Erm, is this post really necessary? Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but most people come here not to spam pointless threads, and expect at least some form of content to the topics they come to read, and this doesn't really seem to have any content to it, and this topic consists of, ya know, two words. One of which happens to be an onomatopoeia of sorts. Which, at least around here, could be considered bad Netiquette.

Jus' sayin'. :)

You're absolutely correct, Eorangal. My post was unnecessary and entirely without merit.

However, this post is about spren, and what types you would like to see, speculations on their powers, etc...

I felt the word Squee described my feelings accurately.

I'd agree but I think he was bored because nobody would reply to his post in the Way of Kings discussion about Sprens... Spran?... Whats the plural of Spren?

I think the plural of spren is spren.

So, I have developed a theory about the spren. They seem to be related to feelings and the four elements so far, but I bet there is at least one type of Spren for every magic system that will be introduced in the books. Which means, If I am correct there are gravity spren at the center of this world.

Semi-related; Szeth mentioned spren as a possible cause of gravity which means there are theologies or sciences in that world involving spren and their powers.

I almost read that last post, which might have explained what Sprens are: I thought that's what the Way of Kings thread was for, a place to keep all the spoilers together.
At least put 'Way of Kings' spoilers in the title please!

That's exactly why I made the Way of Kings thread. 

:D WHERE ARE THE FORUM COPS WHEN YOU NEED 'EM!?  :D

Spren=awesomeness!

There seems to be quite the variety to them, I can't wait to see just how much stuff they cover.  Now my question is, are they attracted by what they represent or formed by it?

Or both?

I don't think they are formed by it. They talk about spren like they've been around for a long time. It seems like they are attracted to whatever it is more so then they are formed by it.

But since we know so little about them as of yet, it's possible they gather near what they are associated with to reproduce, no?
