"I agree that there should be paired opposite and that they will be more complicated than just pairing. I came to the same conclusion after looking at the Almatic chart (The nature of something like relmantics make repeating patterns a thing, I would not be surprised to find out that there are 6 more surges on Roshar that are \"Void\" surges controlled by odium ) \n  \nThat said the actual intents of the shards become harder to determine. It could be argued that Odium should have an opposite that is Strictly Love and yet there is not one so far. That Pairing would be strong enough that they would have to be in the same system at least.  How ever if you were to split the concept of love between several shards and mix with other cognitive functions..... You would end up with things like Preservation, Cultivation, Endowment, Devotion, and Honor.  So we can assume that while they are Paired like the Alomantic table a Perfect pairing is impossible.  This is actually something I have been thinking on a lot as a MAG villain of mine in AoL is at least Slightly cosmer aware. \n  \nSome of the Allomatic Pairings such as physical internal pulling vs. physical internal pushing do not make as much sense as I feel they should for their effects if they were tied so well together and yet perfectly opposite. \n"
