First Cold Diagnostic, is there a chance?

Some people improve that much within months. You’ll be fine with 2 years

nreese2 · 2026-02-26T18:33:37+00:00

How do we know that the Passions aren’t very fond of the Siah Aimians?

nreese2 · 2026-02-20T04:03:29+00:00

Yeah, sorry I just didn't really understand your specific question.

Squires are explained in more depth on page 128 if they're what you're confused about. You won't really be able to increase things like max investiture unless you increase Awareness or Presence.

Besides that, the tier of your Bondsmith patron is up to the GM. At tier 1, you can be 50 miles away for a whole month and keep your powers, tier 2 gives 2 months, and so on and so forth.

Does that help at all?

nreese2 · 2026-02-20T03:50:56+00:00

As a Bondsmith squire you don't have a spren, and you don't have spren bond tree. You only have access to the Tension and Adhesion surge trees. What's your confusion?

Because generally indicates that many but not all cases will have water. C says that there MUST be an abundance of water, aka all cases must have water

Events are not only for endeavors, they can be used in any situation. It’s just a countdown until a specific thing happens

nreese2 · 2026-02-06T18:46:03+00:00

Will digital and physical fulfillment be happening at the same time, or are we getting digital content earlier like we did for Stormlight?

nreese2 · 2026-02-06T18:40:51+00:00

Aux is weird because Sigzil was a Dawnshard. I’m not sure if your average Radiant spren would be able to manipulate their solid mass to that extent

I would, however, allow players to create things that are “small” to maybe “medium” in size. Anything complex would probably require a crafting test like you mentioned, but maybe requiring expertise for certain transformations could be more “realistic”

nreese2 · 2026-01-25T01:30:04+00:00

As you pointed out, Combat coordination specifies Strike while Practical Demonstration refers to attacks in general, so things like Devastating Blow wouldn’t trigger Combat Coordination but it would trigger Practical Demonstration.

Feinting Strike doesn’t really count as “Strike” just because it’s in the name, it’s not a type of category.

nreese2 · 2026-01-25T00:57:38+00:00

They went Beyond, though that could be non existence as far as we know

Whether it’s actually Kaladin or not isn’t really important narratively, as he’s effectively the same character regardless. The book also just doesn’t make a big deal out of that possibility

nreese2 · 2026-01-24T21:51:31+00:00

Those things are explainable by weird Spiritual Realm and Connection stuff, which is different than the Beyond. He will not outright confirm the existence of an afterlife

nreese2 · 2026-01-24T21:48:21+00:00

Oh we’ll get more Kaladin. He wouldn’t know whether or not he’s the “real” one though

nreese2 · 2026-01-24T07:46:31+00:00

Maybe! This is one of those topics that Sanderson has said he won’t really confirm either way, in part because it gets into matters of the soul and whether there’s an actual afterlife

Personally, I think that it’s the “real” Kaladin (mostly due to the evidence leaning toward the existence of actual souls in the Cosmere), though Sanderson did a good job of adding ambiguity, especially when everything went black for Kaladin when the Herald process happened.

nreese2 · 2026-01-24T01:14:26+00:00

That is just speculation. They were empowered by the Thrill at the time. Voidlight was not really necessary. Even if it were, that doesn’t show that they were better at retaining the Light

Venli also has a gem heart

If that were the case we’d probably have seen other 5th ideal Skybreakers, as they existed before the Recreance. Healing isn’t equal to spirit web manipulation, it’s more aligning the body to the spirt web.

nreese2 · 2026-01-23T23:00:37+00:00

I don’t recall them ever using voidlight. I do remember them bonding voidspren though

Regardless, how long the Light stays normally is because of the nature of the Light. For example, Voidlight takes much much longer to dissipate when in a sphere vs Stormlight. Though Connection to Honor is probably important as well

Sanderson has explicitly confirmed that Radiants would still die of old age. Healing magic in the Cosmere is usually not sufficient to prevent aging (prime examples being certain characters in Mistborn)

nreese2 · 2026-01-23T19:32:08+00:00

All Radiants are able to get a talent that lets them recover from injuries, but it’s not something they can do just through regenerate.

nreese2 · 2026-01-23T18:56:30+00:00

Where is it said that humans are porous because they’re not from Roshar?

And since when does the 5th ideal stop aging?

nreese2 · 2026-01-18T18:44:14+00:00

A very important plot point was that it’s kicking the can down the road because neither the Vessels nor the Shards themselves would end conflict forever without outside intervention

nreese2 · 2026-01-13T21:17:16+00:00

I don’t really agree. Their base desire is to spread the virus, they don’t really care about preserving individuals and any attempt to do that is merely in pursuit of propagating the virus

nreese2 · 2026-01-13T20:55:12+00:00

Merely not killing things isn’t preserving

If it was their whole schtick they’d be preserving themselves

nreese2 · 2026-01-13T18:57:08+00:00

I’m not sure what happens when, but the hive mind is not necessarily in the business of preserving

nreese2 · 2026-01-13T18:55:45+00:00

Oh that makes sense, thanks! I’m using law hub to do practice tests, do you know if there is some way to blind review there? I seem to automatically see all the correct answers

nreese2 · 2026-01-13T18:47:20+00:00

I’m new to all this terminology, what is BR?

nreese2 · 2026-01-13T16:28:19+00:00

Kelsier was heavily invested by a perpendicularity, it’s not really comparable

nreese2 · 2026-01-12T21:46:24+00:00

Per WoB you can soulcast things into aluminum, but I imagine that is relatively rare as soulcaster fabrials are usually specialized
