第89章:
「我對於魄散的研究已經說服了我,這些東西並不單單是『虛無擁有的諸靈魂』或『夜行的九道陰影』,他們各自都是一種特殊種類的靈,並且被贈予了強大的力量。」
—《祕辛考》,第3頁
"My research into the Unmade has convinced me that these things were not simply "spirits of the void" or "nine shadows who moved in the night." They were each a specific kind of spren, endowed with vast powers."
第90章:
「我已經竭盡全力釐清虛實,然而在引虛者傳說的穿插下,這兩者如同混色的顏料般變得難分難解。每一個魄散都有十幾個名號,論及他們的諸多力量,可形容的詞彙從夢幻乃至於恐怖都有。」
—《祕辛考》,第4頁
"I have done my best to separate fact from fiction, but the two blend like mixing paint when the Voidbringers are involved. Each of the Unmade has a dozen names, and the powers ascribed to them range from the fanciful to the terrifying."
第91章:
「我應該說明,儘管許多人格特質和動機的產生必須歸咎於他們,我還是接受魄散只是靈的看法。既然如此,他們除了只是概念的呈現或是神聖的力量之外,更像是不同的個體。」
—《祕辛考》,第7頁
"I should point out that although many personalities and motives are ascribed to them, I'm convinced that the Unmade were still spren. As such, they were as much manifestations of concepts or divine forces as they were individuals."
第92章:
「我最希望說明的一點,是魄散仍然存在於我們身邊。我知道這非常具有爭議性,因為有關他們的故事總是和神學交纏不清。然而,在我看來,他們造成的一些效應在世上相當普及---而我們看待他們的方式,僅如對待其他靈的表現一樣,不以為意。」
—《祕辛考》,第12頁
"The most important point I wish to make is that the Unmade are still among us. I realize this will be contentious, as much of the lore surrounding them is intertwined with theology. However, it is clear to me that some of their effects are common in the world - and we simply treat them as we would the manifestations of other spren."
第93章:
「特拉席爾曾在一份廣為引用的段落中提過夜林拿,又稱為惡風。儘管加絲娜-科林眾所周知地質疑這段話的精確性,我仍然對其確信不疑。」
—《祕辛考》,第26頁
"Traxil mentions Yelig-nar, named Blightwind, in an oft-cited quote. Though Jasnah Kholin has famously called its accuracy into question, I believe it."
第95章:
「夜林拿擁有偉大的力量,也許是所有的波力合而為一。他能將任何引虛者轉化為極度危險的敵人。有趣的是,我所蒐羅的三個傳說都提到了要用吞下寶石的動作來進行這個過程。」
—《祕辛考》,第27頁
"Yelig-nar had great powers, perhaps the powers of all Surges compounded in one. He could transform any Voidbringer into an extremely dangerous enemy. Curiously, three legends I found mention swallowing a gemstone to engage this process."
第96章:
「夜林拿據稱會吞噬人的魂魄,但我找不到精確的解釋。我無法肯定這則傳說的正確性。」
—《祕辛考》,第51頁
"Yelig-nar is said to consume souls, but I can't find a specific explanation. I'm uncertain this lore is correct."
第97章:
「在魄散之中,斯加阿納最受燦軍畏懼。他們曾不斷傳述她能使靈腐化的能力,雖然她只能感染『半靈("lesser" spren)』---不管那是甚麼意思。」
—《祕辛考》,第89頁
"Of the Unmade, Sja-anat was most feared by the Radiants. They spoke extensively of her ability to corrupt spren, though only "lesser" spren - whatever that means."
第98章:
「傳說建議,如果靈的行為開始變得詭異,則必須遺棄該座城市。有趣的是,斯加阿納經常被視為一個個體,不像其他一些魄散---例如摩拉克或阿舍特蔓---僅被視為特殊的力量。」
—《祕辛考》,第90頁
"Lore suggested leaving a city if the spren there start acting strangely. Curiously, Sja-anat was often regarded as an individual, when others - like Moelach or Ashertmarn - were seen as forces."
第99章:
「訥加烏的著名能力在於促使軍隊進入怒戰狀態,並且賦予他們極度兇悍的性質。有趣的是,他會對一場衝突的兩方都這麼做,引虛者和人類皆然。這似乎和擁有較少自我覺察的靈行為類似。」
—《祕辛考》,第121頁
"Nergaoul was known for driving forces into a battle rage, lending them great ferocity. Curiously, he did this to both sides of a conflict, Voidbringer and human. This seems common of the less self-aware spren."
第100章:
「我堅信訥加烏仍然在羅沙活躍。因為雅烈席人在戰鬥時的『戰意』和古代的紀錄實在太過相符---包括了紅霧和垂死生物的幻象。」
—《祕辛考》,第140頁
"I am convinced that Nergaoul is still active on Roshar. The accounts of the Alethi "Thrill" of battle align too well with ancient records - including visions of red mist and dying creatures."
第101章:
「摩拉克和訥加烏極為相像,不過他所帶來的是對於未來的預示幻象,而非戰場上的怒意。關於這一點,傳說和神學都有共識。預見未來起源於魄散,也因此來自於敵方。」
—《祕辛考》,第143頁
"Moelach is very similar to Nergaoul, though instead of inspiring a battle rage, he supposedly granted visions of the future. In this, lore and theology align. Seeing the future originates with the Unmade, and is from the enemy."
