Several days after the expedition had begun, Shallan switched from riding on horseback to a carriage, so that she could continue her study of ''[[Words of Radiance (in-world)|Words of Radiance]]''. Pattern helped Shallan shiftsift through the information and offered opinions on what was more likely fact or fiction. While drawing, Pattern commented on the uselessness of creationspren, and their lack of purpose. As Shallan reflected on his comment, she was reminded of the artist [[Eleseth]], as she had chosen spheres of only one color, to lend light while she drew. She told the story of Eleseth's experiment to Pattern, who found the story fascinating for how it reflected on human perception and the ability of humans to ignore lies.{{book ref|sa2|77}}{{book ref|sa2|78}}
 
On the day of the battle, Pattern alerted those working with Shallan to his presence, after he begun to buzz loudly in response to the storm. The scholar's were wary of Pattern, and thought he should be studied with caution, as he could be related to the Voidbringers. Pattern denied being related to the Voidbringers, and urged Shallan to hurry in her search as he could sense the changes being brought by the [[Listener]]'s song. After Shallan had found the Oathgate, Pattern told her that both the highstorm and the [[Everstorm]] were on their way, and they would cause immense destruction when they clashed. When Shallan struggled to understand the mechanisms of the Oathgate, Pattern suggested that she should look at it from a wider context, as she had done during her escape of the chasms. In doing so, Shallan realized that the Oathgate was a [[fabrial]] and using Pattern, she activated the platform, transporting those outside to Urithiru and saving the Alethi army.{{book ref|sa2|81}}{{book ref|sa2|84}}{{book ref|sa2|86}}
