Difference between revisions of "Lift"

Sometime between visiting the Nightwatcher and the events of her first interlude, Lift met Hoid.{{wob ref|date=2016-12-3|5016|Arcanum Unbounded Hoboken signing}}

Lift has formed a [[Nahel bond]] with Wyndle, which grants her the ability to Surgebind, although Lift herself is not entirely certain whether she believes this.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} As with all Surgebinders, Lift gains superhuman strength and speed when she holds [[Stormlight]], as well as the ability to heal quickly from non-mortal wounds. When Lift is invested with Stormlight, she refers to it as her "Awesomeness." She is a member of the order of Radiants known as the Edgedancers. This gives her access to two Surges, Friction and Growth. Lift also has a rare and possibly unique ability to convert food to Stormlight through consumption. While this may seem a great blessing, it hinders her ability to gather Stormlight from gemstones and other sources.{{wob ref|8073|Arcanum Unbounded Fort Collins signing|date=2016-11-298}}

Lift's other power is even more impressive.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Most Surgebinders need to draw Stormlight from an external source in order to manipulate the Surges. Lift, however, can metabolize food directly into Stormlight, instead of sugar.{{17swob ref|post|245060|What she can do is she can metabolize into investiture instead of sugar.|date=February 20, 201567}} Food that she can metabolize quicker, such as bread can be metabolized into Stormlight faster than something like sausage, but may provide less Stormlight overall because it has fewer calories. However, this is limited to substances that she can normally digest into nutrients.{{wob ref|date=2016-12-3|2506|Arcanum Unbounded Hoboken signing}} She can also convert the energy reserves in her own body into Stormlight. These abilities are unique to Lift.{{wob ref|940}} However, this power can be dangerous too, as she often risks malnutrition when she burns through all her excess energy.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} There is another issue with the fact that Lift can gain Stormlight from food. She does not learn how to drain Stormlight from external sources, so the amount of Stormlight she can use is limited by the amount of food she has eaten.

* Unlike Hoid, Lift doesn't like bacon.{{reddit ref|date=2017-12-03|Stormlight_Archive|7haotl|text=Hoid doesn't like Bacon}}

* There are foods that she hates, but they are hard to find.{{wob ref|date=2017-11-28|8672|Oathbringer London signing}}

* Lift sees Wyndle as a slightly longer vine in the Physical Realm than most Edgedancers see their cultivationspren, but the difference is slight.{{wob ref|date=2016-11-29|2573|Arcanum Unbounded Fort Collins signing}}

* It is significant that Lift "stopped aging" at 10 years old. {{wob ref|date=2016-12-3|2503|Arcanum Unbounded Hoboken signing}}
