Ele quebrou o juramento fazendo promessas conflitantes. O vínculo de Nahel se rompe quando Kaladin se esforça para salvar sua vida
Kaladin fez juramentos conflitantes: proteger Elhokar e ajudar Moash. Dar juramentos conflitantes é aparentemente algo que prejudica o vínculo de Nahel, pelo menos quando se forma com honorpren.
She scrunched up her face. “I don’t want to force you to do anything. You
have to do what you think is right.”
“That’s what I’m trying to do!”
“No. I don’t think you are.”
“Fine. I’ll tell Moash and his friends that I’m out, that I’m not going to
help them.”
“But you gave Moash your word!”
“I gave my word to Dalinar too. . . .”
She drew her lips to a line, meeting his eyes.
“That’s the problem, isn’t it,” Kaladin whispered. “I’ve made two
promises, and I can’t keep my word to both.” Oh, storms. Was this the sort of
thing that had destroyed the Knights Radiant?
What happened to your honorspren when you confronted them with a
choice like this? A broken vow either way.

O vínculo fica mais fraco de uma maneira insidiosa, com Syl agindo mais desatento e infantil. O que aconteceu quando Kaladin cai no abismo é que ele tenta atrair a luz da tempestade. Foi quando ele ouviu Syl gritar em sua cabeça, como se esse ato fosse muito tenso no vínculo enfraquecido.
As the bridge fell out from beneath him, Kaladin reached for Stormlight.
Nothing.
Panic surged through him. His stomach dropped and he tumbled into the
air.
The fall into the darkness of the chasm was a brief moment, but also an
eternity. He caught a glimpse of Shallan and several men in blue uniforms
falling and flailing in terror.
Like a drowning man struggling toward the surface, Kaladin thrashed for
the Stormlight. He would not die this way! The sky was his! The winds were
his. The chasms were his.
He would not!
Syl screamed, a terrified, painful sound that vibrated Kaladin’s very
bones. In that moment, he got a breath of Stormlight, life itself.
Words of Radiance
É só depois disso que Kaladin não encontra Syl.
If only he could find Syl. Everything would be better if he could see her
again, if he could know that she was all right. That scream . . .
