+Tekiny he/him Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Like the title says, I don't think I understand progression. At first I thought it was merely growing things that could grow/renew themselves. See the plants in Edgedancer and the flesh/muscles/bones of people getting healed. But then I thought: "Then why doesn't hair grow when you use Prosgression on someboy?" and I discovered that it works by bringing the "subject" closer to their spiritual ideal (?) and that worked for me. But what the storms did Lift do with the unconcious Radiants in the tower then? That doesn't match any of these definitions. (Unless you say that "not being able to use the surges" is a deviation from their spiritual ideal self and hence can be "Progressioned". But I hope there is a better explanation for this.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathiau he/him Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I don't think Lift healed the Radiants ability to use the Surges, just the fact they were unconscious Whether being able to use the Surge is part of your Spiritweb is uncertain, I'd say no since Hemalurgy would still a Radiant's the Spren bound and not the Surge 24 minutes ago, Tekiny said: can be "Progressioned" Healed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration he/him Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think that healing in the tower was more likely just Lift being Lift. but it's not outside the realm of possibility that she healed to wake them up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustration he/him Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Just now, mathiau said: I don't understand what you mean by that Like how LIft can touch spren, or get into Stormfather visions, stuff like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apepi Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 It might have to do with intent. People don't grow hair because they aren't intending to try to grow hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, radiants themselves just turn into what they see themselves as, so growing hair isn't a problem for them. But for someone else they could use their power on...I don't know. It could be possible, if they imagine that they should have hair. But like, this isn't a huge problem that they are in war, any stormlight and such is being used to heal people, not to do quality of life changes. Like this is one of the plot points of the book, they havent had a lot of time doing science and stuff because they are always at war, but the only reason they have developed fabrials and other things is that the desolations have stopped. But they didn't have radiants, so they couldnt do any testing with those powers. Edited March 20, 2021 by apepi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
