Is anything magical going on with the screams Szeth hears?
Brandon Sanderson
Uhhh, Szeth's screams. Uhhm, I'm trying to decide how to answer this. It is not, see here's the thing. What we would call magical may not be considered magical in the Cosmere, but it depends on your definition of magic. Would Szeth if he were on our planet and have done those things would he hear those screams, probably not, but would someone else in the Cosmere who had gone through what he had gone through hear those screams, yes.

So it has to do with the spiritual realm?
Brandon Sanderson
Yea, mhmm, yea.
Questioner
How are Shallan's Lightweavings related to the screams that Szeth hears?
Brandon Sanderson
In that they are slightly attached to the Spiritual Realm.
Questioner
If the spren that bond people scream when they touch a Shardblade, but then at the end of Words of Radiance Kaladin holds Szeth's honorblade and they do not have a problem with that, why does the Stormfather force Dalinar to get rid of his Honorblade at the end Words of Radiance?
Brandon Sanderson
So... He does not have an Honorblade at the end of Words of Radiance.
Questioner
He does not. Oh, I thought he got it from... [Taln]
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, that's what the assumption is. If you look very closely, the blade that you think he ends up with is described differently from the one that he actually does.
Questioner
Szeth a lot of the time throughout Words of Radiance is referring to the fact that he's hearing his victims screaming in his head. Is that actually just his conscience screaming at him or has he possibly already bonded to a spren in some way, that is displeased with his actions?
Brandon Sanderson
That is not his spren, good question... It is not the spren—it is not a spren that is for one of the orders.
Questioner
Okay, but it is related to—
Brandon Sanderson
I didn't say that. I just said it is not a spren—it is not a Blade. It is not one of those.
