where does Szeth imply that?
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Szeth's Blade is considerably smaller than the other Shardblades that were described; Szeth's is not 6 feet long. So his Blade is definitely 'different' but I don't think 'extra-magical' is the right term.

I was always wondering about that scene when Syl fights off the death spren. I don't have the book with me at the moment, but didn't Kaladin mention something about the appearance of the sword Syl was weilding? I don't remember her wearing armor but I could be wrong.

Could this have importance as to what Kaladin will become? Also, 'men ride the storms no longer' could be referring to a way that the windrunners travelled, instead of the idea that they just use lashings. Putting it out there.

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this one part but no one else has mentioned it..
On page 381 Dalinar hears a voice in his head and hears the words "Life before death". (there are a couple other things said i believe but I'm not sure about what they were). This could be another piece of evidence that Dalinar could become a Radiant. Just throwing it out there.
