Before the Recreance, there were three Bondsmiths. Did they all bond "superspren", or is Dalinar an exception?
Brandon Sanderson
They did something similar.

Questioner
We were talking that it's kind of a shame that Dalinar doesn't have his own "real" spren. I think it's an upgrade, is there a way I should think of this? Is it a cool thing or a bad thing?
Brandon Sanderson
This is a very cool thing, but it's also a very dangerous thing.
Questioner
Well [the Stormfather] controls the highstorms ... follow-up question: if he dies, does that affect the spren?
Brandon Sanderson
Dying, as long as the oaths are not broken, does not affect the spren in a very terrible way. There are effects.

Questioner
What Order of Knights Radiant would you want to be in?
Brandon Sanderson
I would probably place myself in the Bondsmiths, would be my guess. But Bondsmiths are very hard to get into. There's a limited number of people who can be Bondsmiths, so yeah.

How do Bondsmiths use the Dawnshards?
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
RAFO.

The Willshapers have to have Cohesion, because Cohesion is the "grab something solid and melt it and push it in any direction you want..." it's the weak atomic force.
It's, you can take this and push your hand into it and leave a hand print, or things like that, and that's a Willshaper thing, not a Bondsmith thing.

(Speaking of the division surge) Is that a re-framing of, at one point in time you were talking about weak/strong forces?
Brandon Sanderson
Um, weak/strong forces, yes, that's the one that sent me there partially. Like, I'm not actually... the idea of the fundamental forces is a cool thing to me so it's not like I'm actually trying to use the weak and strong forces, the idea of there being fundamental forces. I wanted to go off on it in a fancy way. Like this one right here I told them was surface tension. But it's not really surface tension. It's more like um, the people with this could take a piece of cloth and snap it out and it would become hard as if the cloth became steel. I'm trying to explain this scientifically, but it doesn't work scientifically. Imagine as if they could restructure the atoms so that they became a latticework like a crystal rather than being soft like...cloth. I'm calling it surface tension, but it's not really surface tension.

Tensile strength?
Brandon Sanderson
It's kind of like tensile strength. I have to go through Peter and say "Alright Peter, come up with what we should really call this." He does the hard science a lot better than I do. I do the armchair theories and then he goes, "Ok, now this is the math if someone were to actually fall off of this and 0.7 gravity and the weight of the bridge...". (looking back at the chart) So what can I give you that I didn't give her? Um, one of the orders is called Bondsmiths.
