she was implying that he could use the color from the light but I could b wrong. In any event the god king is able to make objects white when he awakens and that also messes with this theory.- 56 replies

Arook replied to Aonar's topic in Warbreaker
My only real concern with this theory is how do you explain what happens when someone of the I think 8th heightening or whatever one makes all the rainbowness and is able to create infinite energy for awakening.- 56 replies

Why?
-
Well that kind of kills most of my theory. I total forgot about that. well screw it then its probably the Truthwatchers on account of how little Brandon wants to talk about them and how secretive the shin are.

So while reading the quotes from the epigraphs from the words of radiance it says. "as one said they would not abandon their arms and flee, but instead entertained great subterfuge at the expense of the other nine." What if the stone shamans are the decedents of the remaining stone-wards they took the remaining honor blades and hid in shinovar. We know their culture is reminiscent of what we know about the Knights Radiant. I could just be reaching with stone being in both names. They have a tendency to be stubborn apparently as well "Now, as each order was thus matched to the nature and temperament of the Herald it named patron, there was none more archetypal of this than the Stonewards, who followed after Talenelat’Elin, Stonesinew, Herald of War: they thought it a point of virtue to exemplify resolve, strength, and dependability. Alas, they took less care for imprudent practice of their stubbornness, even in the face of proven error." It makes sense that they would stick to a chosen course even if it went against the others plans. In addition to that their herald was the only one left in the oath pack. let me know what you think about this theory.

What did he do in the lift interlude that indicates he is surge-binding. Even if its not him with the blade we have WoB that one herald retrieved his blade. One thought so if i remember correctly

Storm-light might not be the only source of energy
Arook replied to Arook's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Kaladin mentions that they burned some bridges during a storm at one point. yes the three gods thing was confusing sorry I was trying to point out that they did not follow vornism at the time of the vision. ya the face never sounds nice to me. -
Storm-light might not be the only source of energy
Arook replied to Arook's topic in Cosmere Discussion
So as I have sat and thought about it First I agree that the face is most likely not odium but, a Spren of what I would bet is Adonalsium spren. Though I don't recall the face being benevolent or smiling. We know that spren are part of a valve for controlling the loose energy from honors shattering so maybe the increase in power explains that. As for the wave it could be that the point were a gem is recharged is the height of the spiritual part and that the storm wall is just the start of the spiritual wave. As for the difference in calendar I agree that is most likely true the modern calendar is a Vorin calendar and vorinisum did not start until later as far as I can tell from dalinars vision "by the three gods hebb". If each month has 10 weeks in the vorin calendar maybe their months were shorter. Storm form probably does allow for perfect holding of storm light but they already move through the storm. -
If I recall Vin Didn't so much attack as use her presence to create a fatal feed back on them both. I have always felt that odium got Devotion and Domination to attack each other instead of attacking each individually.

I think if he was going against his culture that he would have been less likely to just obey as truthless. I also get the feeling that there are other shin with shard blades, other wise how would you reliably retrieve Szeth's blade.
