![]() It is possible to fuel Surgebinding with other sources of Investiture, like BioChromatic Breath. While it is possible to draw the Stormlight from any source infused with it, including directly from the highstorms themselves, the common practice is to use gemstones that have already been infused by the highstorms. Surgebinders access the Lights simply by breathing them in. Additionally, Venli-and likely any Regal with a Nahel bond-can use both Stormlight and Voidlight Navani Kholin-and likely any Bondsmith bonded to the Sibling-can use Towerlight and, as a result of the Old Magic, Lift metabolizes food directly into Lifelight, but is incapable of drawing in Stormlight. Most Surgebinders use Stormlight as their fuel, though the Fused used Voidlight. Surgebinding uses the Lights of Roshar as its fuel source. Each group of Fused, distinguished by its access to a unique Surge, is known as a brand. Fused are not ordinary singers they are souls of ancient singers who reincarnate into the bodies of willing, living singers and displace that soul. There are only nine orders of them, rather than ten, and each has access to only a single Surge Adhesion is considered to be "of Honor" and not accessible to Odium. As their power is granted by Odium, they are powered by Voidlight instead of Stormlight. Fused Ī group of powerful singers known as the Fused are able to Surgebind however, they differ from the Knights Radiant in several ways. A Surgebinder dying without betraying oaths is a very traumatic event for a spren, but it does not cause it to be broken. It is possible, but extremely difficult, for a spren to be healed without its bondmate. Spren cannot "unbreak" on their own, but can be revived if their bondmates take up their oaths again. If the spren "breaks" while in Shardblade form, it reverts to its basic sword form, and can be temporarily revived by being linked to the heartbeat of a person using it. If the Surgebinder acts in a manner conflicting with their oaths, the bond grows weaker until, eventually, the spren "breaks" and is trapped in a cycle of agony after having a significant portion of its consciousness ripped out of it, and their bondmate loses all Surgebinding abilities. Once the bond is at sufficient strength, the spren can manifest as a Shardblade, and the eye color of the Surgebinder changes into the color their spren is associated with. As the bond grows stronger, the spren regains their sapience, and the effectiveness of Stormlight for the Surgebinder increases. The strengthening of the bond is accomplished by the Surgebinder continuing to act in line with the attributes that attracted the spren in the first place, and swearing oaths that are related to those attributes. Once the bond is established, the spren is pulled into the Physical Realm, although they retain very little intelligence and memories and act almost like lesser spren until the bond grows stronger. There are ten types of spren that bond with humans-each granting access to two of the ten Surges, with overlap between them-and each of these types are attracted to different attributes in their bondmates. The spren choose the people they bond with according to the actions and personalities of those people. The Nahel bond is a symbiotic relationship between humans and spren, through which the human gains Surgebinding powers and the spren gains sapience in the Physical Realm. Radiants often learn their "anti-clockwise" Surge first. The exact Surges that someone can manipulate depend on the specific Honorblade or Nahel bond that individual has, or which brand they belong to. The Fused also have access to surges, granted to them by Odium. ![]() Humans also had the ability to manipulate the Surges on Ashyn before the Expulsion, but the mode is unknown. Later, spren mimicked the effects of the Honorblades and started giving Surges to humans by forming a Spiritual bond called the Nahel bond with them. Originally the abilities were only granted to the Heralds by the Almighty via the Honorblades. Surgebinding is not innate to Rosharans, and can be gained in several ways.
