I thought that maybe it's because of how he is weakening. Ruin's slowly taking control, maybe?
"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.

Dalinar lurched, turning to see a woman in delicate Shardplate kneeling beside him holding something bright. It was topaz entwined with a heliodor, both set into a fine metal framework, each stone as big as a man's hand.Topaz and Heliodor are Taln and Ishi, which would mean that connecting the two of them ends up with the Shardbearing girl's ability:
"Lady Knight, could you heal him again?"Which would make the top left small circle Regrowth.
"I should save Regrowth for others who might be wounded."
"Have I told you the story of the king carrying the boulder?"
"Yes." Adolin said.
"I have?"
"Twice. And you made me listen to the passage being read another time."
"Oh. Well, in the same section..."
The miners eventually tired to Took's increasingly slurred stories. They bid him farewell, ignoring his broad hints that another cup of beer would prompt him to tell his greatest tale: that of the time when he'd seen the Nightwatcher herself and stolen a sphere that glowed as black as night. That tale always discomforted Szeth, as it reminded him of the strange black sphere Gavilar had given him. He'd hidden that carefully in Jah Keved. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't want to risk a master taking it from him.
Considering what I've done before, she thought, this is nothing. It wouldn't be the first time she betrayed someone who trusted her.Though I must point out, I'm not really sure why she'd classify her father as someone who trusted her. They weren't the tightest-knit group.
