Wax is the troubling one, as I have him burning so much steel that he's well on his way, but isn't showing any side effects. (Which is that using the power so much that it permeates your soul can be dangerous, a kind of uncontrolled version of a spren bond.)And so, I don't want to let myself just start making people savants right and left. The more I dig into savants in the later outlines, the more I feel that I'm in a dangerous area-in that I'm disobeying their original intention. I don't need an essay on the topic (though you know I'd love one!), just some details on what we can consider canon for theories, and what we should be careful around.Įvgeni,So here's the problem. I replied to your Facebook comment, asking if you could clarify a little bit which aspects of savantism you are thinking of keeping and/or cutting. Hey, I wouldn't normally contact you directly like this, but given that you thought it important enough to reach out and let me know you might change how savants work, I figured you probably wouldn't be too upset by this message. I think it deviates too far from my original vision.

The more i think about them, the less I'm not liking how my current course has them being treated in upcoming books. I'm really considering doing a backpedal on savants.
