Diferencia entre revisiones de «Spren»

Larger spren have the ability to shape-shift often mimicking faces, as well as being able to mimic voices. Apart from a few sentient sub-types, spren are not intelligent and therefore speaking with them is an exercise in futility. A fact often learned as a child. Spren are often ignored because of this.{{ref|b|sa1|c|2}} Larger spren also have the ability to pick up small objects and give small pinches of energy.{{ref|b|sa1|c|6}}

 

 

 

While spren are often invisible, they are said to be ever present and will appear around the phenomenon they are named for.{{ref|b|sa1|c|7}} The exception is in [[Shinovar]], where no spren appear.{{ref|b|sa1|i|4}} Some spren are easier to find than others, however even the most common will, at times, fail to appear.{{ref|b|sa1|i|5}} Larger spren will often appear to a singular person, who they will taunt and play with.{{ref|b|sa1|c|2}} Some humans, such as [[Rock]], have the ability to see these spren, even if the spren in question does not explicitly reveal themselves to the viewer. These people are called ''alaii'iku'' by the [[Unkalaki]].{{ref|b|sa1|c|21}}

Spren seem to be tied closely with [[Wikipedia: Quantum field theory| quantum field theory]]. Each sub-type of spren are manifestations of an underlying cognitive field, like electrons are excitations of an underlying electron field. This is supported by the fact that all spren, of the same sub-type, are "essentially the same individual."{{ref|b|sa1|c|17}} This also ties into the causal link between spren and their namesake.

==Symbiotic Relationships==

 

The [[Parshendi]] also form symbiotic bonds with spren to enter different "Forms." [[Parshmen]] are Parshendi lacking a bond with a spren, and so have no Form.<ref name=eshonai />

It is also possible that the magic fish of the [[Purelake]] and the [[Ryshadium]] breed of horses get their unique traits from bonds with spren.