第102章:
「摩拉克據說能在幾個時刻賦予未來的幻象---但最常見的就是在界域(realms)間的傳渡(transition)之時。也就是在一個靈魂接近寧靜廳的時刻。]
—《祕辛考》,第144頁
"Moelach was said to grant visions of the future at different times - but most commonly at the transition point between realms. When a soul was nearing the Tranquiline Halls."
第103章:
「許多文化都提及了在人們死去的時候發作,被稱為死亡搖鈴的囈語。傳統上會將它們歸因於全能之主,然而我發現有太多過於具有預言性。我清楚明白這會是最有爭議性的主張,但我想這是摩拉克仍然在現代活躍的現象之一。證據顯而易見:這些現象是地區性的,並且遍及羅沙各處。此乃這種魄散在各地漫遊產生的結果。」
—《祕辛考》,第170頁
"Many cultures speak of the so-called Death Rattles that sometimes overtake people as they die. Tradition ascribes them to the Almighty, but I find too many to be seemingly prophetic. This will be my most contentious assertion I am sure, but I think these are the effects of Moelach persisting in our current times. Proof is easy to provide: the effect is regionalized, and tends to move across Roshar. This is the roving of the Unmade."
第104章:
「阿舍特蔓,又稱為醉溺之心,是三種無心智魄散的最後一位。他帶給人們的並非預言或對於戰鬥的渴望,而是對於成癮的貪求。對此,巴雅拉(Bayala)宮廷在480年的強烈放蕩---此舉造成了王朝的覆滅---也許正好能歸因於阿舍特蔓的影響。」
—《祕辛考》,第200頁
"Ashertmarn, the Heart of the Revel, is the final of the three great Mindless Unmade. His gift to men is not prophecy or battle focus, but a lust for indulgence. Indeed, the great debauchery recorded from the court of Bayala in 480 - which led to dynastic collapse - might be attributable to the influence of Ashertmarn."
第106章:
「我認為巴亞多米什蘭是魄散中最有趣的。據說她心思精明,是敵方諸多勢力中的公主,是他們在數次荒寂時代中的統帥。我不知道這跟敵方的古老神祇,名為憎惡,有怎樣的關連。」
—《祕辛考》,第224頁
"I find Ba-Ado-Mishram to be the most interesting of the Unmade. She is said to have been keen of mind, a highprincess among the enemy forces, their commander during some of the Desolations. I do not know how this relates to the ancient god of the enemy, named Odium."
第107章:
「在現代,對於巴亞多米什蘭我們所知甚少。我只能假定她和其他魄散不同,已經回到了沉淪地獄,或已經在阿哈利艾提安中被摧毀。」
—《祕辛考》,第226頁
"There is very little information about Ba-Ado-Mishram in more modern times. I can only assume she, unlike many of them, returned to Damnation or was destroyed during Aharietiam."
第108章:
「凱抹阿芮佘,又稱為塵母,造就了一些最廣為流傳的傳說。這些傳說的豐沛程度,讓區隔胡謅與真相的工作變得極度困難。但我相信她並不是守夜者,儘管有些故事是這樣闡述的。」
—《祕辛考》,第231頁
"Chemoarish, the Dustmother, has some of the most varied lore surrounding her. The wealth of it makes sorting lies from truths extremely difficult. I do believe she is not the Nightwatcher, contrary to what some stories claim."
第109章:
「瑞佘斐爾,子夜之母,是另一位疑似在阿哈利艾提安中就已經被殲滅的魄散。」
—《祕辛考》,第250頁
"Re-Shephir, the Midnight Mother, is another Unmade who appears to have been destroyed at Aharietiam."
第110章:
「子夜之母創造出影子與油構成的怪物,是對於她目擊或吞噬的生物的黑暗模仿。有關它們的描述和現代文學中任何的靈都不符合。」
—《祕辛考》,第252頁
"The Midnight Mother created monsters of shadow and oil, dark imitations of creatures she saw or consumed. Their description matches no spren I can find in modern literature."
第111章:
「細膩的讀者想必已經察覺到,我只列出了八種魄散。傳說堅定地強調魄散一共有九位,一個不神聖的數字,無法對稱,並且和敵方的關聯甚密。」
—《祕辛考》,第266頁
"It will not take a careful reader to ascertain I have listed only eight of the Unmade here. Lore is confident there were nine, an unholy number, asymmetrical and often associated with the enemy."
第112章:
「我也很肯定一共有九隻魄散。傳奇與名字的數量之多,使得我可能有所誤解,並將兩種魄散合而為一。在下一篇章節中,我會論述自己關於這點的幾個理論。」
—《祕辛考》,第266頁
"I am certain there are nine Unmade. There are many legends and names that I could have misinterpreted, conflating two Unmade into one. In the next section, I will discuss my theories on this."
第113章:
「但如果我是對的,研究同樣無誤,那麼問題仍然存在。第九位魄散到底是誰呢?真的是戴艮納西斯嗎?倘若如此,他們的行動會不會是造成艾米亞被摧毀殆盡的真正原因?」
—《祕辛考》,第307頁
"If I'm correct and my research true, then the question remains. Who is the ninth Unmade? Is it truly Dai-gonarthis? If so, could their actions have actually caused the complete destruction of Aimia?"
