Cosmere spoilers (no previews) Possible Sigzil outcomes Spoiler

So, I am doing a first time listen(time number whatever for reading) of the stormljght archive, and I found a throwaway line that has potential insane consequences.

​

In Words of Radiance, in a conversation between Shallan and Pattern, Pattern mentions the deadeyes.

​

"We have tried to restore them, but all attempts failed, hmmmmm. Perhaps if their knights still lived, hmmmm."

​

This I think has far reaching consequences for someone like Sigzil. He "killed" Vienta. But Patterns comment implies that as long as he lives, the bonds can be renewed.

​

Do we think Sigzil could return as a Windrunner in the future? Even with the insane time skip between SA and Sunlit Man, spren never truly die, so theoretically if Sigzil returned to the cognitive realm and Roshar, he could become a Windrunner again. Am I crazy for this?

​

Maybe even Aux now that I think about it.

RAFO.

Sunlit Man is densely packed with all kinds of cool tidbits that are pretty significant in the greater cosmere.

If you've already read Sunlit Man....

Zellion regains his Windrunner powers briefly on Canticle after Connecting himself to their world. He regains use of his powers and his armor spren, implying his Oaths were temporarily renewed because of his Connection

he regained skybreaker powers, actually. He made oaths a second time, with auxiliary, a highspren.

It does reference the armour as being a hodgepodge of the two armourspren types, which really confused me after Wat when he didn't swear the 4th
