Types of Surges ĭiagram of the Radiants' symbols and their interconnected Surges It is stated within Words of Radiance that there are only ever up to three Bondsmiths at a time, and that they are closer to Heralds than other Knights Radiant. The spren that bond with Bondsmiths are said by Brandon to be unique. Lightweavers bond with Cryptics or liespren. įor example: Kaladin, a Windrunner, bonds with the honorspren Syl Shallan, a Lightweaver, bonds with the liespren Pattern Jasnah, an Elsecaller, bonds with the inkspren Ivory Renarin, a Truthwatcher, bonds with the mistspren Glys Lift, an Edgedancer, bonds with the Cultivationspren Wyndle Dalinar, a Bondsmith, bonds with the Stormfather, and Navani - as the newest amongst Bondsmiths - is now bonded to the Sibling. From Dalinar's conversations with Nohadon, it is known that this bond between humans and spren is called the Nahel bond. Readers don't yet know the Resonances of the other orders of Knights Radiant.Įach of the different Orders of the Knights Radiant are related to one kind of spren. Lightweavers' Resonance has to do with their mnemonic abilities (i.e., the mental images that Shallan has which she then renders on a page.) (The divine attributes of Windrunners are Leadership/Protection, which fit their squires' protection.) This has been confirmed by Brandon and it is cosmere-wide mechanics when a Nahel bonded individual has access to two different powers.įor example, Windrunners' Resonance has to do with the number and power of their squires. The combination of Surges amongst Surgebinders has unique effects, known as Resonances. The orders of the Knights Radiant are believed to have been completely comprised of Surgebinders. Surges work differently for different orders for example, Illumination for Lightweavers and Truthwatchers is slightly different. The same link is visible between Soulcasters and academics. For example, although they each trained hard to achieve their current levels of perfection, both Szeth and Kaladin were drawn to combat and had an affinity for it from their beginnings. Surgebinders also appear to have natural gifts, along with the other powers they possess. In unique cases, Surgebinders may also draw on other forms of light to fuel their abilities, such as Lift's ability to metabolize food into Lifelight, Venli's ability to use both Stormlight and Voidlight, or Navani's ability to use Towerlight after bonding the Sibling.
"And then eventually, they were used to undo Adonalsium itself." The four primal Commands that created all things." He paused. To make such Commands, one must have the reasoning - the breadth of understanding - of a deity. Demands on a level no person could ever manage alone. "All their greatest applications require Intent and a Command. His body began to re-form, hordelings crawling back into place. "The most powerful forms of Surgebinding transcend traditional mortal understanding," Nikli said. Surgebinders holding Stormlight can hold their breath for greatly increased lengths of time, with Stormlight sustaining the body in place of oxygen. As long as the Surgebinder is holding his or her breath, Stormlight leaks out much more slowly. Stormlight is typically drawn from infused gemstones by inhaling and willing it to enter the body. Shallan, Kaladin, Lift, and Dalinar all deepen their commitments to the Radiants.ĭuring the events of Edgedancer, Szeth, Lift, and the Stump use Surgebinding.ĭuring the events of Oathbringer, Szeth, Shallan, Jasnah, Kaladin, Renarin, Lift, Lopen, Dalinar, Teft, Drehy, Rock, Skar, and Malata use Surgebinding. ĭuring the events of The Way of Kings, Szeth, Shallan, and Jasnah use Surgebinding, and Kaladin awakens as a Surgebinding Windrunner.ĭuring the events of Words of Radiance, Szeth, Shallan, Jasnah, Kaladin, Lift, and Lopen all use Surgebinding to various ends. Most who are aware of it know it mainly from inaccurate legends. Its effects haven't been seen for millennia and histories from times of the Heraldic Epochs, when Surgebinders fought during the Desolations and formed the orders of the Knights Radiant, are all but nonexistent. By the final days of the Era of Solitude, knowledge of Surgebinding is all but totally lost.
