So Radiant Spren Can Turn Into Any Object. Syl Isn't Restricted To Being A Sylblade Or A Sylspear. She

Valette: On my plantation I helped the skaa workers Elend: Boys I think we should let this Valette into our conversations. Isn't she the most kindhearted, wonderful, beautiful--y'know on second thought why don't I just marry her? Mr. Valette Renoux has a lovely ring to it, don't you think?

Quick Stormlight theory from a conversation with a friend

(WaT chapter 29)

This scene finally confirmed that Shallan actually went to Shadesmar physically in WoK, during the scene where she asks to be Jasnah's ward for real. At the time, Shallan explains this as her two spren pulling her into shadesmar, but later, after talking to her mother, Shallan thinks

(Wat chapter 118)

The heralds were all Surgebinders on Ashyn. We don't know how Ashyn surgebinding works, but we know that it tended to run in families (see: Shalash and Jezrien, Makibak and Nale). Lots of invested powers in the cosmere are inherited (see: allomancy, ferucmhemy, the royal locks of nalthis, whatever the fuck is happening on Threnody), so it's reasonable to guess that Ashyn surgebinding might've been inherited too. What if Shallan inherited the surge of Transportation from her mother, in the same way that a mistborn might have a misting child? The descriptions of her looking and falling into shadesmar are very similar to descriptions of Venli using Transportation.

If that's the case, then she'd likely have a resonance between Transportation and Lightweaving. That resonance would be something radiants can't normally do, because there is no radiant order with both of those surges. We know from her conversation with Kelek that Shallan's ability to see the Spiritual is not commonly found among radiants

(WaT chapter 7) I think that Shallan's ability to see the Spiritual might be a resonance between Lightweaving and Transportation. Lightweaving has a spiritual component (best seen in how Truthwatchers use it), and Transportation is used to see into Shadesmar as well as visit it. The ability to see into (and perhaps even visit) the Spiritual realm seems like a possible resonance for those two abilities, and it would fully explain all the weird unexplained shit we've seen Shallan do if that's the case. It also makes sense that, when Honor was picking the surges to grant his heralds, he'd avoid this particular combination -- Tanavast fears the Spiritual Realm (see the vorin prohibition on future sight, and Stormfather's objection to Dalinar's journey during the final 10 days), so when organizing the Oathpact, he would not have wanted heralds having this resonance.

Friend said there should be a remix of moash saying "I am mostly unchained" with Good Luck Babe so I made it

When I was in my teens, I used to make an entire magic system with 360+ unique spells, ordered in magic schools and categories, and it boggles my mind that I basically reinvented DnD mechanics, even down to metamagic.

I wanted to make a wiki about it but I don't have time for it.

The point was to try to encompass every "superpower" I could think of into a magic system.

I even got lore related to it all, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna simply reuse it all for OC worldbuilding. Ngl the fun part was naming all the spells, symbols and coming up with the logic of it all.

he's a horse girl. he's knows everything there is to know about swords and will talk about and to them for hours on end. he has saved the world with the power of friendship on more than one occasion. he once went to jail in solidarity with a friend. he helped create therapy and has no idea. he fought off a kind of immortal guy with a candelabra. he regularly talks to multiple talking swords. he's one of the best, if not actually the best, duelist of his age. he's an amazing tactician and no one talks about that. he's got daddy issues. he thinks about his friends all the time. he makes a conscious effort to learn everyone's name. he respects trans rights. he's a slut trollop at best (worst?). he once investigated a murder he committed. he's an amputee and has a prosthetic foot made out of talking armor. he turned down being a king and is now an advisor(?) of another nation. he has a complicated relationship with the idea of fighting. he fought off 20 men with only his talking sword and horse for help and won. he is so incredibly determined. he loves his wife and her alters very very much. his love for his friends has had a huge effect on the world. I didn't say his name but you hopefully know who i'm talking about.

Everyone always talks about "You Cannot Have My Pain," and with good reason, but I think this is my favourite Dalinar moment

Sanderson is a really big fan of magic that sounds fun but then is secretly hella dark and probably has to do with killing souls.

Hey look this magic lets you see pretty colors and hear music better and animate corpses. How'd you get that magic? Oh I ate someone's soul. Don't worry they're fine, they just can't experience beauty anymore.

Look Look eat the metal and you can do cool stuff like yeet yourself in the air or run super fast. Eat the metal and you can become superman.

Or alternatively, you could STAB someone with the metal and STEAL THEIR SOUL! They will be very dead and it will be very messy. But look you have magical powers plus cool new jewelry

Here on Roshar you get magical powers, a built-in best friend/therapist, and a kick ass sword. But if you fuck up at all that new friend of yours will die and you will personally be responsible for killing a tiny part of god. Have fun!

HALT! Sniff check!
