Difference between revisions of "Shallan Davar"

Because of her Nahel bond with [[spren]] Pattern, Shallan possesses the ability to Surgebind. She has access to the surges Illumination and Transformation. As with all Surgebinders, she has superhuman speed, strength, and healing when she holds Stormlight. She has demonstrated her ability to Soulcast multiple times, though the full scope of her abilities remain yet to be seen. While stranded in Shadesmar with Kaladin, Adolin, and their sprens, Shallan showed the ability to influence the world as seen when she used orbs to created platforms such as bridges and walls. {{book ref|ob|116}} She is in the process of becoming a [[Knights Radiant|Knight Radiant]].

The Surge of Transformation allows Shallan to use [[Soulcasting]]. She has discovered that she can soulcast without the need of a fabrial by visiting Shadesmar and changing a goblet into blood. She has also learned that the soulcaster she had been determined to steal is a nonfunctional fake, and that Jasnah can also soulcast without one. She used this ability to sink ''[[Wind's Pleasure]]'' by turning the ship into water during an assassination attempt on Jasnah by the Ghostbloods. {{book ref|wor|7}} While stranded in Shadesmar with Kaladin, Adolin, and their sprens, Shallan showed the ability to influence the world as seen when she used orbs to created platforms such as bridges and walls. {{book ref|ob|116}}

In Words of Radiance, Shallan discovered the ability to project images into life although incorporeal. Due to a lack of practice and experience, she could only create the images after sketching them first. In Oathbringer, Shallan was shown to use Illumination without drawing her images beforehand as seen when she conjured images she recalled watching as a child for Pattern. She also discovered she could use Pattern to project sounds when in the image. The range of an image is limited to its proximity to a source of Investiture as the user moves away from an image it will begin to blur and then dissolve when its connection is broken, increased focus on the part of a user can increase the range but not greatly. During the [[Battle of Kholinar]] Shallan was shown to be capable of making more solid illusions. While the reason for this is unknown, Jasnah commented that Shallan's projections appeared to have some substance to them as if it had more stormlight than usual. {{book ref|ob|121}} {{book ref|ob|120}}
