an idea I had, which I'm sure no one else will like, what if Spren, are Cultivations Magic/Gift? I know, I know, it would be nice if their Just the Almighty's shards, but what if?
My theory runs this way, spren are Drawn to Extreme States of Being. in essance, Pain, Anger, Death, Honor, Life etc. Syl is the only Spren we've seen that's Bonded to a person, so I'm basing this theory on her Actions. how does she act? mostly, like a conscious, or guide, prodding Kaladein out of his Depressions, and away from Suicidal thoughts. She grows over the course of the book, gaining memories, personality, and understanding, which she uses on Kaladein to enhance his life. This might be the Purpose of Spren, as Guides to Enhance/Grown/Cultivate people into "better" versions. Honorspren are Attracted to people who display Honor, and they Encourage it. Truthspren seem to also function the same way, Shallen had to speak a "Truth" in order to use her gift, but she didn't Lose that Truth, instead she has to Face it, Remember it, and Grow from Using it.
this brings to mind a possibility, the most commen Spren seen in Elhkoars presence has been Gloryspren, one wonders what ability's they have?
anyway, that's my crazy theory, please, shoot holes in it?
