The '''Immortal Words''' were a set of oaths sworn by the [[Knights Radiant]] in order to gain their [[Surgebinding]] abilities. There were five sets of '''Ideals''' for each order, with the first being the same among all orders, and the [[Order of Lightweavers]] being the exception as they swore no oaths past the first one.{{book ref|sa2|89}} While the general idea behind every Ideal is the same between members of a certain order, the exact wording can change based on the individual journey of each Radiant. The Stormfather has a measure of control over when individuals in at least some orders are able to progress in their oaths.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
== Purpose ==
Although swearing the Fifth Ideal allows a Radiant to fully master their powers, it is not necessary to do so in order to be considered a Knight Radiant or to access their primary powers. In fact, it is such a difficult process that the Order of the Skybreakers has not had someone swear the Fifth Ideal for centuries.{{book ref|Oathbringer|90}}
