Random question on Syl (Spoilers of course) ~ Send a noteboard - 07/09/2010 11:55:32 PM
Initially, I had the impression that the honor spren bonding with an indiviual is what gave the radiants their power or at least magnified it. However, at the end, Syl expresses disgust with the shard blade and that she was happy that Dalinar got rid of it.
It also seems that the blades were used by the radiants in the flashbacks.
In addition, there is no metion of spren of any kind in the scenes that are from Szeth's POV.
My question is: Is Syl actually related to Kal's increasing ability, or does she have another part to play?
I know this is a classic RAFO, but it will have me scratching my head while waiting for the next installment.

I wondered the same thing a few times. j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 03:11:11 AM 1426 Views
The bridges were arched and were much longer than the chasms *NM* Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 03:30:48 AM 796 Views
How does that keep them from toppling when they are pushed over the edge of the chasms, though? *NM* j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 02:23:32 PM 725 Views
Think about it Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 05:17:07 PM 1436 Views
I don't see. Palatine - 12/09/2010 06:18:22 PM 1504 Views
Agreed. I spent a couple hours thinking about it yesterday and came to the same conclusion. j-whitt987 - 13/09/2010 01:54:45 PM 1531 Views
