Hi all, I was rereading The Alloy of Law prior to Shadows of Self, and I noticed something interesting (at least I found it interesting). During a conversation between Miles and Mister Suit (Ch. 15) they talk about the following: Suit snorted. “And it’s said that the Roughs are the place where honor goes to be murdered.” “It’s the place honor goes to be strung up, flayed within an inch of its life, then cut down and left in a desert. If it survives something like that, it’ll be stronger than hell. Certainly stronger than anything you have at your Elendel dinner parties.” Kaladin being a child of Tanavast/Honor, was strung up to be flayed by the storm, cut down by bridge 4, and became stronger from it (e.g., Teft noticing Kaladin feeding upon the light, which set Kaladin down the path). The desert could be referencing the shattered plains due to the high storms. Do you think this was a coincidence or a nod from Brandon to those who follow the Cosmere?

I was going over the Lift interlude, and a thought popped into my head. Since Lift can touch the spiritual realm (either by her Edgedancing, or the Nightwatcher) could she possibly heal wounds that were caused by Shardblades? I thought the Shardblades basically effected the spiritual part of the individual and not the physical aspects until they are dead. I kept thinking that Wyndle was surprised at her touching the spirt realm, and he has probably been in contact with other Edgedancers before, so this leads me to believe that Lift is different from other individulals with her abilities.
