Turos he/him Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 What kind of spren would be interesting if they existed on Roshar? I'd say: Paranoidspren-Can only be seen if you are being paranoid, and only seen in your peripheral vision ^^ Cavityspren-Like rotspren, but specific to cavities Messagespren-wherever a message is written or drawn, messagespren will hover. Let's say you wrote down a bunch of random letters. No messagespren are attracted, but let say your random letters are a code that you can understand, BAM!, messagespren show up. They would also hover around pictures that the artist specifically made to portray a specific message. Dizzyspren-Appear to be little birds that circle the victim's head xD Ideaspren-These look like little bulbs of glass with light inside and they show up above someone's head when they have an epiphany. Quantumspren-They specifically appear when a cat is in a box... Slangspren-These spren are unique in that they show up when slang words are used, but only as long as the slang hasn't been accepted into society as an official word. They look like disembodied mouths with tongues that try to mimic the vocal movements of the slang word. Pop-upspren-For a more modern Roshar, the spren pop up in front of your computer screen whenever you get a pop-up while browsing the web. They are brightly colored and annoying. Pop-up-blockerspren-These guys appear when your pop-up blocker stops a pop-up from appearing or automatically closes a pop-up. They look like needles that will interact with pop-upspren by stabbing them and making them wither away. Insidejokespren-These are very useful in conversation, allowing someone who is not privvy to the joke to not have to wonder what on earth the others were talking about. Echospren-When sound echoes, echospren fly along the vibrations and bounce off surfaces where the echo is loudest. They look like vibrating sheets of translucent yellow goo. Antisprenspren-These spren appear all around people who are currently annoyed by any spren or spren in general. The more annoyed you are at spren, the more show up. Its not too rare a sight to see someone running down the street recklessly and in a raging fury, covered in a cloud of antisprenspren. Also incorrectly known as passiveagressivespren or shadenfreudespren. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lightflame he/him Posted September 24, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 - RAFOspren: These Spren appear when someone asks Brandon or RJ a question they don't want to answer. - Sprenspren: These Spren appear whenever a Spren appears. Since appearing Spren include Sprenspren, all Spren appearances summon infinite hordes of Sprenspren. - Sprenbackwards: These appear when something goes in reverse. - Stormspren: These Spren appear in the centres of Highstorms. Since they like to cosplay as the Voidbringers and Lost Radiants, they create the old wives' tale that those guys lurk in Highstorms. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyman he/him Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 OK, for the records, Lightflame: That upvote was for RAFOspren and Sprenspren. I really like the recursion, but then I'm a math geek. Also, I think it would be cool if we had Hoidspren. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They light the surroundings so disappear as soon as they appear but then it's dark again so they reappear....ad infinitum. Useful should you wish to hold a rave. Annoying if you want to go to sleep.
