"Karger answers this pretty well already, but I just have one more thing to add. Szeth hating killing, but felt forced to because of the oathstone. If the Shamanate is wrong, then all the murders Szeth did, were by his own hand, and laid at his own feet. That is why he ultimately let Kaladin kill him. He owned up to responsibility for all the deaths he caused. That is also why he was upset Nale revived him, and by extension why he now tries to atone for his actions. \n \n\n\n\n\n\tStormlight continually heals while you hold it.\n \n\n\n\tOathbringer spoilers\n \n\n\n\n\n\tEdgedancer spoilers\n \n\n\n\n\n\tOathbringer spoilers\n \n\n\n\n\n\tSo the idea would be their bodies would hit the ground, and as soon as damage was done, the stormlight was already actively healing them. As Kaladin falls into the chasm, it notes he forced his bond with Syl resulting in her screaming in pain. So he was able to use stormlight in that moment, but after that the bond completely left him. \n \n\n\n\n\n\tWell personally I wouldn't call it a deus-ex machina considering there are very real costs to the people who soulcast, and what can be soulcasted via the fabrial is relatively limited in scope, and access. Now having said that, it is commented throughout the novels how soulcasting completely changed how warfare was done on Roshar. Armies could move far faster because there was no need to wait on supply lines, or guard them in transit. Whole cultural foods arose from finding ways to make soulcast food more edible (herdazian chouta if I recall the name correctly). Glad to help   \n\n\n\n\n\tLol never said Sadeas was infallible. \n \n\n\n\n\n\tI see where you are coming from. All I can really say is the novel said that Kaladin kept his stormlight from being visible, and although it is noteworthy that he was able to avoid strikes from full shardbearers, Kaladin himself technically didn't land any \"big\" hits. So at least with the lighteyes, their eyes were focused on Adolin. \n \n\n\n\n\n\tI do not believe so due to the level of pre-planning required to ambush Amaram. I believe Dalinar had laid the trap, and gathered the info in the background before Kaladin disappeared in the chasm. Dalinar then finished gathering the information while Kaladin was missing. Dalinar said at least he chose to do what he did when he did it, because they were about to leave for the center of the shattered plains if I recall correctly, and he wanted it resolved before they left. (I just checked and I was right, it was just before they were going to leave for the center of the shattered plains.) So I would imagine he wouldn't want a traitor behind his back in the middle of a war zone. \n \n\n\n\n\n\tIf I recall correctly, Szeth mentions in Way of Kings or Words of Radiance that Urithiru for some reason causes the gemstones to lose stormlight slower so he keeps a cache there to grab as needed.\n \n\n\n\tOathbringer (spoilers below)\n \n\n\n\n\n\t \n \n"
