I figured W&T spoilers was safest. But why didn’t Ivory, Jasnah’s ink spren, notice Pattern or Testament in the Way of Kings? Also why didn’t Ivory see Shallan swap the soul casters?
It’s late and I just came up with this so sorry if it’s not well thought out, I’m just excited. SLA and Mistborn era 1+2 spoilers here but I tagged everything to be safe.
I just learned about this word of brandon stating it’s possible for hemalurgy to steal a nahel bond.

That was like 8 years ago. Nowadays, we know Shallan has a connection to the ghostbloods, is stuck off of roshar (in shadesmar), and conveniently has two nahel bonds. I don’t know if she would want go back to the ghostbloods for help, but given that it’s implied she’s pregnant she may need to make a deal with them to get her back onto roshar.
I think this could be a plot in the ghostbloods. The scadrians experimenting on her to discover that hemalurgy can steal the nahel bond. Imagine how terrifying Kelsier would be with a shardblade and plate. Or if he could summon a shardblade and potentially burn some of its metal.
I’m prepping for step 1. I am doing amboss questions daily and I get about 55% right. Recently, I started going back a day or two later and making a question bank out of questions I missed. I noticed this has brought my EPC and probability of passing up a good bit. I feel like that doesn’t accurately reflect things though. Like I’m getting tons of questions right now, but I think a part of it is because I recognize the question. I want my score predictor to accurately reflect my work but I also want to review for retention. Is there a way to exclude questions I’ve already done from my score predictions? Is there a better way to review the questions?
